Super Lemon Haze.2 - Test Grow #5

Saturday, 09-07-2022 Repotted to final 6 gallon pot midweek. Also made ring of DE when repotting as insect block. Got good rain day after repotting. Supplemented feed with EMAS midweek and Recharge yesterday. One of the first pair of leaves deformed. Growth steady. Actual CAB NPK EC 2.1. I am trying to use the low feed rate EC of CAB and make sure added supplements don't exceed normal feed EC.

Saturday, 16-07-2022 Plant looking OK. Supplemented feed and foliar sprayed with Cytokin. These first leaves are more rounded than Super Lemon Haze - Test Grow # 4 was at the same stage. It looks just like its neighbour that was germinated at the same time, The Church - Test Grow #6.

Sunday, 24-07-2022 Planting looking OK. Removed nodes 1 and 2 Friday and topped yesterday. Replaced feed yesterday with 2.5 EC Beneficial Boost Blend i.e. 15 ml Molasses, 50 ml EMAS, 5 ml Recharge, ~3 ml CAB, 1.25 ml pH Down S per gallon. Significant aphid presence on undersides leaves.

Saturday, 30-07-2022 I think it's reasonable to pull out a cliche. Super Lemon Haze.2 - Test Grow #5 and The Church - Test Grow #6 have experienced explosive growth this past week. I LST'd the stems early in the week as they were too small to be properly handled on the weekend. Today they have grown out several inches towards the sides of the pots and have their own nodes developing. I thought the more sativa SLH would be bigger than indica leaning the Church but since germination the opposite has been true. I am anticipating that the the SLH will overtake the Church later but will be interesting to watch. Fed today and supplemented with Recharge. First feed since last week as there was significant rain all week. Did not not need to water as soil was still well saturated but I wanted to put some chemistry in the pots. Really need to let them dry out now. Lord Thank You for Your Blessings. Likes its neighbours, the week long rain has caused the LST'd stems to stretch. I had the ideal situation where I just put the ingredients in the pot with my Beneficial Booster in the morning and the rain came to help the biology cook a wonderful, nourishing meal for the plants all week long. Trimmed the alternate lower nodes and leaves. Daylight fell below 13 hours this week and this grow will probably complete with declining daylight hours which will be interesting for me to see the comparison (genetics aside) between the grows I have had when hours were increasing. Daylight today was 12h57m20s.

Sunday, 07-08-2022 Plant looking OK. LST'd stems almost fully over pot edge and nodes on the stems developing well. Plant is still lagging behind The Church - Test Grow #6. All plants currently growing seem smaller when I compare the pics to my previous grows at the same age. Only one feed this this past week as I allowed the pots to dry out from the rain in the previous week. Supplemented feed yesterday with my Beneficial Booster. I made a mistake when preparing and put in double the amount of molasses but the plants seem to be tolerating it so far this morning.

Sunday, 14-08-2022 Plant continuing to look good and is in flower. Secondary stems from mainlines so tall I decided, in the moment and not planned at all, to tied them down yesterday. I realize this is not fully in line with quadlining but I went for it. Supplemented feed today with my Beneficial Booster. Foliar sprayed the last two nights with The Amazing Doctor Zymes Eliminator for IPM. Except for testing before use, I followed instructions exactly and have noticed no phytotoxicity. Will report on effectiveness next week after completing initial 3 day treatment tonight.

Sunday, 21-08-2022 Plant almost at final structure. Still smaller than The Church - Test Grow #6. Bud sites developing. Significant rain this week so I was only able to do one midweek feeding. Did foliar spray with Cytokin. Totally messed up and overdosed 4X, should have done less than 2 ml/liter but used the one gallon dose of 7.5 ml 😞. Thankfully, I have seen no obvious signs of phytotoxicity but I will need to remember this overdose of hormones and keep watch for any negative consequences. The Amazing Doctor Zymes Eliminator treatment last week seemed to have reduced the aphids to near zero. It's expensive but if it continues to work it will be a valued part of my IPM. Noticed minor tip burning of substantial number of leaves after third consecutive treatment with The Amazing Doctor Zymes Eliminator but that coincided with the immediate area around the pots being cut with a whipper that definitely did minor damage from flying debris so I am not sure what the actual cause was. Repeated treatment yesterday and will attempt to maintain the weekly preventive schedule.

Sunday, 28-08-2022 Stretching up and out and looking good. Top-dressed midweek with 60 ml Humic Acid flakes. Foliar sprayed yesterday with The Amazing Doctor Zymes Eliminator(TADZE). Plants continue to seem pest free since starting to use TADZE. Only one midweek feed due to pots being saturated with rain on previous weekend. Supplemented feed today with Beneficial Booster comprised of 50 ml molasses, 125 ml EMAS and 15+ ml~ Recharge in 12 litres stored rain water with the molasses diluted in 950 ml filtered tap water, rain water EC=0~, final EC 1.7.

Sunday, 04-09-2022 Plant getting even more snowy, putting on height and weight. The smell of it and the other SLH currently growing is unlike any marijuana I have ever encountered. For comparison, The Church smells like 'regular' ganja in bloom. This is something different. I don't have much experience with fresh lemons to say its lemony but its a sharp, 'citrusish' odour. As I suspected this SLH has caught up with the Church in height but not body as yet. Did not get to feed during the week as there was significant rain. Fed today with CAB and runoff rain water. Noticed some mite damage and presence of aphids on some leaves. Is TADZE failing already or did I use it too cold last week?

Sunday, September 11, 2022 Generative Period One 1.6~ EC+, started yesterday with Beneficial Booster + CAB Part B only. No midweek feed due to rain early in the week and generally overcast sky. Plant stalled in vertical growth but buds and trichomes developing nicely.

Not much to say, just growing. To paraphrase a fellow grower, "a boring week is usually a good one since nothing went awry. ;)" Only one midweek feed. Fed today despite rain yesterday. https://youtu.be/LljveDCuGaw

Sunday, 25-09-2022 Tropical Storm Ian in the vicinity. Thankfully not much rain or wind so far. One midweek feed. Pots will need a while to dry out from all this rain. Hopefully no insect or mould/mildew damage.
