I decided to take some pics without the grow lights this week so the true colors of this girl can be seen. She is doing great other than a little tip burn from too much nutrients. I burn them a little every time so nothing new with that. As you can see there is some trichome development happening and I like what I see so far. I gave the girls a flush and fresh nutrients. I noticed some tiny little things floating in the reservoir and after close inspection there are some tiny bugs crawling around in the perlite. They are not aphids or spider mites and they are not crawling around on the plants so I am not too concerned. I added 2 tsp per gallon of hydrogen peroxide to the reservoir and cranked the pumps up to high to wash them out and try to kill them. After a few hours I am not seeing anymore of them so looks like it did the trick. I ordered some ladybugs and lacewings to throw in the room just to be on the safe side. We are having unusually warm weather for this time of year so figured better to be safe. Other than that I am just going to keep the juice pumping and the lights beaming.
@Njaak, Yeah I am kinda neglecting my testers also. I do much better when I focus on one setup at a time. There is definitely a learning curve to running hydro but the rewards are there once you get a routine down. You are ahead of most on your first run and as long as you improve a little every grow then you are doing great in my opinion.
@Njaak, Thanks man! I like to top them to start with 4 main branches and then just kinda watch them. If a branch is shooting up I let it go. Then I trim the branches that don't look like they are trying to grow up fast.
@MomnPoppaSeed, I am doing some slurricane and sugar cane from in house genetics and the apple sundae from cannarado. Probably going to try to make some pollen from the slurricane and let the apple sundae get a taste of it. I also just germinated a fastbuds purple lemonade that I might experiment with too. You can do it with autos also. I did a short diary called "making seeds"with autos. I am sure you would have had a much more exciting title for it lol.
@Wicked_Stix, YES!! That's what I'm talk about..
How exciting is that? That would be so exciting. Which strains are you looking to Lez out?? I haven't experimented with anything like that b4 but then I've been growing autos up until recently.
With photo strains we dont have to pay $$$ for seeds to experiment with.
Love it!!
@MomnPoppaSeed, Hahaha damn the dry spells!! I have a couple little breeding projects planned so if it all works out we might even get to see some girl on girl action soon! ππ
@Jwjoh, totally makes sense now how you said the buds didn't get as big as others. This one only worked on building buds for a couple weeks. Not much time to get big buds on them.
stunning results g-meister. top drawer nugs a reward for your work hombre.
might have to investigate that recipe of yours - surprise the missus with my newly acquired baking skills!!!
a quality journal - nuff said! πππ
@mr_h_kovert, Thanks for all the support! And hell yeah you definitely need to try them. It has a more of a narcotic effect than smoking. I am still recovering from the coma after eating a couple pieces last night.
quality over quantity innit and i gets the impression you aint gonna be going short over the next few months. you could of course be a bit of a hoova - i know my intake has substantially increased since i started growing me own. [I ought to mention that missus k is a j edger hoova too!]
@mr_h_kovert, haha I try to hoova down what I can but I like sharing too. Will definitely be stocked up for a little while. Doubt that will stop me from sprouting some new ones though!
Love this breeder and after seeing this I'm going try out the purple punch cookies! Really nice journal! I recommend try the alien gorilla strain from them it's my new favorite strain to grow super great stuff!
