June 20th
- last week of Veg
- dinner tonight will include watering to run-off
- tremendous growth is happening and tiny Hairs have started to appear at Bud sites.
- 2 weeks of 14/10 lighting have been used, and after this week its a switch to 12/12, officially flowering
- working the plant into the front right corner; a/c goes in the back left
21st
- fed 3 gallons of dinner. Not one drop came out of the bottom lol. And I realized it would take a mini Flush to “break through”. An additional 5 gallons of water was pH’d to 6.5 and methodically fed through the new HP bag. The effluent that finally dribbled out was a Solid 5.0… so glad I acted on flushing. At the end of 8 gallons the substrate run-off was 5.8, and thats all I had in me. Next meal ( in a week ) will have a elevated pH to help shift the soils pH closer to 6.4.
Too bad the water did not go in first !! That’ll be a few % off the final yield doh, flushing dinner away at a crucial time. Healthy pH, carry-on
- sharing some space with a week 5 AutoFlower Zamaldelica… in the corner
23rd
- dropped the lighting to 13/11
- 12/12 in 3 days, Officially flower mode
24th
- grow seems to be Aggressive and Vibrant at the same time
- 3 weeks of reduced lighting comes to an end the 26th. Then we are in Flower
26th
- soil amended last nite with Gaia Green Power Bloom Fert, Azomite and Kelp Meal + (dried Fan Leaves) aheadnof its next Meal. Scratched into the top 2” of HP substrate. Soil is Moist still, dinner is a day or two away yet. Pot weight will dictate when that meal happens. The previous meal was a Biggie, soil has gotta become Dry to a larger degree ahead any next feeding… gotta start a smart/aggressive schedule with Patience right up front
- a 3 week transition into Flower ENDS TONIGHT. Timer will be re-set to 12/12 and we are there.
-OK people, zero stretch has been achieved. Normal growth is everywhere ! Vibrant, and piling-on top of everything else.
- FLOWER; tomorrow morning
- real camera pics tonight, last day of Veg. Its Fair to say its Day 91 for the Plant, above ground
- lite is set for 12/12, transition complete
@1Right_Angle, I feel like we trouble-shot it fairly well I think you got it balanced out good with the tweaks you made. Now the sky is truly the limit for this lady, Again I will say it. " Here sir, Is the new honor & record of healthiest most lush green plant I have EVER seen " Hands over imaginary award ! 😁
Holy crap. This thing is gettin jiggy with it real quick. I CANNOT get over the leafs on this plant, Gotta be the most lush green I have ever seen period.
@1Right_Angle, from horticultural stand point no .if your trichs are ripe your good as your genetics is .if your worried about loosing terps lower day temp with light on .if you want go ahead but i would never do that
@Candog, does that make any sense to you. I’m glad LMF stepped-up and verified some actions.
I’m Not grumpy just asking if it makes any sense. It’s all about Forward.
Cheers Bro
@1Right_Angle, That is something to be proud of for sure. You should get a good quarter pound dry or just over maybe even. Let the dry happen as slow as possible. That little of plant matter, I wouldn't even put a dehu in there. Even on the dry I just did, Looking back I would not even use a dehu on that amount of weed and it would have happened even better. My experience scope is doing this in 8x40 sea cans literally jam packed with plants so the dehu was a must. But I am still figuring out lower plant counts & less plant matter exactly when you need that dehu in there as support to make sure nothing catches mold. But I feel the amount I just pulled down, You would NOT need a dehu on it. So that means so far up to around 12LB wet, No dehu.
@LegacyMarketFarm, Thanks, it was great to have ya tagging along. Amber is throughout, buds are super solid, and there are two much bigger room-mates arriving today/tomorrow. Week 11 of a 6 month grow... It had to start somewhere... Cheers
@amazongrow, the first attempt last winter sealed the pursuit. Ha. Simplicity rocks and this classic hit the spot. This batch had a run-in with a big skunk. Hope it takes a couple weeks to Air out
@CapnDankestein, I hope you have some Fun taking this Lady outside. And thats where she needs to be.
Growing this strain gave me a definite Victory in growing a strong Famous strain. And also left me feeling a little deflated, because the bud tasted of Grape when smoking it…
I do not ever remember there being a Grape taste in Colombian Gold.
I wrote to them asking for some
Clarification; Green House Seeds and they never bothered to respond.
So, I’ll never add another seed to my Collection of this Colombian Gold. I have 1 seed left, and it will be grown outside next Summer.
Its a great weed for a nice Sativa High, you can tell its got a good set of genetics inside… it has just gotten too far from the original host…
Gonna be super excited to see the final yield per plant you got a real good harvest & they are looking great already. I can smell them oozing through the screen
