Hi Growmies
We're at week six with our Epic Buzz cultivation, and it’s been a period of unexpected turns and impressive recoveries. As we navigate the complexities of growing, each challenge brings with it a wealth of learning. Here’s the latest:
Unfortunately, one of the Epic Buzz plants hermaphroditized, an unforeseen event that could have jeopardized the entire grow. The cause remains a mystery, but such occurrences remind us of the unpredictable nature of plant genetics. Taking no risks, I removed the hermaphroditic plant to prevent any possible contamination. It was a tough decision, but necessary to maintain the integrity of the grow space and the health of the remaining plant. Thankfully, a backup plant was kept on standby, proving to be a prudent move. This sibling was quickly transplanted into the deep water culture (DWC) system to take over the grow. The new contender received an aggressive feeding regime, consisting of a high dose of Orca and a touch of Canna Boost delivered directly into the net pot. The response to this treatment has been nothing short of extraordinary. The result of this week's intensive care is a root system so expansive that it has taken over the entire net pot, even venturing out of the top. This is a clear sign of a vigorous and thriving plant, ready to absorb all the nutrients needed for lush growth. With the roots establishing dominance in their environment, we're on the cusp of transitioning to the flowering stage. The robust root system should provide a solid foundation for the plant to support the energy-intensive process of flowering. The sudden turn of events with the hermaphroditic plant was a stark reminder of the unpredictability inherent in cannabis cultivation. However, the resilience and rapid recovery displayed by its sister is a testament to the robustness of the Epic Buzz strain. With such a powerful root system in place, I am more eager than ever to see how she will perform in the flowering phase.
I look forward to sharing the ongoing progress of our Epic Buzz. Keep an eye out for the next update, where I hope to discuss the transition into flowering and the continued development of this exceptional plant.
@XiggYgreen,so far everything is going to plan. And the guys from Anesia were kind enough to sponsor this Endeavour ;) there are a few other strains they send me like White Runtz, Amnesia Flash, red Banana Pudding and pink Matcha flush…. But for that Santa needs to bring me a bigger tent 🤞
@nonick123, she he’s come back strong from the neglect I had put her through but a bit of orca and boost in RO water straight into the rockwool. She is loving it ;)
@Salokin, very nice! I had six of them turn a really beautiful purple color, and I'm starting to get some colors I haven't seen too often. I'm glad you got your purple one though! Does it smell like you just killed the grape Kool-Aid man in there?
@Salokin, Eyy buddy,
Do you mean that purpl pro weed tester? Once we were able to try it in A’dam, is a great machine. Would be nice to know someone who has one.😉
@Herbie101,thanks growmie, will apply the technique with stick you used and then train the side branches through a screen, let’s see if i finally manage to fill the screen in that small box with one plant ….
@Still_Smoq, Thanks buddy, a bit sad that I let her get tip burn :( Now, she is taking very well to the feeding schedule and is currently gaining like no tomorrow, lets see what the next 4 weeks will bring, as she is now getting the full 270 watts burning down on her. Maybe she'll even be done a bit early, let see ....
@Herbie101, Really curious what she is going to do next, according to her factsheet she should be producing abundantly and she is already developing a light berry scent.
