A nice mild week with mostly sunny days. Some days in the low 30's, but mostly in the mid to high 20's and down to between 12C & 16C at night.
Some are getting close to being done & others are still getting started. Most doing well, besides the Dubai Poison runt.
I found a banana on my PGK yesterday and found one of the Guerilla Glue today. Not too stressed about them. If they sprout more I'll separate them from the rest, so will keep an eye out. Worst that happens is I get a few seeds I can play with.
The Tangie'Matic has made some serious progress this week & can't believe how fast it's filling out! Feels she went from preflower straight to buds. She doesn't smell like tangerine/naartjie peels anymore, just a delicious sweet strong citrus smell.
The Cocopop is trying to win an award for the best comeback of the season haha it's been growing well and catching up to the biggest girls now. She's in preflower and pushing out the most beautiful white stigmas. Glad she decided to grow, she was as big as the Dubai Poison for the first few weeks.
All going well & weather looks to be good for the next 2 weeks besides a little dip on Wednesday.
Did a bit more defoliation on them this week too. Some were getting a bit swamped by all their leaves.
Also upped my nutrients and having so many plants in 1 diary makes it impossible to split the feeding, but the ones further into flower are getting more of the Bloom/Fire Juice Mix and the ones in preflower get more Grow, Fish Mix and Micro Life. Splitting it more or less 200ml of the one & 300ml of the other. On the warmer days I might give a little more, but try to water every 2nd day so they dry out properly inbetween.
@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 🙏
