Day 142 since BubbleGum came to be cloned. Three weeks of flowering complete, six weeks to go. Unlike many of my other plants, Bubblegum is on track and rocking it. I haven’t fed any nitrogen since entering the flower tent, and heavy watering in stretch seemingly reduced the nitrogen in the soil. This past week I fed food: 0-10-10 Alaskan Morbloom, with a popsicle stick dip of blackstrap molasses, Plant Prod MJ Spike (CalMag), Earth Alive Big Blue Wave. I’m trying to be decent with watering habits and so I’ve let it dry out a bit and then will alternate with water before going back to that feeding again in later weeks. The branches seem healthy and the nodes seem spaced nicely. Last three pics are: middle two plants, whole tent looking towards the more progressed in terms of flower, whole tent looking towards relatively younger plants.
@@Aiiogrow,yep. Just to be clear: its an ethyl group alcohol, just typical moonshine you make in a traditional still. Fractionally distilled to 90+% ABV.
It seems to have saturated and killed the mites with regular spraying, especially under the leaves. If it gets really wet it does need some air circulation/fan breeze. It doesn’t evaporate that fast that it can’t cause damage if soaked.
It does kill gnats on contact, but it seems to be more effective at discouraging them more than anything. That, combined with other measures, also worked with gnats. Like if you water and have flies that emerge, you can have the alcohol spray ready to fire. It will kill some, injure some, discourage some, etc.
It is a consumable though, I went through alot getting on top of all the problems. You have to be content making large quantities, which my source is.
@@BeanswithPork, Always nice work from you. Wish I had your green thumb, I fail at keeping my plants happy n healthy thru out the grow cycle every time I tried soil (perhaps it's the soil?).
@TheUsualSuspect, I noticed the soil matters, alot. A really light, good draining soil with small particle size is perfect. If it has mycorrhizae its a bonus (otherwise gotta add microlife). That has to be the bulk lest you risk poor drainage, too much nutrient, other problems. It also has to be available in bulk and affordable.
Sunshine Soil #4 or HP ProMix soil is reliable. Mostly peat moss and perlite.
