BBM - Tasty Terps

PharmaZ Really looking forward to this Blueberry Muffin. Tried some on holiday in Tenerife it was beautiful in smell taste and effect

PharmaZ The Nutrients I use are for a Syngenic approach. Syngenics a new word to me is a combination of Organic and Synthetic, to me this provides the best of both worlds especially when growing in a medium like Coco. Ive tried a lot of different methods and this one just works for me keeping it simple. For the veg period I like to use Canna A/B as a base then add Green Buzz Liquids as an additive and PH stabilizer. Once in mid flower I drop the Canna A/B and continue only with the Organic Green Buzz Liquids. This has worked for me and I’ve had great results. Ive also done whole grows start to finish without measuring PH or EC that could be because of my water quality and nutrient quality but nevertheless it makes things a whole lot easier and less stressful when you don’t have to adjust up or down or worry about the strength of your feed. I can go into more detail with my feeding as time goes on. __________________________________________ Tuesday 2nd June Transplanted into pure Cana coco amended with Eco Thrive insect frass and a sprinkle of Great White Shark Mycorrhiza. I’ve used Mycos the brand in the past with great results but couldn’t get any for a good price so I had a smaller portion of GWS Watered in with 2ml/L Canna A/B 1ml/L Organic Grow Liquid 2ml/L More Roots

PharmaZ Sunday 7th June 6pm Lowered the light measured ppfd on Photone 360ppfd Mixed half tsp of Mycorr hydro and living organics in first gave a good mix 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Organic grow liquid ___________________________________________ Thurs 11th June 4am Topped the BBM Raised light an inch or 2 as they looked stressed may lift it a little more. The leaves looked dry they hadn’t been watered in 3 days and the fan has been blowing on the tops. Rearrange a bit so they can recover. 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1m/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots

PharmaZ Sun 14th June 6pm Topped BBM Been letting them dry back a good amount for root growth, added some growzyme to the mix which has helped them recover from stress. 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1m/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots 2ml/L - Growzyme Thurs 18th June 4pm 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots 2ml/L - Growzyme 1.3EC Sat 20th June 3am Trimmed the lower leaves and branches, all big fan leaves came off too. 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots 2ml/L - Growzyme

PharmaZ Sun 20th June 10pm After feeding applied a top dress of EcoThrive and some living organics rubbed it into the surface. 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots 2ml/L - Growzyme 2ml/L - Nirvana Tues 22nd June 3am 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots 2ml/L - Growzyme Tues 23rd June 6am 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots 2ml/L - Growzyme Thurs 25th June 3am 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots 2ml/L - Growzyme Friday 26th June 5pm 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots 2ml/L - Nirvana Saturday 27th June 5pm Defoliation of lower leaves and nodes, also some leaves pointing toward the center of the plant Added a little extra kelp product Green Buzz Liquid Growzyme to help with the stress from pruning, this product is a must absolute staple in my garden. Added a small amount of Peroxide to increase oxygen in the root zone after the heat wave the tent temps went up to 96f I have also been feeding almost everyday, the water in the root zone will not stay cool for long, within a few hours it will reach the tent temps recipe for root rot without dry backs. This small amount of Hydrogen Peroxide will not affect the microbe population. I inoculate every 1-2 weeks, adding Living organics, Great white shark and EcoThrive to the surface of the coco after a watering making sure to massage in. 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 0.5ml/L - H2o2 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots 4ml/L - Growzyme

PharmaZ Sunday 28th June (Day 1) Flipped flower 🌺 Tues 30th June (day 3) Light Turned up to 75% lifted to 70cm from canopy, will observe the stretch to try and minimize as much as possible. Trimmed some leaves off the cheese blocking central growth and airflow 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 2ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots Measured the PPFD & DLI using the Photone app DLI - 28 PPFD - 500-600 Thurs 2nd July (day 5) 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 2ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - More Roots Sat 4th July (day 7) 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 2ml/L - Organic grow liquid 2ml/L - Growzyme

