9/25 - 10/1
During week 3 we were working with light and pump schedules. Still only feeding water at this point I think. Or maybe I started adding a little at the end of this week. I am not fully sure. See the problem I had was that initially I had it in my head that I would document everything and keep a log of everything I did. But somehow that didn't happen. I think it has to do with the fact that I was only growing this plant out for clones and as I type this I have the clones sitting. So I am typing up weeks G-8 from memory until we are all caught up. Either way, I know I start adding nutrients and you will be able to tell in the photos because the plant looks like it's on steroids.
I think I had read that people usually top around the 5th node. I was trying to wait. I really was. But I don't think I got that far. Once the plant developed enough for me to see a distinct top forming and it had the space to cut it, I topped it. Topped on 9/30. I took a bunch of photos of it on 9/30 and you can see during the course of the day the new shoots grew up a lot after I pulled the fan leaves apart to get more light on them.
The roots grow through the net bucket and a mesh net I use for containment. Micron size too big, roots grew through. The mesh bag was a 2nd attempt at root containment. 3rd attempt will be very fine micron mesh screen. What could be a good way to deal with this?
They're gonna grow through the micron ones, too. root hairs are outgrowths of epidermal cells between 15 and 17 micrometers in diameter when fully grown. I wouldn't bother trying to contain them, rather solve clogging issues via other means
I have a problem developing and showing signs through this week. Looks like at least a calcium and a potassium deficiency in one plant and a another deficiency just starting in another. Not sure how to fix this. First 8 are one plant, last 2 are another. Photos taken over a week
Your pH is perfect... and even though you do seem to be giving them a lot of different nutes, I would suggest you increase the amount of your PK boosters... I'm seeing the start of a potassium deficiency... and since it's very hard to reach levels that would give you a toxicity of either potassium or phosphorus, I'd even tell you to double the amount of those...
Good luck!
Beautiful work man ๐ช๐ช getting frosty and there's so much more to come you're in for a treat with these terps ๐๐ good luck with the rest of your grow ๐
@DabbertGlobberfield, thanks man yeah she was tiny haha ๐คฃ was terrible weather was raining for months and we copped really bad flooding so she's the only one that survived was a good session worth once dried, if you've ever tried musk stick lollies it tasted like them but more intense almost like gassy citrus fruitloops haha only way I could describe it, it was so nice ๐ I'll be following along with your grow man keep up the good work
@BarneyRumble420, Thanks so much! ๐ช I saw your photo of the month Dec win, congrats! Then I saw you did GMP, too. I loved that little survivor flower baby. ๐
I really am looking forward to watching these girls develop further with colors. I am excited for the smells to kick in. They are so tame in their smell right now. I'm looking forward to comparing to your description ๐๐
@Herbies_Seeds, Thanks! I think it went well overall. I am really looking forward to growing some other genetics from Herbies. This was a great strain for my first time that helped me learn about the versatility of the plant.
Good stuff from my point of view. What press do you own? I have a shit ton of questions Iโd like to ask you but it seems youโre at the same stage as me. Itโs gonna be my first time bubble hash run myself. I got a larger press and was thinking bubble hash was the way to go til I read this lol. Maybe Iโll dm you so I donโt take up comment space, but then again itโs a way to build likes and others can learn from usโฆ
@FrontRowAG_BrianG, Lol, all good. Ask me anything. What do you want to know? I will answer pretty much anything. However, I have a grudge against the manufacturer of my press so I will not be saying the name of it as to not give any kind of press for them at all. But it is a premade press, probably midrange in terms of size.
Typically it's Silica first, CalMag second, then everything else third. Silica and CalMag are heavy and can precipitate the others out of solution. If I forget to add them, then I make sure to dilute beforehand.
