Planted three "Super Automatic" seeds from Blimburn in 1 liter net pots. I used. "Mothers Earth" cocco door and "Shultz" perlite at about 50/50 mix. No amendments were used besides wetting the media before use with the nutrients mentioned above. Otherwise they are recieving plain RO water.
This week the girls finally got moved to their final home in the greenhouse outside. Just got all the air lines ran, still working on hooking up drain lines and top feed lines. Reservoir and buckets were placed in holes in the ground to hopefully help control temps and block light.
Still no signs of flowering yet, maybe first little sight of calyx growth. Hopefully will hit 4ft! Been using cinnamon to top my substrate to prevent algea growth.
Seeing some tips beginning to burn so I went back down to 1 tsp of the girl's base nutes. Starting to see calyxs and pistils. Also alternate branching is appearing, also signalling that flowering has commenced.
Well these three girls had a rough week to say the least. Two of the girl's became an afternoon snack for Pebbles our pet rabbit lol. He chewed on the main stalk of each, and ripped the what im going to call bark. I used vaseline to keep out disease and pests and also placed 3m transpore tape (medical tape) on to "replace" the bark so to say. Switched to transitional bloom nutrients by lowering the amount of grow pro and introduced monster bloom and nirvana.
They survived the wrath of the house rabbit 🐰 lol. The stalks that got chewed on looked pretty grim for a while but they prevailed, even through mold. Now they're healing over nicely after repetitive sprays of H2O2/Distilled Water and neem oil. The one girl has the absolute biggest and cleanest root systems in hydro that I've ever seen despite the stalk damage. It's looks as if stretching is coming to an end and pre-flowering has begun. Totally awesome after thinking they weren't going to make it at all! They also got infested with fungus gnats and had root rot on two of the three. That Bio-cozyme really works, beautiful new white roots are shooting out of everywhere. I shut down the resivour during their period of treatment for insects and in the last two weeks begun using it again. Also Monster Bloom was hard to get with the mail being messed up and everything so I bought that Humboldt Ginormous which contains monopotassium phosphate as it's only listed ingredient, just like monster Bloom to supplement until my shipment arrived and now plan on "cutting" my mister Bloom by using this too. Also works as a foliar. Super awesome stuff.
These plants are truly "super" lol. I am amazed that two of these survived the rabbit attack around week 6 on their stalk. I've been habitually spraying the stalks with a H202/distilled water mix 1:2 (it still fizzes when applied) because their was some possible mold growing on these. The two with damage also have the absolute best, largest and cleanest hydroponics root systems I've ever seen. These girls in full swing power flower, starting to really stink now and lots of pistils and calyxes have formed, each day there's noticable growth in the budding nodes. One is very tall, almost 8ft while the other two are a little more stout. At one point I had lost all hope when they were damaged and at the beginning of an infestation of fungus gnats. What a long way my babies have came, never give up!!!
Hopefully these staaaaannnnkkyy girls will survive this cold, crappy and rainy weather. I've been spraying with a neem oil/geraniol/peppermint/cinnamon oil/distilled water concoction every morning I can or evenings if the wind is down enough. Despite two of their stalks being severely damaged early on, they're all putting out quite generously, the one is pushing 8 ft. These were the first to sprout out of 9 total, the Dark Devils and Devil Cream were the other 6, but only a few days earlier though they're size of their flowers is incomparable to the other mostly indica variety, the DC. Total smell of diesel, like a damn dump truck, but the one smaller of the three has a distinct musk melon like smell along with some gas. Definitely more exciting than I expected them to be, would consider growing again indoor. Also I added an aquarium heater to each bucket since the forecast is showing low 40's for lows the next couple nights. Due to the cold I slightly increased their Cal/Mag they receive by 25%.
@@Thebest1224, my res always nutes in it. It cycles on 8 times a day for 2 min intervals every 3 hours. I actually had to take down my ppm by 100 bc i saw tips beginning to burn.