PharmaZ Sun 12th July (day 15) Lights on🌺 Planning of a big defoliation later closer to the end of the lights on period so she can recover lights off. Also reduced light intensity to 75% to reduce heat for a few days. 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 2ml/L - Canna A&B 2ml/L - Organic bloom liquid 1ml/L - Nirvana 2ml/L - Growzyme EC1.2 PH? Monday 13th July (day 16) Defoliated massively, scissors dipped in 3% H2o2 between cuts, I removed pretty much all undergrowth that looked pointless. Also measured the light distance It’s 60cm @ 75% will be playing with that soon raising and increasing intensity back up to 85% Tues 14th July (day 17) 5am Unfortunately I have sporadic waterings as I’m working nights I’ve been finishing late recently so schedule is all off. However I have reduced the amount of Base Canna A&B by 50% and also made sure to give a really good heavy watering to try and displace as much excess out as much out of the pot as possible with a higher dose of Kelp to help remineralise excess Raised light 60cm down to 75% Check PPFD/DLI Increase intensity and by day 21 have it around 700-800 in the centre of the tent 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 1ml/L - Canna A&B 2ml/L - Organic bloom liquid 1ml/L - Nirvana 2ml/L - Growzyme EC1.0 PH? Weds 15th July (day 18) Light 40-50cm 80% 500-680ppfd Thurs 16th July (day 19) She’s already frosting the leaves up hopefully that’s a good sign 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 1ml/L - Canna A&B 2ml/L - Organic bloom liquid 0.5ml/L - Big Bud Coco 2ml/L - Growzyme 2ml/L - Big Fruits EC1.1 PH?

PharmaZ Sat 18th July (day 21) Had a bit of tip burn on this lady directly after feeding, the coco had fully dried out due to my sporadic watering patterns. I went back over her with some organics only to the BBM bloom liquid and Growzyme@ 2ml/L put 2L through her straight after the feed below… 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 1ml/L - Canna A&B 2ml/L - Organic bloom liquid 1ml/L - Big Bud Coco 1ml/L - Nirvana 1ml/L - Big Fruits EC1.2 Sun 19th July (day 22) 0.5ml/L - MagneCal+ 1ml/L - Humic Acid Plus 2ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Big Bud Coco 0.5ml/L - Organic bloom liquid 2ml/L - Growzyme EC1.22 PH5.9 Tues 21st July (day 24) 5am I had to get this in as quick as possible each plant had 2L at 5am, checked at 8am looks ok, but now I’m sure it’s a calcium deficiency caused by too much PK. EC1.4 run off isn’t to high, Ph is a little high though. Tomorrow will be a flush with a normal dose of Calmag Ph corrected 2.5ml/L - Canna A&B (1.1EC) 1ml/L - Big Bud 1ml/L - Big Fruits 1.3EC PH6.2 Weds 22nd July (day 25) 3am Put 10L through the pots, looked like the leaves perked up, I have a nutrient lockout and precipitation between Calcium and phosphorus, I believe the PH was too high and although I was adding Cal-Mag at 0.5ml/L should have upped that to 1ml/L in the flower stretch. Plus sporadic watering and warm weather - Run off BBM 6.2 EC2.0 - Run off Cheese 5.8 EC2.0 1g - Great white 1g - TNC myco 1g - living organics 1ml/L - Humic Acid 1ml/L - Calmag (EC580) 1ml/L - Canna A&B (EC1.0) 0.5-0.8ml/L More Pk (EC1.2) 2ml/L Clean fruits PH6.0 EC1.2 Thurs 23rd July (day 26) 3am Put another 10L through the pits brought the EC down to 1.4 at one point I was seeing 2.4 coming out, so I’m pretty sure there was a lockout and salt build up. If I hadn’t had the major dry backs things would be different but now I’m having to correct PH and EC. Over all things are ok but I know I’m teetering on the edge of catastrophe. I will continue to do low EC big volume feeds to bring the EC right down and “reset”before go back in with PK and boosters 1ml/L - Calmag 0.5ml/L - Canna A&B 0.5ml/L - Growzyme 2ml/L clean fruits PH5.8 EC1.0

