Training the new growth toward the pot edges. Leaf color is dark green in typical Indica fashion First time getting nutrients. using Dyna-grow Protekt added first primarily to adjust my ph up.( It will send 5.8 distilled water up to about 8.5) Then adding the rest of the nutes/enzyme it's comes out in the 6.3 range. Dyna-grow recommends using this product as a stand alone silica additive it supposedly needs a high ph to keep it in solution. It has a higher silica % than most of the products out there so I figure I'm still getting some of the benefits of the product regardless. Take notice I'm now mixing up in gallon jugs. Used about 1/2 gallon per pot or until I get 10% runoff 1st watering of the week only. Runoff ph seemed low at 5.7 so I added 1 Tbsp. Epsoma pelletized lime lightly stirred into the top inch of soil and added a little extra feed water. Letting top inch of soil dry a bit between watering days. Only watering 1/4 gallon every other day or as needed using nutrients with every watering. I am not watering to the point of creating any runoff. Lowered led lights to 16". Using a par meter measuring a range of 400-550 umoles. With the exception of slow poke, all started showing pistils by the end of the week.
Depends on what the trichomes look like. If there's a nice mix. I'm going for 95% cloudy/ milky /5% turning amber. Even after harvest they will still ripen a few more days. I'm sure some will still be half cloudy also. I'll look specifically at both the older trichomes deep inside the buds and the older bud growth. Some of the newer bud growth near the end can fake you out a bit. I'm using a lighted 40x jewelers loupe from amazon it work perfect.
Truely beautiful work all the way through trimming and drying.
The nuggets looks so perfect, Patience and passionate. I can learn from your diary but can never hope achieve this level of meticulous care.
@Med_in_Tropic, Thanks This is whats great about this site we have access to all this great info. We learn from each other. All your grows are coming along well looking forward to seeing a harvest from you in a few weeks.
Hi your plants look good, I am a first time grower I tried to grow before and my plants died. Now I have a better understanding of what is takes. Now question I bought advanced nutrients micro grow and bloom when should I start using micro?
@Philindicus, Thai police is prosecuting weed with a vengeance. So I am learning these techniques.
For example, we can’t host sow weed directly in the ground and hang them up in the shed after all is done.
I think the most difficult of us is the techniques on caring for seedlings and vegging. Most people here never pay attention to grow light and light hours. We are used to having sun and rain.
I am still on my first grow and I look for setup details that I can learn from.
Excellent grow, excellent journaling and excellent results! Well done! 👌 Will be following you in future grows as I like ur style and u seem to have the green magic touch.
Thanks for sharing with such detail, lots to learn so its greatly appreciated. Going through your weeks, trying to see what i can do to help grow my own ladies :)
