Tazard As those who follow my diaries you know I’ve been plagued by bronze spots yellow leaves and burnt tips. @b4rns has suggested that I have magnesium deficiency and the House and Garden representative was inclined to agree. So I have defoliated leaves that were more than about 40% affected. She was scheduled for the flowering tent Monday but I will keep her out and in veg for another week. 11/19 she’s looking good now. Thanks everyone!

Tazard Wow what a monster. I am super cropping the highest tops nearly daily to allow the lower tops to catchup. My goal is 8-12 equal height colas. 12/4 lollipoped and supercropped. She now has 11 tops, including the center stem.

Tazard Week 3 of flower. Considering her condition before flowering I would have to give her a 10/10 for resiliency. Super cropping has provided for a nearly flawless canopy with 11 tops within about 1 inch in height. There are 2 branches on the right side that are about 1/2-1 inch lower than the other 9. I will be watching these 2 and if necessary I’ll pull them in for the increased height they need. The tank she sits in is 16” wide for reference. 12/14 I was on the back side and couldn’t resist the picture, sorry about the lighting.

Tazard Budlets are in full production. The leaf tips are beginning to burn, indicating that she is done with the nitrogen and vegative supplements. I started her on sugars and carbs as she will need lots of energy. I gave her a good dose of top booster this week so she knows it’s time to finish her life. Next week the top booster will be replaced with some top shooter and I will dial back the micro nutrients. Any helpful information is always appreciated! Thanks again for following along. 12/21 added photos she’s amazing 😉. Did some LST.

Tazard So she is developing very nicely. I still have the two short branches (about 3” low) but there’s 11 branches at canopy level. This strain has been aggressive at every stage. A really forgiving plant. Trichs are coming in.

Tazard Welcome to the beginning of week seven. The Trichs are developing and the buds are swelling. The Stigma are still mostly erect although a few have begun to dry and start to curl, none have darkened. I have not looked at the Trichs with a magnifier yet but I will closer to harvest and post the photos. The leaves are beginning to yellow (hard for them to uptake ca in flower) so I increased the bases by .5ml/gal and added.5ml/gal cal-mag+ (wish it didn’t have the +). 1/10/18 Opened the tent today and the buds are about 50% fatter than yesterday!!! Sorry about light but was excited and didn’t want to wait until tonight 😂

Tazard Welcome back! This is the beginning of week 8. Stigma are turning in. I will check Trichs this week as she is a 45-50 day strain. The branches exposed to the overlapping LED are ripening much faster see photos D51 1/17/18 going to chop her this weekend flushing her with RO water pH’d to 5.8. She will spend 48 hours in the dark before harvest (supposedly increases resins).

Healthy roots is always a sign of a happy plant and those were some super healthy roots :) Congratulations on the harvest my friend and we hope you enjoy our Critical :) Can I ask. With that anmont of light used I would have expected a bigger yield. How many plant under that wattage? And Ant idea why yield was so low compared to lumens/light used? All the best Mark..
Tazard
Tazardcommented7y ago
@DinafemSeeds, the canopy diameter was just under 24” or 1/3m2 so she was capable of doing about two times what I got based on her genetics (625g/m2). I was anxious for the space and harvested her on day 51 and really should have given her another week or two. She was about 80% on her Trichs (see photos week 13 day 51 of flower). There were 6 plants. Generally she was under the hps set to 600w. There were some growers that had made big deals for people splitting wattage so I just listed everything on full power. Although the 600 should have been more than enough. I have since retired the hps for LED’s. I now run (1) 135w LED above each plant, although I still have 2 plants in each 16x24” DWC with (3) DWCs on 24” centers so there is likely some overlap of light. I have also looked and there are 4 harvests on GD of Critical Plus (including mine) with an average yield per plant of 54g (including my 117g). I don’t know canopy size oh the other harvests but on mine it would be about 350g/m2. What do you think is the problem? Could it be my nutrients? I will get another brand and grow your Blue Cheese in it and see if I can get the advertised yields.

DabCrab
DabCrabcommented7y ago
@Tazard, I've noticed that once you start exceeding 10 - 15 tops on a single plant it becomes difficult for the plant to produce well without letting the roots get significantly larger. Which means more veg time.

