Germination went well and so did the seedling stage. For a couple weeks I had some issues with deformed growth, yellowing on the tips and slow growth. First time growing indoors and diagnosing issues can be tough. I think the temperature is an issue, however I’m limited on what I can do. My basement isn’t insulated right now so I have a heat mat from AC infinity on the way hoping it will raise the root temp to an adequate level. I think I had my lights to close to the plant so raised it up, and gave the plant a composed tea with molasses and worm castings because I wasn’t sure if the light intensity was causing lock out. I’ve PH my water to between 6.2 and 6.5 so I don’t feel like it’s the problem. The new growth is coming in healthier do something worked
Hello! Hoping to get some insight into why the leaves on this girl have holes and the tips are breaking off. Thinking maybe nutrient burn? I’m using slow release nutes from Gaia Green. I used premixed coco I had already amended with 3 tbs/ g of 4-8-4 and 1 tbs/g 2-8-4 top dressed
Just a note that BT is organic - so there's no worry about inhaling or otherwise injesting harmful anything... and it works brilliantly. For confirmation:
"Bt proteins are allowed in organic farming as a insecticide because Bt is a natural, non-pathogenic bacterium that is found naturally in the soil. Bt has also been found to be safe to all higher animals tested." - http://www.bt.ucsd.edu/organic_farming.html
I got a lot of growth this week, and did a pretty good defoliation to thin her out. I’m getting minor burning on the leaf tips and the leafs look like they are lacking something. I’ve added a little epsom salt to my last feed and will water with molasses on my next one. I feel like I’ve got my pest issue under control which is a good start. Pistols are starting to show themselves.
Flowers started slowly. I had the lights too far away for the size of light. Moved them to twelve inches and things seem to be ramping up. There is already pretty serious trichome production for the size of flowers and how early it is. The sugar leaves are already turning white. Nothing serious to report.
Flowers are showing a lot of frost build up but I’m concern at the size of the flowers for this stage of the game. I noticed some fading in the leaves so I top-dressed with 1 tbs/gallon of power bloom.
Although the flowers are looking dense and frosty I’m concerned they they are not bigger than they are. Looking at everyone’s diaries they seem small in comparison. Any thoughts ?
You've got a long time left with these ladies and they will bulk up even more if you give them additional P and K... find a good PK booster ... if you want to stick with Gaia Green, their Seaweed Extract is a wonderful source of Potassium and the bone meal is great for phosphorus .. you could add these two to your nutrients without worry...
Good luck!
No major changes so far this week, however, the flowers are starting to build a little mass and structure. Impressive frost even on the lowest nodes. I’m continuing to water every two days with approximately 1-2 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water, ph 6.5. I add a tbs of molasses every couple waterings. We’re having a cold snap so temperature in my tent is dipping lower than I would like which is unfortunate. But it’s warming up in the next couple of days.
Things are shaping up. There is nice structure building in the buds and the tops of the colas are very dense. Pinkish Color’s coming through the flowers and purple in the leaves. No issues besides temperature but that’s my problem not hers. So leave her out of it! 🤬 I feel like she might need more than 8 weeks but who knows. Maybe she will surprise me.
The top of the main colas are very dense and nice but beneath the larger top leaves is still really larfy and underdeveloped. Should I pull some of these leaves to allow more light. I’m at the start of week 8.
Causing unnecessary stress to the plant it's final push isn't recommended at all, you're in the home stretch why take energy away to recover when they're using everything to push out flowers, they like will fill in more you never know what a week or so will do..
If anything this lady will be frosty as all f$$$. I think another week and she will be happy to leave her home. Hoping she will thicken up a bit beneath the tops of the colas. Only time will tell I guess. Happy growing 🤙
I would say this is the final week for this frosty girl. The trichomes are primarily creamy with the odd amber here and there, not up taking as much water and the leaves have a nice fade. Good sign we’re almost ready. I will wait until 5-10% amber and then end this part of the journey.
I can’t give a smoke report on the flower as of yet. I’m doing a month cure first and will fight the temptation to try it. I did make a Frenchy Cannoli style temple ball that is absolutely killer though. Some of the cleanest and tastiest pressed hash I’ve ever had. The wildberry comes through really nicely. I would grow this strain just to turn it into temple balls.
Update: So I know I said I was going to wait 30 days but being a man of science and for the sake of all human race I unleashed the wildberry cake from the jar and conducted my experiment. My hypothesis was correct, this shit is dope. It burned perfectly and had a really smooth smoke. A nice clean ash and carries a pretty intense but chill high. It’s like you were walking down a dark alley and “pafff”, ninja kick to the nose bone by a jam sandwich. The kind of ninja kick I like!
