The Bud development is still very nice but 2 plants have some little problems. First i thought it was overfeeding but now i think its maybe overwatering. I stoped watering with the AutoPot System for 3 days and the problem was not getting worse. Then i started watering with the AutoPots for 3 days again and the problem started to getting worse. What do you guys think ?
Super nice canopy!
Regarding your water problem i can definitely recommend the airdomes, these are awesome and pump air right into the root zone. They make a big difference.
In absence of them, I regularly shut off the res. This allows the medium to dry enough which invites air into the medium, and allows for more vigorous growth.
Alternatively I find in veg, I can turn off the Res for a good few days, again this encourages air in the rootzone and a more noticeable growth rate.
Just keep an eye and keep test the dryness of the soil. And the weight of the pots. You don't want it to dry out completely as the organic nutrients need some moisture.
When I top feed, I turn off the Res for 24 / 48 give the feed then I leave the Res off for a other 24/ 48 hours.
@cee_grow,
I only have the 8.5 liter pots and that's why I was a little stingy with the drainage layer. :expressionless:
Good idea to replace the bubble pipes with some air stones. :+1: Those pipes don't look very trustful to use them very often.
Do you use the airdomes only when the light is on or also at night?
@Trichome_threshold,
I completely covered the airdomes with clay pebbles, 6 or 7 cm with 15 liter pots. I also made extra holes in each of the 4 blue bubble pipes, just for that extra airflow. Maybe next grow i wil use airstones to replace the bubble pipes.
@cee_grow,
Thanks a lot for your input ! Actually i am using the Airdomes already. I think the Problem was, that my drainage layer was not big enough and i didnt turned off the Res. long enough before/after top feeding. Now i switch off the Res. from time to time, and the problem didnt get worse.
How much drainage layer you use ? I used arround 1" (2.5cm) and will go for 2" (5cm) next time.
Looking very very nice.. and I can tell you - the harvest is should to be incredibly wonderful to smell - I had the strawberry smell come on real strong after harvest! and the smoke just blows me away still! Enjoy this beautiful strain :ok_hand:
@HazeyBobby,
Some of my plants smelling like a fruity strawberry candy and some others more like haze. Love both ! :heart_eyes:
The trichomes still not going crazy, but the buds are growing like on steroids. :muscle::sunglasses:
I have seen the diary from @NuggetPawn and its really on point. Love the way he make the hash. :ok_hand::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
@Trichome_threshold, yes it was very much like a sativa - only one was the strawberry whilst the other was the CBD Critical Cure. The strawberry didn't really have a scent until it was drying and to this day opening the jars is just bliss :) smokes harsher than most but it's real knockout gear ... you can collect resin whenever handled - just everywhere :) I have two more seeds and I do hope they are of similar pheno types :grin:
You should checkout the harvest from NuggetPawn "DWC M-L Strawberry Lemonade Second Grow" diary - my mouth drops everytime :)
@HazeyBobby,
Thanks for checking out my diary ! :pray::wink: I also checked out yours ! Looks like you had a very unique Purple Pheno that is looking much more like a sativa compared to the Pheno i have in my run now. :ok_hand::yum: Did your 2 plants had the same strawberry smell ?
Beautiful grow :seedling: nice lollipop work and SOG setup :clap::+1:
