So, I have regrown these because the last 2 were just not going anywhere.
But I have learnt a huge mistake I was doing and didn't even realise - I wasn't pH'ing my humidifier. So if filled with tap water at pH 7.5 then obviously this will affect the plants. I HAD NO IDEA.
So I germinated X2 new seeds and made sure all humidifier water AND drinking water was at 5.9. These new plants have done much better considering they only germinated on 18th November and today is 6th December.
18 days from seed in the pics. Very very small dose of food and Rhizo. Watering 500ml tap water pH5.9 every 4-5 days or so. No curling, dropping or colour changes on my leaves. Healthy GREEN. One plant noticeably bigger then the other.
Planted both off center of pot so I have more room to tie down LST.
Very happy so far.
Girls are stretching BUT my light has been at a height of 19-21inchs above plants on full spectrum and I've never seen the gaps between nodes this big, this early. Maybe it's because it's Sativa dominant hybrid and I'm not used to Sativa traits.
Tied down both plants LST.
On to the next week we go..
💚
Tie down still adjusting every few days
Probs gonna stop bending it about now and let it do it's thing. It's big stretch is coming up next week I reckon.
Light dropped to 18 inch. Humidity dropped to 50% ish. Temps still around 24C.
Some discolouration to the oldest bottom leaves (3 pointed fan leafs) think I had some early calcium issues. Top leaves look healthy.
Pistals showing.
Till next time 💚
In flower.
One of the girls is stretching. Nice spacing between sites.
Other one is a lil close together so having to tuck leaves most days
Smell getting stronger
One staying stubby one stretched out a lil.
Think some mag issues with the black dots on some top leaves.
Not bothered will add a lil calmag back into feeds
Just started on Boost
Buds starting to develop abit of frost on sugar leaves and buds.
Trimmed a couple of leaves of the short stubby plant. Noticed my hands got very sticky already lol
Raised the short stubby plant onto a small platform so that it sits at the same height as the other plant from the LED
The stubby one is like a bonsai lol
Annoying because there isn't much spacing between buds so it's just a cluster. Hope it doesn't raise the risk of mould too much.
Snipped a few leaves out the way
This is my favourite part of the grow. Seeing the harvest window approaching. Gets me so excited.
Happy with how these have turned out so far. My expectations are never going to be great since I grow with a Blurple and in a small tent, and have limited basic knowledge of nutes etc. However I'm really looking forward to this smoke.
The stubby shorted plant is almost done. I think it's ahead of the other by 2 weeks or so. But won't be an issue as I'm drying via Lotus dry method so one plant can stay in tent to finish off while I start drying the other.
Flush will be starting now. Maybe one more feed for the taller plant that is slightly behind schedule.
Purples coming in on the stubby plant. Did a Trichome check. Stubby plant has cloudy ones and the taller plant is transitioning from milky to cloudy.
Keeping a close eye on stubby plant for some Amber then she is coming down.
Just drinking ph6 water. Taller plant had her last feed at the beginning of the week.
Almost thereeeeee
How long after the last flush, do you wait until you chop your plant?
Do you let it dry out so the pot is nice and light before you harvest? Or is a little moisture left in the soil ok? Did last flush 48 hrs ago and I'm itching to chop her down, but still slightly damp soil
I don't flush unless I have issues in the medium, end of life I stop feeding and only give water but not to the point it is washing out the pot 5 fold. its dumb. most if not all "evidence" for doing it is not backed by pear review and subject to extreme personal bias. The small ammount of pear reviewd stuff we do have on flushing all boils down to this, does not effect the taste or quality of buds, verified by measuring the contest and percentage of elements in the buds and double blind taste test panel with weed "connoisseurs".
In terms of chop. I'd say do it now, they look like they are ready.
She's very close! She's got about 7-10 days left I'd say.
I have chopped down the other plant that was ready. It's drying already but I'll post those harvest pictures when I harvest the plant that is now finishing off.
💚
Here we are babyyyyy! Man have I been stoked for this day.
Beautiful buds with beautiful colours.
Dried via Lotus method - drying for about 8 days in a fridge. My buds ended up way more terpy doing it this way and I'll honestly be only doing this way from now on.
Smells like freshly grown strawberries. Not like artificial strawberry smell, it was more like fresh from the field kinda smell.. I could not stop opening the fridge and sniffing constantly. Pure joy.
Yielded just over 2 Oz's of dried buds. Had just over 8 Oz in wet weight.
One plant was small and a lil stunted, and I'm also gonna be restricted with my setup. But for a budget, hassle free grow it was fun and worth it. I think I'm ready to step away from Autos.
Buds have gone into Jars.
