Critical King (Reserva Privada LaHuerta)

AnKeGrow Germination week, 50% Coco substrate, 15% blonde Peat, 15% Humus, 20% Perlite-Pumice, a little Mycorrhizae; First watering without nutrients, second with Mammoth Microbes and Adamas Agate for rooting PH 5.7

AnKeGrow Focusing on rooting and strengthening growth, I add a base growth product (Adamas Jadeite Grow) and Silicon (Top Barrier) to the mix, raising the pH to 5.9.

AnKeGrow We started the third week since I uncovered the seeds, I'm still using the same nutrients but I'm increasing the doses a bit on some products. At the end of the week, I will start using Green Explosion from Top Crop via foliar to increase plant mass and revitalize the plant (let's hope it works really well). As a new development, my portable pH meter has broken, so while I wait for a new one to arrive this week, I will be calculating a bit with what I already have measured in doses. Buddha and Ganesh have also been moved to provide more energy and harmony to the plants. At the end of the third week, I will be switching to a 7-liter pot, using 4 with substrate and leaving space to fill. I stopped using peat for the substrate since it was retaining too much moisture, and some plants that are already in recovery treatment have suffered from it. So now it’s 80% coco, 15% perlite-pumice, and the remaining 5% vermiculite and mycorrhizae.

AnKeGrow After being almost on the brink of death and losing some leaves, they're back and starting to recover nicely. I'm still on treatment this week with just water.

AnKeGrow We start a new week with the Critical King much more recovered, renewing plant mass and color in the leaves + thickness in the stem again. I do a final watering with just water to finish the week again with nutrients. The genetics have behaved very, very well against the adversity of the disease; all 5 CK plants have recovered and are almost perfect again. With the new pH + EC meter, I can now have good control of the grow. Plus, I've reinforced it with a new LED light - Viparspectra P1500 -

AnKeGrow Completely recovered, the Critical King from La Huerta Grow Shop (Reserva Privada La Huerta) and all its sisters look great. This week I will do some cloning, good lateral branches have already come out and the plants look optimal. Some show slight magnesium deficiency, but that's not the case with the CK. Anyway, the next flush for all will be just with water and I'll resume nutrients.

AnKeGrow Pruning-Defoliation week throughout the grow, it was definitely needed, there were too many large leaves blocking light to the lower branches. Also, on pruning day, a small selection of cuttings was made, taking advantage of just 1 day of stress. The first watering of the week before pruning was just with water, and after pruning and taking cuttings, we went back to all the nutrients to finish the final weeks of growth.
