Her bud production is a bit slow and behind, but she is producing. Quite surprised considering the damage done at the beginning of flower. She has definitely finished stretching and now she is producing trichs on the tops. She is also starting to smell just a little bit but not as much as the grape diamonds. I've been taking dead leaves off her and the grape almost every day. It seems like there are more issues with the plant as evidenced by some of the newer leaves but there's no way I'm going to be able to properly diagnose every issue as the plant probably has every issue haha. That being said I think I've hit the point where I know I'm probably on track for at least a decent harvest. Hopefully I am right 👍
I didn't expect the bubba to stretch as much as she did considering the deficiency as well as the genetics. Barney's Farm states that the lineage is an Afghan Indica Landrace x OG Kush so you would think that its a bit more indica leaning than the grape therefore should stretch less. I know cannabis genetics is just more than sativa/indica, phenotypes and expressions etc. I'm not incredibly experienced though, just making some simple observations.
What a disaster my feeding schedule has been. Just been winging it this entire time but now I've got a better picture of how to grow with organic dry amendments. Next run I think I'm going to use Build A Soil's Craft Blend for the majority of the grow and MAYBE build a bloom added in towards the end.
I'll be popping some seeds for next run probably around week 7 of flower or so. Really looking forward to starting a new run and hopefully this run turns out good. 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
