A nice mainly warm week with a couple cooler days and nights, but all the girls are doing well.
Spotted some bananas on the Guerilla Glue and one of the Purple Glam Kush. Pulled the one on the PGK and one on the GG, but left one for fun, maybe I get a seed or 2, but might pluck it in a day or 2.
Also still fighting the thrips. Can't spray with anything now, so just squishing every one I see & check the plants a few times a day, so it's kinda under control and they're not doing too much damage. The Cocopopo is probably looking the worst with a few spots all over.
Otherwise they're filling out nicely and mostly still nice clear trichomes, so probably 2 weeks till the first ones come down.
Only on flowering food now, will feed again this coming week, but the ones that are almost done will get a week and a bit of flushing. They're all at different stages, so will keep an eye on each ones progress.
Amounts also vary from plant to plant, the Dubai Poison gets about 100 to 200ml every 2 days (the least) and the Devil's Kiss and Cocopopo get 600ml every 2 days... sometimes a tiny bit more on the hot days, but less on the cooler days... basically staying flexible and feeding them when I feel they need it, sometimes its small amounts on consecutive days, sometimes lots 3 days apart. No formula to outdoor.
Really happy with how the Tangie'Matic is frosting up. The smell is amazing and she glistens in the sun so beautifully. Gave her a little extra attention on the shoot as you can see, but couldn't help myself.
@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 🙏
