Blue Dream harvested day 107 from seed. She was an easy plant to grow, I had no issues with transplanting, LST, defoliated days 47, 50 and 57, plus a few branches. Ran nutrients with my water at ~1200 EC, likely could have increased a bit, but her tent mate would show signs of nutrient burn, she was on FinalPart for 29 days prior to flushing, likely due to overfeeding nitrogen.
She grew to height of 68 cm with heavy flowers that smell of pine and increasingly citrus. Massive plant that had 5 large colas that were similar in size and benefited from supporting/tying. Trichomes never really "turned"; there were a few scattered amber trichomes.
Flowers were fairly airy and will made great hash. Trimming was done over multiple days.
Final dry weight was 245 grams.
Very light buzz for me lasts around an hour. Still smells good. The kief is strong and a relaxing high.
She could have been much better, but she struggled with something I did and it was difficult to determine when to harvest. Thinking calmag is not needed until later in the grow.
Amazing plant she was huge!!!
Works great!
Roots were everywhere, top 5-10cm in coco was a nice mat of roots, then attached to the side of the 5 gallon fabric all the way to the bottom of the pot and out, roots!
Still in working order after 3 grows.
I do wish it was 160cm in height, had a few more access points for cables, and cross bars to prevent the sucking in of the tent, overall it works.
Followed cocoforcannibas for flushing/cleaning coco this week. Harvesting took around 1 hour as there was not a lot of fan leaves to remove.
Dried over 8-12 days ~60-55% with ~18C. Started trimming on day 8 the smaller branches and then just continued to trim over the course of several days.
Beautiful looking plants!😀👏🏽 They looks super healthy and the growth rate is perfect!
Was looking at your dairy since day one, love your detailed explanation!
We share similar grow style🏽
Was wondering how do you like the dualpart series form terra aquatica?, I use their tripart for some time now.. Wondering if it'll be easier to use the 2 part one
Good luck and have fun growing brother 🌱
@1_Plant_Wonder,
Thanks again for your kind works of support, much appreciated as a new grower. These two have been an amazing experice to date!
I have used both the tri-part and dual part coco now on two grows; The 3 vs 2 bottles does simplify the process and I am likely to purchase the dual part coco again when these bottles run out. With my water and autos I run ~40% strength nutrients at ~1200 EC using the dual part coco.
I had also considered the Canna line as they are also a two bottle setup and there are some examples of sucessful plants with Canna.
Been following along with your Purple Punch as it is on the list to grow in the near future...
Take care and enjoy the journey! 😎
Plants looking fantastic!👏🏽
Once most trichomes becomes cloudy, it won't be long before the amber starts to appear, and then flushing, so if you think you're a week /week and a half before that stage, start with final part;)
(Usually terra recommend 10 days of final part before flushing, but with autos everything is faster, so a good week of final part will do to my opinion)
But MY question is, would you continue using Calmag along with finalpart? Or not..? That I truly don't know😅
Good luck! 🍀
@1_Plant_Wonder,
I think the Sour Diesel is ~2wks from finishing based on other diaries with coco/ hydro/similar size. I was thinking FinalPart for 12 days and then 2 day FlashClean followed by ~ 2 days of water flush to run-off EC the # escapes me, but based on cocoforcannibas recommendations.
Good question on the CalMag and FinalPart. Both plants have minor rust spots. TA on the Coco formulas suggest no additional CalMag is needed, and I think FinalPart would be the same. My experience is even buffered coco with a specific coco fertilizer formula still needs CalMag added to any water you use to dilute to get your EC. Now with FinalPart you are basically just feeding bloom nutrients. Would not adding CalMag block some other needed micro nutrient during the final 2 weeks of flower? I don't know, but someone on the forum would perhaps. For now since there is already some signs I was planning to add it to the next feritgation with any water used to dilute to EC. I was thinking I could always fade it over the next week or so.
There are a few trichome pictures of SD at end of week 10. Mostly cloudy and some clear. I will grab some more photos with the USB microscope camera tomorrow. It is a challenge to get good photos..
@Hix57,
Thank you for your kind words. I did not realize how large she was until I removed her tent mate! I need to invite my buddy over to help with the trimming.
