This past week was very eventful as a grower. I was seeing some deficiencies with all 4 girls due to the fact that I should of given these girls another dry amendment feeding the end of week 2 start of week 3 of flower to carry the plants through harvest. However this feeding was missed and the fan leaves were fading way too soon and was worried the buds wouldn’t have the food to properly develop. To fix this I used a dry amendment feeding of the Down to Earth 4-8-4 Rose and Flower at a half rate. (I used DTE because it breaks down into usable food faster then Gia Green) I then brewed a compost tea of over ripened banana peels, earthworm castings, blackstrap molasses, and roots organics 0-12-0 seabird guano for 36 hours and fed each plant around a 1/2 gallon a piece of the tea. To say the results were great would be an understatement, all of the girls loved this feeding and responded exactly the way I hoped. Bud development this last week has been fantastic and each plant has developed rock hard buds all with a very unique “sweet’ smell. All these girls are back on track for harvest in 10-14 days so from here on out they will be fed water pH’d to 6.5.
@S7AUGHTERHOUSEV, feel free to post it the grow diary. If those are the clones you were growing at week 2 I would wait until the plant is at least 3 weeks old before taking leaves down. My Square1/Robinhood grow are on week 5 and I haven’t removed a single leaf from any of them. Those big leaves are powerhouses for vegging plants, just soaking up light.
@KAPT_SAVE_Da_HOE, This is my first Mephisto grow so I’m really looking forward to seeing how they turn out. Their stuff has a lot of positive reviews so hoping for the best.
