I’m having some trouble getting things to download without error from my cloud storage. So limited photos are a available of the early part of this grow. The original diary existed on Seedsman’s discord server.
Thunderfuck was germinated and sprouted with 3 other seeds that all were growing much better than thunderfuck at this time. She almost seemed stunted in comparison
I’ve decided to raise the lights on this one plant. She isn’t spacing out between nodes like she should. Hopefully I can force her to stretch for a
minute.
This thing is stretching crazy. I super cropped everything early this week. Would rather them recover now than later in flower. I laid down the top 12-14” of growth.
We have explosive bud growth on several plants and toasted tips that is often seen in early flower K-lacking. Hopefully the bloom booster will take care of it.
Determined late this week that the toasted tips are likely nute-lockout, not K-lacking as some plants are clawing and showing multiple deficiencies like calcium, and magnesium. It may be that my home built soil had enough P-K in the form of langbeinite, azomite, steamed bone meal sea bird guano and that it did not need a bloom booster. We’ll just water it for a couple if weeks to deplete some of its stores before we five it more bloom nutes.
She seems to have stabilized after losing some foliage to nute burn. Still not adding PK nutes as we added them the 1st half of flower and our soil was already pre-loaded with organic PK
Checked her trichomes under the microscope and saw all milky, few few clear, a few amber. Discovered a localized spider mite infestation on her lowest branches in the rear. First treated just the foliage with spinosad, had to keep it off the bud and that was just a pain. Got some Dr. Zymes to make a foliar spray. I used 1oz per quart. Wet those leaves and buds down well and the surrounding ones were absolutely drenched too. The rest of the plant got a good spray as well. Will watch her closely and retreat as needed. Went back 2 days later and removed the affected leaves to inspect them closely. Found a couple of living ones and treated again with Dr. Zymes. We are in the final 2 weeks, so I am hoping I can keep this thing under control and then I’ll pryrethrin bomb the entire grow room between this grow and the next one.
She was a little finicky, showed some nute sensitivity that the other didn’t. She was also more sensitive to VPD variances. She was the most fragile of the 5 in that grow. Also of the 5, she was the only one who the spider mites found palatable. I’d inadvertently brought them in on my clothes from being outdoors tending my porch rail flower boxes. But she was the only one they had a visible feast on. I’d defoliated after that and it made the trimming rather easy.
