Finally a nice sunny & warm week.
Most of the week was nice and mild with few clouds so the girls could get loads of sun.
Had an extremely hot weekend & went up to 36C on Saturday, so got the plants some morning & evening sun, but hid them in the shade during mid day heat & looks like they enjoyed it!
Did some more LST to the Lavender Best, Guerilla Glue & Devil's Kiss & all of them have loved it & grown like mad! Really happy with their progress.
Also did some LST to the Tangie'Matic, Purple Glam Kush and Cocopopo and they all seem to be enjoying it and have grown well since.
The Dubai Poison is the only one that has decided to stay small, but with the warmth it looks like it's woken up a bit finally.
Still giving a light fish mix once a week as a foliar spray, but will stop that now that they are flowering.
Most have started to show the first signs of flowering, so will do a little flush and switch to the flowering nutes.
The AK-77V is still in the water bottle trying to recover, had a bit more bad luck with her and she blew out of the water. Luckily I go out often to check on them & move the others into the sun and saw it within an hour. The bottom leaves have yellowed, but the growth point looks ok... it's just in there as an experiment at this point, but interested to see what happens.
@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 🙏
