She’s looking nice so far. Going 100% organic in this grow, put some fish bone kelp and gypsum in the soil, then a layer of earthworm castings, then some mulch. Then after another week the roots should hit the growbed and then my fishies do the rest of the feeding and watering. So I’ll only be watering every 4-5 days alternating water and fox farm big bloom.
Performed the second stage of the manifold, she’s looking nice and strong, thick leaves, I’m really looking forward to this one, I’m going camping for a week, so I just have her a top off of nutrients and a little water to keep the soil moist and, it’ll be crazy to see the growth after being away
So been super busy the last couple weeks, went camping for a week, then came home for a couple days and went away again for a few days, so that being said, with just a little watering and nutrients to keep the soil happy mid week, I’d say this one is doing pretty good. Unfortunately not being around has led to, let’s say, not optimal training time, lol so they aren’t as even as I’d like, but I should be around more to train them each day now and hopefully I can even it out, if not I do have scrog screens I could add. So we’ll see how it goes!
She really took off this week, just flipped lights to 13 hours, trying to decide how much pruning to do on this one. She has a lot of lower branches but I think I might chop them so she can focus on the main colas, we’ll see how it plays out
Well,this baby has been doing great since I let her dry up a little, put a scrog screen on her,defoliated the bottom and trained her pretty evenly. Flipped to the usual 24 hr darkness then 13/11 lighting schedule, Got some preflowers a few days later.
She really filled out this week, started foliar bloom khaos this week, twice a week for a month. Only been watering about 1/2 liter like every week and a half with just a little cal mag, and some big bloom. Pretty much just enough to keep the soil moist and give a few nutrients that the fish may not be supplying. Filled the scrog screen up nice and full, there are 16 slots on the screen and they are all full, pretty excited to see how this goes compared to the white widow auto, that was my first grow. So far she’s looking like one of the best I’ve grown yet!!
More nice growth this week, buds are developing nicely, and she’s starting to smell really nice. Only a few ounces of water this week to supply a littl cal mag, then just some bloom khaos and big bloom in a foliar spray a couple times a week. My previous grows I was adding liquid nutrients and had to water the soil a lot more, but I think because the soil is on the grow bed it does nick some moisture up into the soil keeping it too moist and affecting nutrient uptake. Now I’ve started growing with the organic nutrients and watering approximately every week and a half, as I started using a soil moisture tester and letting the soil get a little drier, and she has been doing fantastic. I guess sometime it’s true that less is more lol
Looking pretty great again this week, Haven’t been watering nearly as much as earlier grow, still just been watering about 1/4 - 1/2 liter every week or so, just to keep the soil moist and supplement some extra feed. Added some coffee grounds to keep things slightly more acidic. Buds look great, starting to smell more and more each day.
Damn thrips did a bit of damage on my baby the last couple weeks, been spraying with neem oil, I only see one or two now when I check my plants good, so hopefully they’re pretty much gone. Other than they she seems to be coming right along, probably getting close to harvest soon. Smells very strong, of course the neem oil doesn’t make it smell any better. Lol
@Seedsman, thanks for the comment, as there are a few thrips in there, got some neem oil this morning, looked pretty hard and only found a couple so hopefully it’s early
