Apr 27: still looking good, but she likely needs to be further thinned. I’ll wait a bit longer as I want to try cloning but the timing is not quite right yet. Soon.
Also I’ve decided that this plant will go in one of the 70 L garbage cans that usually have a big tomato plant. Currently in a 5 gallon bag due to size limits in tent but I’m sure that will be too small for this 16 cola plant.
Apr 28: took 15 cuttings. She was too bushy anyway.
Apr 29: Foliar Friday but I didn’t do it until 6 pm instead in morning. Foliar of Extreme Blend at 1/4 tsp per L and FPJ at 1 mL/L with a few drops of Dr Bronners as a surfactant. Remainder watered in.
May 1: added a small bit of Borax again to address B deficiency.
May 3: yellowing new leaves means I overdid it with the Borax. Oops, but should be okay as Hash Bud is the only one complaining. She’ll get over it.
@NorthernChemist, yeah, and I’ve stumbled upon this great way to do the staking. Starting poles are at close to 45 degrees rather than vertical and it makes all the difference. Bamboo cross pieces are easily friction fit and not really carrying a load. Seems stable with the peony ring still in place and seems to work.
@NorthernChemist, yeah I like it. Seems like the best way to handle photoperiods both indoors and out. This was a 16 cola attempt, and the later start photoperiods I will keep to 8 colas. This certainly maximizes cloning opportunities.
@MiyaguiOkPolilla; you’re welcome.. Yes, sodium, and going a step further it’s actually the ratio of sodium to Cal-mag (sodium adsorption ratio, SAR). My well water has super high SAR which is very bad for the soil.
@Northern_Ent, oh, muchas gracias por esa info. Nunca me he fijado realmente en los niveles de sodio, pero me imagino lo malo que puede llegar a serlo tanto como para nosotros 🍀🍀🍀
@JohnnyBarrel, yeah it’s looking great. Bubble OG is actually the biggest of the three big manifolds, followed by Candyland and then this one. This is a God Bud cross so it should be good. Cheers.
