Another week down and the good watering advice I received from everyone on my other grow diary seems to have worked a charm! So thank you :)
My CBD CM has exploded outwards and the CD-1 looks like she is starting to thicken up already. I haven't moved the light up yet, they both seem to be liking the current distance of 10" (25cm).
I misread the product info sheet for the BioBizz Top-Max and Bio-Bloom so that resulted them in getting 1ml per 1L of each a week earlier than they should have. Can't say it appears to have done them any harm, if anything it appears as though it has given them a bit of a boost. I've also adjusted my little desk fans today to make my lovely ladies dance a little more :)
So far so good - only week three though. I'm am confident (perhaps foolishly?) that I should be able to handle any curve balls thrown my way with the help of the community here and the great online resources that have made this project possible. Kudos to growdiaries.com and also to growweedeasy.com that gave me enough good info to get cracking!
Happy growing :)
Thanks for the heads up @Jaindoh. I'm guessing that is where defoliation and LST comes in? I may have to do some more reading about how to keep the her from becoming budzilla. Do you have any suggestions on where to start? :)
"EDIT: After doing a total deep dive, I'm confident it is a calcium deficiency and not septoria - phew! From what I've read, this is a common problem when using BioBizz nutrients and rainwater. "
I think you are right. My girl with the same rainwater, the same nutrients and the same problem. I tried to solve it mixing rainwater with restful tap water (without chlorine). For the moment the problem seems to be stopped.
@Jeanpol Thanks for sharing your experience. I think BioBizz nutrients have been great for my grow but it seems to be a common problem. Unfortunately we don't have access to tap water here. Next time I'll be prepared for it though! Your autoflower is charging along! Doesn't look too far out from harvest now. Good luck :)
Thank you @BeefWellingtons ! I've been reading like a mad woman for the past hour and apparently it's a common issue with the BioBizz nutrients if you're using filtered rain water, which I am :)
@hufflepuff, i was surprised too, did not really believe in the CBD-Stuff. but the CD-! keeps what it promises. i could reduce my painkillers and have most tme a nice slepp wihout beeing stoned
Thanks @bobo420 - the advice from the community here (including you!) got me to the finish line. BTW I'm loving that deep purple colour your dark devil is. Can't wait to see how she turns out :)
@hufflepuff,Bro Red Vs Blue was/is awesome and I was a huge Halo player from Halo 1 to Halo ODST but after that one I stop to play other games but Call of duty. But I still got love for my Master Chief and the fun he gave me. The blue dream is a really good strain , I recommend it but I need to take a revenge on that yield but every time I play after a blue dream blunt I'm focus as hell ๐๐ช. And btw , your buds are gorgeous๐
@OutForRealbeanCarib started out as the nearest thing I had on hand at the time to use for scale in my photos. Although I am both a big Halo & Red vs Blue fan. Master Chief or Sarge, either way, pretty chuffed to have such a prestigious overseer for my grow! Also planning on growing an auto Blue Dream strain next. I hope it gives me the razor sharp video gaming focus it did for you ๐
@Tonino Thanks for the vote of confidence! Hopefully it's not misguided ;)
She's gonna give me some new grey hairs before we're through with each other I think :P
@bobo420 Thanks! They're getting plenty of love and attention being my first time ;)
I'm keeping an eye on your current outdoor grow too. <3 those serious sixes. Southern hemisphere is coming in to Spring so I hope I can sneak a couple in to the garden here too :)
@Tonino oh that's great! I was worried I'd have to turf them and start with new pots. Just vinegar though right? No soap? I'd imagine the soap residue would leach out in to my next grow :|
@hufflepuff,well I can blame my VCDC for there attitude I made a rookie mistake and it took me some time to notice what happen but I would grow her again .Have a great grow my friend
@Tonino so far so good! I keep expecting to run in to problems, maybe they're saving it all for me during their flowering stage, you know, when they're teenagers. Hopefully they don't give me as much attitude as your VCDC's gave you ;)
Thanks for the advice @Fibro_Witch ! It might be too slow to absorb in my case. I'll definitely be adding it earlier for my next grow now that I know. Congrats again on your harvest :)
@Tonino Thanks for asking and not using the phrase "but bacon!" in your question ;)
For me personally, it's a matter of ethics. I prefer to do all things with as little impact on other living sentient beings as possible. If animals don't have to die to fertilise my grow then that makes me a happy hufflepuff - hence why I can live with the eggshell. My chickens are happy and don't have to die to produce them :)
@Tonino dude, don't be! I'm a total novice and even I found it easy after reading the section on cloning on growweedeasy.com. I even made an "accidental clone" while defoliating my CD-1. Popped it in a cube kept it warm and moist for a couple weeks and now it's in the garden starting to turn in to it's own little tree :)
