Looks like the bubba really took off in week 5. Was worried I got a runt or there was something wrong, but her growth rate has exploded this week. Obviously I would like for her to be further along but I'm not complaining now that she is on track. Look at the difference between day 29 and 35 with just 7 days worth of growth. The same has happened with the Grape Diamonds and I suspect that changing the light cycle in response to the very cold weather has sped up growth considerably with warming avg temps in the tent. Looking at roughly between 63-75f now (instead of the dreaded sub 60s we had for a few days) and a nice 50-60RH with the humidifier in the tent.
I topped her at day 34 and look how she has responded! Incredible growth. I'm getting pretty excited to flip her but I'm definitely going to be vegging her out for maybe like another 3 weeks or so. I've got to figure out when I want to start training her under the SCROG net and also when to start feeding her. She's in the 7 gallon so I'm pretty sure she is good on nutrients for while still.
See you next week!
@Gold1, Sure, exactly we learn everyday :) I must try organic myself. I thinking about biocanna, since it resembles regular hydro. Maybe this year is the year :)
Fingers crossed they will deliver some goodies nevertheless.
Good luck !
@Willy_Balls, Yes, this is my first attempt at growing photoperiods with nothing but organic dry amendment and teas. I seem to have misjudged when I should have fed dry amendments, and the plants went without potassium for 2 weeks or so.
The leaves are messed up due to an initial potassium deficiency as well as possible burning. I also see some signs of calmag deficiency.
That being said, they are still producing calyx and pistils. My other plant, the Grape Diamonds, is filling out better than the Bubba Kush. I don't expect them to be as dense or big as they would normally, but that is okay. You live and you learn right?
I've got another two plants in the veg tent ready to enter the flower tent once these girls are done.
Thanks for the cheers friend. :D
