4 lovely little stardawgies coming along nicely on water and biosys. I shall make them a mares tail broth this week to give them some silicic acid to strengthen stems and branches.
Things seem to be progressing nicely at the moment. I've never grown an auto before and the speed which they grow at is scary. Nice side branches starting to develop and the stems thickening up nicely. This living soil ain't cheap but it's doing well so far. Don't think they need any silicone they must be getting it from the growing media. These girls will need a little training soon. Loving the way this grow is going!
I've just started the lst training with some "tucking". I will tie some branches down to spread out the branches, probably the back end of next week. Overall I am very pleased with my grow so far. A lot of the magic is done by the ecothrive living soil alongside the biosys microbial tea. I don't even have to check the ph balance of the water, result.
It's a steep learning curve when we try something new and I made a few mistakes with my plant training, but as I progressed from plant to plant things improved. I should have started the lst earlier as it would have made my life easier. The first plant I worked on I cut the branch not the fan leaf - whoops! I also tried to move two branches too far down and they half snapped where they join the stem. I hope they recover.
But overall I'm not too disappointed with my efforts. It's been a while since I last grew any herb and my first goal is to get some nice smoke however great or small. Blessings on all my fellow growers, peace out ☮️☮️☮️
My plants are stretching like mad at the moment, the tallest one is 27" and the smallest one 18" would guess that there is about another week at most! The one that I partly split the branches is healing nicely and in a couple of weeks all anyone will see will be the knobbly scars. I've hit them with a scoop of bat poop each and I think I might make them a nettle tea soon as it's good for the roots that bring forth the flowers. Peace out ☮️☮️☮️
The stretch looks like it's now nearing the end with 3 plants just under 3 feet tall and the smallest one 2 feet. I gave them a couple of top dressings with bat guano watered in with with microbial additives. I will make some nettle tea this week and water the bat guano in with that. There's a healthy dose of nitrogen and it's especially rich in potassium. There's plenty of bud sites on these girls, they just need to get bigger and covered in trichomes over the next few weeks.
Week 8 and the stretch is over! The height of the plants is between 2 and 3 feet. One plant seems to be quite a way ahead of the others with it's buds fattening up already. The small one is not far behind it and the other two are just starting to flatten up. The trichomes are really frosting up the two plants that are ahead and just starting to show on the others. Just top dressings some bat, worm and recycle and watering in with biosys. The two that I did the least to are the ones that are ahead and doing the best. So next grow. Will be LST & tucking only using my newly purchased plant training fabric pots. Peace out good peeps, onwards, and hopefully, outwards with those stardawgies frosty nugs.☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️
Looks like I should be getting some nice smoke soon. As I've never grown autos before I'm not sure how long they will take to finish but I estimate in the next 3 or 4 weeks the girls will be somewhere near. I've cut the light down slightly to encourage them to get a move on. From now on they will be getting just water and biosys. The buds are swelling and frosting up nicely and I am very pleased with how things are going. Peace out ☮️☮️☮️ everyone out there, especially my fellow growers and gardeners, both underground and overground.
Week 10 and this grow is progressing nicely. Looks like 1 to 3 weeks to the finish. The resin glands are enlarging and there is a beautiful purple hue appearing on some of the nuggets. Maybe one more top dressing with the bat 🦇 guano. And then biosys and water all the way to the finish.
I've just hit them with the bat top dressing again tonight, together with the biosys microbial tea. Might have time to get a nettle tea together for 3 of the Stardawgies but the most developed plant might just get water from now on. The trichomes look like they are starting to swell and some of the calyxes are fattening up now. Coming up to harvest soon! Peace out to all the smokers and midnight tokers as the Steve Miller song says.
