Pink Kush Day 21 - 2020.01.21: Hello friends, I'm sorry for being delinquent in commenting on this grow; I got hit by a car last autumn and I'm still struggling a bit with depression and anxiety (hence the weed!). Let me assure you that the Shishkaberry from last year was very helpful 😌
So to begin with I have to thank Barney's Farm for their great genetics. These seeds can be found as part of their Cali Collection: https://www.barneysfarm.com/pink-kush-455 or if you're here in Canada: https://niagaraseedbank.com/product/pink-kush/
Ok, both young plants are doing well at the end of the third week (calculated from when the taproots were put into the Jiffys).
This week I started the regular fertigation schedule for the vegetative period. I'm getting very precise with the measuring of the nutrients, I'm using some industrial syringes for accuracy like Dr. Coco recommends. The TDS is high - I'm working on it.
Next week I think they'll be ready to top to begin the HST.
Alright gang, I'll close for now, with love. 😊
Are there major differences between the various brands of pH Down? What should I look for in the labelling? I've even heard of quick dissolve tablets to add to the fish tank to auto balance the pH. What have been your experiences? Thanks.
Good question man. I didn't think of this when I didn't first grow and I have since changed to a different brand after learning a couple things. I can't tell you exactly what the ingredients are, but it's a very, simple acid base solution. And there isn't much of any difference between pH downs besides concentrations.
I first bought General Hydroponics pH down with 237ml worth for 8-9 bucks. We go through a lot of this stuff (well me, anyway. Very high pH water table where I live) and that's expensive... So I tried a brand called future harvest. One liter, exactly twice the concentration, exact same results...9 bucks😮. I realized I was buying brand name and besides organic pH down solutions, there's really any, if nothing, of a difference between them. Get bang for your buck with pH up and down. Nutrients are where the cash is more important.
Cheers man👍👍 Happy grows
Pink Kush Day 22 - 2020.01.22: Moved them out of the 'nursery' AKA the warm humid bathroom under the little CFLs to the closet, under the big old 1000w HID. The humidity levels dropped significantly resulting in the leaves curling. As this is an Indica strain, they weren't affected for long.
Day 23 - 2020.01.23: FIMd them without issue - they began to regrow by the following morning - this is a good hardy strain.
Day 27 - 2020.01.27: Fertigated per above.
Pink Kush Day 33 - 2020.02.02: This morning I began to transplant them into their final pot, a 3 US Gallon fabric grow bag, only to realize that I didn't have enough Promix left. I watered them with plain pH'd water (137 ppm) and let them stand knee deep in their new homes.
These are really strong, healthy, bushy plants - so far so good!
Pink Kush Flowering Day 15 - 2020.02.19:
Started defoliating. Of the 2 lovely ladies, I topped one and FIMed the other. It's been interesting to watch the difference in their reactions. I'm looking forward to comparing the final yield of each.
The FIMed one is 34 cm tall (13.5") while the one that was topped is 28 cm (11")
PS: They're starting to smell wonderful!!!!
