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 😄 & 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 . . . 😎 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.

@DreamCatcher, Coco + perlite is hydroponics & the cardinal rule of hydro is to never let your media dry out. All of the moisture & nutrients have to come from your water. So water every day (twice per day when they become monsters) & ideally have a little to 10% runoff every time. While I bend the runoff rule, I do water the Dr G twice per day out of a batch of nutes that I make up daily (6l currently).

@HighRoller909, I am happy to oblige. 😀 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. 😲

Thanks. The Malawi cola is about 10" above the rest of the bud sites. I didn't top her. 12 weeks or more . . . 😄 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. 😎

Great yield mate is it worth the Waiting time in your Opinion??

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 hasn’t 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 – not as rounded as the Malawi – but clearer & stronger than the typical Sativa hybrid commercially available. And that is why it may be worth growing for some – that search for the old school pure Sativa high. This has it.

@Pot_Portraits, I love it . . . just lop off an arm & dry it when your stash runs low. 😋

I have only smoked both once with uncured bud & I layered them on something else, so it is hard to evaluate. Both are ‘up’ 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.

@Grey_Wolf, Sometime . . . 🙏 But I am going to grow it out. However long it takes.

She's looking amazing! But are you sure you have enough space for the Doc? She will grow much bigger than that😋😍

tobedeterminedcommented5 years ago
@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.

Malawi looks very bushy for this stage. Interesting. I know it is a very narcotic sativa.You have a long journey :)

tobedeterminedcommented5 years ago
@HighRoller909, Yes, it is very bushy. And the stalk is beefy as well so it must have a good root structure. All set to get big. 😮
