Hello and welcome to u all.. Hope u are all well and having a good day.. 👍😁 Excellent start for the extremely pungent strain "Critical Strawberry Banana" from Emerald Triangle Seeds.. I have this clone from the original mother strain which i ran a few months ago and I'm also running her atm in my Mars900 diary in living soil.. I wanted to grow this CSB strain in hydroponics and see how she grows, which im confident she will do well, as long as I stay on track with her!.. 🤞😁 Huge thanks to u all for your support, comments, follows and likes.. Stay safe and best wishes for all your grows.. 😁👍 Links & Coupon codes :- www.viparspectra.com www.viparspectra.co.uk www.emeraldtriangleseeds.co.uk www.weedworld.co.uk www.greenbuzznutrients.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CHCFCG1?ref_=ast_sto_dp code: Itxsgdvip code :JEF https://www.viparspectra.com/?aff=454&utm_source=affiliate https://partners.viparspectra.com/create-account?ref=454

Hello and welcome to u all.. Hope u are all well and having a great day.. 👍😁 Excellent week for the "Critical Strawberry Banana" from Emerald Triangle Seeds under the Viparspectra XS4000 @100% power.. Have been a bit preoccupied this week and not been checking up on her as much as I'd like to! (when I checked today the pH was a bit acidic @5.3 so just added 3L of plain tap water to counterbalance and it went up to pH5.7, the res solution did this because she drank more water to food ratio and left a bit more concentrate(ppm went from 900 to 1000)HW solution which drops the pH value down, i think because the light is full blast🤣).. She's had a decent growth this week though and i think i will keep her on 14hrs light until either midweek or at the weekend, unsure yet tbh.. When I do change to true 12/12 i will add bloom based nutrition into the reservoir and a dose of bloom boost.. I trimmed out a small amount of lower branch.. Will be able to check in on her more this week as less busy atm.. 🤞😁 Huge thanks to u all for your support, comments, follows and likes..

Hello and welcome to u all.. Hope u are well and having a great day.. 👍😁 Excellent week for the "Critical Strawberry Banana" from Emerald Triangle Seeds under the Viparspectra XS4000 @100% power.. She's filling out lovely and im using a few Yo-Yo's to help her spread her canopy.. Flipped lights to true 12/12 now and started adding Bloom based feeding with a flowering booster (not pk yet).. Topping up the reservoir every 3-4days, whilst checking pH /ppm levels daily.. 👍😁 Huge thanks to u all for your support, comments, follows and likes..

Hello and welcome to u all.. Hope u are well and having a good day.. 👍😁 Excellent week for the Critical Strawberry Banana from Emerald Triangle Seeds.. This beautiful phenotype is a real stinky strain and a decent carbon filter is definitely recommended.. Ive been checking the ppm/pH daily and topping up the main reservoir every 2-3days now with 10L of premade pH buffered solution.. 👍😁 Huge thanks to u all for your support, comments, follows and likes..

Hello and welcome to u all.. Hope u are well and having a good day. 👍😁 Great week for the Critical Strawberry Banana from Emerald Triangle Seeds under the Viparspectra XS4000.. I only realised this weekend that id forgot to put the dehumidifier on.. She's a bit early in flower for me to worry and its turned on now and im really happy with how she's growing anyways.. Doing daily checks on ppm and pH and everything has been going well without any major adjustments (i mainly get a slight raise in pH each day, anything from 0.1-0.5 which if on 5.6 and goes .5 up it'll put her out of optimum range).. Started adding PK additives now and will slowly increase the dose each week.. Ive been taking a few fan leaves off here and there but nothing major, i also raised the led as shes had a good stretch this week but i doubt she will get too tall and she has practically filled the grow space perfectly now.. 👍😁 Huge thanks to u all for your support, comments, follows and likes..

Hello and welcome to u all.. Hope u are well and having a good day.. 👍😁 Great week for the Critical Strawberry Banana from Emerald Triangle Seeds under the Viparspectra XS4000 at full power.. I had a bit of a ppm spike this weekend as i had been a bit preoccupied and I got to her a day later than i wanted to.. She had just drank alot of water and left a higher concentration solution in main water tank, i added pH adjusted water and let her continue.. Everything looks ok with her apart from a very slight yellowing on a few leaves so i think we got away with it.. I will try my hardest to keep up with her as she is in hyper mode atm!.. Bud sites are everywhere and I will keep her on the lower end of feeding this week to allow any residue left in root zone to filter through into main tank and keep an eye on the ppm as I'll expect a slight raise again after 24hrs.. Will empty and refill res at end if week for fresh solutions.. Also this week i did very slight adjustments to the Yo-Yos to help open her out a bit more and also very light defoliation.. 👍😁 Huge thanks to u all for your support, comments, follows and likes..

