10/9 - 10/15
Week 5 - This was a really special week for me because I found what I think is a special branch. LOL. This is all new to me, but I have never seen this in photos and is hard to describe. Good thing I have photos of what I'm going to try and explain. The plant had really weird leaves(in my opinion) like they were in clothes 5 sizes too big so the leaves were contorting in a weird way. If you read week 4 I was trying all sorts of things to fix this and during an inspection I found a shoot or top or whatever you want to call it with 3 leaves instead of 2.
So like, you know how branches have 2 leaves and then the new growth in the middle? Well this branch has 3 leaves and new growth in the middle forming 3 more leaves. So instead of 2 it's putting out 3... just wait for week 6... because it will start putting out 4! I really don't know if this is common or not. But I have never seen it before in photos or talked about so I don't know. This is a weird plant to me. I am now totally convinced that the plant is growing way more bushy than normal... But maybe it's because I topped early? But the leaves don't really extend that far off the branch. It's such a compact and bushy plant... Not sure what to think
Also, I am pretty sure I topped the 2 new tops because I wanted 4 tops and all the shoots and new growth from that as this is a mother plant of sorts. I also fimmed a random branch to see how that went and what it felt like to do with my hand instead of shears. I don't know what date I did that. I think maybe between 10/8 and 10/10 based on the photos.
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!
@DabbertGlobberfield, thanks man yeah she was tiny haha 🤣 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 🙌 I'll be following along with your grow man keep up the good work
@BarneyRumble420, Thanks so much! 💪 I saw your photo of the month Dec win, congrats! Then I saw you did GMP, too. I loved that little survivor flower baby. 😌
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 😁😁
@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 I’d like to ask you but it seems you’re at the same stage as me. It’s 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 I’ll dm you so I don’t take up comment space, but then again it’s a way to build likes and others can learn from us…
@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.
