Gold Bar Kush Spliff seeds organic grow

Week 20, concluding the eight week of flowering: Hi(gh) guys! This week the plants got their last dose of nutrients on Friday, a slightly lighter dose of 3,5ml/l Organic Bloom Liquid. There is still no activity with the male pollen, so I’d decided to let that cuttings dry out and hope the pollen will release after all inside the paper bags. I can sift the pollen out of the plant material. But since I’m only two weeks away from harvesting, there is no time to grow seeds if I get it. But the lower branches on the plants have loads of little buds that are too tiny anyway. So I’d decided to make a short flush on the plants, with just one watering using Clean Fruits product to get rid of the leftover nutrients, followed up with a dose of 5ml/l Big Fruits, Growzyme and Humic Acid Plus, to optimize resin production before harvest. Also going to put them two days in the dark for the first time. Then I’m going to harvest the top branches with the biggest buds, leaving the lower branches on the plants. The plants are going back underneath the Scroggmaster 360 and I hope to be able to revive them a bit, long enough to be able to pollinate the leftover buds, and hopefully deliver some seeds anyway! This is considered to be my last chance to succeed with some form of my initial plan. The buds look and smell really good. There is also quite some weight to this big plants. I’m very curious to see what they are going to yield. The buds indeed have some sort of gold hue about them. Most important will be the taste. The smell certainly is very Lemony, although I don’t really smell tangerines in them. On Sunday I have used three tablespoons of Neem-granules to make some Neem tea. Neem kills unwanted pests, only late in flowering you can’t spray it onto the leaves because the buds would be contaminated with the foul tasting Neem. So I have spread white sheet over the table and placed the plants on top one by one and have given them a firm shake. I must say that I didn’t see any pests after finishing, but afterwards I have poured the cooled down Neem tea over the soil, so any larvae or Thrips should be dead then. Also because I want to revive the leftover plants for making seeds. The Thrips have gorged on the smaller and thinner leaves, leaving all of them with white snail track-like scars, some died and dried out. The bigger leaves also have those slug-scars but are still healthy. It seems that the THC-covered parts are less wanted by them. But this is in fact a nasty pest if you would get it early on, and can do a lot of damage. I’m looking forward to see you back and check on the Gold Bar’s progress next week! Grtz, Budcrack ;-)
