03/23/2020: The Long Bottom Fighter F2 is a male. I figured id experiment with it a bit, so I defoliated it heavily, only keeping the last 2 nodes worth of leaves.
03/25/2020:
- Watered all 3 plants, 11mL/gal of TruePlants' TPS-One, 1mL/gal TPS CalMag AOC, filtered, PH 6.15 (as recommended by the feeding schedule). Star Pupil and Five Star got 2 gallons each, the "LBF" F2 got 0.5 gallon.
- Took the "LBF" F2 out of the tent to increase air flow under the canopy (and it's a male). Put it on the balcony, see how she does in this Chicago "spring".
- Received an order from Great Lake Genetics, bought a 7-pack, feminized, of Kastu Pupil (Mass Medical Strains). The frebies that came with it are: Putang Nevil Chem, Putang x Cake Fighter, Death Star x Apollo 13 F4, Kashmir x Sunshine Day Dream x Acopolco Gold.
03/26/2020: The Five Star is outgrowing the scrog net, might want to veg her for 6 weeks instead of 8 next time I run this strain. The Star Pupil is doing great tho, stretching her more and more while tucking them leaves, the 2 broken branches also recovered nicely!
03/29/2020:
- Watered all 3 plants, 12mL/gal of TPS-One, 1mL/gal TPS CalMag AOC, Filtered water, PH 6.1. The Star Pupil and Five Star got 2 gallons each, the "LBF F2" for 0.5 gallon
- spent a while tucking leaves on both "SP" and "FS", as well as cut down a couple of the leaves on the "SP" to increase air flow and bring light to some of the smaller offshoots.
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
