Hi all! Here we go again with the Hulkberry!
This time I followed the specs from BioTabs regarding startrex, mycotrex, bactrex and orgatrex but not regarding silicum flash and the tabs!
I just added 10g (0.35oz) of silicum to the pot and I'll wait till week 3 or 4 to add the tabs.
All the rest didn't change and I'll put the hardware list down here.
60x120 (2x4) blackbox
PrimaKlima 220/360 m3/h extractor (always on switch 1) pushes air in
Green filter CH10 (entrance, passive exit) So yes I filter air coming in but not going out. I don't have any need for odor control :-D
1 secret jardin 20w fan
2x 180W COB led lights
2x 15L airpots
Winflex temp and humidity tester
And the top of soil, Bio Canna Bio Terra Plus
Hi all!
Hulkberry is gently growing.
I noticed the tip of some leaves curl down a bit too much. I guess the fresh soil that the new roots are exploring is slightly too N rich but this shouldn't be a problem.
Still no tabs in. I'll let the cotyledon leaves tel me when they are needed.
See you next week!
Hi all!
Of the four plants I am growing this one is the most nutes sensitive. I see signs of N overfeeding, mostly on older fan leaves, but this shouldn't be an issue as she will be switched to flower very soon.
The growth rate is good and the shape of the plant as well. I'm a bit behind regarding the lst but she will be topped and trained next week.
Nothing more for now but the fun will begin soon!
Cya!
Hi all!
Some big changes this week! Topped and started the lst!
As usual I kept only 4 pairs of branches and applied my lst hardware to shape the lady.
Didn't change anything to the feeding as those two sativas hybrids don't seem to be in need right now. Also by cutting off almost a third of the plant you lower her needs, at least for a few weeks.
So I will se next week how she is doing and if I should give her a little tab or not.
I plan to defo the fan leaves next week and switch them after recovery so maybe week 7 or end week 6.
And yes I will definitely try to take pictures after a feeding and not when she is thirsty as hell like that! 😅
Happy growing guys!
Hi all!
So I may have started a little mess there... contrarily to what I said two weeks ago I finally added half tab per plant and that was not a wise idea. They looked a bit overfed a few days later and the Bruce Banner even showed some tip burn on two sites. You my be able to see them in the pics of the two plants together. So I had to make a 8ltrs / 2gal flush to stop the problem. as you see her here she is still recovering from it and I will have to reintroduce some bacteria soon and maybe some micro elements before switching her. This adds one week of veg to my plan but anyway it should be ok to flip them in the eighth week if they don't stretch too much.
Also it was not wise at all to add that half tab just before a defoliation... and I definitely should have defoliated a week earlier.
So let see how this sativas recover before the switch! Cya next week!
Hi all!
So here I am back at updating this diary! Sorry for the gap there will be after week 8 but I had to deal with ugly things in my life so I did what I could!
This grow will end up being one of the worst for me! Issues showing up on the plants, no tools to make a proper diag, no time to deal with it and really not in the good mood for growing overall.
Hulkberry was the plant showing the most issues. She is missing micros too but just looking at her you can tell it surely is due to an alcaline soil issue. Later on I will burn the roots by going too acidic on the watering a few times trying to correct this and she will have hard time recovering.
Cya in 10 weeks! 😓
Despite the fact that she is the one that suffered the most from the lack of care she gave some nice dense main buds! Lost a good part of the yield but what's remaining is very enjoyable! Not the most sticky, the trichome coverage could be more dense, but definitely tasty! The levels of limonène are among the highest I grew! Just plain lemon/lime zest taste!!
The high is just what you would expect from a sativa, not too heavy, uplifting and energic! You definitively can plan on doing things, you will just find yourself in deep focusing while doing them! The high lasts quite a long time too, fading gently.
I'll have to give her another try in good growing conditions once.
So last update for this 2018 grows that I will try to forget quickly. Those poor plants did what they could before I managed to revive them. Even didn't plan to update the harvest on this diary but I thought I have to show even the ugly plants lol. But don't expect dry pics sry! Definitely don't take the figures up there as references!
See you all soon for the 2019 grows with nice new strains.
Cya all
so sorry to read your in a bad space mag. Life can get unbearable at times and even this hobby gets a backseat. Hope you are able to resolve your life stresses in an amicable and positive way. positive vibes your way bud. Catch you here when your ready Mag. peace and love
@Ganjagrandaddy, Thanks a lot GGD!! 🙌 As you say things can get quickly out of control sometimes (life wise) just like in growing lol. Anyway it's almost sorted and I'm happy to be back at growing! Next run will be my remedy, can't wait to start!
thankfully able to flush and fix the issue fast though. good hob. seems the hulkberry grow more squat and bushy than tall so nkt an issue with the 8 weeks. my stretch has been easily manageable with her and is about done. you will need to get them separated out from each other a bit to allow the chunky colas to flourish though. seems they grow thick too
keep up the good work mate
@Magnetous_tryko, life gets in the way too much for us to enjoy our hobby.lol
All good my end. finally got to harvesting and ready with a run of hulkberry clones now.
not finished diary as still got three to Harvest fully and half way through trimming up the amazing Utopia ladies. colours of buds are dark purple and so icky sticky too.
hoping all good with the ladies your end too
@Ganjagrandaddy, Hi mate! Sorry I had to leave GD for some time but I'm back! Didn't manage to check your diaries yet but I'll do it very soon. I'll update mine soon too. Hope you are fine!
@CommanderCannabis, Hi! Thanks! I built this lst gear with aluminum tubes and rods but I plan to make a bio-plastic molded version soon enough I hope. Your training is fine bro!
@LazLow, yes definitely indica looking but the leaves may get a bit thinner later, will see! No I do not use Co2 as I do not manage the climate as I should be doing. Waiting for some inkbird controllers to be available in Europe to step up my vpd game and maybe add Co2.
loving the side by side. have one in veg now been topped and defol ready for csnopy shaping hopefully. still jave 3 seeds to use for next crop too. love what i read of this strain. good luck
another unsatisfied hulkberry farmer. i am doing same mag. trying to restore my faith back in the great advert for them !. now become a side grow due to low expectations based on mounting evidence of Unicorn pheno being the only good one and Santa clauses favourite!!. so.much hype in the breeders world now.
