It's been a learning week.
I have to remember to watch my HST branches closely or they will want to grow straight again, or they need their ties adjusted periodically.
She's had some leaves changing colors so I'll need to increase the frequency of nutrient feedings to 3 times a week, and possibly up the dose slightly.
I still have this plant under cfl lighting and I'm amazed that she's grown this well so far...it could be low light levels discoloring her leaves, but unfortunately there just isn't room in the LED tent for it at the moment. So I'll continue to try keeping her happy until I can move her over.
Clone #1 has finally got roots popping out of the peat pod which is great but it definitely took a lot of energy and time to get this far. Possibly this strain isn't a fan of cloning....cause usually it goes much smoother for me.
I'll make some small adjustments and try keeping them both happy.
Happy growing and flowering to everyone.โ๏ธ
@TheBudWhisperer, that's good. Nothing like a garden to keep ya busy.
I have one neighbor who's F-ed up the sun on one side of the property. Boooo ๐๐
You guys stay healthy and sane too.๐๐
@Experimentgreen, thatโs awesome! Good for you. If we had some better full sun areas weโd be doing full on beds but we do some pot grown veg. Every year - just gonna be a little bigger this year me thinks๐. You and yours Stay safe and stay healthy.
@Experimentgreen, hmm good question. I'd try a bit of an experiment and try 1 in each, nutrient rich and 1 in not so hot soil. See if that makes a difference?
@HazeyBobby, she's getting the cut tonight! ๐คฉ
Buds so rock solid...I'm curious how much weight she'll lose when dried. Sometimes buds seem more dense when they're on the living plant.
Did you end up having any luck with these clones with the other supplies? I'm just curious now ๐ I had an accidental experiment myself....that got me pretty interested in cloning so I had to ask.
@Experimentgreen, aww man! I wonder why. Don't feel bad thought. My clone was from an accidental beheading of an autoflowering AK so it's pretty short but flowering ๐ I said oh well it works.
@GrowGirl419, ugh! Its been a nightmare! This friggin plant refuses to be cloned! The only 1 that somewhat made it what so hideous i chucked her out.๐
Now I just started 4 more with only clone powder, and another 2 just in water in the window. We'll see if anything happens.
I've had a recent similar experience with twisted leaves. Twisting is typically associated with pH being out of range at the roots or potentially a genetic trait.
@Experimentgreen, I would love to find a solution to this ... may never get there :) .. by the way, I'm currently learning about VPD and what it means to cannabis - humidity seems to be critical when temps are high (>23*C) ... the curling up of your leaves may well be due to the very low RH levels. I keep trays of water in my tent with a fan blowing on it for evaporation (went from 40 -> 65%), never had success with a humidifier since I don't have RO or distilled water to use in it. And yes, low light always causes some irritation. If only we were looked after so well as these plants :) good luck.
@HazeyBobby, i picked up some more calibration powder and then pen seems "accurate " but I can't help but feel it's still off... I probably need to upgrade to a better one, just for peace of mind.
I think the plant might also be a little irritated by the low light levels too, but I need to wait for some space to free up in my tent.
@TheBudWhisperer, she's a survivor! ๐ But of coarse the 1 cling on cotyledon still has shell residue...i had to pry it off since ive seen the damage that can happen by leaving it on.
@Exotic_Seed, oh it was wicked amazing! Everyone loved it. I'm going to fire up another here very soon....possibly with a Herz alongside it.
๐โ๏ธ
@Mr_Motalovah, thanks friend. It's definitely been one of the better press-able plants, I've had a few that you couldn't squeeze a drop out of an ounce! Lol
@Lillau, Thank you, thank you. ๐
I was very lucky with this plant. She really reminds you how beautiful and special this plant can be. So unique...each one.
Yep Ur right - thatโs a cal mag deficiency showing on those leaves with the rusty spots. Calcium to be specific for sure. I wouldnโt try to correct this though - your so far along in flower that I wouldnโt expect any major issues to result from it with the time left. I assume sheโs only got a couple more weeks. Buds look gorgeous EG๐. Best of luck to the finish๐๐ค๐
@TheBudWhisperer,
Thanks Bud,
I've had a few wild colored leaves popping up recently, but i did find out my ph pen was off by a whole point. I think I got it all fixed up now though so hopefully these are just some leaves that got the shock last and everything will clear up now.
The ph in my areas tap water tends to fluctuate through the year. In January it was coming in around 7.6-8 but now it's dropped down to like 6.8 so I was watering it with wicked low #s without realizing it.
I'm excited for this one to finish...definitely a strain I'd recommend trying if you got the chance. It's been a crazy strong and resilient plant.
Thanks for all the kind words. ๐
Hi, buddy,
Thank you for sharing a new diary with our 100% organic, mostly vegan product line.
Sorry for the late entry, we are unfortunately fully occupied with the bottling process and the supply due to the extreme delivery delays of the bottle manufacturer, which have been going on since March this year.
We wish you maximum success with our products and are looking forward to the final result with your Blue Monkey Grow.
If you have any questions, please contact us via the chat.
@GreenBuzzNutrients,
Hey friends,
Thank you so much for all you kindness and generosity. It's been an amazing grow so far and I'm sure it will end beautifully.
@Treighfunky, lol it's so true. The thought of lifting those 7-10 gallon pots just pisses me right off. I just need to remember to power off the purple lights and turn on something white/yellow for the photos.
This plant definitely exceeded my expectations though...so if you get the chance, grow the blue monkey.
Hey dude, I duno how to reply to questions...?! But thanks for your input, I actually knocked the lights off for about a full day by accident - and I had forgotten.
That really could be it, thanks!!
This is a nice Bush!
@Yucreepin, awe man! I've been there lol. I bumped my timer once without knowing and 3 pins got partially pushed down...enough to turn the lights on for an hour and half right in the middle of the dark cycle!๐คฏ That was a dark day ๐ญ
I hope your stuff gets sorted out. โ๏ธ
She lives. Looking nice and healthy. Sending positive vibes on a successful harvest. Them damn neighbors love eating up all of the sun! I agree, Booo.
Hope your "grandpa garden" turns out perfect. ๐ฑ๐ฅฆ๐ฝ๐ ๐๐๐๐
@Huggomadd, thanks friend. It's always good to keep our mom and pops happy..especially when they get older. So a wicked huge veg garden...with an equally huge ganja garden.๐
@Exotic_Seed, ๐ she survived the fall.... so she'll be given an honorary spot in the garden this summer. Any idea if this strain gets any good colors with the cold outdoor temps?
