CBDbusho Plant sprouted on 28.01.2019

CBDbusho Plant is growing relatively slow so far

CBDbusho —

CBDbusho I think flowering started on day 27

CBDbusho My math seems to be working good. 0.8l every evening and the leaves are up, praying to light:) I shaped the main stem with LST into spiral and the result is only 23cm plant with about 10 branches shooting up. I hope the aggressive LST will not promote the growth of these branches too much as I don’t have too much vertical space left

CBDbusho Day 39 Up to week 5 the leaves were deep green. Now they started to change colour to pale green and a tip burn started around day 39. Most of petioles turned purple but they are not woody, So it might be normal for this strain. Day 42 Tip burn is spreading to other leaves, more and more of them becoming pale green. Started watering with pure water with cal mag added. Also started spraying cal mag on leaves. I’m not convinced that it is calcium and magnesium deficiency because the veins are pale green as well.

CBDbusho Day 46 Fifth day of just water with Calmag with nitrogen and iron. The tip burn is still getting worse. Leaves seems to be even more pale, although the buds are growing.

CBDbusho Start of week 8, now not only tips are rusty but also edges of the leaves. Part of the problem was wrong 90 deg lense on my main light: Optic 1. Now changed it to 120 deg which gives more scattered, less intense light. On my next grow I will probably use a bit bigger pot. Resumed normal feeding of 1ml/l of grow and doubled the bloom to 4ml/l as per biobizz schedule plus 1ml calmag and topmax. Also switched to “till run off” method of watering which means 2.5l every 2 days as now I think underfeeding and slight underwatering was my main problem. I think now, so close to the harvest (1-3 weeks) I can’t really harm the plant much although I have noticed the browning of not only the tips and edges but also nearly the whole surface of some leaves, but that started during “water & calmag only” days and can be natural at this stage

CBDbusho Decided to have a staged harvest. For now I’ve just chopped off the very top of the main cola:)

CBDbusho I’m flushing it with just water now. This weeks photos are after pre-harvesting of around 50g of wet bud:) I’m planning to harvest more next week and let the rest to flower for another week

CBDbusho Harvested a few more tops, the big harvest probably next week

CBDbusho Harvested half of the buds already. Planning to let the lower buds develop a bit for the next week or two and resumed nutrition for a week now because I definitely started flushing it with water way too early.

CBDbusho Harvested 2/3 of the buds already. The total dry weight from the whole plant might be a couple of ounces, to be confirmed soon:)

CBDbusho I think, as it was my first grow in a really tiny cabinet, it is a huge success with a total yield of 2.4 oz from a single plant:)
