I love how everything has came along so quickly. Absolutely love going Organic with compost tea brewing at home and molasses. Using Neem for pests and mold. Absolutely loving the results so far. Using a California Lightworks SolarSystem 550 with view mode, custom spectrums, program a whole season..... etc. I hate the measuring system for nutes on here. Im all organic so using compost tea I mix about 1/4 to the rest water and water in plants ev other watering.
Hi @Organijuana! You're doing great, your grow space is beautiful, you must be a well organized person! Here are a few thoughts after reading your diary: 1/ I hope you have more space available than what wee see on your last two pictures, be warned you're going to have a jungle, and over-crowded grow rooms are not a good thing, plants tend to cannibalize themselves, apical summits will 'fight' to access to light & fresh air, and as a result, some plants will stretch a lot while others will be left in the shadow and will remain short/small. 2/ your pH is a bit high, almost neutral, but you want it a bit acidic in soilless medium so try to stick to a 5.3~5.8 pH range. 3/ are these really 1gal containers? They look bigger. Anyway, 1gal is fine for the 2 first weeks, but soon you will see roots coming through the bottom of the container, this will be a sign that your babies need to be transplanted in bigger containers. I like to repot my photosynthesis-strains 3 times, start them in a tiny container so the roots can almost get rootbound, transplant them after 2-3 weeks of veg in a medium-sized container to trigger root explosion, then transplant them right before flowering in a big container. This makes the roots spread like crazy. 4/ Try to anticipate your veg/flo schedule, think of how much available height you have and how this strain reacts to the stretch phase, if you wait for too long you might encounter space/height issues. 5/ Don't over-think it, you're doing absolutely fine, and there are many growers to help you in here. You seem to have understood that sometimes, "less is more". I'm confident your run will be successful and rewarded with a great yield. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
Very emotional week, plants are keeping me alive. I lost a 4 yr relationship. Her family wont give us there blessing and she folded on our marriage proposal. My family is wealthy and they want to get into the industry. She smokes but secretly and shes bangladesh mormon and im a caucasian christian. Romeo and Juliet.... TOXIC LOVE.... any beautiful hearted grower woman out there around 28-30 hmu pm me lets go into business together ..... lovers and growers! Ah the dream life! My daughter is into it, my family too. Theres no going backwards for her. GOTTA put daughter fam and business first. ANY SUpport appreciated!
Feeding nutes based on chart, water in (sameday) ..... clean compost brewer and brew new batch (sameday) ..... use compost tea once wk (nextday, water in lil) and discard and clean for next week.... defoliation a lil daily..... HENCE ... becoming more of a chore or should I say we have a great relationship right now. A coexistence, a sudden need for one another. They are my sheep and I am there shephard! Now lets harvest some cotton!
Sexed em to all be females as advertised this pleases me. Also starting to see little starter buds. This really pleases me as well as the awesome yet faint green smell. Mmm
How do I know I have two weeks left I know when to pick by looking at trichomes but how do I know I have 1-2 weeks left so I start flushing now kinda thing!?
Hi, in such a short growing period and growing organic it will be enough giving her a nice shower before you harvest. You can also feed the microoranisms in the soil with some added blackstrap-molasses. Happy growing until then
👋hello from New England
Good question and nice plants!
I believe we let our plants yellow out to smooth out the smoke. I read that Nitrogen supply's chlorophyll production. Chlorophyll in plant matter that is being smoked results in harsh taste and less enjoyable burning experience. So any processes to help alleviate that (flushing and curing especially) will be rewarding to the end user/ consumer. 👍
Now that being said the good news is the more you grow a strain the more you can tell when the right time is.
As mentioned above Cannabis plants have a few ways of showing maturity/ripesness. The leaves, trichomes, pistils all physically express a plants maturity. Usually a Keen eye and an attention for detail you should be able to utilize these color-changing properties of your plants as a solid good indicator for timing.
Lastly and personally I have found tapering off earlier, rather than later, ends up being a more enjoyable smoke 😁
You can visually guesstimate on the color of the pistils and get some objective data to help achieve in determining when you should take it down, which is the older the plants get the more orange-ish color pistils get. HOWEVER, you can’t 100% determine the age by looking only the pistils. You need to look at TRICHOMES. if you have a jewelers loupe or a portable microscope, you can observe 3 different colors of trichomes. 1) clear, transparent (which is still premature), 2) milky, shady (harvest time, THC potency is at its highest), 3) amber (getting old and older, THC degrading; more CBD). Many will recommend to get harvest when you have about 20-30% milky trichomes. If your trichomes are all milky, perfect. Some people like the body effect from CBD, Which in this case, you will have to wait until milky trichomes become amber). It really is personal preference.
Been so busy, we have licensing in place. Ambition and investment money there. Land is ready. Huuge undertaking! I dont wanna fail here. Starting with 2-3 mil in construction LEDs and CMH staggered. Anyways I will not forget about tge home grow. Promise! 👌☺️
