03/16/2020: First day of flowering!
- watered all 3 plants ("SP" and "FS" 2 gallon each, "LBF" 0.75 gallon), filtered water, PH 6.4-6.5 (it should have been between 6.0 and 6.2 per feeding recommendation), 9mL/gal of TPS-One (trying this new 1-part liquid, full cycle nutrient solution) and 1.5mL/gal o f TPS CalMag AOC.
- Defoliated most of what was under the net.
- split the main stem on the Star Pupil trying to spread her out (she's super bushy) but was able to tape her up and provide support using a twisty-tie.
03/18/2020
- lowered the lights 2"
03/21/2020: the "SP" is starting to spread out a tiny bit!
- watered all 3 plants ("SP" and "FS" 2 gallons each, "LBF" 0.5 gallon), filtered water, PH 6.15 (feeding schedule recommends 6.0-6.2 at this point), 10mL/gal of TPS-One and 1mL/gal of TPS CalMag AOC.
- moving branches and tucking more leaves.
- I still can't tell for sure if the Long Bottom Fighter F2 is a male or a female.
- the Five Star is showing sign of heat stress, moving the lights back up 2"
growing 5 star and it has turned purple with great bud formation in week 7 of flower - takes 8 weeks - also did star pupil but 5 star was the best all round and has that Pack-a-stand along with afghan and Thai _ going to get a very high yield for thisstrain
looks like "n" issues because of the leaves just flush and let plant get very dry before feeding - don't get me wrong great looking plants - these two strains can be difficult
@Azgrows,
have gotten good yields with a 30day veg not counting germination and seedling stages ( I start veg time when there are 3 "true" sets of leaves) I am on week 8 - at the end 60day flower - will be harvesting in 2 days There flowwer times are right on. Here are a few that I have: 5 Star - Star Pupil -Panama Goo -Fisheye OG -Acapulco Gold (a pure sativa heirloom/landrance) and GOJI Pupil
with a 30day flower = 3 foot plant = 1/2 / to 1 lb harvest
@airplane, for sure and thanks brotha!
They're in FF Happy Frog soil (with ~30% perlite), I only started feeding her some FF Big Bloom (barely any N) and some CalMag at 5 weeks. the recent clawing is due to feeding her some of FF's Grow Big once. As for watering I've been letting them getting very dry (3-5 days). I've been reading up Mass Medical Strains' tips and listening to his podcasts, very informative.
They're showing (I think) potassium deficiency but I'm not sure what to feed her without adding too much nitrogen (that's why I tried giving them some FF GrowBig)
Probably gonna veg them a full 8 weeks before flipping to flowering, it's gonna be hard to wait!
I noticed that you didn't get the purple pheno of the Star Pupil. How big were the buds? Large fat kolas or just clusters of bud at roughly a foot or less intervals?
If you can remember. I'm currently growing that strain right now and I've got two purple Phenos and two non purple phenos
watch the "N" with these plants - don't hardly give them much at all and also you can let them get very dry between feeding/watering - mean letting them go for 3-4 days no water
