24K (aka Kosher Tangie), Indica Hybrid

A fun first microgrow for me! Last time growing was outdoors in the 90s so a lot has changed, and learning indoor techniques. Encountered some bumps along the way, but nevertheless, the plant recovered and produced. Midway through flower, I encountered PM and dealt with it first, with milk and water. That kept it at bay, but it it still progressed. Treated with H2O2/water. Worked at first, but concentration was probably not enough. Then tried Potassium Bicarbonate/Veg Oil/drop of Dawn soap and that wiped it out. I knew that spraying that would possibly change the pH, but had no other choice at that point. Thankfully it wiped it out! Cut away diseased/dead leaves and she ripened. Because I had to heavily defoliate because of the PM, I believe it stunted bud growth as it didn't have enough leaves to generate energy and grow fatter/bigger. In terms of difficulty in growing, once I gave her the proper nutrients, she took off! My lesson learned in this is to make sure I don't scrog the branches coming off the tertiary ones. Instead, strip the lanky ones and grow bigger tertiaries, resulting in bigger buds/colas. I was concerned with trying to fill out the scrog screen that I overlooked the fact I was splitting the colas. It was a healthy strain and grew vigorously, once I consulted with a good FB Group Member. She gave me great advice with the use of Humic Acids and microbial bacteria. I believe if the grow environment is ideal, practically anyone will be able to grow even the most difficult of strains. Wish it had better tolerance to PM, but most likely because both mother and father plants were of northern hemisphere cultivar, so more susceptible to PM than tropical/equatorial ones. Did not have access to a scale so did not weigh wet before hanging to dry. More concerned with ensuring I don't fuck this last part of the process up...dry/cure can be fatal to your harvest if not done properly! Now comes the wait to dry, then bottle/curing process. More to follow...stay tuned!
