She has produced some beautiful smelling and tasting buds. They are so strong pineapple tasting too. The buds are not the tightest and now dried , she lost a lot of size. i am happy with the final 6.2oz(174.4g) from them both considering starvation time. nice head stone and relaxing
brilliany concept and did a great job until i went way over their time for feeding. i had this girl in veg for nearly 3 months and exhausted all of the grow caps nutes i understandably. Would def use them again for their proper time and did find it used a hell of a lot less water. win-win. great product , great strain
having starved this girl of all of her grow caps nutes with a 3 month Veg ( unplanned) , she nearly died off and went totally yellow for weeks. I then decided i could not let her die and resorted to using nutes on top of original caps. She ended brilliantly and smells amazing. She was an easy girl to work with and took to manifold well. i should have kept her tied down to get better light penetration but lessons learned.
nice one. Thought that the nature of coco being so areated would not hold water long enouhh for the caps(being a gel) to soak up enough. Will be following you mate. Soil is so not my thing. Too heavy handed. Lol
I hear you there missflowerpower. Coco is a great first step to hydro from soil too. u could easily do a single 20ltr coco alongside with a basic coco mix nute. I struggle with soil due to being so heavy handed with the water. especially with the caps holding an amount too. I drowned the poor pineapple and now only have a bud site right on top of a metre high stalk "grumpy" . Am Hopi g my dwcr finally takes off now so I know I haven't thrown my money away. Lol. fingers crossed.
@Ganjagrandaddy, was tempted by hydro grow but it's daunting lol , defo ol fashion soil for me , n these grow caps are a life saver too coz I'm useless with all the measuring or nutes n it can get overwhelming
i have used the orgonite previously larimar. it is made from resin. plan to remove the slate once established. hoping it may avoid "pests" until roots dug in well. wilk use milk foliar afterwards. thanks for the heads up though and am making a Mylar potbase cover soon as rdwc grow gets off ( this week) so should reflect all heat away from pots etc..heat was a pain in uk last few weeks. thankfully last crop was coco so only had to wrestle with foliage and foxtails occasionally. been in the 30°s here so killing our hobby atm. thankyou for your comments. happy farming friend
I am very impressed with how green and healthy the Buddha looks even following the topping. she bounced back next day with more growth . so far , i would use them again. i hope they cope with the whole period to flush. will stick to the planned action of just watering , whatever rhe outcome, but fingers crossed
@Puffer_Bill, Thank you Bill. I am more than thankful with her. She was bu far my best lady for taste , potency too. I do put a lot of credit to The genetics though. I am currently prepping some beautiful Barneys strains for my next run. Blue Gelato 41, gorilla zkittelz , Orange sherbet , Ghost og and cookie Kush. ( seedlings now). Have put my other grow on slow down fornthem to catch up.
do like the caps and she is being so willing to train out so far. Not stripped the popcorn yet either as i am holding her off for a couple more weeks so the dwc can catch up.
@JohnnyBlaz3, even the pygmy one smells beaut. it is perfectly formed but looks bonsai. lpl. this should be final week now !! cant wait to sample her
Thanks for the comments
thanks , she has had a lot of time vegging , waiting for the rdwc issues to subside so could flip her to flower. am amazed she cane back from the starvation weeks ( went so yellow and lost leaves before i gave in and ditched the" grow caps to the end or death" idea. ) she has so much time left to flower too , alongside her pygmy sister , she looks huge. Fingers crossed keeping moisture at bay
When you say monster you are not kidding! Mine didn’t stretch much the first week-10 days but after that’s another story! Unless you have high ceilings you might want to attach some bamboo (or other rigid small diameter 3-4’ long rods) horizontally, maybe 1/2-2/3 up the “tomato basket” build yourself a horizontal scrog. Openings aren’t necessary put the sticks where you need and tie them down.
@Tazard,
thanks tazard
she is going to be a worthy opponent for "Queen bitch" in this grow i think. have some lively other contenders in my main crop too. she can move around them in her fabric pot though so she might have the advantage over them bitches !. lol
"Fight ! Fight ! Fight !". heehee welcome to a ringside seat mate
if there is an award for determination u r the all time champion............................shes ALIVE congrats..............................and check my update pls
Looks like severe Nitrogen deficiency to me, that and overwatering. This is a good time to use your grow question...you will get good responses from more knowledgable folks.
