Week 11 July 16-22 hello friends and followers, welcome to week 11.
I started seeing trichomes last week on Gaia and Circe. I don't smell anything from them. Only cream caramel gives off any fragrance. After flushing for 3 weeks, I've reintroduced fertilizer. I am using 1/3 to 1/4 the recommended dosage. How do I know what is the correct range for ec and whether I've unlocked the nutritional bind.?
7/16 flushed each with 1 gallon of water.
7/17 flushed each with 1 gal
7/18 fertilized at reduced strength each got 3.5 liters. Tps1 15ml, cal mag 1 top, big bloom 6 tbsp, signal 2.5 ml. Pictures and video.
7/19 no water, tent cleaning day, vacuum, wipe up dried spills. Took the girls outside for a few hours.
7/20 reduced fertilizer in 2 gals Tps1 7.5 ml, signal 1.25ml. Each girl got only 2 liters today. There was very little run off only Gaia with EC .80, ppm 570. Their tent mate cream caramel is very sticky and fragrant.
This week has been very busy. I packed up more geneology albums and shipped to my sister. I found my some of grandmother's award winning photographs and awards, certificates and brass plaques. Until WWII women did not work outside the home. If they did, they were teachers, nurses or secretaries.
During the early 1920-40 she raised her son as a single mother and found work during the depression as an executive secretary.
Her family men were bankers and merchants so she had awareness of business practices. During her employ, she won an award of $2 for a human resource suggestion on the proper attire for women in the offices and women on the manufacturing lines.
She continued working until the 50s. Her family always had cameras . That's how i have so many pictures from 1900. But she immersed herself in photography once she retired.. So when my Dad was in post WWII Japan, he bought her a state of the art camera. I came across so many self photos. She was the queen of selfies. Interesting to see the fashions over the years. Let me know if you would like to see some fashion pics.
7/21 made cookies. See week 1 Natronas recipes. The almond flour cookie is the basic recipe for cookies. The r3cipe calls for chocolate chips but It is versatile in that you can add nuts, dried fruit, caramels etc. If you want to taste my cookies the way I make them, you have to chop Lindt 78% dark chocolate bars and use that instead of chips which are sweeter.This time I added macadamia nuts as well. Yummy.
7/22 light defoiliation , and no water or nutrients.
The yellowing, It's on the bottom growth first, which means it's taking stored nutrients from older leaves to make new ones, Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient and fits the bill. Was it always planted in the fabric pot? Or was it airpot like the other more vibrant plant?
CBG1 aka Gaia has lighter color leaves yellowish green at the top but the lower leaves are darker green. Using TPS1 at a reduced rate. She was first in bloom. Her node structure is shorter than CBG2.
Nowhere close to harvest. What is going on
CBG2 leaves curl and fold down WHY? . Potted in fabric bag, seated on 3 stones in drain bin. Receives same fertilizer TPS1 and water schedule as all in tent. Was last to pop soil. Almost 10 inches taller than Gaia CBG1. I thought she was dehydrated from the fans blowing.
Your overwatering (the sag) and to much nitrogen ( the clawing leaves) This has caused some lockout issues in your plant. Test your runoff water and get your ec and ph back to proper levels for the substrate your using.
7/27 Fert values ec 2.13, ppm 1490, ph 6.5 Runoff values following 3 weeks flushing. Cream caramel and Gaia low ec 1.0 or less, 814 or 700 ppm. Ph 6.7 and 6.47 uptaking nutrients-ok
>Circe ec 1.86, ppm 1090 ph 6.0. Still nutrient lockout? Is it soil ph? And how do I fix?
you were overfeeding the plant from week 6 on, it looks like based on the diary. That's the primary cause of the curling and damage.
1,3-1,5 ec is a much better range to be in. you can always test a particular plant's boundaries, but most like this. Relative to environemtn, when near what is needed to provide for max growth rate, it takes weeks if not a month or more before you see if it is something that is building up or becoming deficient in the leaves. Then, you have all the relativistic relationships among the various nutrients in fertilizers to contend with. It's fairly complicated.
