Super stoked for last week, watching her flower is pretty incredible, so from pretty much week 9 of veg up till now I've been feeding her half strength base nutrients with fluctuating strengths of sensizym and Cal-Mag always mixed with 8L of basic filtered water.
Update January 5 2020. Back from my fishing trip! Happy to say that everything with the durban is going swimmingly, I fed her today 8L with half strength base nutrients and half strength of sensizym. I will probably do one more feeding with sensizym and call it good.. in two-three weeks I will start adding my Overdrive nutrients to my base.
January 11 update: Not much going. Just playing the waiting game now.
January 13 update: its gotten really cold here, like -37 with wind so I put a ceramic heat emitter back in, now back up to 250w heat running 24/7. Growing in an unheated shop is definitely a challenge! But with the other one in things are picking up and shits drying out finally. Should have put the other heater back in a week ago. My bad.
January 15 update: -37!! Holy fu*ck, fed her 3L of mixed nutrients at half strength. With just a splash of overdrive.
January 17 update: outside temps finally warming up to -25°c yay!! Inside grow box temps up to 28°c she likes it warm, Fed her the remaining food I had mixed up, she got about 5L. Seeing fattening of the bud sites👀👌
January 19 update: No idea when this happened but it did.. got a crack right at first top. Now I know to leave more of stem above where it splits off into two. Quick tape fix till I figure it out, fed her 5L of mixed food with just under full strength OverDrive and some organic growth plus.. it has a high pk so I'm using it once.
January 21 update: things are slowing down now, just a waiting game to find that nice mix of cloudy/amber trichomes. Might feed one more time then it's on to flushing!
January 23 update. Fed her another 5L of mixed nutrients with full strength OverDrive. Seems how I have about 2-3weeks left, that will be the last feed. I have lots of "buffer" leaves and pretty sure I've been overfeeding a bit so it's now flush time.. I will be flushing for last 2-3 weeks with just plain PH'd tap water. My "buffer" leaves should keep it going till it's time.
January 25 update: first flush done with about 8L of store bought RO water. Water that came out was slightly brown. No point checking run off yet as its first flush. I will check ppms next flush in a few days. She's starting to smell really good! Like an earthy diesel .
January 27 update: wasn't going to but the leaves are dry as f*** so dumped in another 8l of RO flush water. Trichomes are I'd say 99 to 100% cloudy with a few Amber's here and there.. I will try to time it for Feb 1st harvest. If I'm a few days early due to flushing coco then so be it.
January 28 update: no water. Still seeing some slight fattening of the buds. Every bud site including the lower pop corn buds are just covered in dense trichomes🤤 I'm going to have some pretty killer trim to work with.. I will be making canna butter for the first time😀 side note: will be cleaning the grow box tomorrow when the lights are on.
January 29 update: None. I did however find out sunglasses make great UV filters for taking pictures and videos 👍
January 30 update: None.
January 31 update: large flush with about 14L of water, cleaned out run off tray. That's pretty much it.. oh, trimmed a few more leaves that were covering any buds. So close I can almost taste it!!! 🤤🤤 sure not very strong smelling though🤨. I'm sure that will change once I start chopping into her.
February 1st update: 10L flush, noticed one of my intake fans has been off for some time now🤦♂️🏻 fired that back up. I did mention that I might harvest today.. she's not quite ready yet, I will let her dry out 3days prior and do a 48hr darkness prior to harvest as well.
February 3rd update: last day of week 16, trichomes are right where I want them for the affect I'm after.(and will continue to amber up during cure) So tonight I will be chopping her down. Going to do a "wet" trim and hang buds in the drying rack till ready for curing jars. Planning on a 3 week minimum cure time.
I would to thank everyone for the kind words/likes and encouragement!! The growing community is full of great people👍
More updates to follow. Update pictures daily!!
Happy growing everyone!🌱👌Stay warm my Canadian friends.
Soo... I have roots starting to come out the bottom of my pot. Should I be worried at or will it be fine for the rest of her life..(I do have and am using sensizym) When is transplanting "cutoff"? Can you transplant any time before flower?
@Rusticbuds Yes you can transplant her into a bigger container but try to do it just before lights off as this will reduce the stress also a seaweed based supplement is excellent for reducing transplant stress so a light watering with some mixed in would be of benefit. Also if you dont want to transplant you can gently trim off any protruding roots but if you have the space and means to do a transplant I would consider doing so Good luck my friend
yes it is a sign of very early abundance of nutrients but simply you don't need to flush.Only flush if you start losing more leaf surface.I mean,if signs get bigger and more parts of leaves get brownish,crispy,weird looking,you should flush.Since you are in coco,do not skip nutes.If flushing,flush with sufficient amount of pure water then give some nuted feeding solution.At this point,you don't need to flush,just decrease amount of nutes for that plant for a week and watch if it increases or not.Unnecessary flushing will do more harm than a very very slight nutrient burn,trust me.I've experienced it a few times before.
But...
