Really struggling with this soil thing. I chose to grow in M3 Michigan Made Mix with the expectation that my plants would have everything they need within the medium... But this is proving to most certainly not be the case.
With soil, by the time I realize there is a deficiency, I'm a week out from treating it... Whereas in my hydroponic grows, I can resolve that problem within hours. In hydro, if I wake up and my plant looks hungry, I can feed her and by the evening she looks like she's recovering already... Unfortunately the adjustment to a soil frame of mind just isn't coming as gracefully as I had hoped.
I am continuing to add some Coast of Maine Organic Plant Food to the top soil between waterings. I guess next week I'll see if it helped to bring her green back.
If anyone else has any suggestions, please don't be shy! This is my first soil grow and I'm trying to navigate it as best I can, but I could always use words of wisdom!
I have successfully cloned both of these plants just in case I have a favorite when this all finishes out. ๐ It was my first time at attempting to clone so it was pretty freaking exciting when I finally saw some roots!
Both the Clones are in solo cups of M3 and both already have roots down to the bottom of the cups. ๐ So cool! ๐๐๐
This is Voodoo Mama Juju, signing off! โ๏ธ๐๐ฑ
@CRiSPrGrow, Thank you!!! I was really happy with the artist who took my awkward as hell concept sketch and made it look like this! I got slaps, I would totally send one your way ๐.
@CRiSPrGrow, I think it is some luck. I grow by the seat of my pants. All I do is ph balance ferts. and water. No soil or runoff tests. I only use base ferts. and cal-Mag. I see diaries using 8-10 different chemicals. For me itโs keep it simple stupid. I could never figure out problems if I had all those variables. Thank for the compliment.
Nice. I donโt have anyone developing new strains specially for me. If they did It would be call Lucky shit dumb grower OG. Lol good luck. Iโve seen your grow. I think luck has very little to do with your grows.
I like your defoliation technique I am going to be more aggressive on my next grow to avoid all that lower larf. as always your highness your diaries are informative and well documented.
Cheers
@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, I use my sous vide to infuse mine! I follow the instructions over on sousweed.com. I've done butter before but prefer coconut oil! โ๏ธ
@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, Thanks, growmie! Yeah I used to not care about keeping the extra popcorn bud because I make oil. But at this point, I have more than enough popcorn stash for oil.... So while I have so far always grown from the standpoint of "waste not" when growing my plants, it's time to try something different. This time I'm only targeting the quality bud for smoking enjoyment ๐๐จ
off to the races๐
I am using the california lightworks 500 solar extreme,
not adjustable like yours,but I love the full spectrum it
gives right out of the box๐๐ plants seem to love it๐ช
Grow Big๐
@northernMike, Nice! I grew with mine for two full very satisfying runs before I emptied my wallet some more for the spectrum control. Jury's still out as to whether or not I really notice an improvement, but this will be my first time using it in an environment that isn't giving me issues so this will be its time to shine! (dorky pun absolutely intended)
Nice job, plants look really happy๐
I picked up another CLW xtreme 500, plants love the extra light, zero dark corners.๐
Now I'm battling the heat, trying to keep the temp at 22c in the day, nighttime 17-18c.
Luck and Grow Big!!
Looking healthy, I think your spot on with your sexing 2F and 2M the males will usually get taller faster as well so they can dump there pollen on the shorter females. you still have time before the males swell with pollen but the small spade is a good indicator that they are dudes. Sexing can take up to 6 weeks between 4-6 they should start showing signs then you can send the males to the Sarlacc pit. good video.
Lady looking great! Happy and healthy lady (hopefully). Always wanted to cross my own strain. Looks like you did quite well. Nice work. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck moving forward growmie.
P.s you got these fire genetics for sale somewhere? What about that sticker? I need that one on my stoner sticker collage
