Howdy all and welcome to Week 6, Veg w/ Dutchy. The Deets: The Good: -Hey @Visions, holy crap man. Dutchy is big...just big. I've run out of room with her already and she's just a big ol' bubble now. Even with my screwing around, she still grew like crazy. I honestly can't believe the daily progression on her. She's actually starting to scare me a bit, cause the other's aren't at her pace and need time... but Dutchy is itching to go😐. -Dutchy was my test feed of a full late veg schedule w/ GP3, Monday. Went really well and 48 hours after the process I feel her health has come back very well. Color is evening out, new growth is green and not holding the same deficiencies as older growth. The older growth is slowly getting there, but I feel this will take some time....or they may just have to go eventually. -Happy and comfortable with her and will be moving to transitions feedings and transplant this Saturday (23rd). The Bad: -Good for now, better then before, no complaints👌 The 'Meh': -Notes of the week will have a copy/paste of info b/t SC and Dutch Dragon. Quick run-down of my mistakes, mis-conceptions and bounce back. -Aforementioned space issues. SC is smallest so these two will probably be side by side for the entire grow. Notes of the Week: -Long and short of it, I was way off about my plant symptoms. The process I went through was probably completely unnecessary and/or could have been done in a much easier and faster way. Unfortunately, a lot of things only "click" in retrospect, hahaha. Anywho, under-fed... a lot. Then I heavily flushed them and I couldn't take it back....cool. Last week's aforementioned full feed was applied and all of the girls took it well. Within 24 hrs, symptoms and coloring's were already pulling back. Mainstay/Noticeable deficiencies were Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Magnesium, all of which have improved. Three days since the test feed on Dutch Dragon without any problems, just improvements. I will be moving to transitions feedings on their next go and completing a transplant of all 4 girls from their 3 gallon to 5 gallon final homes. Amending the soil with Gaia Green Bone Meal to condition my pH throughout Bloom. Dolomite lime was suggested and I did look into it (again), but I purchased the bone meal last grow to do about the same job. Not as good as Dolomite lime, but serviceable with a slightly faster release of P/Cal. As for Magnesium, I will find something to help if Cal/Mag supplementation doesn't do the job. -My retrospective thinking is telling me this wasn't necessary because I could have continued the normal schedule at a higher pH and heavier run-off. In time the issues ( I feel ) would have worked themselves out, the ppm's would have dropped and the pH would have aligned. This, or I could have applied a single heavy flush (not two) with Flawless finish, dropped those ppm's in one go and start again. Would have saved several days. Live and learn, even though I wish I would have seen things more clearly from the onset. Ah well. -All but PSK are bushy girls and I've started to defo here and there as they puff out. Doesn't seem any amount of LST is opening them up, anymore. Under-carriage is clean, but slowing working from the bottom up and taken suckers as they pop up. -High Humidity and colder temp issue atm. Meh. Extractions been on 24/7 for a bit and I've been using the ceramic heater again (including the day). That's the week folks, thanks for stopping by. Genuinely hope you all have a good week and take care. Talk at you soon✊😀

JinksyGrowsstarted grow question 5 years ago
Starting to select next grow genetics. I know half of what I want but have a short list of the others. Main one I'm looking at is an OG gelato. Have you grown it? What's it like and what bank would you suggest. International is fine with me. Thanks in advance.

I did grow gelat. Og. From seedsman and it was an easy, fun plant to grow. Lovely unique and unusual kushy flavour but not the strongest weed at all. Bubba kush is one I've heard nice things about too. The runtz from zamnesia is getting me excited, going to flip to flower soon! 🌱👍

I wonder what dominant you will receive. Mines super fox taily and sativa speaking everywhere. Seen a lot of dragons with more indica traits than sativa traits. Looking forward to see what yours does 😊

@JinksyGrows, wait until flower. In really excited to see how yours buds out. Many other dutch dragons I've seen dont have crazy sugar leaves compacted all over the buds. It's going to be a trimmers nightmare hahaha.

Guess that she doesn’t store enough water in her leaves and stem. You can either the environment or train her to adapt. For young seedlings, I use small battery operated water pump with timer. On the other hand, what doesn’t kill her will make her stronger ????

JinksyGrowscommented5 years ago
@Med_in_Tropic, You're correct, me thinks. I just gave a good feed and upped my P w/ an adequate amount of Cal/Mag. I feel the root system isn't defined enough to support the top side growth... So your idea is the way to go. Slowing down the heavy N/K and going back to work on the roots for a bit. Thanks so much man. I thought about what to do, a lot. But this seems like the right path to take. Cheers for the guidance👍👍
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrowscommented5 years ago
@Med_in_Tropic, I totally I agree. I think her root system is still beyind/damaged. I threw in bone meal and have been dosing some Cal/mag. I'm hoping it just catches up so it can properly support the top side growth. Requires more patience. Not my best suit, hahaha.

Surprised about the change in nutes line already ... and Future Harvests is Dutch?? have you used them before?
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrowscommented5 years ago
@HazeyBobby, I thought the same thing at first when I saw the Holland part! I have years and years to go too brother. Life long learning curve. I'm positive I'll find a nutrient line I like only for a new line to come out that I want to try😅. I hope there's no pressure 😀, haha. It'll be awhile
HazeyBobby
HazeyBobbycommented5 years ago
@JinksyGrows, cool - good to know. I just saw the formula called Holland ... and thought hmmm... when one day you settle on a line - I'll make the switch once I run out of my GHE 👍 no pressure... I got years of growing at my pace to go :)
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrowscommented5 years ago
@HazeyBobby, Yah, me too. I'm still trying to find a good fit and just want to try a couple more lines to see difference, it any. Oh! And Dutch treat is a potting soil. Future Harvest is out of Kelowna British Columbia 👍.

What is the purpose of your Bamboo sticks? Is that just for branch support during the late stages?
DeepRootGrows
DeepRootGrowscommented5 years ago
@JinksyGrows, that’s a great idea. That is one thing I hate about skrog is it’s impossible to move the plant for sometime.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrowscommented5 years ago
@DeepRootGrows, For mobility I use bamboo sticks instead of a scrogg. It's more work, but I'm able to move them around as I please👍. I insert the bamboo when I do final pot up, into the new soil where there is no root system yet. I use it at first to train the plants outwards and inner laterals into open positions. When I flip, I remove most the training wires and then use the bamboo to brace them inwards over time. As the stretch continues, I can see what and where I need to make adjustments. During flower, none of the new wires are pulling, just bracing the laterals in place. Holds the flower weight very well and I can use them to create an even canopy and adjust as needed👍. This is all to avoid scrogging, for mobility. Can be a pain in the ass too, though. Haha!😅
