04/01/2020: The Star Pupil is starting her purple fade!
- raised the lights 1" as the tops start growing
- defoliated both plants to increase airflow and light penetration to the inner growth
04/02/2020:
- watered all 3 plants, filtered water pH: 6.15, 1mL/gal TPS CalMag AOC, 12ml/gal TPS-One. the "SP" and "FS" got 2 gallons each, the LBF F2 got 0.5 gallon.
04/03/2020:
-installed reflectors from Elevated Grow to my LED pucks
- noticed the Star Pupil is starting to claw and looks darker green, I'll have to cut down on the TPS-One feed next watering to prevent more Nitrogen excess.
04/05/2020: took the pics after defoliating and watering so she looks a bit sad
- defoliated the plants heavily. The Star Pupil was so bushy it need it, went a little bit less heavy on the Five Star as she's a lot less compact. Also removed most of the new growth below the ScrOG net.
- watered both plants, filtered water pH: 6.15, 1mL/gal TPS CalMag AOC, 10mL/gal TPS-One. 2 gallons each.
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