PharmaZ Saturday 25th July (day 28) 9pm This time I could be home at lights on so they will have a mixed feed with a little PK. EC still low and will be upping the base nutrients starting tomorrow. 0.5ml/L - Nirvana 0.5ml/L - Calmag 1ml/L - Canna A&B 0.5ml/L - Big Bud 0.5ml/L - Big Fruits 0.5ml/L - Growzyme PH5.8 EC1.1 Run off BBM PH6.5 EC0.9 Run off Cheese PH6.5 EC0.7 Sunday 26th July (day 29) 9pm 5L of nutrients made. It is nice to be able to feed when the lights come on makes a massive difference in my management of this grow. Hopefully fingers crossed and praying to God we can get to harvest. In a few weeks i have some time off so i can really try to dial it all in. 1ml/L - Nirvana 0.5ml/L - Calmag 1.5ml/L - Canna A&B 0.2ml/L - Big Bud 0.5ml/L - Big Fruits 1ml/L - Humic Acid Plus PH5.8 EC1.2 Run off BBM PH6.5 EC1.3 Run off Cheese PH6.5 EC0.9 Wednesday 29th July (day 32-39) 1ml/L - Organic Bloom Liquid 2ml/L - Big Bud 1ml/L - Big Fruits 1ml/L - Fast Buds 2ml/L - Humic Acid Plus PH6.2 EC0.9 Run off BBM PH6.5 EC1.2 Run off Cheese PH6.5 EC1.1 The above feed is to offset the nitrogen in the coco. I have been adding EcoThrive charge too much which has cause lockout due to excess nitrogen in the soil, at first I thought it could have been PK but some research and listening to Brandon Rust I have come to my conclusion that it is a nitrogen toxicity. I was adding far too much organic microbes and supplements. Basically nitrogen locked out Calmag that caused tip burn, the plants or on the edge of a nitrogen toxicity but because they’re in Coco and have had a mixture of organic and synthetic the organic side has acquired to much nitrates locking out calcium to the tips of the leaves The BBM has had tip burn the cheese looks too green, both are dark green but the Cheese has more foliage to store the nitrogen hence why little tip burn but more of a vegetative colour, the BBM has hardly any fan leaves left after a strip early in flower. I also think I defoliated too early, but then to second guess I believe if I didn’t feed to much organics the flowers would be much further along. After the previous 2 feeds I can notice the buds picking back up again. Hopefully I can continue with this mix I’m using now and get some consistent bud growth over the next week. I’ll be glad when this one is over. The summer heatwaves are just tiring when you’re growing especially in coco. I remember years ago I had issues like this and I said to myself never start a grow in the summer… https://www.youtube.com/live/qbeT6JAbMe4?is=QqnXHUBAE09fLDUQ Thursday 30th July (day 33) 1ml/L - Organic Bloom Liquid 1ml/L - Big Bud 2ml/L - Big Fruits 1ml/L - Fast Buds 2ml/L - Humic Acid Plus PH6.2 EC0.7 Run off BBM PH6.49 EC1.2 Run off Cheese PH6.47 EC1.0 Messed up my measurements a little and only realised after. Big Bud I only put 1ml/L and big fruits I did 2ml/L should have been the other way round… Otherwise looking ok, returned home the temp was 35c and humidity 78% that is not good… Tomorrow I will try to get everything In order again, still going to feed this current program for another week, then I will go back to a more balanced feed using more organics for the final push. Friday 31st July (day 34) 1ml/L - Organic Bloom Liquid 2ml/L - Big Bud 2ml/L - Big Fruits 1ml/L - Fast Buds 2ml/L - Humic Acid Plus PH6.0 EC0.9) Run off BBM PH6.49 EC1.3 Run off Cheese PH6.47 EC1.0 Saturday 1st August (day 35) 2am Scraped the top layer of coco exposing roots, applied some great white after doing another flush and feed. As you can see I’m imputing a low EC and the run off is gradually spiking up everyday. Only way to reduce it is to do massive amounts of nutrients. Note to self, make sure the timer is set up so I can be home for lights on watering. Never grow in the summer in coco again. 2ml/L - Organic Bloom Liquid 2ml/L - Big Bud 3ml/L - Big Fruits 1ml/L - Growzyme PH5.9 EC1.1 Run off BBM PH6.35 EC1.8 Run off Cheese PH6.35 EC1.3 2nd time Run off BBM PH6.25 EC1.8 Run off Cheese PH6.2 EC1.1

PharmaZ Tuesday 4th August (day 38) 2-4am Heavy flushing EC keeps rising PH hasn’t come down below 2 after heavy watering and light feeding. I’m resorting to a reset flush now put roughly 15L of 1.0EC nutrient mix just Calmag and A&B through each pot and finished off with a Balanced feed for day 38 0.5ml/L - Calmag 1ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Big Bud 2ml/L Clean fruits PH5.6 EC Have removed the plant stands so I can bottom feed them extra when the lights are off, or if I can’t be home in time for watering. I’ve reduced light intensity when it’s too hot, battling high humidity. As you can see they are surviving they are a dark green colour and bud development has been super slow due to all the issues when growing in summer. I shouldn’t have had dry backs early flower should have just soaked them and worked with the humidity. Lessons learned as always with growing it’s never just plain sailing. I might knock the pure coco on the head and start adding perlite again in the winter. May get the autopots out haven’t decided yet.
