Week 16
Everybody is on Flower!
End of August: daylight 13h20: 7h20/20h40.
Day temperature max: 26°C - Night temperature : 17°C
Sunny weather - 2/3 rainy days in 2 weeks
Enriched the soil with seaweed powder and bat guano.
Continue to add flowering nutrients: Grower Master
I added some Calmag one time.
Watering 2L/plant every 3 days (2 days would be better)
With humidity growing and the relatives hot temperatures: the predators are attacking plants. Everything appears so fast: Aphids, caterpillars, leaf miner flies. Did a general defoliation before spray my mixture Garlic + laurel (12cl Garlic juice + 5cl laurel infusion + 1L distilled water: beware PH!!). I sprinkled diatomaceous earth on top of soil to protect and minimize the infestation.
Brake Pad Breath: still deep green and bushy. Flowering since 4 weeks. The most advanced, pretty good flowers with long pistils are growing. Spared until now: the plant is victim of Aphids, miner leaf flies and caterpillars in a « reasonable way »….try to eradicate the problem without shocking the plant at this stage.
Flash Back#2: around 2 weeks flowering, stretched a few centimeters more, well developed plants with lot of blooming sites. Relatively spared by pests, just some aphids.
GMO X Zombie Kush: some difficulties to recover….just engaged the flowering process, not to bad if she resist to the second pest’s wave.
Royal Moby: uncertain destiny….recovering good, sativa style: 155cm, just starting the flowering stage…super late!
Harvested a pretty auto flower: White Russian by Serious Seeds. Well developed plant, a little bit long to be ready but resinous and meaty buds.
Had some great results with Ripper Seeds Zombie Kush (and KMintz this year) They handle the heat really well :)
Good luck with the grow - it's looking great :)
I just salvaged a Papaya Zoap auto a couple of hours ago that was covered in aphids - got real lucky it hasn't spread to the rest of the grow. I would spray them all with neem oil, but they all flowering and right near the end. Not sure it's a good idea at this stage?
Nice to see another outdoor grow :) Good luck with the grow - and those pesky aphids!
