Hello growers!
About to enter flowering auto-pilot mode!
Today did the last final changes. Finished the lollipopping, gave her a two day flush, I could tell right away that both plants enjoyed, and hiked up the dosage of nutrients to the flowering feeding chart.
Took from the feeding: Diamond Nectar (fulvic acid) and Mineral Magic (silica).
Had to move around the structure of the set up, the lights were very close to the canopy (12cm) and now its around (25cm) which is still too close. Spider Farmer and other growers recomended 30cm distance during flower, which I agree because of possible fox tailing.
Malawi Gold is doing really well, she is adapting nicely to the flowering stage, the LST and lollipopping. She is streching quite a bit and coming up with plenty of pistils. She doesn't resent anymore the nutrients.
Brazil Amazonia is also doing well as always, she produces a lot of foliage, really a lot, she is a very bushy plant. I took away plenty of lower fan leaves and also some weak future bud sites that would never cross above the net. She is producing pistils, not as many as Malawi Gold, and regarding strech she is becoming still, which the breeder refers about this in their website.
From now on, I will just let her grow, feeding her nutrients alternating with clean PH balanced water. When time comes for the final part, I'll flush her again, but that is a month from now.
Thanks for those who are keeping up with this diary.
Take care :)
You probably already know, but the Velokelp has some silica in it already (mono silicic acid). Not a big deal, but interesting that they have in the kelp product.
Good luck on your diary. I will follow along.
@@SanchoPanza, According to the remo nutrient website, velokelp does have some mono silicic acid (.06%). https://www.remonutrients.com/product/velokelp/
Maybe the website is wrong. They change formulas from time to time.
@Oozle, hey my friend! Thank you for checking out my grow! The velokelp I have is the ready to use foliar spray 1 -1 -1 (a sample that my grandmother gave for easter). It doesn't have silica, in fact it has 0.6% Ammoniacal Nitrogen / 0.4% Nitrate Nitrogen / 0.79% Humic Acid / 1.3% Kelp Extract and 0.9% Kelp extract derived from Ascophyllum Nodosum.
