I thought I would be starting this diary with a seed based grow. Turns out that I am starting up this diary again with a diary about clones of Citrique.
What a wonderful plant. Its fast growing, the sativa in her assures one of that and the smell is very pungent, perhaps one of the most pungent and appealing smells I have come across so far... Therefore, here we are. While I am waiting to find worthy Cookies plants to use for a mono grow, these Citrique girl clones were ready for their planting and the phenos have impressed me with their potency. Lets see if I can control my growing variables well enough to see this one through, unlike the last.π
Happy growing GD friends.
Good luck with you're new beans !!π Just read you're Green Crack Diary - Nice !!π I've got a G.C cross called Dresden Green Diamond from Garden of Green seeds, and got a pack of Cali Bay Dream for free !! Growing my other freebies first though !!
Looking good mate ππͺ another good trick to encourage your roots to fill the pot is to only give a light watering after transplanting and also the next feeding. A drier medium will force the roots to search for more water/nutrients πβοΈπΊ
@TheFoxFarmer, Agreed, I have used Clonex Root Maximizer and Great White before but I have never heard any talk of lowering your ppms as you do so. This makes sense to me now after wondering why I have a problem with over vegetation, even when dropping my N nutes to compensate. Let's see if I have it right this time. Famous last words. cheers bro. ππͺπ
@Mr_Positivo, look back at my first several months ugly plants (though I did get some good smoke). Youβll make improvements each time and discover the new problem that you couldnβt see because of the one you just fixed. π
@TheFoxFarmer, Thanks bud. Going to pull it apart today so I can install a light mover. Hope I don't mess up my scrog too much. We'll see. πΆ
Cheers.
@Tazard, Thanks Taz. Hopefully all the bits of info I need to grow well have fallen into place. It feels like it. Next run will tell if it was a fluke or not. ;-)
Iβve found that an 8w wants N and rooting hormone for 3w. Add 1w for each week over 8w. For example Acid Dough is a 10w Plant she will stretch (uses N) for the first 5w. Her roots also expand for the same 5w. Oh also when she no longer wants N she will get burned tips (N toxicity) this is when I switch to my flower mix. The last 2 weeks before flush I give her overdrive (PK boost).
Excellent insight, Taz. Thanks for sharing. My girls are not maturing quickly, The pistils have only started dying back coming up to week 7. My guess is they are going to run 9- 10 Weeks. 8-9weeks is what the strain documentation says.
Let's see. Cheers.
@Mr_Positivo
SHOULD, Be all good, you don't want to in general give any nitrogen after week ,3 of flower, that being said I have in an wk 5 of a 10 week plant and all went well. βοΈ
@MG2009, Thanks for sharing your experience, MG. Pleased to hear over N-ing didn't mess up your grow and it turned out well. I expect my grow will be fine also although very stretched out it is in budlet city. The light is on a mover so deep penetration into the canopy is not a problem here. Funnily enough, the top buds are the ones that are underlit. Happy growing, brother.ππ
