Day 0. Just planted
We have action at last with number 3 bean...Will be pre soaking the 4" Rockwall blocks that these will be put in in a few days once I see some roots
These have been put in 4inch blocks now...the roots will be through in a few days and they will Air trim..I have not laid out the spreader the blocks would normally sit on as i want it to make lots of roots in block hence Air prunning
Monday....
I will carry on dipping just the bottom half of the rockwool block to get the roots coming on...I don't want the roots growing into anything yet as im Air prunning the roots.
Which means the root when it hits daylight it will trim and stop growing but further back on that root system it branches off until the next root reaches the edge of the block and so on til the rockwool is full of roots....I
I will then put on spreader Matt for the roots to grow into and water once a day...
Saturday...
Have fim'd these now and Lst them with plant bends. These are not tall growing it says in the write up so I'm going for maximum yeild I can achieve by training them
Towards end of last week I have bent them over with 'plant bends' and fim'd them. I've had to find something to hold them as they were top heavy and I found bbq skewers. Perfect for what i need. I've stabbed the side of the block so I have something to tie down to.
If you need a humidifier then I can recommend the one in the pictures from Amazon
Don't normally do this training technique so it's a bit new
Still dipping the bottom half the block I to a weak nutrient solution so the roots will be drawn down the block to air trim
Carrying on with the Lst with these 3 plants. Aren't a tall growing plant according to barneys...they seem slow in growth and so does my whole veg room...I think it's time for a bulb change as they are six months old now.
I've sat them on the spreader Matt as they have air trimmed enough now. I've filled the tank with a weak nutrient solution of canna aqua vega feed and ph'd it to around 6.0 to 6.2.
The pump only comes on a few minutes a day as i dont want saturate the blocks or the roots won't go searching for water
Doing the Lst on these has slowed me up...my rqs purple queen over took the V kush so these aint getting flowered just yet...I've sort of give up on the Lst as it's hard to do in these little blocks...I don't have an edge of a pot to tie down to...
I've turned these into odd looking plants I think but i have lots of branches ready to shoit off growing. I am holding these back til next Monday to flower to space out timing between crops.
I've sat these on spreader matt now and feed them twice a day for 15 mins on a timer
Moved into flowering room...I've sort of lst these plants to try and up my yeild even more. They look messy but have branches everywhere.I have trimmed them up a bit now they're on the flower tray and have a fairly even canopy which I hope i can keep like it during the stretch period.
These are on a staggered timer and get fed for 15 mins roughly 4 or 5 times during the daytime. The pump is off a night so the roots grow like mad and the blocks aren't saturated.
Doing well for first week in flowering tent. They've rooted in well.
I had Lst these 'sort of' but they aint looking to bad...got lots of branches and they're a fairly uniformed height so hopefully they'll carry on that way
Still on veg feed til I see a flower!
Not fast growers these ones although I do keep on hst these. I started out doing lst.
So they're just bushes at the minute lol
The flower is coming on now so changed the 40ltr tank for fresh water and feed as per feeding schedule above.
Coming along ok but starting to wish I didn't lst these. Only trying this to see if I can up my yeild
Changed the 40ltr tank of feed for fresh water/feed
Looking good but I'm holding off on the PK 13 14 til next week as I like to see more of a flower before I add it .
Will change the 40ltr tank for fresh feed and water and ph to around 5.8.
Lst I dont think was a good idea on these as they aren't a tall plant anyway!!!
These feel like they're taking forever to flower but its coming, no doubt all of a sudden they will swell...the leaves are quite dark on these so have cut their feed down slightly.
I shouldn't have bothered lst'ing these!!!
Definitely not a fan of lst training...i blame this for the size of my buds on 2 plants. 1 out of 3 plants is looking great with nice size buds but I think doing lst to these fucked them up.
I'm not sure if they liked canna feed either. I haven't over fed these but the leaves are really dark green which is a sign of over feeding....I had this when growing anything with bubba kush crossed into its genetics!
The middle plant with the nice size buds is thc'd up to the max
On reading Barneys write up this plant has a very high thc content so will be interesting to see when I get it lab tested.
Now flushing
Flushing with clean water...these are nearly done...still wishing I never bothered with lst method but sod all i can do about it now...I blame this for lack of bud on 2 out of 3 plants.
They are coated in trichomes 👍👏 and smell gorgeous
The colours are certainly coming through on these. Shame about the size of the buds though on 2 out of 3 plants. As I said in earlier weeks I think lst training has buggered these up as only one plant has normal looking buds. That or duff seeds🤷♂️
