Sprouted 1st of June -
Ok firstly I would like to say sorry to my friend Enrico as he specifically advised me on a good growing mix
I have used a very strange mix from the leftovers of my bags of soil, coco and perlite but it’s all gone now so I used some perlite to add more volume and also a much higher amount of Coco than recommended...
the Ratio is as follows:
Canna Terra Professional 50%
Canna Coco Professional+ 40%
Perlite 10%
I pre “cooked” the soil using a pack containing beneficial bacterial, from GREEN BUZZ LIQUIDS I added 2g to bubbled water then fed 1L to each pot.
I then mixed the soil well with my hands and left it 4 days.
2 days after preparing soil I germinated 4 different strains/seeds using the paper towel method 100%.
It took a further 2 days for a reasonable taproot to show planted them all.
*Watered daily with 60-100ml of plain water*
———————————————————
7th June - Day 7 pictures taken, The fun begins!!! watered with 1L to each plant containing
More roots 2ml/L
Humic Plus 2ml/L
Liquid Grow 2ml/L
June 10th Day 10 - this is going to be easy till we get to day 32 ^ lol
Watered with 500ml to each plant, Just to give them a little drink to keep them going!
My aim is to let the roots continue searching at the bottom of the pot where more of a moisture build up. So I will only be watering with small amounts <1L till that root mass has developed... could be wrong could be right, that’s how I’m doing it and all is well. Expect it to take me till day 20ish before i need to soak the pots
June 14th Day 14 -
Hands down to the floor GREEN BUZZ LIQUIDS are the best nutrients I have used from a bottle in a long time.
There are only a few I can think of that I have really felt like I could trust what it says in the information VS RESULTS!!
Seriously crazy growth, excited to see what bud development looks like using this line of nutrients! If it’s anything like the growth period look out!!
💧Watered again with just 500ml plain water to each plant
Another week has passed and the vigor has continued. I would like to say in full force but it hasn’t, due to PH issues.
I guess I really need to treat this soil more like coco.
It’s needed more frequent watering because of the extra Coco in the medium. And a lower PH of 6-6.2
Since the last update I’ve watered every time with nutrients. From the 3rd week
2ml/l Liquid Grow
2ml/l Humic acid Plus
2ml/l More roots
———————————————————
23rd June - Watering today I added another 2g living organics & 1ml/l canna cal mag as we’re in soil but with a large % coco all into bubble water with above nutrients.
I will add the above ratios again before I stop more roots and reduce liquid grow.
Overall Green Buzz Organics are great and really enjoy the future using this line, excited to see what bud production will be like :)
———————————————————
26th June - watered today 1.5L pretty much no run off just what came out the sides of the pot really.
This saves watering and builds up a good amount of usable nutrients in the soil!
I will be flushing next water will be just plain water till I get a good run off I’m interested to know what the PH and EC of each plant.
Maybe a Beneficial tea using Living Organics!
The feed today consisted of:
1ml/L Canna Calmag
1ml/L More roots
2ml/L Humic Acid+
1ml/L Liquid Grow
2ml/L Liquid Bloom
2ml/L Fast Buds
Bubbled the water whilst adding nutrients left for 30min
Ph adjusted using Ph up to 6.5
EC around 1.5
The feed Smells like a fruit cocktail.
**I did notice some small black flys, killed a few fungus gnats. Got some yellow traps in there now**
Zambeza’s Misty Gorilla has a great shape for LST I’ve been Lazy last few grows haven’t paid much attention, I’ve let the apical stem stretch higher every time, nevertheless she has a nice shape and great shaped leaves I’m expecting some DANK buds!!
June 28th - week 5 Day 28
Watered today with additional 1ml/L canna Calmag.
Flower production is in full swing now. I’m looking forward to the results using the flowering formulas of GBL
____________________________
July 1st - Day 31
Water is currently bubbling in the tent.
I added only boosters:
1ml/L More Roots
2ml/L Humic Acid plus
1ml/L Big Fruits
Plus a handful of earth worm castings to the water I will let it bubble for 12ish hours before watering.
6th July - Day 36 💧Watered using a beneficial bacteria and fungi mix. This was to flush the nutrient build up in the soil/coco mix. Next time I’m definitely using the 90% soil with a 10% addition of coco.
Not knocking coco at all it’s a real wonder to grow in. If you have the right access to water. I can’t water as frequently as required and I haven’t got the patience for hydro.
If I ever move to a suitable location I will build my dream set up and things will be brighter I’m sure.
But for now we’re doing just fine. A little bit of nutrient burn is nothing in the light of things.
Green Buzz Liquids are stronger than expected, at some point it looked like I was having a little N toxicity. I backed off with grow liquid completely and tried to adjust things in the soil by feeding just the boosters. I used full dose of PK although we’re past the stretch we’re using autoflowers that are only small and with the high temps (30c) due to summer... it was a Nutrient Burn Festival in my tent!!
