Hello all. This is Week 7, Veg w/ Dutchy. The Deets: The Good: -Great growth, great color and back to normalcy. Very happy to see her thrive and seems to be totally back on track. Happy day😀 -Training and pruning is pretty much a wrap and she took everything very well. Form is good and I'm hoping she grows evenly during the flowering stretch. -Transplant and transitions feeds were applied and she took these well, as well. No issues what so ever. PH is back in line at 6.1/6.2 and ppm's have leveled off to a non "holy crap!" number. The Bad: -Notta. Good week👍 The 'Meh': -No more space, but that's cool. We're going to flip and I'm going to brace her inwards pretty soon here. Should make moving a lot easier. -DD got a little wind burn before transplant, too. Low end circulation was knocking them around pretty fierce, but that has stopped with the 5 gallon transplant. They're not in the line of fire anymore. Notes of the Week: -All transplants were done with a 15mL/Gallon soil of Gaia Green 2-16-0 Bone Meal for slow release P/Cal throughout Bloom. Added bonus of keeping pH in check (somewhat like a dolomite lime). "Stim Root #1" for softwood applications has been used sparingly as well. Allows for zero delay when transplanting. Roots tap into new soil immediately. No stunting, no lost time. -A water feed was given to each girl in the past two days as I am back to my feed-feed-water schedule (and working well). I did include a small dose of GP3 Bloom, Humic acids, molasses and potassium silicate to keep her moving until the next feed. Cut the Cal/Mag and pulling my Mag from the Bloom's 1.5%. -Training is pretty much over. PSK has a little work to do, but this week all the training ties will slowly be released and replaced with bracing cables. 5-6, 2 foot sticks of bamboo and 1, 3 foot main bamboo line have been inserted and will be used to pull laterals back inwards, give them strength, and help them carry their flowering weight. All bamboo sticks (except for the 3 foot main) were inserted into the new transplant soil where there would be no roots and no root interference. To reduce root interference on the 3 foot main, I sharpen to a point in order to push roots aside, not bluntly destroying them. -The flip is on the calendar. PSK is even in good shape now. It's time. Either Sunday, May 31st or June 1st these girls will be put into 12/12. I'm really looking forward to this, but as per the usual, I'm a little nervous. It's been a battle with them so far and I'm really, REALLY hoping Bloom goes a tad better then early Veg did. -Oddly enough, these plants are larger in size then grow #2, at the same period of time (49 days). Attributing earlier training and the SF for these changes. Keeping the girls shorter and using more LST has pushed them to move a bit faster. Noted. -Hygrowzyme and King Kola will be introduced into the new Bloom schedule in the coming week (s). I did not use the PK booster as early as recommended last grow and looking to see what changes I will see with proper applications, throughout flower. Hygrozyme will only be used for the first few weeks of Bloom. If anything feels amiss or my gut tells me somethings off, I'll stop it's use and just use what I know. I kept these short this week. Yay! I hope you have a good week everyone. Have fun with the girls and happy trials to you all. Until next time, Cheers✊👋

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
JinksyGrowscommented4 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!😅
