Holy cow... week 20... Never thought I'd ever have a plant going for that long... pffff....π
Well, sorry for the dealy in posting, I caught a really bad flu and was stuck in bed so I couldn't move but here's the update so far:
I feed her with a 30% solution as planned, so, going really low on the nutes so far. No more burns but deficiencies are slowly getting worse. Next time I'll step it up to 50%. I think she'll take it...
Good thing is: she got cold too xD and she's starting to look a bit frosty on the sugar leaves. Pistils are developping fine all around the plant. Canopy is still looking good. Not too much differences in height. And she has started dropping the lower leaves where light can't reach. Also showing strong signs of Nitrogen def as she started turning yellow from the bottom. Maybe a bit too soon, that's also why I'll jump up to 50% nutes
Checked the ph from the soil. I guess it's around 6,7ph because it was around 7 at runoff so next feed I'll go down to 6,2 to balance that out a bit. The new bluelab ph meter is way more accurate than everything i had before so I'll be using it a lot in future. It will sure make a difference when I have more control over my feeds... feeling safer...
Yo... that's it so far. Growing conditions haven't changed. Let's keep playing the game :)
Thanks for checking in! Kinda busy right now (and sick) so I don't have so much time to check on your grows but I'll come back to that for sure in future! Cheers mates and happy farming ^^
UPDATE DAY 3
Ph is back in the range. Runoff says 6,7 now. I guess that's fine. I also did feed her today with the 50% nutrient solution ph'd at 6.2. Added just a bit more phosphor and boost compared to the other nutes but just a bit, like 60%... Noticed that a very few of the pistils have turned brownish. Very weird. Never seen that in this stage but I guess it's nothing bad, there's really only 8 -10 hairs on the whole plant (counting hairs am I) that did that so... let's wait it out. I'll add a picture sooner or later....
The nutrient chart above has been updated to the last feed I gave, the 50% solution.
Oh yeah, I'm also slowly starting to drop the temperature for both day and night. Just 2 or 3 degrees over the next weeks to simulate fall. Can't be bad... ;-)
Have a great day everyone ^^
@Skunky,will wait and see but you have done a good job training her and if its feminised should be a girl when you found that seed it could of been anything that caused it even a. bit of stress but so far so good
@@Tryhard, Thanks a lot master! I'm not so sure about that 'girl'-thing though... I found a seed in a plant that was grown from feminized seed. It somehow hermied a bit and as far as I know, there's no way to tell which gender it will have although some think, it will be female since it was grown from feminized seeds ... hmm... I'll see... thanks again :)
@Skunky, someone I know said the dark devil was a beautiful smoke , it's on the list , just a bit behind all the others π The blackberry is very flavoursome , I'm an auto man at the moment , but I do love a bit of kush π±
@BigDaddyK, thanks man! Just had a look at your blackberry journal... damn, that's a nice one to try! Awesome work! I still have some Dark Devil autos lying around here, to try a colored strain, but the blackberry will sure be one of the next! Thanks for that journal! Very interesting :)
@@Tryhard, I'm so happy too xD!! Never thought it would turn out this way considering I had it under such poor conditions hehe. I'm stoked so far :-))) Thanks man! Much appreciated!!!
@Skunky,well it gonna be a beauty, looks like you lst have it a beautiful flat canopy! I have high hopes for this one!
Keep calm smoke the bomb and gro on!
@Skunky, Thank you, my usernames a bold statement which should hopefully drive me to live up to it.
Act like it's the truth till it is, My crap don't stinkπ
Looking absolutely beautiful buddy. I love how even your canopy has turned out! Keep up all the great work. I'll be waiting around to see the harvest :D
@Skunky, Indeed so, lol. I forget to move things around for one day and all heck breaks loose. I just moved my plants around to flush them a bit and I ruined my perfect canopy. It's just part of life I guess. I'm happy you've been so lucky with everything. It all looks great buddy, keep up the hard work :D
@Ripper, yeah... that's mostly because I did veg her under a 50W bulb for weeks first. Didn't intend to grow her to the end at first but she looked so nice so I didn't kill her... xD... never again... ! I think she could have turned out way better if I did the whole thing under good lights from the start but duh' it was a fun experiment training her so much :) Thanks man!
@biggreens420, and I learned a LOT from this grow actually. I think this is going to be my best one so far... Can't wait to finish this one hehe... Thanks a bunch!!!
@BigDaddyK, That's theory... you don't know me jet xD... the bigger the plant, the larger the chances I will mess up.. LOL! I'm usually more into autoflowers so this is gonna be a challenge! Thanks man ;)
@JankaTheDeaf, Thanks a bunch! Sounds great, and even more because actually it is just 1 plant xD... if it looks like it's several of them I think I reached my goal hehe :) thanks again :)
@biggreens420, Maybe I'll try dropping the temps even more to get a really nice fade. Never had a plant really turn into autumn colors so this might be the first time, with a bit of luck :)
@Tonino, Thank you! Much appreciated! It's not that easy to get really decent pics under these leds I think. Hard to get some details in there without additional light...
@TheFairyBudMother, Thank you so much! It's a pleasure sharing and watching others grows as well! I really love this site for it's visual and graphical style to display journals. Best I've found so far. Really nice to flip though weeks and stuff! Have a great day Fairy :)
@KonopCh, oh this makes me so happy. I don't consider myself an experienced or good grower you know... but to see I'm on the right path certainly IS a satisfaction! Thank you so much! π ππ
What a lovely looking canopy you have here. Great work training and topping all that. I can't wait to see how she develops after she switched over to flower.
@DabCrab, Thanks a lot! And yeah, me too! I've actually never grown such a 'big' plant so I'm a bit nervous to see what will happen next and if all goes well... :)
@Mr_Di, Hey there! Thanks a lot! So far it has been easy. I'm more afraid of putting it into flower. That's when things always start getting messy... :) I'll sub back ^^ Thanks!