You can see the research represented in various hydro nutes like southern ag's, jack's, masterblend etc.. they all have a base of 5-12-26 plus or minus a bit here or there, and paired with calcium nitrate. these ratios have been systematically resolved through cross referencing more data than any one of use can possibly accrue with a small garden, or even a big residential garden. it ends up being somethign like 1:1:2 (7-7-15 is a better resolution, if i recall). Do that at 1,3 to 1,5 EC and enough ca/mg/s relative to your tap water, and bam.. it's smooth sailing. minor adjustments that take weeks or longer to see the results after that.
My CBG plants 112 days from seed are forming new calyx hairs after nutrients lockout. Are they revived and ready to harvest or starting over from scratch delaying harvest? For CBG do you wait to harvest at 20% amber or 100% milky? When do you harvest CBG or CBD?
Hi buddy,
he formation of new calyx hairs after nutrient lockout might indicate recovery, but it's important to focus on trichome development for harvest readiness. Harvest CBG-dominant strains when trichomes are mostly milky, and for CBD strains, aim for a mix of milky and a few amber trichomes. Always observe and monitor the plants closely to make an informed decision based on your desired cannabinoid content and effects.
but in your case you could pass your harved window already, that's where the plant starts to produce the banana nugs again.
But check trichs if still worth it and chop it sooner than later if worth it for you buddy :)
if you got any more questions feel free to follow and send me a DM :)
All the best and good luck!!
@KnightRider, except as stated as my mom's paintings, all art work is by Alphonse Mucha, a Czech artist from early 1900s. See week 1 veg for description of him and his work.
@KnightRider, because my daughter had many allergies when young, i started making my own laundry soap, cleaning disinfectant for bathroom, kitchen etc. Eliminate the toxic load.
@KnightRider, check back as the grow progresses. As i told @Ju_Bps, this gem will go in all my edies, H&B and cleaning products. Probably will post these recipes in the Recipe diary
I've yet to name any plants. "Bitch, hardy bitch, moany bitch. Sexy bitch." They're my names Iol
Also, I've been seeing a lot of ppl who are mentioning playing music to their plants.
Wonder if I can to a test with clones. Will be a bit hard as sound travels. Wonder if I use my beat ear pieces & put them on the sides of 1 real low, so the other can't hear🤣🤣 Either that r sound proofing. Or different rooms but, that changes environment and so on though, so idk how you'd do a fair music test to compare. #look-at mythbusters
Looking really well. Lovely white roots in their droves sticking through. They'll quickly clean up any runoff.
@Natrona,I like to name my plants after the strain as well, or more accurately in the "spirit of the strain and how they are progressing when working with them. typically the names come to me after the first 3 weeks of growth. gripping diary so far, looking forward to more entries.😊.
@gottagrowsometime, yes 🎶 does influence plant growth and health. Classical is what they like best. No Heavy metal, they will die.
I play my folk, new age, and dance music when I'm in the grow room. 🎶
@gottagrowsometime, 👋 I try to name my plants based on the first letter of the strain name. Except for the Goddesses. They are named for goddesses from mythology.
Interesting grow 👍I'll be keeping my eyes on this one I'm interested in usage report (CBG) also for a family member of mine that can't tolerate THC anymore (anxiety attacks). I wish you all the best for you your grow and family ✌️
37k TDS, wouldn't like to drink that by mistake 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Has happened to myself a few times. Think hit 50k tds lol.
Toothpaste. I have to look at this at my favourite rec diary
@Natrona,I see i forgot to congratulate you with your harvest(duh)
Congratulations!!
Very nicely done! but i know why your buds are so awesome, u have Tiger 💚 and Rambo💚 working for you😎
I have to say that there is something very therapeutic with regards to growing cannabis. They need so much to reach their full potential. They also give so much in return. Hoping that your cancer journey is at a place that you are on the winning side at the moment. I may be inspired to tray a CBG plant myself next season!! 💪
@Puffy_Clouds, thank you for the well wishes and healing energy💚💫 I am 3 yrs no disease but chemo and multiple radiations left lots of damage. That is where I'm f ocused on healing, detox these out of me.
