Day 30 - Continuing to do some light defoiliation, but the big news today is the start of LST'ing. I'm always conflicted on how early to start this - I don't want to start too soon for fear of harming the plants, but this one looks like I should have started sooner. Anyway, everything is looking good. I'm hoping the plant will gain some more height before the flip in a couple of weeks.
Day 31 - Did a bit more LST'ing today. Also, did a top dressing/feeding of mycorirza and beneficial bacteria. Getting really good branching.
Day 33 - Continuing to do some light defoiliation, also LST'ing whenever I find a branch that needs it.
Day 35 - Got thru week five; one more week to the flip!! Also, I've already noticed a weak smell coming from this lady, I believe this is the first time I've noticed a smell before the flip - hope this is a sign of things to come!!
@bellevegasj, Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it! This is my first time growing this strain, so I'm glad to hear your review _ I can't wait to fire some up myself! Best of luck with your grow too!
@@ShotGunBob, Thanks man, I appreciate that! I'll definitely check out your diaries. I'm new around here and, in general, new to growing. Folks like you are the reason I've had a little bit of success so far and, with continued help, I'm sure I'll have lot's of luck in the future!! Happy growing!
You’re making me want to pop my other two seeds of this one! I’ll be looking for those dark colors to come through in the next couple weeks. Have very much been enjoying smoking this strain, and from the looks of this lady you will too. The effect of my pheno doesn’t come on right away, but after about 10 minutes it hits you like a freight train.
Looks great! I think you’ve got a much different pheno than the one I just took down. Haven’t tried it out yet but it looks super dank. Looking forward to seeing what yours does over the next 6 weeks. You running coco?
@bcizzle, I hear you on not pre-buffering your coco, I've made that mistake also. As a matter of fact, in addition to soaking in cal-mag, I started running at least a couple of gallons of mixed nutrients thru the coco once it's in the grow bag, right before I transplant into it. Again, thanks for stopping by and your comments.
@mageman314, I dried mine just a touch too long but I think it’s curing ok. Will probably try it out this week or next. This was my 2nd grow in coco/perlite and mistakes were made, mostly caused by not soaking my coco in a cal mag solution to buffer it. Really screws up the cation exchange and I won’t make that mistake again. Would never go back to soil though, and it looks like you’re on the right track. Very happy looking girl you’ve got there.
@bcizzle, Thanks for stopping by! I just checked out your grow; wow! she turned out super frosty. I know you can't wait to blaze some of those buds!
Yes, I'm running about a 60/40 coco/perlite mix. I started out trying to run soil, but that was a disaster - damned near burnt everything to a crisp lol.
So far I'm liking this pheno, but she seems to be real picky about pH, I've got to watch it like a hawk.
Anyway, thanks again. I hope my bud ends up looking as frosty as yours 😉 Happy growing!
@RastaGrow, Thanks for checking in on me, I really appreciate that!!! Yea, I'm fine. I just also grow hydro vegetables and I've been really busy with that for the past couple of weeks. Good news is that I should have last weeks diary posted in a day or two, then, probably sometime next week, I should be harvesting this lady!!! Can't wait!! Hope all is well with you friend!🤟🙏
@RastaGrow, Yes, they do :-) I was looking at your 707 Headband diary a couple of weeks ago and mistakenly thought I was looking at my own pics, LOL. Thanks for stopping by and great luck with your grows!!
@RastaGrow, thanks for stopping by and also for all the likes - I really appreciate that. You are correct about the humidity, where I live has been very humid for about a month. I wasn't too worried about it at first, because I was still in veg and had very good air flow, but now in flower, I'm looking into ways to correct the humidity without having to purchase a dehumidifier. Thanks for your advice!!
Love your diy watering system, how's it compare to hand watering? Could you explain it a bit more? Looking for alternatives to. Hand watering gets old fast.
