Juanita in the rain

Week 19 / 2nd Week Full Plant Flowering for Plant 1, Plant 2 just started Spicy CBD Plant 1 with seven-fingers phenotype is flowering nicely. Height is stable at 180 cm. Trimmed of some sucker branches. And the flower looks nice without smell at this early stage. On the other hand, Spicy CBD Plant 2 with five fingers phenotype has various issues. First she is stuck in pre-flowering stage. Height exceed 190 cm. I try to help her decide to start flower by feeding 1.5/ml per liter of sea weed additive both by spray and by soil drenching. Also starting to bend her by hanging some weight on the top colas. Spicy CBD Plant 2 also has bug boring hole in her trunk. There must be a high beetle having a great time somewhere in my garden. Most annoying is that Spicy CBD Plant 2 flower on lower branch rotted. Pistil are all brown. Could be nutrient burn but I doubt it. I cut a minor cola out entirely. Flower was at 5 weeks old. And trichome is still clear. This pheno is a CBD strain with week resistance. If I lose this particular Spicy CBD five finger pheno plant, there won’t be any tear in my eyes. Sweet Love is 3 ft (90 cm) tall. Flowering continues but not developing as quickly as Spicy CBD number 1. I have also encouraged her to put out a little faster by feeding her sea weed as well. Looking nice, I do like growing this one very much. She is not overly big. Saw spiders and a praying mantis. So, unless there is a heavy infestation, I won’t use anti-insect microbes. Let it be as natural as possible. Watering – temperature had dropped to 30 degree with overcast sky. Humidity is at 76%. And the girls were …. thirsty. Whatever the ladies want. Watering was for 4 liter per plant per day. Feeding – they still don’t seemed to like much nute at this stage. After feeding with phosphorus and potassium, I get yellow leaves and burnt tips. So, this week yogurt was fed once. 1 liter homemade yogurt to 5 liter of water. Safe enough on nitrogen with loads of elements to replace leaching caused by 3 liter per day watering. Okay – count down to harvest starts. These should be finished in 8 to 10 more weeks. That is by mid January like most landrace Thai would. Feeding strategy: Next week, I’ll nurse them back from too dry conditions by water a little by little twice a day. Then, I’ll feed them a quarter strength potassium with sea weed. Spraying with ant- insect microbe but no need for mold control yet. Live free from big corporate poison.
