Hi Fellas!
I Got these two clones around end of august and sent them into flowering on 10th novembre. They have been in 25L pots for 10 days before hitting the switch.
I had to cut them down quite often to keep them in a good size and then decided to do lst and scrog for the 10 days of veg before going into flowering.
The fertilization is biotabs system fertilizer which is basically a living soil system. I will only give water and let the soil do the rest.
I water these ladies once a week so far with 5L Tab Water. they seem happy so far.
Left side of tent: Watermelon Zkittlez
Right side of tent: Sherb Biker
Mid week of 2. week of flowering.
Ladys are doing great. stretch is a little bit stronger with the sherb biker then with the matermelonzkittlez.
I Had to give them more water then expexted allready so I switched from 5L per week given in one splash
to 5L water every 3-4 days. I allways let a bit of runoff come out
I tried to upload a video but it seems like its too big. I will keep trying tho
update: at the end of week 2 of flowering i gave them bio pk 5-8 10ml for each plant diluted into 1L of water
Middle of 3rd Week.
Sherb Biker is on the right side.
Watermelon Zkittlez is on the left side.
Both ladys are lookin really fine and doing really good.
I started taking off some leafs from the sherb biker everyday to cause some sort of low stress so that it eventually doesnt stretch any further.
Havent touched the Waterelon Zkittlez yet but will do a big defoiliation on day 21.
update is coming end of the week.
update (day 21 of flowering/end of 3. week):
I noticed some small brown spots on the sherb biker top fan leafs a few days ago.
I believe that a pre exisiting cal-mag deficiency came to breakout because I added a PK booster and therefore changed the dynamics of nutrients availble for uptake.
As a quick solution I reduced the ppfd from max 850 to 700 and gave both plants a cal/mag supplement which is biologically based.
Also I did the big defoiliation. Didnt really take off as much as I probably could have. Also i could have done more lollipopping.
Will try to apply these lessons learned to the next grow.
pps:
I also noticed some weirdly "burned" looking leafs on the more shaded leafs that where hidden in the last corner and that are pretty far away from the fans i put up for better aircirculation.
Im suspecting these leafs are either the old leafs from transistioning into the 25L living soil Pots that got slight nutrient burn at that time,
or....
mites -.-
not spidermites. but the ones that are practically invisible unless you use 100x zoom on a microscope.
gonna grab a microscope today and check the leafs and write what came out in the next diary entry.
Mid 4th week!
Gals are doing good since defoil on day 21.
The flowers are coming out everywhere now and smell is getting noticeable.
Since defoil I i can water one day later than before.
I gave them 10ml pk5-8 deluted in 1l water for each plant this week.
good news: I checked some leafs that seemed sus under a microscope and they are good.
no Mites visible with 100-150xzoom.
bad news: The cal-mag deficiency is slowly developing spots on the top leafs of the sherb biker.
I most likely cannot change that the sherb biker will now get more and more spots and start looking a lil bit messy at some point.....
but if im lucky giving them extra cal-mag every week and keeping the dli and ppfd at moderate numbers will slow it down enough to not have a negative impact on harvest quality and amount.
Girls are turning frosty and smelly since last week.
Seriously good looking buds :=)
soooo.....
I found some nanas on the downside of the Watermelon Zkittlez. I found 3 flowers with hermie traits. I decided to do a really small lollipop as the nanas showed up only where there is no light to reach the developing flower.
Idk. if its gonna be any good but i cant cut down both plants now. For now i turned down the fans and turned up the airsuction from the filter.
Maybe I found all nanas or maybe at least the pollen wont spread too much. anyways gon pull through till the end.
also I found out that my tab water has 10 times the amount of calcium that it has of magnesium. so now i need to think about actually filtering my water somehow to get back to a healthy ratio of 3:1 Cal:mag.
I havent quite yet figured out what i will do exactly so for this week i just keep giving water but also once a week cal:mag supplement.
will eventually buy a water filter at the end of the week.
besides these minor problems....girls are still lookin happy. vital growth. I believe this would be a perfect run if my Tab water was filtered from the beginning like recommended by biotabs.
4-5 weeks to go....
updates coming soon
Week 6
Ladys are looking good. Terpenes are starting to make clear profiles of each plant.
Watermelon Zkittlez is actually starting to smell like a certain chewing gum brand from childhood....watermelon chewing gum....yum.
Sherb biker smells very modern and Sherbert-esqe'.
Checked for nanas everyday but havent seen any new ones since.
Also i started giving tab water mixed 50/50 with destilled water.
gonna keep giving cal/mag supplement once a week.
This week i also add bio pk-5-8 10ml per plant diluted in the regular watering.
trying to keep humidity beneath 45% and get closer to the ideal VPD.
Fungus gnats are appearing again. very annoying. gonna try to order nematodes right away.
updates coming soon!
end of week 7
I was gone for a few days and when i came back the plants were smellier and more colorfull than ever.
WatermelonZkittlez is lookin really good. Probably done by end of week 9.
Sherb Biker is supposed to end flower approx. a week later. Suprisingly the Sherb Biker is fading faster than the watermelonzkittlez.
Might take down both plants at the same time just to make space for upcoming drying process and next grow cycle that im planning.
I managed to lower the humidity somehow. now its around 40-45% mostly.
This week i gave only water.
update coming next week again :==)
Mid week 8!
Watermelon Zkittlez is going fast! The buds are allready looking ripe af.
The whole Plant turned red/purple/dark basically over night.
Sherb Biker is slowly filling the gaps and also heading towards the end.
At this rate I will take both plants down at the end of week 9.
Watermelonzkittlez will then hopefully have max 50% amber trichomes and Sherb Biker maybe around 20-40%.
We will see if my planning is correct but so far.....lookin good.
I gave both plants Water + Plagron Green sesnsation 1ml per L this week.
From now on its just going to be water water water. lil drain with every watering as usual.
Pretty sure these plants are going to come out fire :=)
Beginning of week 9!
Last week of flowering!
Ladys are hella smelly. Hella Dank looking.
This grow has really just been smooth sailing so far. Though the Sherb Biker can definitly go a bit longer, I also see how quick its fading.
So I dont feel bad at all taking both plants down at the same time.
next update will be harvest!
End of week 9 / beginning of week 10 / Harvest!
We made it!
Finally reached the end of this grow.
Ladys were just fading in the past days since my last diary entry.
Cutting these Plants down and getting them out that net that i used for lst and scrogging was just super exhausting but totally worth it.
Big beauty Plants. very sticky.
Drying process beginning at 20c now.
50% humidity.
update coming after drying
