GROW πͺ
Growth has stopped completely. The Triple Gs are medium in height (tallest plant : 106cm). A few plants have remained small.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NUTRITION π
The plants receive their nutrition via the biotabs tablets. I put four plants in each pot and I put 3,5 biotabs in each pot.
No shortages. π On the contrary, the leaves of the Triple Gs are darker than dark green π½ and the tips of the leaves show no signs of burning.π
42 days later after repotting and using the biotabs tablets., I have given- as Biotabs recommends - the plants a one-time dose of 20 ml Orgatrex (5-1-5) on 500ml water per pot. This Growth & Flowering booster is a greasy substance full of organic material.
"Orgatrex helps to maintain your soil life in optimal condition. You need a healthy soil for healthy plants and Orgatrex helps you to achieve this. Orgatrex works great in both the growing or blooming cycle. With its high content of trace elements and sugars, Orgatrex works in harmony with beneficial soil bacteria and mycorrhizae fungi. NPK: 5β1β5 with balanced quantities of Zn, Cu, Ca, Mn, Mg, S, Si and Fe. Certified 100% Organic. "

FLOWERS π
The plants are now investing all their energy in flowering. They make more and more flowers and the trichomes are now developing at a rapid pace. The flowers and the smaller leaves now seem to be covered with a silver powder of trichomes. The scent is delicious and with the slightest touch the scent sticks literally and figuratively to your hands.πͺ
Every day I remove one or two fanleaves that literally cast a shadow on the small flower tops.

WATER π¨
All 16 plants consume 9 liters of water daily for 4 autopots (24 liters). There are 4 plants in each pot. π
I try to keep the humidity below 55%. Because of the rainy weather that is not that easy. I don't want the temperature to drop below 25Β°C during the day. At night the electric heating is on, which keeps the humidity below 50%. π
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 π 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 π
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 π
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 π super frosti and all have a really good bud to leaf ratio π
Would you grow again 4 plants in one pot or go back to "just" one? BTW I never tried it by myself π
@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.
