This Johnny Dang (Ethos) & Blueberry (Dutch Passion) grow was a bit overshadowed because of the Cheddar Cheeze and post-harvest between growing and filming so here's an in detail update of what's going on and we'll have more video content for you guys as we progress through the grow. We started in the 4x8 tent but I moved these over to the 4x4 where the Cheddar Cheeze was growing and I hooked up the ES300's and just seems like it's a lot easier to manage the environment with the 4x4 due to my location and we had some humidity issues which made the leaves a bit wrinkly but the growth has always been superb so if your leaves look wrinkly, your humidity is too low. It won't be fixed but your new leaves will show that you did your job (making your environment better meaning upping the humidity).
The Blueberry being younger is propped up but maintaining 375-400 PPFD which is about how many photons I like hitting my plants where they're all currently at. I've been giving 1/4 cup of earthworm castings every 2 weeks, as opposed to the 1/3 cup I gave during the Cheddar Cheese run. (Running little experiment due to curiosity)
Gaia Green 444, still 3TBSP per gallon of soil for the initial mix set up and 1 TBSP per gallon of soil per monthly top dress...same ole, same ole. I'm also running an experiment between the "500W" ViparSpectra KS5000 and 330W...true watts from the ES300 from The Green Sunshine Company. RIP, I know. Don't remind me. I think I'll get a better yield this time around with the ES300 even though it's about 170W less. I wanna prove that your diodes matter MORE than the company's specified wattage, but we'll see. I also took a pic of the rootball and wanna show that THIS is EXACTLY how you want YOUR footballs to look when you transplant. Have a good look at your roots. You want nice, white roots...not anything tan or orange-ish...trash roots if you have that. I've also removed much of the lower growth so the plants could focus up top, it's gonna help direct most if not all the plant's energy to the flowering sites when they're ready and I can't stress enough how important it is to keep paying attention to your lower growth. don't put yourself in a position where you get lazy and you have to cut up too much and over stress your plant. So just keep an eye on them. Always give your plants a solid week of recovery time, that's 7 days, btw. lol. So if you top, don't do anything crazy for a whole week, give em a chance to recover and don't just assume they're good to go after 5 days. Nature takes time.
"Right now I'm giving about 50 sprays every 1.5 to 2 days. They don't need much water yet, but I upped it from 20 sprays. Next week, I'll be going to 1/4 gallon of water and each week increasing the watering ratio by .25 gallons"... ima have to try something similar. I sux so hard watering seedlings. The plants I'm growing rn have like 0 resistance for over water
@Ninjabuds, if you really want to stop overwatering your seedlings and you like analytics, make sure to get a scale and weigh what you’re container is before you water and after and once you have about 5-10% of water weight left, you can water again. I’ve been doing it that way and it’s been working great for me. Figured I’d pass that on. It seems like something easy, but often overlooked.
@txdiver, Thanks bro. I might just use the 4x8 for flowering in the next run with photos. Oh, and the blueberry bounced back...gonna create a new dairy for the blueberry and replace the purple lemonade with that. I might give the purple lemonade to one of my friends to run.
Hey good luck with Dang! I also just received my order with that strain following to compare yours to mine and see differences and similarities of the phenotypes later on whenever i germinate em probably next week
@Luram, Nice man! Johnny Dang was a new release I heard about and I’ve always liked Ethos Genetics, their dank is always fire. Good luck on your Johnny Dang run as well broski!
@txdiver, I fcked up. I ended up keeping the blueberry after all. And popped 2 more so now I'm stuck with 3 blueberry, good problem. Butt Glitter doesn't seem great but I could only give em the best environment, rest is up to them. Everything else is kicking ass though.
@txdiver, There will be times where I start a new run because I’m either experimenting or I just don’t like how they came out and I respectfully won’t explain myself. My results do speak for themselves. Please don’t take that the wrong way.
