A warm start to the week with a bit of a storm passing through making night temps drop a bit low again, but warmed up again nicely toward the end of the week.
Looks like the dropping night temps are finally done & the report for the next two weeks is looking good.
Upped the nutes to hopefully help them stretch a bit more.
Some have gone into flowering quite seriously, while others are just showing a few pre flowers.
Will switch to bloom next week.
The Dubai Poison looks like it's going to stay small, but the Cocopopo that was well behind has grown well & is trying to catch the others.
Purple Glam Kush is looking healthy and doing well, but still going quite slowly, but is flowering quite a bit, so think she'll stay really small too, but have another seed, so can try again more in season.
The Guerilla Glue & Lavender Best are flowering solidly, so left them alone, but the Devil's Kiss was growing and still early in pre flower, so added another tie down around the rim of the pot. Also added another to the Tangie'Matic early in the week and she has started flowering properly since, hopefully she stretches nicely.
I also heard cinnamon helps keep fungus away and in turn the fungus gnats have no food, so gets rid of them too. I bought some & sprinkled some around the ladies.
Looks like it's working and there are way less gnats and with an added bonus that my greenhouse smells delicious every time I go in in the morning to move them into the sun.
All in all they're pretty much doing what I expected planting a bit early.
Was hoping some of them would have grown a bit more, but this is more strain hunting and testing how they do a little early, so if there are some terps that grab me I'll grow another one later in the season or next season.
@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 🙏
