All is well with the ladies now that I have calmed down with nutes & additives. I cut back to the Canna A + B only. They are not showing any deficiencies & they are growing well so that is when you should always just keep doing what you are doing. EC is 0.7. I could probably push them higher but I will just coast. I just started 3 litres per plant per day yesterday so they are starting to drink more. I continue to spot defol the monster fan leaves - particularly on the bushy Malawi.
I have started positioning my side light strips (lowering, tilting, moving them out a bit) to get into the foliage with the main light riding straight overhead. This system seems to work really well & it doubled my tents output in the last grow, so fingers are crossed for the same result with this one.
The Malawi is at 23” so I gave it a booster to bring it up to the same height as the Dr. Grinspoon which is at 30”. Supercropping the Dr. G. leveled out the top 3 bud sites nicely which was my goal. They have been in 12/12 for 2 weeks now & only the Dr. might be showing some pre-flower. I say might, because the new leaves that emerge are so thin that they look like flower pistils.
@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. 😎
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.
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 😂
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.
@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.
