03/02 - GG's nutes have been reduced to plain water with 1/4 tsp KoolBloom dry for ripening... her EC is 0.4, pH 5.9 .... heading to harvest in about a week. Meanwhile, OG is continuing the nutes in full with an EC of 1.0 and a pH of 6.0. She's starting to fatten up but will never equal the joyous fat buds of GG... I doubt I'll grow this one again although I've got a couple of ideas on how to make it better if I ever do grow it again... I'd be MUCH more heavy-handed in the defoliation and probably leave only 8-10 colas on her... but that's for the next time. Right now, things are percolating along just fine but I'm not looking forward to trimming OG - not at all!
@Kruidenvrouwtje, oh yeah... it's not even me! LOL! It's apparently of a lady in Havana who hangs out on the corner with her girlfriends and they all smoke stogies ... I chose her 'cause I loved the flowers in her hat! AND she looks a bit younger than me... LOL!
@GrowingGrannie, Well, you know what they say.... growing weed is more addictive than smoking it... so the big blunt on your profile picture is just for show π
@Kruidenvrouwtje, no, I really don't! I tried it back in college in the 60s but wasn't all that impressed ... I could get higher WITHOUT it so why pay $5 for an ounce of it when I didn't have much money ... and I've tried it here recently but all it did was send me to the couch - and it was VERY mild shit... so no, it's just not something I'm into! I just love the challenge of growing it...
What the crap is pony-tailing? Lol , sounds like an eventfulish bucket swap . But you corralled that pretty quick. Lookin forward to seeing how your ponytailing works out... lov seeing the little mark near ur name showing u updated .. hope they settle into the new buckets n like their hair do!!!
@GrowingGrannie, awesome news. Was curious how it was working out for you. Now thinking I'm gonna start my youngins tomorrow morning . 6 hrs for a few days will be doable now I'm outta work for a bit.. see how it works for my photosp's , think it should pan out similarly. Shall find out. But that's great , gotta see how the next few updates go for you!!!!
@Grow4Releaf, hey! hey! Just wanted to update this thread and let you know that ponytailing is really kind of cool! It's actually a bit like topping although you don't get two colas out of the one... but it REALLY allows the side branches to catch up with the main cola which has been a terrible problem for me in past grows... one gigantically tall cola and everything else sweeping up down in the basement! LOL! I like it VERY much for autos.. give it a try sometime - but again, don't leave the ponytail on for longer than 6 hours (I think I had said 8 but that's not right)... I only had to do it for 3 days ... :-D Cheers!
That OG is definately a leafy girl. She could just have a longer flowering time in comparison to the GG, just a thought (in regards to the development). Looking great regardless π.
Looks amazing. I've been MIA learning from mistakes π, but I'm back and made a transfer to coco in an attempt to remedy my over zealousness. Great grow as usual, looking forward to these girls hitting the scales!