I will say this, the lady’s are handling the heat extremely well!! I’ve opened the tent 32c and they just look so happy, ok yes we have a little leaf curl at edges but that’s only on the girl directly under the Lamp!
Some of the products from GBL are aiding in high heat situations. Once the buds swell up I may have to turn light down to 250w in last week or so. Don’t want to melt the THC smell/taste/effect.
Conclusion to the nutrient burn:
After flushing the medium
I was seeing readings close to 2.0EC in organic that is just too high. Probably down to salt build up from not watering the coco well enough. PH coming out the bottom of pots was 6.1/6.2 I’m guessing that it’s still too low even though we’re probably looking at 50/50 coco/soil. PH6.4/6.5 should be perfect as it’s an organic bio life I’ve been trying to create since starting. Lots of plans for the future. Thanks to anyone that stops in, feel free to link me to your grow if you want to share!✌️🏻
July 14th Day 44 - I’m currently growing 3 strains the all from Zambeza Seeds, all Autos and Doing great!
Can’t be happy enough considering I work 60+ hours a week and have a little family (my son) growing as well :)
so a little neglect is understandable in my situation right?!.
Personally I’m very happy with the results regardless of the look of them my grows always look pale and burnt.
But I assure you nice buds do come from bad looking leaves haha
Next time with theses nutrients, in soil I’m hoping for a different result :)
Ph 6.2 Ec 1300
10L water added:
- 2ml/L Humic Acid Plus
- 2ml/L Liquid Bloom
- 2ml/L Big Fruits
- 1ml/L Liquid Pk
July 26th Day 56 - I wanted to update showing the use of Big Fruits! And the changes from the last update are “like it says on the tin... BIG FRUITS!!”
some good THC Development, development, not too many stalked bulbous headed trichomes just yet, I’m going to add some more microbes and hormones in the last week.
The leaves looking sickly but no problem to me.
These buds will taste better than anything I’ve had before at this rate so don’t judge a book by a cover in this case :)
The smell is incredible it’s like a sweet fragrant creamy soap smell.
(CLEAN BUDS - this is my second time using it and again it works very well. Imagine this, the plant is full of nutrients because there was too much in the soil/coco. Use CLEAN FRUITS + plain water 1 or 2 times too will be able to taste the leaves after and NO SALT TASTE)
August 5th Day 65 - Lets start on the subject of the Strain Zambeza - Misty Gorilla
Definitely a 10* Auto. It gave me everything.
- Strong Growth
- Bog Buds
- Stinks
- Looks appealing
- Dense and not too much leaf
- Fast a F*** Ready in 65 days but could probably go another week for maximum Head-Body effects!! I haven’t even dried and cured her yet but will be back with an update as soon as she’s worthy! Stay tuned, thanks for stopping by, Peeeeace✌️🏻————————————————-
Honestly if I was stuck on a desert island and I had to choose 1 nutrient to grow my coconut trees it would be Green Buzz Liquids - CLEAN FRUITS!!!
I know this isn’t the first time I’ve mentioned this product. And it will not be the Last!!
Honestly!!
Why is it so good?
Because it’s does exactly what it says on the bottle it literally cleans your fruits.
How does it work?
I have no idea... my guess is some cool scientists got a magic wand, like the ones in Harry Potter, must have been one with a dragon heart string.
Waved it around for a while, abracadabra a few times and BOOM!! This AMAZING product was made.
But seriously how does it work...?
It cleans the fruits from the very first application.
I did a test, this is what I found...
I am a strange person when it comes to age old secrets and such as tasting leaf juice will tell you more about your plant than you think.
For example, take a leaf off the plant from any location. Taste the part that was cut from the stem. What does it taste of?
In veg should taste watery with a little tang of bitterness.
In flower should taste a little zing of salty a little bit like baking soda with a pinch of salt. Also in flower you should be able to taste all the Terpenes produced by the plant in question. Usually raw cannabis has a spicy taste also.
After doing this for years and judging the health of my plants based on the taste of the leaf juice before harvest. I can honestly tell you wether a plant still has stored nutrients by the juice from the leaf.
How CLEAN FRUITS works...
It removes the nutrients from the plant from the very first dose. I do not know the science I’m guessing it has something to do with osmosis and how the plants expel nutrients during dark hours. And this is seriously where the magic happens.
So I’ve used this product twice now but this time I can see the greatness of it all. I had an issue that made me need to remove the light from tent. I used 20ml/L of the CLEAN FRUITS product with 10L plain water and added it to all plant with a little run off. With the full knowledge that the plants would not receive anymore light hours. I gave the plants 24hrs of light before I plan to chop. Today I started taking leaves off and that’s where I can give you MHO. Literally no salty taste in the leaves just a sweet watery taste which is exactly what I want. It’s taken over a week to ever get buds tasting so good before harvest by only using plain water to flush.
So the conclusion is that I will never grow anything in soil without using this product again!! Thank you so much!! Enjoy pictures and let me know what you think :)
