Even after less than 2 weeks of curing, this is already tasting very good. The effect is a very strong body stone which makes your whole body vibrate. At the same time you feel quite happy and peaceful. The day after is even better: I feel very relaxed and have a sizzling feeling from head to toes. Absolutely recommended. Grows more or less by herself. Great for treating insomnia and pain.
At least 8/10, might even become better after being fully cured.
Hindu Kush was harvested on day 79. Buds are rock hard and trichomes mostly cloudy. At least this is how I interpret it. Still having a hard time checking the state of the trichomes. It seems just taking photos and then checking the magnification is what works best for my old eyes. If somebody thinks that I'm wrong and trichomes are not cloudy but clear, I would be happy to learn, so I have something to compare for the next time.
Yield seems to be bigger than expected. It definitely will be more than Shiva Skunk. I do not weigh the wet plant as I do not really enjoy fiddling with this extremely sticky stuff. So expect an update in a week or so. I expect six to seven days of drying. With a new heat wave approaching it might even be faster.
Am I right that the brown spots on one of the plants are an indication of calcium and/or magnesium deficiency? I ordered some CalMag Extra from Advanced Nutrients; should arrive soon. Would/should I apply this only one time or add to the regular feeding schedule?
Hi @Buddha2! Yes it seems so. You can add a slight dose of Cal/Mag in every waterings, until the issue is solved. In order to prevent such issue to appear, next time add Cal/Mag once a week into your feedings. Hope this will help, happy growing!
Does anybody know what the white tops are? Can be seen clearly on pictures 14 and 19 of week 13. I thought it might be light burn maybe, but it looks too healthy. I also noticed that they start to turn green after some days. Just being curious...
This phenomenon happens sometimes under led. It is not light burn or bleaching as a lot of people claim. They havent figured out why it happens but the white buds have been tested. They have a much higher thc and terpine content than the rest of the plant. So in other words you are a lucky mofo! Lol Enjoy them.
Hey man.
I'll be starting my first grow in a week or so, in very similar conditions so your journal has been a real help and inspiration.
I have a 100x100x180 tent and, dispite the space problems you had, I'm still gonna try to grow 4 plants. I hope I don't regret it.
Kudos to you for the way you solved the problems that you had. I hope I can do the same.
Thank you and happy growing!
@SommPT, thanks! I think four plants sounds perfect for your tent. It is bigger than mine and should fit fine for your setup. And I would not call it "problems" when plants grow bigger than expected ๐
@Buddha2, after reading through loads of grows I was hoping for about 10-15g per plant worst case scenario with it being first grow and hopefully looking like I might surpass it?
But wow that superskunk is a beast and I'm definitely going to try that! If I get 1/2 of what you did I'll be delighted ๐
@Cheezy_G, indeed, I almost cannot believe it! My goal was 200g (50g per plant) with the secret hope to reach 300g. And now it's almost double the amount! (about 4g sacrificed to the evil god of mold). I must be dreaming...
Interesting about the difference between the two types of soil...just out of curiosity, are they the same declared PH? And has the cheap one also nutrients included?
Anyway, your plants look really nice and healthy - good luck with the grow! ๐
@Buddha2, ok, I see...I was just wondering if there is any major difference in the declared properties because the diff between the plants is really huge.
Just FYI, each package of any commercially sold soil should contain info about approximate PH levels (like interval of 6-7) or at least as far as I could see, they had the info on the package.
Cheers and happy growing mate! ๐
@Butrus, I do not know very much about this cheap soil; it is some standard stuff from the garden center for tomatoes and herbs. It is probably only slightly prefertilized if at all, whereas the BioBizz Allmix is heavily fertilized. I also never in my life measured any pH or EC values. I was expecting so see some difference, but I would not have thought that it is that drastic. Anyway, my plants seem to love this soil, so I'm quite happy. Thanks!
Hey, I read where you are looking for something different for your feeding.
I use botanicare cal mag plus and it has been a game changer for me.
While in veg I use that with Alaska organic fish nutrients and have had no problems since (b4 this I used fox farm and stayed with ugly deficiencies and horrible yields).
As she went into flower I switched to advanced nutrients big bud and bud candy organic which I LOVE combined with flower fuel bud builder (which is good to start in veg).
My current grow is the first I've had with all happy green plants rather than the yellow and brown leaves we always experienced in the past.
Your tent is beautiful
@MomnPoppaSeed, thanks! I'm only looking for an organic alternative to the CaliMagic I have been using. In general I was very happy how BioBizz has worked for me. It is just one plant again in my new grow that shows those symptoms. I'm not really convinced it is Calcium deficiency, though.
