July 10th
- 1st day of week 3 flower
- fed last nite; 2.5L. meal was Food2. Next meal is from the Water cycle
- removed some of the nuisance leaves from the middle of the plant, exposing developing buds. See pic 3
** reminder that there was an excursion back in week 5 when the soil released a real wave of acid at the roots. I did Re-Transplant Zamaldelica auto. Its probably / easily a couple weeks behind schedule **
July 13th,
- buds are actually gaining some mass and have created a Mind-bending smell. “congo-ish” is all i can muster right now. But its a New smell
15th
- no dinner tonight, need it a bit drier
- No schwazzing for this guy. Low light-power, (10-12%)has not seen Zamaldelica fill the branches with leaves. Reduced output from the light has probably had a bit to do with Not a full canopy developing. I am Happy to see, solid nuggets forming though
16th
- dinner tonight 100%
- last day of week 8
@LegacyMarketFarm, Thanks for that clarification. It makes complete sense on the “Less Material” removed angle… and a “quicker recovery” !
How civil
Thanks Andrew
@1Right_Angle,Topping is the removal of that whole top node under the crown. F.I.M is named as kind of a joke reference to that. like I went to top my plant but F*ck I missed. By removal of the crown growth we acomplish the same goal as topping with less plant matter being removed & allowing them to recover more quickly.
I might actually try this training next time I F.I.M the autos in the next series, Imagine doing a sea of green, F.I.M once early then spread the two new apex growth locations out like this it could be a really quick way to create big yielding plants.
@1Right_Angle, I think it is also a great joint effort of 2 people sharing information and improving upon it which is what this whole cannabis community should be like. We could learn so much more about this plant and how best to grow it together.
@CombatCat, Best Wishes on that project. And it truly sounds like a great pairing, with Durban P being a Highlight strain already. My mouth is watering on this one. Zamaldelica, A smell I have not ever experienced before. Within 3 weeks this one will be close to Ripeness. Thanks for stopping in.
Great job & great post crop review. This is how we continue to evolve our game every round, A true grower in every sense of the word. Class act my friend
@1Right_Angle, Just the beginning my friend. You got all the facets of someone who will continue to better his product each and every round. Your outdoor skills are just crazy and indoor are expanding each and every round with noticeable improvements every time. Legacy Market Farm East will always open for you to fill the position if you should ever decide.
Almost the end of December 2023 and I’m sticking the other Auto Zamaldelica in a Glass of water…
She will be working with a Tzar Bomba auto while a few Heirloom photo-periods finish-off a long run.
Only curious bit of hard-science is that the lite cycle sucks for them; 10.5hrs of light. Theres Lots of it, just not long periods of it
