GROW ๐
Plants have grown rapidly. GraduallIy I removed the side branches. They look very naked now. But experience has taught me that - especially with SOG - you can almost never overdo it, by removing sidebranches for up to 3 weeks of flowering (depending on the sativa/indica ratio). Usually these branches do not get enough light, so they do not produce many flowers. ๐บ
On DAY 12 : The smallest plant is 36 cm. The largest plant is 60 cm. ๐
------------------------------------------
BLOOM ๐
First flowers appear. The plants already smell very nice ! ๐
------------------------------------------
WATER + NUTRITION ๐ฑ
On day 8 I watered the plants by hand, for the last time: 5 liter water with 2 tablets of RQS Easy Bloom Booster. From day 9 I have connected the autopots to the water tank. Hopefully the biotabs tablets provide enough nutrition for the coming weeks.
------------------------------------------
AIR HUMIDITY ๐จ
To keep the humidity at the desired level, I have to refill the two 7.5 liter humidifiers daily. ๐
As long as the plants do not have real buds, I like high humidity for a stimulating VPD. ๐ช
All the concentrate was from the sugar leaves? That's amazing ! Such a beautiful plant!
How about these auto pots? I've read that on the bottom should be perlite and coco coir, or something like that, not hidroton... I'm surprised by that
@Psilocubensis, Yeah ๐ 35gr concentrate of a collection of 400 gr sugar leaves of Triple G, Mother Gorilla, El Patron and AMG (previous harvests). Made with the Dexso extractor and DME ๐
Beautiful looking buds coming along nicely. Lovely color and thick layer of frost. Great work. Keep doing what you've been doing and may the ganja garden gods bless you along the rest if your journey growmie.
@Nebula420, Exactly as I thought at first. But no signs of any spider mites. Very very very very sporadically I saw some things under the leaves that do not belong there. But no spider mites. Under the magnifying glass, it looked rather like light-green spots but certainly no bugs. I have had the phenomenon for at least 4 weeks, and if it were spider eggs, I would have seen a lot of mites by now.
Thank you for the nice comment on the frosty buds. Yeah, the are really frosty. The almost shine in the dark ๐
Although the smell and taste of Triple G is fantastic, I also suffered from male balls. Probably due to defoliation stress. They appear only during the second and third week of flowering. But enough to provide (unwanted) offspring. I've had it with feminized seeds. That is why I now put regulars and took cuttings from them.
Amazing ๐ super frosti and all have a really good bud to leaf ratio ๐
Would you grow again 4 plants in one pot or go back to "just" one? BTW I never tried it by myself ๐
@KrautFabrik, Because all plants germinated and grew well, I had too many plants. Buying extra autopots was not an option because of the price. Four plants per pot goes very wel. If I had clones I'd do it every time. But with seeds you have so much difference in size, that's a bit of a problem..... In the previous grow (El Patron) I only had one plant per pot, but due to the buds and the long growing time, the plants had a nutrient deficiency in the beginning of flowering.... What I do like is that the autopots allow the plants to drink water individually. Even if they are in the same pot.
