Just started putting the seeds into warm water. Tomorrow they will move into wet paper towels to germinate. After that i move them into BioBizz Light Mix Soil, add some nutes and let them grow.
I will start with Living Organics, lots of good Mikorrhiza and bacterias for better root support, add some More Roots to push the roots from beginning and finally some Humidic Acid Plus.
All seeds opened and all 4 looking healthy.
Moved to final 11L pots, one Lady seems a little different, we'll see what grows out of it.
Second week started with pests on one plant. I used neem oil on all 4 ladies and sprayed them and keep on next 2 weeks. Also used some neem oil for watering.
First use of Green Buzz grow nutrition.
As you can see, one lady looks great, two have curly leaves and one had thrips.
Maybe my new lamp was too near, raised height up to 35cm. Actual power is about 120W.
This end of week 3, I actually topped the 2 girls in the back and the two in front were topped the second time to reach 4 colas. Let's hope that works. I'm nervous cause I never tried this technique before and I feel bad for cutting 80% of the leaves off. I took the cut-off, mixed it with some water in the blender and watered the two ladies with that to recycle the nutrition in that leaves.
That week I found some more Thripse, so they got some more neem oil.
When the mainlined girls are ready I will start 12/12 next week.
The Green Buzz Grow Liquid is very powerful, the leaves turned to dark green so I had to stop adding grow nutrition. I propably gave too much of it but I only added it every second watering. Now I know that this stuff is very concentrated and I have to use less of it. Don't get me wrong, Green Buzz nutrition is awesome and powerful. 2ml of grow nutes once a week per plant is all I need now plus some few milliliters of boosters. These bottles will last a long time.
That week I switched to flower and added some Fast Buds Booster. I stopped adding Root Booster.
I reduced Grow nutrition as it seems very powerful and the leaves are dark green under normal light. That teaches me, less nutrition is better sometimes. Good stuff. The smell is also great, smells like fresh plants, never noticed that before in my other grows. Roots are everywhere in the pots now.
As you can see on some pics of week 5 the 2 topped girls developed curled leaves.
PH is about 6.4, EC unknown and I can't measure. Organic nutrition, lowered dose as some leaves were on the darker green side.
I water them about all 5 days with 1500ml water
Your plants definately are clawing I would stop giving them all nutrients. If it was my grow I would give the ones that are clawing a bit of a flush until my runoff ppms were in the 600-750 range regardless of the fact that you are using organic nutes. Then let them dry out a bit before the next watering if the leaves straighten out before your next watering add 1/2 strength nutes. If they continue to recover then increase the nutrients gradually. What wasn't clear was it sounds like you water every 5 days? is that correct? If that is the case what may be happening is you may be waiting too long to water and as the soil dries out the concentration of the nutrients increases in the soil causing the toxicity. I would get a TDS meter to monitor the runoff ppms and ph in the future to make sure your plants are feeding on what your putting into them and it's not building up in the pots. Try to check your runoff once a week. You can either lower your nutes and feed every time or alternate with plain water in between feedings. Hope this helps.👍
Finally flowers are showing, so I count this week as flower week one. That flowers came up fast, I think fast buds booster speeded this up a little bit. And also they developed some claws what I never had before. So I have to find out why. Always excited when growing a strain I never had before. So much to discover and always something to learn.
Almost ready for the ScroG net.
Now all girls show their beautiful flowers and also the smell is now noticeable. It seems I could use my ScroG net now.
The flower took 7 days to show off thanks to Fast Buds by Green Buzz Liquids.
I wonder how organic PK will boost them when they get it from next week on.
And it seems I have at least two phenotypes, the girl front left is different to the other three ladies, the flower is different. She also needs less nutrition, first burned tips show off. I hope I won't blame it.
Some leaf tips seem to be burned, so they got ph-corrected water every second time. Never thought that Green Buzz nutrition is so powerful, 100ml of grow nutrition is enough for at least 8 plants as it seems by now.
Started adding some organic PK nutrition but only half of recommended dose.
Flower looks good so far.
Added two new pics to show how different the flower shows off, I called them pheno #1 and #2
#2 seems to have much more pistils, hairs or stigmas, not sure about the right word. She is also brighter white. Thinking about to cut 2 or 3 clones but I have never done monstercropping.
That week I lowered the nutrition dose after giving pure water once cause all 4 are still well with nutrition. Thanks to PH-powder i can lower the ph from about 8 to 6.3 with urea sulphate. Works great for me.
Still wondering how that special lady turns out. First time I have such a hairy girl but I like it. Does that sound stupid?
And yeah, finally some smell from them.
That week I lowered the nutrition because they still continue to get burned tips. So only boosters in recommended dosage, bloom and pk with 25% of normal dosage.
Smell intensifies now, but growth nearly stopped and I don't know why. Lamp distance was raised to force the girls to gain height.
That week Growzyme from Green Buzz Liquid arrived. This will bring in some kelp.
The smell is intensifying now, From what I saw by now they aren´t huge stretchers, at least when topping and main-lining.
Used the defoliated leaves for the propably worlds first el patron cannabis tea. Tastes nice.
That week was nice.
The plants stopped growing any more and the buds are getting bigger and denser.
Smell is getting more and more intense, the budy are very sticky, and some trichomes are turning from molky to amber.
It seems harvest is near.
Yesterday I gave last dose of nutrition, and next week I will start with Green Buzz clear fruits to push out the nutrition out of the soil and plants.
Asking all the Green Buzz Liquid growers:
What experience did you make with clean fruits? Is it required to use clean fruits with flushing or is it okay just to water the girls with that additive without producing drain?
I mean, normally no need to flush organic nutes, right? 😁
Beeing organic or not, its no fun to smoke Nutrients. Ihave watered a few Girls with the " Clean Fruits" i did not water untl drain... but arouhd 5 litr for a20 l pot. ( slowly) and i cound see a few days later, that the leaves discolouring drasticly... i dont know how it works but it works. And the Grower PharmaZ wrote something to Clean fruits too.....He wrote something like he had eatn a leaf before flushing and after ( few days later) and the taste of the leaf changed . After flush the leaf only tstd like chloophyll iam looking to write it down in the comments
Week 8 of flower, started flushing with "clean fruits" few days ago. Also picked all the bigger leaves out and removed the ScroG net. Buds are very dense and hard, so I will harvest as soon as possible to prevent bud rot. First sugar leaves seem to have tendencies for moulding soon as they started turn brown. I will try to raise the temperature a bit and reducing the air humidity.
They are very sticky and now offering a strong smell. I only open up the tent for 5 minutes and the smell is exploring the whole house. Wife is not amused.😂
Today I prepared them for harvest, so now 2 days of low light with about 70W and only 10h, after that 2 days in the dark, and the weekend they will be harvested.
I decided to let them ripen a bit more cause I want some more amber trichomes.
At harvest day I just cut off the stem and let them dry hanging over as complete plant and will trim them afterwards. Smell is killing me, whole house is smelling like haze. Had a lot of work to separate the roots off the soil.
