Zurple punch BX Calo_ZZ cut

Calo Welcome to this new grow. For this cycle, I've chosen to grow four Zurple Punch BX clones and their mother, selected by me from an in-house genetics package. I'm using a single 300L (80 gal) pot containing BioBizz Light Mix, 20% BioBizz worm castings, 13g/L Lurpe Farmer Mix, and inoculant containing rhizobacteria, mycorrhizae, and trichoderma. I've just installed the scrog netting, and in the next few days, I'll spread the branches out to cover every corner of the grow tent.

Calo In the third week, the plants began to grow very quickly and with incredible vigor. With all the nutrients in the soil and a very extensive and complex microbial fauna, cannabis plants are capable of growing at an extremely high rate. At this stage, I'm watering with about 20L every 7 days, adding only mycorrhizal and trichoderma inocula. I continued to fill the netting until I was satisfied with the amount of space occupied by the plants. On day 21 of vegetative growth, I then performed a very drastic cleansing of the plants by defoliating and lollipopping. After carrying out the training, I changed the light cycle to 12/12 to enter the flowering phase!

Calo We have finally entered the flowering stage, the plants are now free to grow upwards and continue to grow at a relentless pace. At this stage I continue to give water enriched with microorganisms (rhizobacteria, mycorrhizae and trichoderma) approximately 25 litres per week

Calo We're in the second week of flowering, and the stretching period has begun. This cut in flowering phase is growing very quickly and can triple in height in about three weeks with the right nutrients. For now, my strategy continues as in the first week: I'll only give them water enriched with microorganisms and let them grow without any stress.

Calo We're starting to get into the thick of things. The plants have almost reached their full height and are starting to fill with gorgeous buds along all the branches. Resin production has finally begun, and the plants are starting to smell like candy🤩. At this stage, I've started defoliating and cleaning the bottom of the plant, removing all the small buds that aren't getting enough light. I'm continuing to water with microorganism-enriched water, about 25 liters every 5 days. They're drinking a lot at this stage, so I've increased the watering frequency.

Calo It's starting to snow in the box, and the strawberry candy smells are getting stronger :) By the fourth week, the plants have reached their final height. I had to attach the light to the ceiling of the box to get the right DLI value. I defoliated again because there wasn't enough air circulation and light penetration. I added a second netting that will serve as a support to keep the branches in place. On day 28, I started to notice a very slight magnesium deficiency, which will be solved by making a compost tea rich in kelp, diatoms, and azomite. I'll make 7 liters of it, which will then be diluted in an additional 20 liters of water after fermentation and used for irrigation.
