05/04: planted the germinated seed in solo cups for my next run!
05/05: not much going on, the buds are fattening up and the Five Star is showing more and more purple stripes on the leaves!
- starting to check them trichomes, havn't seen any ambers on the Star Pupil (it has beautiful purple trichs tho!) but the Five Star is showing a few so I'll probably need to let the Star Pupil go an extra week.
- also trimmed a couple of the old fan leaves off of the Five Star
05/06:
- watered the Star Pupil with: 2.25 gallons of filtered water, pH 6.15, 6mL/gal TPS-One, 1mL/gal CalMag AOC, 1mL/gal Silica Gold, 2mL/gal Signal
- watered the Five Star with: 2.25 gallons of filtered water, pH 6.45, 6mL/gal TPS-One, 1mL/gal CalMag AOC, 2mL/gal Signal, 5mL/gal LiquidSoil Remediator
- chopped the LBF F2 male that's been exiled on the balcony for 5+ weeks now, before it starts throwing pollen around
05/08: spotted a few amber trichomes on the Star Pupil so I'll start the flushing process on her, I might be able to harvest her at the same time as the Five Star.
05/09: spotted more ambers on the Star Pupil, looks like she'll be ready on time! that will allow me to use the tent to dry both plants.
- watered both plants with: 1.5 gallon each of filtered water, pH 6.45, 6mL/gal TPS-One, 2mL/gal Signal, 5mL/gal LiquidSoil Remediator. I'm using less water here to have less run off, the LSR needs warm water and 10-15% run-off to work well.
Next week will be flushing with ph'd water before the harvest!
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
