Ending Week 3. The budlets are well formed.
I'm now switching over to bloom nutes.
I'm going to be using Alaskan Fish Morbloom 0-10-10 and Dr Earth Pot of Gold 1-1-1 All Purpose Organic Plant Food
The Dr Earth is to give just enough Nitrogen and contribute PK to the Morbloom nutes.
I took 1 gal water ppm 200. Emptied 4 cups of water from it. Then mixed 1 gal of the Dr Earth. There's 16 cups per gal and instructions say 2 cups for small plant and 4 cups for large plant.
So 1 gal will provide 4 cups for 4 plants in my grow tent.
Then added 15ml of Morbloom. The pH was 3.14. I had to add roughly 1 tsp of Potassium Bicarbonate to get it back up to 6.5pH
Ppm was 1500 so it was perfect.
This is where alot of people kill their plants using fertilizer. They don't tell you in the instructions to correct the pH and people end up killing their plants.
@Adamlovesgreen_98,
Thank you. I've never tried this strain so it'll be fun to try out. Next grow im going to challenge myself more. I got seeds from Khalifa Genetics a Philippines landrace Filipino Kibungan. It's a fast growing Sativa that's supposed to be a little psychedelic and taste like mangos and pineapple. But supposed to behard to grow indoors and there's hardly any info online about them.
Beautiful ladies. Question, are you glad you went with the tomato cages? I am running airpots (not my first grow), but I'm wanting to use tomato cages too. Thought I'd ask how you're doing with it. I like the support versus a scrog net.
@@StinkyBudz,
Its my 3rd grow using tomato cages. I'm going to keep using them. I ended up cutting 9" off the legs so the first ring sits a couple inches above the soil top. So it easier to LST them when they are smaller. Also is good to tie them using pipe cleaners or string to the cage for support, spacing and allowing light penetration. I basically pinch off the inside fan leaves as it gets taller. Only inner ones I leave on are usually the top 3 nodes of the colas. I also rotate the pots 1/3 turn every 3 to 4 days so the plants get even lighting.
But yeah I thought about trying a net. Bought one. Didn't like it. If I ever use one I'd have to make a nice PVC one with tight drawn strings. Alot of people use 2 to hold up heavy colas.
I'm using bamboo stakes on the Blueberry Cheesecake colas cause it grew 35 inches above the tomato cages and got top heavy.
I even have 4 DWC buckets where I cut off tge tomato cage legs bent them and zip tied them to the net pot bucket lid tops so it's easier to open and slide the lid when checking ph etc. But I really like organic soil cause the smoke is smooth and the taste and smell is way better.
Good luck in your grow adventures!
