*********Week 6 - January 13 to 19, 2020 (Days 36 to 42 from germination)
This is going to be a brief update but that’s a good thing 😀 The week went by pretty quick and overall it was great progress. She stood up more and her bud sites set in and are starting to stack.👍 Her colour holding, on the darker side, and her leaves are still narrow. In a way.....don’t care though......not growing leaves😜😃
Have done some further cleaning on the bottom and removed a couple of leaves that were blocking. Took off a couple of low nodes as well. Introduced Massive this week for bud density. She has a thick main stem but not excessive....little less than a quarter. She has lots of bud sites with six main stems that should fill-in nicely. Should help increase yield😎👍
Keeping wet and happy is a balance. She was good with 2L last week and by the end of the week now she wants close to 3L. I also bumped up the CalMag on one of the feedings a bit to help ensure she doesn’t show issues. Don’t want to use CalMag much longer though because she already gets lots of nitrogen.
Not sure how much longer to feed......will go another full week for sure. I suspect she will run a full 9 weeks and more likely 10 weeks, then if allowing a 2 week flush you only go through week 7....and maybe 8.....thats next week or week after! Therefore, even if I push it I will likely only go another 2 weeks of feeding😟😓😕 Crap time goes fast!!!!!! Gonna have to ensure she is wet and happy👌
Little more detail:
Jan 13/20 - Day 36
- 1L feeding of Sensyzime, Piranha, Voodoo Juice @ 2ml/L. Not pH’d......water been running 6.3. this was in the AM
- PM feeding 2L only Dual Fuel @ 1ml/L, Liquid Weight and Rezin @ 1.5ml/L = 575ppm pH 5.8.
- trying out the Green Planet line so I introduced Massive this week.
- lowered temps in room at night. Down to 65 degrees.
- suspect the narrow leaves where grower error and nutrient balance......growing buds anyways......saves from a leaf strip at this point in the grow:)
Jan 14/20 - Day 37
- Hit her harder today with full strength feed. 5.95pH
- Pots were light so 3L feed. Not completely dry......just enough moisture left....3L had a fair bit of run-off.....eating a little less than the other big girl.
- Rhino Skin back in for some more silica.
- Didn’t go......holly crap she got big last night😮😮.....but she continues to get taller.....the bud sites white hairs really pop now.
Jan 15/20 - Day 38
- 2L feed today. Only giving base nutrients and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L pH 6.1.
- runoff water: 900ppm and 6.0pH.
- drinking more now and she doesn’t give run-off before 2L minimum.
- keep an eye on the ppm not getting too high and consider increasing her moisture.
Jan 16/20 - Day 39
- 3L full feed today.
- want to strip a bunch of her leaves!!!! Keep tucking the leaves but even those stems are stubborn.....good problems👍😝
Jan 17/20 - Day 40
- She is hungry :)
- 3L feed full strength.
- runoff water: 1400ppm, 5.9pH........medium in okay shape.....little high ppm given what’s been going in.
- Good growth last night....liked the nutes👊 Don’t get to eager through😳 too much at this point and she won’t consume them all😉
- In the tent with only Zkittelz is giving a little extra room and she is loving it.
Jan 18/20 - Day 41
- She was not dry in the AM but rather inbetween.
- watering with supplementals.......Sensyzime, Rezin, Liquid Weight, VeloKelp, Piranha, Voodoo....and CalMag.
- 2L with 240ppm and 6.2pH
- nothing in PM.....pots still wet......she is looking for a little less than 3L per day still roughly.
- They are growing taller......top of tallest nodes falling to sleep sooner at night.
- replaced CO2 in tent.
- Very happy today and good growth with leave up.
- 24” tall and 28” wide......with LST.
Jan 19/20 - Day 42
- 3L feeding again today. Full strength again.
- runoff: 1350ppm and 6.0pH.......still a little more left in there than going in.
- stripped two lower nodes and 1 huge fan leaf.
- her buds are getting wider and taller....filling in😎 lots of them......or at least they jump out more with how she is growing👊
- she is happy....keep the same and don’t change things......less than two weeks feed left.
Have a great week fellow growers.......
@Buddha2,Thanks for stopping by!!
Your Zkittlez are looking very nice........#2 should have a nice yield......love the colors coming out in her.
Happy growing!!!
@PrairieFrostGrow,No puck luck😩+ injuries😥, but they are playing hard👍
so things might turn around🙏.
Luck with your plant, looks really good👌
Stay Warm, Grow Big!!
@northernMike,Thanks very much for taking the time!! Love growing this plant!!
She is actually still going. Going to update later today........when I pulled out of darkness her trichs just weren't there.......put her back in the tent, kept her cold and wet........damn......frost increased and she is just about there now!!! As always......Patience Bro! So hard some times😀😀
What the heck is with fighting for a playoff spot???? Injuries suck.....
Cheers Sir!
