Hey GD Fam! BKG here with an update on our Nefertiti #2:
Moved this girl from Right Grow Compartment in our Closet to Left Side to make room for "Economy Grow of Sour D" (be sure to check that grow out!)
She's coming along nicely with large fan leaves coming in! Will hopefully start LST with a topping before next weeks entry.
This particular grow pot I got from a friend and decided to give it a try on this grow vs. going with my normal 5gallon buckets. I found that this pot holds moisture a bit too well and I had to purchase a moisture meter with long leads that go to bottom of planter just to know when to water. These Enover 3 in 1 Moisture, Light, & PH Soil Meters are not spot on accurate, but for $10(on Amazon) you cant beat the assistance they give a grower! I also use this pot for defoliation remains as the surface area of the pot is large.
Auto Nefertiti is a very fragrant autoflowering version of the original Nefertiti that comes from the crossing between two outstanding strains - Black Widow and White Widow.
Nefertiti is a sativa dominant plant that took the 1st Hydro award at Spannabis 2007, under the name of โBlack Hempโ, the second prize at Catalonia Cup in 2008, and the 3rd at Hashish prize in Catalonia Cup 2010.
The plant develops Indica look leaves that change into Sativa shape during the flowering period. It grows up to 60-160cm tall depending on the conditions. The blooming takes 9-10 weeks and the harvest brings to 550gr/m2 indoors and to 150gr/plant outdoors. The strain doesn't depend on the light schedule.
Thanks for the update. She's looking great. I like the tip from @ Quexos about the dry malt for the Co2 generator. Continued best wishes on your grow. I'll keep looking in...
@Zannabis7, @Quexos, Thanks for the support Zannabis! And you're right, Quexos' tip is amazing! Next re-up of my Generators is gonna be with dry malt and beer yeast!! You guys rock!!
@BudKingsGrow, looking good buddy and great video. Iโm intrigued by your CO2 generator. I did look into CO2 a while ago but didnโt think it would make much difference as I have 400W hps in a small 600x700x1800 grow room.
Do you feel it helps?, itโs cheap and if it can benefit yield then Iโm all for it, especially in summer when I wouldnโt have to worry so much about the high temps.
@Tazard, If controlling those variables is easy/manageable then by all means! Go for the full optimization! Otherwise, Have fun implementing this as is and still enjoy a positive from it ๐
Happy to hear about the killer growth this week. She is looking great. I appreciate all the positive and supportive comments you spread throughout the GD community. Best wishes!
Quick question for you. One of my Buddha Haze is starting to have some droopy leaves on the tops of the bud sites. She looks healthy otherwise and continues to grow/stretch. Fairly sure I am not under/over watering.Any idea why I would be getting these droopy leaves coming off the bud sites? The bottom fan leaves are nice an perky!
@BudKingsGrow, Yeah you wouldn't see it in my current Week 5 diary posting. It just started in the past 3-4 days. I will update on Sunday. Just seems strange that everything else on the plant is perky and all the other plants in the grow aren't droopy and are perky. Oh well, as long as she's growing and kicking out some bud production, we'll call it good. Just bothers me, as I like a nice healthy looking plant! ๐
Very nice diary. One of the better I have seen. Nicely done. Plants are looking great too. Thanks for the update. Best wishes on the rest of your grow.
@BudKingsGrow, You're welcome. Of course, will certainly try to keep up the good vibes. I've enjoyed my interactions with you more than with any of the other growers. Thanks for taking the time to post/reply with elaborate and articulate words. Best wishes my friend...
What ingredients are you using in your Carbon Dioxide generator? I was a homebrewer for a long, long time, and I was curious what type of mixture and yeast you were using.
@BudKingsGrow, thanks for the reply. Maybe visit your local homebrew shop and by some light dry malt to use instead of sugar. Sugar has very few nutrients for the yeast. Dry malt will give you a more vigorous fermentation and better Carbon Dioxide generation. The dry malt and yeast will last longer as well. You can also buy dry beer yeast and the homebrew shop.
Yoooooo! Looking at your pot you could take a 1/8 bit and drill holes under the side before it goes down into a flanged bottom. Iโve done it for a couple outside plants. Either way she looks like she is making a good fight!!! Positive vibes coming her way from my
Bonsai LSD ๐๐ผ
@TeflonDonFarms, Thanks Man! I was thinking about trying to rip the entire base off, drilling holes and setting it in a plant saucer. I make a half-assed attempt earlier today, but didnt have time to get a screwdriver or something in there to pry at it. We will see what I can figure out lol
@BudKingsGrow Your plants look pretty damn good man, I just put the same exact kinda co2 generator in my tent, I was wondering, have u noticed any dfferences in your plants growth?
@Sleepy, Glad to help! Remember that growing Ganja is fun!! I always hate it when we get too technical and turn things over from enjoyable to just tedious hard work!! Find your balance, and pair that with your passion... Mary Jane knows your heart, and your grows will go accordingly ๐ Cheers!
@Sleepy, You'll find all sorts of varied opinions on the matter of CO2... And yes, There is a "Perfect" application where in which you plants will get the most out of having boosted CO2... But, I have found that my ladies love having the extra CO2 to drink in! I would not say it a massive difference, just enough for me to notice it!! And with this style of generator being so cheap... Why the heck not?! ๐
I'd recommend changing it out once per week. You can go 2 weeks between wash out/change, but I find 1 week is good.
@Tazard, Thanks Tazard! Shed deserves all the credit though!! I started Her off with a simple LST of pulling main stalk to the side of pot. Then I realized the ornamental pot She was in had no drain (I swear when I looked at this pot before planting that it had a drain but I got no runoff!) and She struggled with being in very wet soil until basically week 5. Very slow and meager growth up until She got big enough to consume moisture in pot from top to bottom evenly. Once Her root-core was solid, She has exploded and filled in the canopy from the LST early on. A bit of defoliation here and there, but other than that, it has been all Her ๐
@Herbalize, Really really appreciate the encouragement! I do love sharing my Passion for Cannabis and hope for nothing more than leaving a legacy of positive, beneficial energy to forward Her movement - She has done so much for me that its the least I can do ๐