She is turning into a beautiful plant my friend. Now you are 3 weeks into bloom the stretch phase should be coming to an end and bud production is just around the corner. A fair size plant ready to fill out. Will check back in to see these buds develope. All the best Mark..
DinafemSeeds
DinafemSeedscommented7y ago
@Tazard, from the initial flip to 12/12 mate :) So if we say 70 days flower this is an estimate (pheno delending) and counted from day 1 of 12/12 :)
Tazard
Tazardcommented7y ago
@DinafemSeeds, wow you called budlets within 2 days. I really appreciate that as I knew just when to stop super cropping!!!! Thanks Mark!!!! How did Dinafem count flowering time? From 12/12 flip (about 4 weeks left) or from appearance of flowers (about 7 weeks left)?
Tazard
Tazardcommented7y ago
@DinafemSeeds, Thanks she is a genetic marvel! I also have your Dinamex and Dinachem (I generally prefer sativa).
Mr_Di
Mr_Dicommentedweek 47y ago
Hi man! Good luck to your lady. Check ph tester to be sure of correct value and lighten solution, I think 950 ppm is too hig for this stadium of growth. I do not know your fert, but if you are not chelate molecules you risk that with this weight accumulate in the form of precipitated in your water. check water, and if you look suspended particles, change with fesh water. last tip, never take more than 1/3 of the leaves, 30%, read that this slows down a lot of growth
Tazard
Tazardcommented7y ago
@Mr_Di, Thanks. And if the big plant science does beat my HG I will certainly consider my options. The whole principle behind the HG aqua flake line was to allow hydro growers an organic alternative. I get the smell and taste of soil grown with the speed of DWC. My harvested buds are the envy of my smoking group! Of course they think I bought them lol.
Mr_Di
Mr_Dicommented7y ago
@ Tazard1, Interesting Taz ... organic is not the best choice to grow in DWC. Hydro is the best method for causing fast assimilation of nuts. Organic form is not immediately assimilated from plant, if you use mineral fertil you will see a very monster in your pot in 4 week of veg !! Anyway, this is what I know by reading some articles, but I did not test it personally because I use only hydrothermal system (Atami Wilma x 4 pot 12lt). I follow you with interest my friend !!!
Tazard
Tazardcommented7y ago
@Mr_Di, my fertilizer is like 90% organic (House and Garden) I have no precipitates. When I add Mg to my tapwater my TDS is about 360 so my nutrient density is about 540-590ppm. My pH is steady at 5.7 (5.6 to 5.8 recommended by HG). Oh and I thusly have only removed the main fan leaves. I left all branch fans but will remove them once I have sufficient new growth. I realize organic nutrients in a DWC is iffy but HG stands by it and if it weren’t for the spotting I’m very very happy with HG. Although I will be growing my prize auto blue amnesia (2) with the prized big plant science in one DWC and two more in another DWC with HG nutes. Please if you have any other suggestions please don’t hesitate. Thanks for helping!

DinafemSeeds
DinafemSeedscommented7y ago
@Tazard, Yes mate. As she starts to ripen up the stigmas/pistils will start to change from white to a brown/orange colour :) For the best time to harvest though. Do not go of stigma/pistil colour this you need to examine the trichomes :) All the best Mark..

@BigDaddyK, @b4rns I’ve added a picture of my local water company data. My tap water varies from 8-8.7 pH at about 200 ppm. I have tested Ca content of nutrient solution at 200-240ppm. The magnesium sulfate I am adding is 150 ppm. Do I need a filter or something?
Tazard
Tazardcommented7y ago
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Thanks I have changed the water in the reservoirs, omitted the Amino Treatment (highly organic black stuff) from the solution. Ppm is now at 825 (including 200 starting and 150 ppm mg sulfate) pH is at 5.7. I will keep a close eye on them over the next few hours.
JUNGLE_B4RNS
JUNGLE_B4RNScommented7y ago
@Tazard1, your tap water is quite soft, mine is at 340 ppm. There’s definitely something wrong with your roots, this is why you’re getting random micro deficiency. Roots are rotted.
the end.
