******** Week 9 - Feb 3 to 9/20 (Days 57 - 63 from seed popping out)
She has continued to swell this week and stacking her buds. The hairs are turning this week. Kind of a boring week in a way because she has been such an awesome girl to grow!! Have not spent anytime looking at Trich colour this week.....too early anyway.
What I have reflected on is that this girl has been very impressive to grow even though I have thrown curve balls at her. A little more attention to the LST ensuring a more even canopy and lighten the feedings, this girl can impress!😍 I wouldn’t get let her go in a tent as she will likely be kissing the light at some point😃 XL strain anyways.💪 On bigger branches I would clip off another node lower than I did to give a little more energy to fill in the tops. Not sure this girls top colas will fill in as much as one would like but........take your time girl😀
Much debate this week over how long she will run in order to determine her last feed.🤪 She had her last feed three times😃 but it was finally Saturday Feb 8, Day 62 as the last day of feed. Plan it to just flush with water and Rezin & Liquid Weight to the end.....or early 70’s anyway.
Changed the light schedule again this week. Moved her to 19.5 hours of light because she is still not falling to sleep at lights out.
Given she has been very green and tips were burnt a fair bit, will likely use Flawless Finish to flush the medium.
Little more detail:
Feb 3/20 - Day 57
- Water feed today. Runoff in tray was 6.3pH from yesterday.
- 3L plain water. 30ppm and 5.8pH going in.
- One minute she looks to be swelling and then others you think she is stalling.....”watched pot” idea.
Feb 4/20 - Day 58
- Full feed today. Pot still had some weight.
- 3L off full feed with 1125ppm and 6.05pH
- Runoff water in tray before feed: 1900ppm and 6.5pH
- Runoff water in tray after feed: 1800ppm and 6.3pH
- Heavy leaf strip today. She is sticky :)
Feb 5/20 - Day 59
- nothing today.
- noticing more red hairs today....starting to finish more.....lower is still nice and white.....harvest in stages????
- Light cycle changed to 19.5hrs on and 4.5hrs off.
Feb 6/20 - Day 60
- Verify medium today....close to flush
- 3L feed of Sensyzime and Rezin @ 2ml/L and Liquid Weight @ 1.5ml/L. = 100ppm and 5.8pH
- Runoff was 1450ppm and 6.4pH.
- Followed the feed with 2L of 5.2pH water with Sensyzime & Liquid Weight.....bring down pH.
- runoff after that was 1100ppm and 6.3pH.....better :)
Feb 7/20 - Day 61
- Nothing today, still heavy.
Feb 8/20 - Day 62 - ********Last Feed********
- Giving a bit of a flush with Sensyzime, Rezin, and Liquid weight @ 2ml.
- 6L feed with 100ppm and 5.25pH going in.
- Runoff - 350ppm and 6.3pH.
- Evening giver her last full strength feed as listed for the week.
- Going in was 5.2pH as she was not coming down much with high 5pH feeds.
- Medium got a good soak and good runoff amount
- That will be it. Hope she goes 10 to 14 more days....
Feb 9/20 - Day 63
- Dry out day
- raised the light a bit.....will use lower pH water in flush......not much else other than let her dry out at this stage.......
- her top colas are pushing out more new growth.
- the tops are getting wider and forming a point more.
Hope we can drag out harvest day until Feb 22 or 23rd.......🤞😁.....Thanks for the read and hope you have a smooth week!
@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 👍😎
