Kannabia Candy Cream Go Fast - Biotabs

kohlrabi The end of the year was more than exhausting, especially mentally, and we have cut back on our cannabis consumption a little to have enough energy and clarity for the challenges ahead. That's why there are only two plants in the grow tent this time instead of three. I hope this will allow me to take better care of each of the ladies. It also gives them more space at the end of the grow. At the end of the first week, I transplanted the seedlings into their final pots. There they also have the usual Bio Tabs ingredients: Startrex, Silicium Flash, and Mycotex directly on the roots. I added Bactrex to the first thorough watering. And of course - two bio tabs per pot. In my last grow, I used recycled soil that I prepared with a lot of effort, but it turned out to be a lot of extra work, because it contained all kinds of seeds and animals. This time, new soil with pumice. I will use recycled soil in the garden, but not again in the box. So far, so good.

kohlrabi I'm quite behind. My husband is ill and has been in hospital for a long time, so I have to manage everything at home on my own. Not so easy with two children. Please forgive me if I don't write here on time for the time being. I'll catch up on everything eventually. By the second week at the latest, it became clear to me that something was wrong with this plant. At first, I blamed it on a nematode infection, which I then diligently combated by watering it with nematodes. But as we will see in the next entry, this only made things worse... To be continued.

kohlrabi Unfortunately, I missed a week. As I said, things were chaotic at home – I can't be too hard on myself for that. Still, a pity. I think an unconscious reason for the missing photo last week was the disastrous development of this plant here. As you can see, the leaves are completely stunted. I plucked up the courage to ask an experienced grower what the problem might be, and she told me that the problem was with the roots. I suspect it was overwatering. Because of the terrible fungus gnats infestation, I watered nematodes several times – and certainly poured too much water on the plant in the process. Fortunately, it's a photoperiod plant. I'm letting the veg period run a little longer than planned so that it can recover.

kohlrabi Allowing the plant to dry out completely and now only watering it from below has really helped. Although the necrotic leaves have not recovered, the new growth looks normal. I have removed the unsightly damaged foliage, topped the plant and started LST. I will probably make the switch next week or the week after next. The plant is small, but I have to be careful not to let my other plant become too big.

kohlrabi At last, our little plant is visibly on the mend. My husband is still in hospital and everything that isn't essential to running the household is on the back burner. Luckily, I have automatic watering via wick, otherwise the poor plants would surely have died by now. This week, I treated them both to some BoomBoom spray and today I switched the the lighting to 12/12 to initiate the flowering phase. :: Discount code for the BIOTABS Webshop https://biotabs.nl/en/shop/ GDBT420 This gives you 15 Percent off all the products.

kohlrabi Day 50. I finally got around to choose Lego for the two plants. Otherwise, a pleasantly uneventful week.

kohlrabi Once again a very short update: The plants look good. Even though I switched the light 9 days ago, no sight of flowering yet. That's fine, girls, take your time.

kohlrabi The flowering phase has finally begun. The plants are developing magnificently, so I felt like doing a little beautification work, or more precisely, kneading. Other than that, I only gave them water; everything else is already in the soil.

kohlrabi Compared to Sunset Sherbet, this lady is a little behind, but that's not surprising given the problems she had in the early stages. She's still growing, which I'm very pleased about. And the initial problems have completely disappeared. Apart from taking these photos, I haven't done anything in the grow box this week except make sure the reservoir doesn't run dry.

kohlrabi An uneventful week. :) Just some growth.

kohlrabi The plant has incredibly thick stems and the flowers are developing well, but due to the early problems, the plant is relatively small. I’m expecting a small to medium-sized harvest. But there’s still a while to go before then. As this plant is also starting to show pale leaves in the centre, I’ve given it a small dose of fertiliser too and am now paying even closer attention to how I water it.

kohlrabi I suppose I have to admit that this self-watering system isn’t working as well as I’d hoped. Or rather – if I’d looked after it properly, the results would certainly have been good. Unfortunately, I haven’t cleaned the reservoir once in the past few weeks. I’m afraid the water in there has gone off – the roots that have pushed through the bottom holes of the pot have turned dark, and there was obviously a more serious watering problem at some point. That’s the time where a certain friend of mine will try to persuade me to get some Autopots. Maybe I’ll do that. But I’d have to look after those properly too. One difference from my low-tech system here is that the water reservoir of the AutoPots isn’t open. That means there’s less algae growth, I’m sure. But still – it always comes down to the fact that I can’t currently devote enough time to looking after the plants. Please bear with me a little longer; better times are coming. I skipped a week because there was nothing to report – and I didn’t have the time. And not Lego, either... My apologies!

kohlrabi Week 17, Day 113. I’m just not cut out for photo-plants. I don’t have nearly enough patience – not even for the ‘fast’ versions. But the plants are nearing the end, at least. The buds are thick, but incredibly leafy. It’s not going to be fun cutting them. The smell is promising.
