This week has been fruitful! Abusive OG is finally catching up. Bad Azz kush is growing more leaves than bud for now but she is shaking with the weight. Tangerine Dream became the leaning tower of Pisa, the more I looked at it while stoned the more it bends. I tied them with threads and added a partial tomato cage on the bottom. I started having some tip burn and crisp green leaves ( phosphorus deficiency ). I decreased the flora nova bloom and added extra koolbloom. I went high too fast and standing at 800ppm OG nutrient solution rn. I will defoliate next.
Friday: Tangerine Dream started to smell so pleasant. It smells like freshly peeled clementines, the scent hits the spot! Bad Azz kush smells earthy and leaves are heavily covered with trichomes! Abusive OG is a mystery, it looks like it is 2 weeks behind in flowering. If it is not, it will have a sad yield.
End of week: There have been accumulated salt in the medium. I was feeding 850ppm but 1000ppm was coming out (tip burns). I flushed with plain pH’ed water and replaced with 950ppm. The colas have gotten bigger but the smell is still weak.
@FreezingIslandBoi, yeah you get that sometimes .. my Strawberry Lemonade I grew last crop was very Sativa dominant and didn't look anything like anyone else's Straw.Lemonade from Barney's. I just considered myself lucky 😁
@HazeyBobby,
Yes sir, it sure is! I am skeptical about the Abusive OG( 100% Indica ) but is taller than Tangerine Dream Sativa dominate. It makes me question the authenticity of that seed.
Love it! I’m doing my first mainline/manifold now - I don’t have a diary as I’m not 100% sure of the genetics (bag seed - but I was told it was Barneys Critical Kush). I might start a diary when I do the 12/12
@Tripledrop,
Thank you Tripledrop! 👍🏽 Mainlining is great for big yield and the girls get greedy with nutrients! There is a lot of articles on the internet that will help. If you need help, shoot me a message or ask the growers here ✌️🏽 Good luck on your mainlining. I am sure you will kill it and may the ladies bless you with lots of beautiful colas. 👍🏽
Awesome grow! So happy I found your diary, i currently have AOG going, and it is very cal/mag heavy like you say! glad to see your results, i hope to get half as good as you!
Good to hear you're managing high frequency fertigation by hand ... I know it's a commitment at times. I'm forced into the same situation with the summer heat :)
@FreezingIslandBoi, oh yes... that reunion is always memorable :) I'm in a similar boat soon with a friend watering just once a day for a week 🤦♂️ (probably the last week too :) ) - such is life.
@HazeyBobby,
I feel you man but anything for the buds! I water them 5 times a day currently, the lockdown helps else I cannot maintain that amount of watering. I am gone out of town for 3 days :( and will have a friend water them 1 or 2 times a day. They will not like that and I will most likely lose some yield but it will be interesting to see how they are doing when I get back.
Nice grow ... the plants will typically start their long stretch after change of light for about 2-3 weeks. Just keep training them down and if need be reduce the number of plants if height becomes restrictive. Good luck through the next few weeks 👍
@NedKelly,
I bought these wire ties at the dollar store gardening section. They are also referred as soft wire tie light duty, i am sure you can get your hands on some.
