Cali snow has popped off rather efficiently, pretty happy with this one although she has stretched a tiny bit. I've had the light on 50% just to get them started might move it up to 75 if they continue to stretch. All is well so far

Nothing much to report other than I should've perhaps had the lights a bit closer or just higher than 50% because all the seedlings stretched. Smooth sailing so far though got high hopes for this galdem 👌

Slowly but surely reaching that stretch period. Repotted to the 5 gallon only took a day or two before she was growing upwards again thanks to the rhizotonic. Not much else to report

Grow Questions

Benasquellastarted grow question 3 years ago
My PPM using pure rain water is around 70, what I read online is that I need to have somewhere close to 200/400 (EC 0.4) for seedlings, 450/650 (EC 0.9) for later veg and so on. My question being how do I get these numbers? Just keep adding nutrients?

Well that's simple buddy. You need nutes. For a starter general hydroponics do a trio grow, bloom and micro. You'll need a PPM/EC pen. 2ml/l usually gives around 400 depending on nutes of course. So once you give the 400 ppm nute then say later CAL MAG at 300 or you can do a mix and tweak it to your liking. The PPM isn't a thing where you need to give all in 1 feeding once it gets that over the space of 24-48hrs. Sry didn't follow question right. This is how you can get there.

Very strong growth so far. Couple of dark spots forming on the leaves, I have a feeling something in the water butt water is not helping the old girls so I'm going to clean it out tomorrow as we have lots of rain coming. Started bending the girls over a little (giggardy) This one has started flowering so I'm expecting to be busy over the next couple of weeks, wish me luck

Things are kicking off in tenty. Flowering is well under way and stretching is a go go. I'll be tying down nearly daily with this one as she is a grower. 🤟🤟

These girls are popping off now lemme teya! The cali snow is definitely the one growing the most. Very dark green leaves a lot of them with only 3 or 4 fingers but hoping that's just how they are. Given them a little deleafing today I'm going to leave them now for a week or two and let them stretch then deleaf again They're still thriving so I'm happy.

This cali snow is popping off. I feel I might have stuned her a little with some slightly hard-core "LST" I'm just hoping that she will bounce back and stretch another few CM. Wish me luck

The cali snow has stopped growing as far as I can tell so it's probably time to do a bit of defoliating and prep for bud swelling. I retied the branches to try to get some light into the middle. Seeya next time

This girl seems to have completely stopped growing which I suppose is good to allow for swelling but I'll be keeping an eye on her to make sure she's doing something lel she hasn't had the easiest ride

Not a bad week except a little bit of yellowing from the leaves that I'm trying to address with a little calmag if it doesn't change I'll be flushing and hoping she isn't completely fucked tehe.

Looking uglier and uglier haha I think I've overfed from the start I have tried flushing but with no results. Looks as though she is foxtailing pretty good now ill keep her going a little bit longer but I don't have much hope for quantity.

Are we looking at some intense foxtailing? She's not been the easiest girl and has never looked the prettiest but I'll see her through to the end 😶‍🌫️

Yeah, I think you might be right... but the only thing "wrong" with foxtailing are the looks - they still are loaded with cannabinoids and terpenes - they're just not going to produce "perfect" round, dense buds. There are a number of causes of this - and a number of things you can to help minimize the problem... but I'm wondering if you aren't close enough to harvest to really want to try any of these things... If you DO want to, a good article to read is this one from RQS... https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-to-spot-and-handle-cannabis-foxtails-n638 Good luck... I love your determination to stick with her through all kinds of trials and tribulations!

This girl has been a nightmare start to finish really and nothing that I done seemed to make a difference. To make things worse I found some seeds so I decided to chop her down. Luckily she had cloudy trichs so hopefully she'll make for good day smoke. Maybe edibles if there's too many seeds. Thanks for coming for the ride 😶‍🌫️