@Denzul,Thanks for the comment! She has been an unexpected surprise😀 I was not sure how she would grow and what the yield would be like. I knew she is an XL but was not expecting her to be as tall.
Have an awesome week!!
@PrairieFrostGrow, You're more than welcome... You've got skills and I've always been a person to give respect where it's due, and yes the site and growing many strains at once does keep me busy but when you enjoy what you do you never really pay attention to how much you're actually doing, and to be honest, I think this website is a cannabis lovers dream, I can't help myself from jumping on and seeing the latest strains and diaries.😊
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, hey thanks very much for the comment🙏
You are a busy person around the site I see plus keeping up several diaries of your own at once.....hats off to you!!!
I think it brings a smile to any growers face when they receive a comment or a like from a fellow enthusiast such as yourself .....one of the reasons for the success of this site.
Much grower love to you and thanks😀
I am looking at Sweet Seeds. From your grow report, I am convinced to go with Green Poison genetic.
I am in a hot climate and purple shouldn’t come out for me.
Thanks for detailed pics.
Good Day @Med_in_Tropic, I was very happy with Green Poison and with the different versions they have I am sure you will find one that fits your climate. XL Auto worked out well for me😀
Talk to me in January Bud.......I'll take your climate in a heartbeat and sacrifice colours😂😂😂
Have a great week Med
@Med_in_Tropic,Hey Med.......hope you are doing well. Thanks for much for the sentiments!!!
Been busy in life the last couple of weeks......its time to get checking back in on everyone😀
I always feel honored to see a comment from you.......Cheers!!!
@@ShotGunBob,Hey ShotGun.........Sweet Seeds have been very stable for resilient in my grows!!!!!
I am a big fan of their genetics and their new lines have some FIRE looking strains!!!
Happy growing to you........
If you have yet another week, stem splitting or snapping can increase sweet buds. This is the “Colombian Gold” practice.
And a little more feeding helps.
Last week I always go for yoghurt and molasses.
@Med_in_Tropic,I am going to follow this up with you more in the weeks ahead!!!
At that point she was down already. I was thinking about drilling some holes in her stem for example to add some stress and help resin production. I just dismissed that though and then I saw this post from you. Thinking that I will try out the Colombian method next run.
Have a great weekend Med!!
@Ganjagrandaddy, Good Day.....thanks for the comment! Yeah.....I wish the suckers would send me a card😁 Lots of bottles but its not too bad as there is usually only or two feeds a week with everything👌
Keep growing them big buds like you have been...cheers!!!
@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks for the good vibes.......Just coming off a summer of Gorilla Girl by Sweet Seeds......beautiful purples came out in one pheno and frosty like crazy...ran her three times and very consistent. Got the freebie ordering Cream 47....looking forward to it after the auto run.....muchas gracias
Turned out nice.....I have had good results with LST....I had great results with HST super cropping...
WELL INTO FLOWER ALMOST END OF STREACH....I snapped the main stalk just under the cola stacking.....MADE MASSIVE BUDS....I had a height problem...but it worked on both plants the same....HUGE PRODUCTION....easily doubled tripled output....ON AN AUTO TOO
Now I'm FLUXING MAINLINING one and LST on another....my first PHOTO grow so I have the time to train completely....I don't like auto's NICE TO FINISH FAST GET WEED NOW, but a waste of time and money over all....
Also ONE QUESTION....when you check your run off.....ARE YOU WAITING ON THE LAST FEW DROPS?????
do it both ways...initial run off PPM & PH.....then LAST DROPS ONLY....totally different readings.....
First should be perfect...last drops should be highly concentrated...PART OF THAT IS THE BAG ITSELF...…
I don't like fabric stays soggy doesn't RUN OFF WELL ENOUGH....air pots are cool....BUT I LIKE GRO PRO...with cut outs all over...ADD A FEW MORE HOLES IN THE BOTTOM.....
I find my Run off is usually right at 5.85 or so in coco....but thats using a FLUSH from CYCO Kleanse.....I dont PH the FLUSH its like 4.3ph in R/O water....I feed at 6.0 my run off after four gallons is 5.85
FLUSHING CAN DROP PH EASILY.....LOWER PPM BUILD UP....then feed a 50% full line up for the final pour over at your DESIRED PH....
Thats what I noticed from checking ph and ppm of my run off while flushing.....after VEG, mid Flower before swell, and before harvest....
8 gallons usually drops my 1400pom flower feed to 600ppm run off......BUT LAST FEW DROPS FIRST COUPLE GALLONS...LIKE 2450ppm......so I DUMP WATER TILL IM LIKE 8-600 about 8 gallons...…
might help you LOWER YOUR TOTAL PH....
A total pro grow . You must have to tie string round your waist for safety when you enter this jungle. wow. Do love a room full of young budding plants , has a real vision of things to come and usually needed after all the waiting. top notch 👍😎
