Was another mainly cold and overcast week.
3 of the girls were growing well, but stretching a bit, so started some LST on them & they seem to be loving it and have been pushing out nice big healthy leaves. Know it's early (size wise), but want to keep the plants low and spread the canopy, so will train them around the edge of the pot as they grow until I see signs of flowering.
I had some damping off issues with 2 plants, one from another diary and the AK-77V from this one.
We had one hot day and after all the cold damp days it was a bit of a shock to the girls.
She flopped over completely & know there's not much you can do after that, but I decided to at least give it a go.
Cut her just above the damaged area of the stem, dipped the end in some root powder & am leaving her in a bottle of water.
Essentially treating it like a clone.
If anything comes of it, great, if not, at least I tried haha
The Cocopopo has started to get into gear this week and is pushing some proper looking leaves out finally.
The Tangie'matic and Purple Glam Kush looks like they've slowed down with their stretching and are also starting to push out more nice big leaves and will do some LST on them soon.
The Dubai Poison is the furthest behind and in real slow mo, but it's still looking healthy, so hopefully the good weather coming this week gets her going!
Again only watered every 3 to 4 days due to the cold temps and plants still being quite small.
Feed every 2nd water, but will up that to every water next week and as usual 1 foliar feed with a light fish mix once a week.
@Ganjagardenner, Yeah, adding till burn was just trying to find out where their limits are with the mixes I'm giving them, but like you say, the balance is more important than amounts. At least now I know what too much is and can now work on more micro elements to keep everything in balance. Been playing with foliar feeding on my winter crop and they seem to love it, so will keep the soil feeding lower and add some more foliar once a week. Lots of little experiments and dialing things in. Pretty much just pushing them to the extremes so I can see what happens when they are not happy... like you said, mistakes make experience, so if I stay careful I won't learn much, but by purposely making mistakes I learn way more and if I can see where the see saw hits the ground either side, balancing it should be easier. 😉
It's so awesome that almost everything we learn with weed translates to the rest of the garden. It's making me want to get into growing veggies again.
Thanks! Happy growing to you too! ✊
@Shinsimilla, for sure! ‘Experience‘ is the name given to our mistakes! I like the idea of adding nutes until burn, but all the micro and macro elements are in such an equilibrium It’s hard to actually think which is the issue. Guess that’s the green thumb element of understanding the plants. I do a lot of other gardening also and the techniques usually transfer over so it’s great fun all the time. Happy growing dude!
@Ganjagardenner, nice. Yeah, everyone's system and environment is different and there is almost never only 1 solution, so make the experimenting more fun.
Cool to see how everyone solves their issues differently and end up with good results. I pushed mine to nute burn to see how much they can take, so stay below that now.
There are lots of right ways, but finding lots of wrong ways on the way and that's almost more important :P
@Fast_Buds, Thank you!
The Tangie'matic is definitely in the lead of the first few am super happy with her so far!
I have an LSD-25, Zkittlez and Mexican Airlines that just popped out the soil and will start day one tomorrow.
Looking forward to smell & taste them. Is a bit early in the season, so probably wont get a crazy yield, but that won't stop the terps! haha
@Shinsimilla, ha well I'm a newbie grower but I can tell there's a fair bit of talent and a fair bit of experience gone into these it's really good ! 🚀
@CRiSPrGrow, coming from you that is even more of a compliment, thank you!
Combining my job/passion with another passion that has recently been legalised here, so loving it!
Thanks for the follow 🙏