I see you are giving 4ml of each one and this is %100 of what it says on the bottle,right? No need to feed that much in my opinion,especially in veg.I would immediately cut off Bloom part and back off with Grow nutes to 1ml at least.Good luck.your plant looks great
I know it takes time for buds to stack and fatten up. My question is, will molasses be of any benefit to me or is that for the organic grows? As I've read the sugar feeds the microbes and not the plant itself. Also how's she looking? if it was your plant what would you change?
Your plant looks perfectly happy and healthy. Molasses in any kind of hydroponics or coco can feed bad bacteria which will make your pH spike and cause a lot of issues. If you are looking to add sugars then you can add bud candy to your feeding schedule. Good luck finishing her up!
Lol awesome question friend.
But you didn't say yours? At least i didn't see it in this weeks update?
I'm a sucker for lucky charms... but...my inner baker has a tendency to explode out when I'm stoned and I'll go crazy in the kitchen! Nothing beats homemade Pizelles! Granted i usually burn approximately half of them since they bake about 25 seconds lol but even the burnt ones are yummy. Snag some vanilla bean ice cream outta the freeze... oh so good ya know?
Holy friggin cold man. Poor girls are not happy with this low, static humidity and temps. Don't know how it's going for you guys, but what a pain in the ass, lol!
Good luck and stay warm! (The temps you posted are the same for me, haha. We may very well be living in the same area/province)
Cheers to you and all the indoor Canadian growers fighting winter right now. Peace!
You're doing a hell of a job for your first go my friend! Your girls are looking really good and seem to be flowering/putting on weight very, very well. Your Diary is very good and thorough. With your projected harvest in February, and if you hadn't already planned on it, please enter this into the newbie of the month contest. You have a lot of good things going for you here! Maybe pick up some notoriety and new genetics while you're at it, lol👍😉
Keep it up and continued success my friend. Cheers!✊
@JinksyGrows, thanks for the kind words my friend🤘 I will definitely be entering a contest or two 😀👍 I'll never say no to new genetics!! Also being my first dairy and not really knowing the extent of this awesome site, it is not as detailed as I'd like and will be even more thorough my next go around. And again, thanks for stopping by and wish you good luck with your grows🤘
I can taste and smell this just from looking at the picture's. OOOOH boy, you're in for a great chop my friend. Looks great and wrapping up! You have your heavily cloudy trichs too👍. This bud is going to kick some serious ass.
Cheers man, and good luck with the final days. Perfect work, well deserved fruits of labor on the horizon👌👊
@Rusticbuds, You're correct, I'm not a big sativa dude, but I would never turn down a tasting 😆. Careful not to give out too much! Haha. I gave so much of mine away at the beginning, I was so happy. Then I was like, shit, not going to have enough for me!!! I'll throw you a message in PM tomorrow brother. See if you'd like to actually meet up for a coffee or something and shoot the poop on weed.
@JinksyGrows, thanks brotha🤘 I really wish everyone could in fact taste/smell them, perhaps we will get there one day! I know your an indica kinda guy but well have to meet up for a tasting👍 just wish I had enough to share with everybody✌️🌱.
@Med_in_Tropic,thanks man✊ my goal was to maximize my grow area with one plant. I think I accomplished my goal👍 could maybe have gotten another few inches of height but hey I'm very happy with her and she still pushing bud growth!
They look so good!!! I love this UV glasses hack and Im going to have to steal it haha! Hope you are staying warm! It warmed up to -3 but back down to -20! Can't wait for your harvest!!!! 👽
@xbabybitchx,Thanks buddy! Its killing me to remain patient. Lol and go for it dude that's why I posted it👍 just can't believe I didn't think of it sooner! Haha
Looks gd budz. I’m having same issues as you. Going to hit -45 c here tonight and with my heaters on in my shop this morning it was a balmy plus 2 c. I’m going to fire up the propane heater to help it out this week or two. Wish u all the luck for this cold snap.
@Rusticbuds, it’s all gd alrdy lol warmed up too -20 so I’m able to turn propane heater off. Wasn’t planning to spend a lot of time in the room when I had it on. The oil heater just couldn’t keep up at those temperatures. Hope
do fine too. Cheers
@xbabybitchx, thanks man! I'm trying! Haha but with my temps around 27 in the box and -33 out, it's starting to form a ton of condensation... basically creating my own rain clouds...🤨 lol would be kind cool actually if I was still in veg. Fans up full power hoping for the best. Thanks for stopping by🍻✊
@Rusticbuds, you have 7-11 in Canada? Is it an all north American thing? Must be...i love slurpees too, can't not add slurpee to the list.
I'm West coast United states. 😊
@Experimentgreen,ohh, I forgot about those.. haha.. yah those are great! Ohh, I should have added slurpees to my list. Sooo good! Lol.. where do you call home my friend? Alberta Canada here.
@THCVplus, so far I'm impressed with cropking's genetics, I have 4 more durban poison seeds to play with, but think I'm going to try this auto amnesia from canuk seeds the next round.