Hola mate, ¿Qué tamaño de maceta de tierra sería el equivalente a tu tanque de 40l? Gracias!🖐️👨‍🌾
deFharo
deFharocommented3 years ago
@Jef79, Jejej, también tengo problemas con el peso de mis macetas, tengo el nervio ciático tocado, y yo diariamente muevo, cargo y traslado mis macetas buscando el sol o pesándolas, y acabo dolorido. probé durante unos meses con varios generadores caseros de CO2, hechos en botellas de coca cola con gelatina, levadura y azúcar, llegué a tener 3 botellas en una carpa de cultivo de 70x70x160cm, y un medidor de CO2, lo cierto es que apenas conseguí elevar los niveles de CO2, supongo que la extracción de aire, y el dudoso sellado de aquella carpa no ayudó, ni siquiera he querido publicar en mi diario de técnicas orgánicas este experimento con CO2, pero tal vez lo haga, tengo fotos de todo el proceso que seguí. Tengo en casa toneladas de luces, de todo tipo, al principio me involucré con la luz y mis mejores cosechas fueron en aquella época donde alumbraba una s0la planta con 200w o más, este año con la brutal subida de la luz eléctrica, intenté cultivar plantas con menos luces y el resultado me decepcionó un poco, ahora he reunido algunas de mis luces en un sólo armario, triplicando la intensidad con respecto a los cultivos de la temporada pasada, menos plantas, pero más gordas!! Actualmente estoy acabando un nuevo proceso de quelato de minerales con MM y nuevas enzimas que capturo de pasto fresco, es un proceso en 3 partes que me lleva como mínimo 2 meses, lo empezaré a publicar en cuanto pruebe los dos nuevos Bio preparados que deben estar listos a final de este mes, he fabricado mi propio CalMag con MMA y el otro es un bio fertilizante basado en silicio mineral con MMA, para dar fortaleza a toda la estructura de la planta, y además, otro que está actualmente "cocinándose" donde exclusivamente voy a tener P,K, S y MMA, una fórmula muy digestiva para ayudar a la formación de flores, así voy a continuar, creando Bio fertilizantes muy específicos que luego, si quiero, puedo mezclar para riego. Como siempre he manejado espacios reducidos, me acostumbre a las macetas de 7l, y estoy satisfecho, mi mejor cosecha fue en una de estas macetas, aunque las macetas grandes permiten hacer plantas más grandes. Efectivamente yo también quiero experimentar nuevas cepas, y tengo en casa semillas para cultivar años a mi ritmo, y estaba pensando en cultivar unas 10/12 variedades en macetas cuadradas de 5,5l que tengo por aquí, probablemente en la temporada de invierno me decida a hacerlo, de momento tengo que llenar mi saco de marihuana, porque se está vaciando 😎. Saludos compañero💪👨‍🌾

@deFharo,-i totally agree mate.. Intense lighting is best in cannabis cultivation for super dense flowers, with that though, you hit other problematic factors of temperature changes, humidity.. If you are adding co2 aswell the plants are able to actually feed a bit more in my experience.. I always look at grow setups in order of genetics - light - environment and feeding technique.. All play a major role in our beloved sacred plant.. When i see you making your MMA its like watching a chef make some world class diet for your girls.. Fresh ingredients is best for anything that is living.. Im not totally keen on my hydroponics feeds being sat on shelves for long periods before i purchase them, not to mention the synthetic materials used in some of them!.. Your plants always look beautiful buddy and giving them mountain water and minerals must make the final taste so smooth and rich of terps😍👍.. I also prefer smaller pots to be honest as i get chronic lower back pain for 20yrs now and lifting these 20L pots after watering is breaking me in half🤣.. Im expecting a few more testers over next few weeks and i think i will swap the 2 hydro tent(Sp6500 and Xs4000) for soil and most likely use 11L pots also mate.. I think from seed its better to try more variety and get the best pheno available.. Id get pretty upset if i ran 2 or 3 big pots and 1 came out a bit weak.. Id love to see/try your feeding program in a 10L homemade Brummie Bubbler system(diy dwc).. Do you think the micro organisms would be able to survive the environment for a week before a change of the reservoir.. I tryed organic feeding on my nft last year but had a few problems and I think it's to do with the spread matt that sits in the channels.. Im sure it was this that caused stagnation(?).. 😁👍🍀

@Jef79, gracias por la respuesta compañero, no me sorprende, porque para alojar la masa de raíces que muestran tus plantas en hydro se necesita mucha maceta!😜💪 Infelizmente, yo con mi espacio no puedo llegara a esos tamaños de maceta, la más grande que he usado una vez, es de 15l por lo general cultivo en macetas de 6 a 11l, pero quiero hacer, de la necesidad virtud, e intentar sacar el máximo rendimiento a mis modestos cultivos. En esta temporada de cultivos, estoy sólo con una carpa, tenía otras 3 desperdigadas por la casa, en la temporada anterior cultivé plantas sanas, pero con poca masa floral, debido a insuficiente intensidad de luz, ahora, en una sola carpa he juntado muchas luces, porque lo que si me ha quedado claro es que para obtener cogollos gordos y duros se necesita mucha luz! 🌞💡💡🚦 Saludos

You always used hesi? I've recently made the switch and my girls seam to be loving it. I use shogun silicone and Buddhas flower burst but every else is hesi. Any advice with hesi ie dosing and what to do and what not to do. Please kind sir

@Drgreen13,-ive only been using Hesi since i entered a contest on GD a while ago now.. I got a box for hydro off them and I really liked the root, enzyme, boost and supervit so carried on using them.. I get just as good results as ever and they cost alot less than other brand similar additives.. I get 2.5L of boost from ebay for about £28 inc. delivery.. I used Canna boost for years but it's a ridiculous price for what it is.. My pal swapped recently to Shoguns boost as is cheaper but its still alot more than HESi!.. I have a bottle of Shoguns silicon also and is a great product for when I need it.. I dont think theirs much difference in any of the feeds, additive out their as they all following the same basic scientific principles that is needed for growing cannabis at different stages of the process.. Over the years I had good results and bad results when trying different mixtures and swapping brand, sometimes it could be im not using it correctly or sometimes it just isn't what fits my feeding regimes, its all trial and error tbh mate.. No special tricks for my Hesi top ups and i put it in on every watering because I use it for hydroponics.. I just follow the instructions and it does the hard work for me!.. 😁👍🍀
