GDP1 - AN GDP2 - FF Day 14 of Flower as of 7/15/17 PPMs: (Please see picture of notes for actual amounts of nutrients) GDP1 - 297 ppm GDP2 - 320 ppm Height: GDP1 - 22" GDP2 - 11" Updates/observations: - No sign of sex yet and it is day 14 of flower which makes me a bit nervous because I do have a veg section of the tent and I am hoping there are no light leaks that I cannot see keeping them in veg. - GDP2s roots look pretty bad. I am almost positive it is root rot at this point which is the primary reason I am switching to soil or hydro next grow. She drinks almost nothing. - I had to remove two of the main colas on GDP2 because they were falling over and were much lower than the rest of the canopy. - I reduced the PPM of GDP1 because of some light clawing so I know she has all of the nutrients she needs. She is drinking about 2/3 - 1 whole gallon/day right now it is madness. - I have been pruning tops that grow in places that wont have enough light as well as any large fan leaves that block these sites. - All 6 clones I took of this momma survived and I did not even use cloning gel or anything, I just misted them with a spray bottle for two weeks. This is a sign of a healthy plant so hopefully she does good in flower and gives me some purple. - I took three clones and put them into 2.5 gal air pots with roots organic soil and watered them in. I put two clones in the flower chamber to flower immediately for fun and the most vigorous clone in the veg tent to preserve the genetics in case she gives me purple. Good luck out there folks!

AN is Advanced Nutrients and FF is Fox Farms. GDP1 is running only AN while GDP2 is running Fox Farms.

Yeah I know that one experiment with only two test subjects isn't really the greatest experiment but it's honestly not even close any more. The FF plant is super miniaturized and growing extremely slowly.

FFS ... men it sux .... I feel very sorry for you bro.... bloody spider mites πŸ˜” I suggest you Sierra Natural Science SNS 217 for those bloody mites. You shall wait 9 days before starting a new crop. They reproduce every 3 days.

I've had some problems here and there but can you be more specific? What makes them awful to you?

GrimbolTheDruidweek 11
Yeah I'm so impressed with this plant that I took clones just in case she is purple. I love how she grows, no nutrient problems, huge root ball and she drinks like a champion. About a gallon a day in veg! All that combined with the purple pheno and I will keep a mother of this girl maybe for a breeding project.

Grimbol, whats up with your roots at week 8?? you should have roots like that by week 2 or 3, by week 8 you should almost fill a 5 gal bucket or more... are those roots pics from week 8 or am i looking at it wrong? im on my 3rd grow, and i had roots like that too, and every one died in week 2 flower! not trying to rain on your day :)

@FL_Grown, Yeah dude you know actually I bet that's what it is. My reservoir temps have been high ever since summer hit :(

@Grimbol, Duno if your using great white That and KLN helped mine a lot, lower temp would help me more :) I'll keep watching and growing w ya
GrimbolTheDruid
GrimbolTheDruid
@FL_Grown, That's a great question man. This site doesn't have a "seedling" stage and I don't count them as being in veg really until they have at least 3-4 sets of leaves and would have outgrown their solo cup. So I would say I'm finishing up my 4th week of veg right now. But I agree. The roots do look a little stunted in those pictures. They took off this week so stay tuned for a picture of that tomorrow

@CANNASIM, Yeah honestly I had a really negative experience with them on my first grow but I wanted to give them a chance. The Ff plant is looking healthy I would say but not really vibrant like the AN plant.

curious about its purple buds mate! when do you think for switch 12/12?
GrimbolTheDruid
GrimbolTheDruid
@thrashordie, Made my final tops today so probably 2-3 weeks until flower. I'm pretty sure I calculated it out and I can let them get to 14" before I need to flip.
GrimbolTheDruid
GrimbolTheDruid
@thrashordie, Hard to say I think I'm about less than a week away from their final topping then they will start to really grow upwards. From there I would imagine another week or two to reach 18" and then I flip them. My veg is pretty long but I really love sculpting the plants.

im confused. you know these plants thrive in the outdoors right? seems crazy to worry so much about bugs when they grow so good in the ground under the sun. i guess the problem is not that you have bad bugs in there but you dont have the good bugs which would normally keep the bad ones under control.
GrimbolTheDruid
GrimbolTheDruid
@melly, Yep there is a lot of truth to this. Where I live, I can only grow outside for 2 months of the year unfortunately.

You are an artist, aggressive on GDP2 ? 10 hours later she was ok πŸ˜„πŸ‘ When I touch my plants they need 1 week to recover from stress , I wish I could be aggressive like you are bro !

Shame...Little can be done when in flower (Other than Molasses feeding)....However while in Veg it is possible to rid yourself of mites with a thorough regime of spraying every 4 days or so for 4 wks is sufficient with an Organic Fatty Acid Soap Based Spray onto the leaves top and underside especially...before returning plants to the grow room which you have sterilised with strong detergents. It is essential to repeat this process several times until all existing adults have been eradicated along with all eggs which have been laid upon the undersides of the leaves have hatched out and those too eradicated. Also apparently increasing the Brix levels within the leaves by feeding with Vinasse or Molasses will make you Plants less appealing to sucking insects ..google it As stated a decision was made and More seeds can be started soon...No Regrets and Cleanliness is Next to Godliness...Never use anything from the back garden indoors not even a pot etc. belive me I know I have had Mites, Fungus Gnats and even Caterpillars chewing My leaves after a Moth got into My Tent unnoticed one night. You seem to have a good idea of what needs doing as well as some good cleaning of the general area where the tent was positioned within the house

My condolences! If it's any consolation, I gave you one of my 3 votes because this is an awesome, well recorded diary, and has a lot of value because you experimented, took risks, learned some new things and shared it honestly and with humility with us. I'm looking forward to your next endeavor. I had those f'rs in Lilliput bud land. (We fae are little so we're pleased even with the small dank bud Jah has provided). I appreciate your words about providing good medicine and knowing what I now know, people put a lot trust into the folk who cultivate their meds.
