Day-36 CPK. Fed 1 gallon nutrients @ph6.2 runoff ph6.7. she's a beauty , I'm planning to flip @13-15" her neighborhood is gonna get really crowded, probably should have manifolded the Banana. When they reach the Thai Princess that watches them it's time to flip and start raising the lights, that's her job if any of you were wondering. I'm running the old LED lights in the middle on veg only and will not turn on bloom until after the stretch. Trying to keep the 2 autos in here until the flip in a bout 10 days or so. The other little fems have perked up with a little LST/defoliation. Still no rain, so I'm hanging wet towels and boiling water to try and maintain humidity. Even after eating last night I'm barely maintaining 52%rh. My Exhale bag is just about done and ready for the compost bin so I'm just running my bottle. This bag produced for 6mos as usual. The price of Exhale 360 has nearly doubled in the last 2 years . I have the bottle to supplement between bags but I think I'm going to use just the bottle for now. It's cheaper and controlled by a regulator with a solenoid and last about 15 days per mix and charge.
Day-38 CPK. Fed a gallon of nutrients. Added a shot of banana water for her future use during strech in a few weeks. That's it for today.
Day-39 CPK. OOPS! About 4 days ago I remember hearing a small snap while watering, well I accidentally topped one of the main colas. Of course it was at a node that produced a fork that is 90Β° off . UHG!;
Oh well, that hurried my decision to move the auto flowers out and have a lot less chance for accidents.
Day-41 CPK. After 2 consecutive heavy feedings, I was still seeing a calmag deficiency. Pretty common issue in my grows especially with cocoir. So for all the Anti-Flushers, I decided to 'detoxify'. Flushed with 1.5 gallons of water with a few drops Ivory dish detergent to strip salts , took pH reading of the early runoff and it was above 6.8 then I flushed a gallon of rainwater through the subtrate . Finally I added 10ml of calmag and 1.25ml of GHE Hardwater the ghe is just because rainwater is almost distilled and is barren and it's a low calcium additive that lets me calmag or not
What type of clip fan you using there bro? I am looking for one for my tent tutorial series. Check out my greenhouse flashback grow to see how my critical purple turned out! We got 1 auto hermie out of 3 we had to pull but the 2 that finished came out beautifully caked. I can't wait to see how these turn out!
@Loserofthemonth, Thanks so much bro! You are a legend, I will for sure give you a shout-out when going through the equipment best used for these style grows. Thank you again for taking your time to respond my man. Your plants look amazing, Great work and keep up the amazing effort.
@LegacyMarketFarm, I'll check my Amazon orders and get back to you . Those are 3d printed pole clips that the fans are clipped to and solve all clip fan problems. I got those on Amazon also. They are called "grow tent fan mount". I'll put up a picture. Ok I checked and the actual clip fan is an "Air King" and it's a very good quality fan. Went thru several before I found these a couple of years ago. Ok hope that helped and I'll get over there to say hi on your grow soon.
@cheetah844, well if you see I've already answered this, it's because I think I did but I don't see it. This strain is gonna be a mystery to me since I have never used or grown it knowingly. By the the way love my craftyII but I'm way too lazy and old school so it is seldom used. Glass and paper are my scene. As for asthetics and her not being photogenic it's just a color and frost thing with very little contrast. She is really beautiful and I expect to get some color in the next 2 weeks. Olive frost makes a boring picture. Good luck with your grow, I wish I could help you with more experience and say I've seen this robust phenotype before but she is my first CPK and is a single girl.
@cheetah844, I have not used this strain before but the genetics are tasty looking. I've tried to use different dry vapes for a few years. I do like the Crafty II, but I rarely use one. I'm lazy and old school, glass hammer and paper.
@Loserofthemonth, I grow for the same thing... Personal use then give away extra. (I use a very efficient vaporizer too so I use even less than the norm). With just this one harvest I probably wouldn't be able to use it all up in my lifetime.
Wow 10oz! That's awesome, thank you for suggesting this grow!
Have you used this strain before?
