-4x3 plants; next time I probably will reduce to 3x3
-28 Days of vegetation
-Once topped in 3. week of veg.
-Once defoliated in mid 4. week of veg.
-First use of Bio Tabs program:
Everything used as recommended but added some 'Silicium Flash' in the lower part of the pot.
Additionaly I also added 'Living Char', 'Java Lava' and 'Ocean Side Compost' from Almicanna in lower doses to upgrade the Light Mix.
In the first week, some plants have shown a slight deficiency which I think was due to the not yet adjusted soil (since it is the first grow in the pots), which was however very small and with the single application of the 'BoomBoom Spray' could be remedied. From then on the babies grew like crazy and had already in the third week finger-thick stems. The leaves were also bigger than my hand by the third week and were all healthy throughout.
As a preventive measure, I also sprayed 'Hydroliq-Grow' a few times, which has additional plant strengthening and disinfecting effects (also organic).
At the beginning of the third week of flowering, I will lollipop them and defoliate again. After that I will stretch a net.
From 4. flowering week I will give each plant once a week 500ml of the Bio Tabs Compost Tea combined with the PK 5-8 Booster.
Temperatures constantly between 23.5 to 25 degrees during the day and 19-21 degrees at night.
I only gre the Mimosa x Orange Punch once. Really strong orange and citrus smell, but lacking in taste. The high was extremly strong though, not for everyday, because my head and body became like jelly. She was sativa leaning with a near endless ceiling for effects. Didn't want to grow her again, cause the structure was far off from what i expected. Seeing all those nice looking versions makes me want to give her another chance though.
@Flipsie, Of the three seeds I had, each plant had a slightly different pheno, though all had an extreme smell, with 2 having clearly lost terpenes after drying. It still smelled strong, but no longer tasted like much (but still good). I also have to say that proper drying was key. The plants that I didn't hang up for a long time and instead cured in Curing Bags for a few weeks, were much more flavorful and also harder.
Also I had the feeling that by growing organically with BioTabs and a few things from Almicanna, all the plants generally had a very good flavor and flower structure.
@DeadJoke, thank's mate 🙏🏼
Yes, the photos were taken on the last day of the 7th week of flowering. So far I'm really impressed with BioTabs! The plants have developed very well right from the start. The large pots also contribute to this, of course.
