Not a huge update. Learning so much from my other grow, that I'm going to go with only water for the first 2 weeks, maybe a splash of rooting powder...but mainly just keep it ph'd and bland. Testing out my 1.75 gal LST pot design. Hoping that allows for nice open LST space. We shall see. ✌️🌱
Edit: I think I'm going to run these 2 with strictly organic nutes/ferts: FPJ / Castings / Guano / Teas. See how it compares to the FoxFarm run.
This being my second ever auto run: some serious things have been learned and cataloged. These ladies are being shielded from that LED onslaught, and they are only getting ph'd water and a splash of root hormone. Going to stick with ph'd water this week, and slowly start adding my Guano/EWC tea. Staying organic on this grow, home made / DIY nutrients. Using compost/guano/ewc tea / Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ) for Veg. Working out my nutrient stack for flower. Probably banana tea, and some fish mixture. We'll cross that bridge in a few weeks. Hope everyone is having / had a great week. ✌️🌱 #stompergang
I am loving the movement on these ladies. Gave them a topping, and they responded really well. Keeping their pH dead center @ 6.5 and slowly introducing some nice organic nutes. Made some bamboo and water cress FPJ; treating like any other concentrated nutrient. Introducing them slowly. Still keeping the water light. I removed the cabana's on monday. Watching to keep light burn away. Saw some curling on the leaf edges this morning so I decided to relocate them to a much lower power LED area until I can finish training them, and they harden.
Probably give her some LST this week/weekend; pumped to try out my new container design. Loads of tie downs. Hoping to get ~6 controlled cobs on this grow. I really pushed the limits of stress and training with my first run of auto's, gonna dial this round back and let them fill in the areas I'd like slowly.
Hope everyone had an awesome week of growing. ✌️🌱 #stompergang
The jumping spiders name is Brando...he's a male Bold, and the bug bouncer in that cabinet. ZERO intruders. Good job Brando.
This week was quite epic for the ladies. They got a nice new cabinet with lights and environment dialed just for veg.
-Built a nice Veg/Dry cabinet from scrap. Pretty damn happy with myself...not gonna lie. 😅
I decided to just dive right in with some solid plant shaping. Still pushing slower than my previous run...but these 2 can take some serious LST with a good nutrient load. Impressive how fast they look back to that light.
So far the organic run is performing better; how ever I didn't scorch the tits off these girls with a massive LED hammer when they were 14 minutes old either, so there's that. 😂😶 I'll have a true comparison of Organic Home Brew Ferts v Store Bought Ferts with the same strain here this winter...get actual data.
Also: CannaBudget Studios was built with an old broken tri-pod / usb strip lights / old black sheet...and electrical tape. Yeeee.
Time to go work on the farm. Hope everyone had a great week and the ladies are healthy. ✌️🌱
What a week to see the difference in those genes eh?! Incredible growth on both, in their own unique and beautiful ways.
They seem to have loved the time in the newer low power veg cabinet, I moved them back into the flowering tent on d35. Responded well. I'm starting ween the Sour Stomper off Veg nutes with a slight N bridge, dialed back the concentration this morning. I'll introduce the banana tea the next watering. The Creme de la Chem is still in full veg mode, so I've kept her nutes nice and strong in that mode. We'll watch her this next week to start dialing back the veg nutes and move into some bloom baby.
Other than that a pretty standard week, really enjoying watching these ladies on some home brew organic nutes.
Hope everyone had a great week! ✌️🌱
Great week! You can really see those genes now. 😅 Sour Stomper broke my PLA+ LST bend. 😳 #stompergang
The ladies are loving the organic nutes, they got watered right after the photoshoot. Really happy with the growth so far. Gonna let the CDLC bush out for another day before I start some heavy defol. Both are showing beautiful bud site set ups. Stoked. Probably remove wires this weekend. Pretty happy with both canopies.
Hope everyone had a great week! Back to work for me.
Was a very interesting week. Had a friend watch and water for me and all the ladies had a bit too much to drink. Nothing too bad, just letting them recover this week before I remove wires and do some defoliation. Other than that, they're looking healthy. Bud sites are developing nicely. Pretty happy with this organic run so far. I'll dial the nutrient % back up by the weekend after the involuntary flushing. 😅 Shit happens, and could've been way worse. No more babysitters without cannabis experience. Live and learn.
Hope everyone had a great week! Back to the farm... ✌️🌱 #stompergang
Looking good man keep up the great work can’t wait to see the difference between the organic vs the bottle nutes I’ve been thinking about going organic myself would u recommend it? Can’t wait to see the harvest
@Allprofit13, so far I'm loving the organic nutes. I'm just making my own FPJ with bamboo shoots from my garden. I tried buying some water cress, but the ladies seemed to enjoy the grass+ FPJ. I've been adding some compost (old lawn clippings, soil, earth worm castings, fresh bat guano) to the tea as well. So far so good! They're going back into the strong LED tent this week, so we shall soon see. So far my home made nutes have saved me about $15. Take that over the whole grow and it'll prob be closer to $60 less by the end, and I'm learning more about what these ladies actually crave. I'd definitely give it a try. Making nutrient teas from kitchen / garden scrap makes a TON of sense, and is tangibly saving me $. 😁
