July 3rd
- first day of 2nd week in flower
- last fed on 29th (3gal = 2.5L run-off)
- Water is the next meal in the cycle: nutes - nutes - water. Planned meal Posted above ~ 600ppm nice break for the plant, water portion of the cycle feeds the Roots and new bud development
- soil must also be ready, pot lifting is first action tonight..
- trying to find the right volume of dinner that will produce the desired run-off, without being wasteful. 3.5G was too much last time, re run-off volume. but there was no run-off until 2.75L of the 3G dinner had been added… which is kinda funny. I watered slowly as well, so the next meal will 3G. See what kind of run-off we get, if any
July 5
- hoping that Colombo needs a meal tonight; day 7 since last one. She looks strong and there is development daily as she swallows up the Scrog
- meal posted above
- adding some Worm Castings to the substrate tonight; 1-2”
July 7th
- switched lights out as the ts-1000 is a great lite, but at 10% power the light source is not big enough for a 4’x4’.
- Phlizon 4500 has been re-hung and we have much more lite in the tent, a 1.5c delta between room and canopy temp and its running nicely at 11%. There is a huge difference in the amount of light available to the plants…
July 9
- dinner tonight 100%
- last day week 2 of Flower
@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
