Growing very well. I am still battling low humidity, so I use a small humidifier in the tent to keep it >25%. I noticed some leaf issues (tips down & some prayer) which I initially thought were either the low humidity or light-related, so I raised the lights a few inches to keep them at 18" or so. Then it dawned on me it might be an excess of nitrogen since the Remo Magnifical cal/mag additive is 3-0-0 & this might not be living well with the Canna Coco nutes. So I stopped using it 4 days ago & things are improving. Slow & sure is always better . . .
The Dr. Grinspoon is growing like a weed ๐ & it is @ 1" per day now - hitting 12". The Malawi was hardest hit by the N excess I would say, so it is only 7" but very bushy.
I just reprogrammed my timer for 12/12, so today is the switch (28 days). Now let's see how big they stretch . . . ๐
Edit: After researching canna coco nutes some more, I decided to add the Remo cal/mag every 4 waterings - so twice a week. In my limited growing experience, you can't rely on filtered or RO water to deliver enough minerals. I have had the classic rust calcium deficiency on my first couple of grows. The GH Cal/mag additive is 1-1-1 so I will switch to it this weekend for more frequent use without an nitrogen spike.
@HighRoller909,
I am happy to oblige. ๐ I decided to try a long sativa grow for a change. My challenge will be to contain them.
Besides, I really want to make some Malawi cobs. ๐ฒ
Thanks. The Malawi cola is about 10" above the rest of the bud sites. I didn't top her. 12 weeks or more . . . ๐
I too have a few Panama regs from Ace that I got as freebies. Some future grow. I plan to run fem Zamadelica next if it fits with my timing schedule since I will be out of country next November. Too many seeds, not enough space or time. ๐
For most growers? No. Far too big & long. If I was doing it again, I would start from 12/12 from seed & transition into 10/14 midway through flower. It hasnโt been curing enough to give a real view on the taste but it is pleasant. The high (from the early harvest) is a cerebral Sativa lift. Clear mind, upper body buzz etc โ not as rounded as the Malawi โ but clearer & stronger than the typical Sativa hybrid commercially available.
And that is why it may be worth growing for some โ that search for the old school pure Sativa high. This has it.
Yes mate your 12 / 12 comment hit it right on the head for the Grinspoon :D I have one on idle in my office in 15 liters, its "only" 180cm talls, that plants just never stops the flower stretch, its so true :D
Yours looking solid mate ! mine still has to go back under the lights but as of now its a office plant ๐
I have only smoked both once with uncured bud & I layered them on something else, so it is hard to evaluate. Both are โupโ highs, of course. I made a cob from 35 grams of the Malawi & I did chew 0.5 grams last week to test. While it tasted like crap (due to a slight flaw in my cobbing), it was very, very good & I was blitzed for hours wearing a big shit-eating grin.
@TheDoctor,
Yeah, it is a big messy plant. Multiple stalks are now above my light level. Even alone in the tent it would have filled it by now. I have it tied over to one side to leave space for the Malawi. I will get what I get I guess.
If the curling you are talking about is that leaf tip clawing, it is early sign of Nitrogen overload. Sativas don't like much N in veg.Even if you havent been giving too much, they tend to be very sensitive to N. You can back off with N on plants that have this sign and it'll be ok
@HighRoller909,
Agreed. I figure the low pH produced some nute lock which spiked the nitrogen. Now that my pH is back to normal, I will cut out all nutes except the Canna A & B & I will run them light. EC of 0.7 - 0.8 for now.
