Day 23 had another watering. Cal mag added.
Smell starting to really come on strong. Thankfully it's looking like the strain can take my over feeding.
Keeping on trucking, starting to stack. Frost has started early. Going to be a very frosty Christmas.
Environment is spot on. Weather has cooled.
Mean Beanz genetics have some serious terps. Would recommend to anyone out there doing a pheno hunt. This strain is really starting to smell of oranges. Still has the z terps but way more orange coming through.

Day 25 lifted pots to check weight and found several worms. Must be from the worm castings. Didn't expect that in this size of pots at all. Was going for hot soil not living soil, not complaining the benefits are meant to be there.
The cal-mag seems to have helped. The plant in the closet that lost colour is slowly taking new colour on and spreading to the middle from bottom and top. Plant next to it is too dark, given same water and feed???
Watered again on day 25, that's a litre every other day.
Smell is amazing. Truly! Musty cookie, sweet, orange z terps. Unique.
The plants that lightened more were the plants that received more feed. Next organic dry amendments run it's less volume of feed and prob every other week rather than every 3-4 weeks. Slight p k lock out. Luckily new growth is darker and they have bounced back. The lighter plants have the biggest yellow tips.
Cal mag is starting to be taken up and leaves getting shinier from bottom to top. Was definitely going too light on the cal mag.
Going for bigger fabric pots next time. Probably a 6 gallon. Day 27 pots due a water but still heavy, sometimes it's every other day, sometimes it's two days in-between. Still not going for dry back but not looking for root rot. Fine balance.
Will most certainly be sticking to organic dry amendments from now on. Things looking like they will work out quite well (touch wood) I know next time will be even better.
Don't give up on a system until you have it locked and know you have taken it to it's full potential. Don't switch systems just because you had a bad run first time doing it.
Day 28 top dressed half a cup of worm castings and watered with cal mag. Lowered tent lights down to the hangers and off the higher hooks. Plants further along into flowering now should be able to take it.
Night of day 28 me and my friend had a stoner session and decided we have added the last dry amendment. When we water there is still a guano type smell.
We have run twice previously with the dry amendments. Once going heavy with the dry feed right through flowering, once cutting off the feed early. We cut off too early and the plants didn't do as well as they should but god damn terps were something else.
The heavy feeding run we could taste guano, all guano, with a hint of ze terps
Our reasoning is we are going for pure terps. We know I overfed and we know there is still feed in there. If they need a feed, I will come in with canna bio Flores. Two weeks flush weeks 9/10
This grow has been like the magic roundabout with decision making and the direction it's heading.
The terps are there, I just want them at their absolute best. I want to add potassium later in flower but I don't want no guano taste anywhere near no smoke this time.
