~ Update ~
Hello my friends, welcome back to another weekly update. I have a few issues going on so I’ll put those below in the IPN. This has been a good week so far, the girls are very happy, except the bazar mazar… Other than that it’s exciting that I’m pretty much at the halfway point :) Anyways, enjoy the update and let me know what you think in the comments, I always appreciate feedback
~ Individual Progress Notes ~
[CBD]
Notes: This is the healthiest of the bunch, nice rich green leaves and fluffy buds. I’m surprised the this little mutant is doing so well. As I said in the vlog GCS got back to me last week, I’ll keep them up to date with my grow so they know what’s going on with this girl.
[Mazar]
Notes: Burn! I’m noticing a lot of small but noticeable spots, leaf chattering, and slight yellowing at the tip of the leaves. I feel like I should just avoid feeding this girl though I’m not sure if that will help the situation. If you guys can take a look at this girl I’d really appreciate it :)
Edit: I found out thanks to my friends here on GD that I burned my Bazar Mazar :( So time for water which I might only give her water and flower fuel then flush till harvest (might be my cleanest tasting and smelling afterwards). It's hard to feed 4 different metabolisms every watering, but hey I'm learning :)
[Super Silver Haze]
Notes: The beast of the grow! What a lovely plant. Even though this girl got really hungry and started cannibalizing the lower leaves her buds are massive! I’m impressed with the total growth of this beast. Honestly, I’m cheering this girl on, might be my favorite (don’t tell the others).
[White Widow]
Notes: More like purple widow, this dense girl is showing her dark side and I like it. I planned on the purpling, still surprising to see all this purple though. I like purple buds but I don’t want this (or any of the girls) getting shocked by the cold. Hoping the I can get a few more pieces of gear to help out the next grow.
~ Final Thoughts ~
What a week, some of the girls are rocking and the Mazar, not so much :) It’s a learning experience that will take some time for me to learn how to balance all (most) of the variables. Thank you guys so much for all the love and support, I always appreciate it :)
Happy holidays and good grow’n fam, much love
Meus <3
Hello GD my Mazar is having weird patches of shiny stuff that look like snail trails (no snails) it doesn't rub off and I'm not finding the issue online. I'd appreciate any insight into this issue (:
I think that the beginning of a thrips infestation you can buy a spray for that in youre local gardenstore Just spray it on and 2 days later no more bugs and i still stays active in the plant about 3 weeks so if she has les than 3 weeks to go you cant use it cause it Will show in the taste of the buds afterwards
@iMeus, You’ve obviously got a knack for this. We’re happy to be there for questions. You’ve done all the heavy lifting! Keep up the good work. Thank you!
@Tazard, @Silky_smooth, @Quexos, I've updated the diary to include the vlog & notes for the week. I'm getting the pics up soon, thanks for the love guys :)
Plants look nice and healthy. Great genetics! Sorry things aren't going smoothly. You end up going through your stash quicker when your plants are having issues.😨😤😤😎
What about making individual cages for support? Instead of a giant SCRoG, you have 4-5 smaller ones. I wanted to do something similar on my first grow, but the tomato cages that I had were too big for my smart pot. I found out I didn't need them anyway. Stalks were plenty strong enough. One of the growers even has square fabric pots that have dowel stick holders sewn onto the outside.
I haven't gotten any mold on my canvas pots, but the outsides start to get hard water deposits. You could use risers to get the pots off the saucers. That way the canvas isn't soaking up any water that is runoff. Do you reuse your fabric pots? I thought about it, but they are cheap so I buy new ones.
@Quexos, I have a shop vac that I use after every watering to suck up all the extra fluids, works pretty good. I always buy new pots (if they're fabric). I'll do my best to keep this grow as healthy as I can :)
Much love
It looks like you are back on your feet. I hope you are feeling better. Gratz on your harvest. Now you get to enjoy the fruits of your labors.
Despite your difficulties, you did a fine job with this grow. You learned a ton, which will make your next grows that much easier. You'll see.
@Quexos, I'm feeling better! Don't have any pain anymore and now I can do my regular chores without feeling like I'm tearing my abdomen open lol. As you mentioned I learned a lot and I can't wait for the next project :D
Thanks for the love Q!
Nice operation you have going! All of your plants look wonderful! I really hate what the plants look like when they've been mainlined. They look so sad right afterwards. You girls have really bounced back. Are you going to to top again to get more budsites, or are these going to be your mothers?
Are you running both lights now? You have a lot of plants going. I was thinking you might be using both at this point.
Finally, I'm really interested in your seeds. Ordering from Europe is sketchy at best. I've had one order seized and another searched. If I could find a good North American breeder, I'd sleep a lot better after placing a seed order.
Have you thought of saucers of beer for your mite problem? Bulbi's idea is great. Those ladybugs will gobble up those little critters, but ladybugs have a mind of their own. They might decide to beat it down the line at some point. Beer attracts the bugs, and then they can't escape and drown. Diatamaceous earth works well on the soil surface as well. It acts like shards of glass and cuts the little insects to pieces. It is truly a gruesome insect death. I've also seen a few growers use colored sticky strips. They come in different colors to attract different types of pests.
@Quexos, I'll hit up your four questions then I'l touch on the beer, lady bugs, etc.
First: When it comes to topping I have to top my Purple Urkle #1 since I don't have any clones of here whatsoever. So I'll most likely top my others, still debating.
Second: As for being mothers there is no doubt they're great mommies, but it's temporary, these will be flowered when I have established clones of all 5 mother plants.. I'm not gonna lie I'd love to keep these mothers but sadly I don't have the room :(
Third: Lighting, dude this new light is so bright my other light looks like a night light lol, Also this new 3000w takes up most of the lighting real estate, no need for more light. If anything I need more co2 :)
Four: Dude I wish I had my first SSH that I purchased from Growers Choice Seeds. In just three days of germ the SSH seeds had a taproot about 2 inches long! Talk about aggressive growers :) Still these genetics look good so far, I won't know for sure till the end of this grow.
Other Ideas: First to mention I use the stick strips, though they've only caught 2 white flies lol. That Diatomaceous Earth looks good, I'll check that out man 👍 As for beer, well I'm not a beer drinker (love mead, wine, whiskey, etc no beer. I'll give it a shot though :)
Well, that was a hell of a comment! Thank you very much for stopping by and shooting me your ideas 👊
Much love <3
Glad you are shuffling about! Bud video looked great! Those were some really nice colas that you grew.
If the grow didn't turn out the way you planned, you could turn the buds into edibles, and tinctures. You had a large yield. Time to experiment!
This was a really nice yield! 54 grams is very respectable for 1 plant. The buds look excellent. They are very sugary. I would be really happy with this grow.
Your buds look amazing my friend and I believe congratulations are in order. You put in the work and time over the last few months and it has given you some beautiful results. I wish you all the best in your next grow and I'm so happy for you that this grow has turned out as beautiful as it has. Cheers my friend and happy smoking!
