These are about into week 4 but to be honest I didn’t even take note of date the sprouted! They all are done when they are done regardless of states grow times! Lol! But I chopped down my meph gold glue, amended with some build a soil craft blend, and waited like 5ish days and replanted into opposite end of earthbox junior and she’s chugging along! In the little bag I have a rocbudinc frosted cookies for a 1/2gal growoff but I’ll track her along with PRB since germed couple days apart!
I’m thinking I made this difficult putting 2 diff strains in 2 diff grow containers in same diary so prob be splitting them up next post! Frosted cookies is for a growoff in a 1/2gal rain science bag and she is loving life! PRB is in the earthbox jr gold glue was just harvested from! Less than a week since transplant and she is def well established and taking off! Just need to water in nematodes when they arrive tomorrow and then I’ll top off with my bokashi base and slip EB cover on box so magic can begin again!
Both ladies coming along nicely! Frosted cookies I missed 1 feed being distracted trimming toofless alien and wound up with a deficiency but seemed to bounce right back using the foop fish fertilizer nutes on her!
Purple Roc Berry on other hand doesn’t get bottled nutrients! Just organic living soil and to off every 2 weeks with homegrown bokashi kit! It’s a 5 pack of diff bokashi that had nutrients baked in when it was made but in the earthbox junior def only feeding the soil....AND THE WORMS but add it as topdressing every 2 weeks and will keep any def from ever starting! That’s the plan anyway and so far so good!
Screwed up and started the 1/2gal in my bedroom closet and wound up in couple days getting overrun by gnats! Still fighting to kill them off but been a damn pain in my ass! Other than that both are growing great and moving right along!
Both girls moving along! Gave em some more nematodes and have rove beetles arriving Wednesday cuz dealing with pesky gnats! Think that’s why frosted cookies is unhappy with me! Covered her pot in some pantyhose so gnats couldn’t eat thru bags anymore and if they try to go in earthboxes I have todes plus predator mites and worms before rove beetles arrive! They’ll be dead really soon or be afraid and go the hell away! Til then we cruising along!
Both girls are moving along! Kinda glad I didn’t start 2 in the earthbox juniors at same time or tent is likely to be outta control! 1st time thru in boxes I transplanted 1 with wimpy roots and stayed small plant but since then been all giant trees in em! I have a Rocs mixed auto that just stood up I’ll be putting into other junior tomorrow! Also added some rove beetles into the boxes so no gnats could get under cover and multiply!
We just on cruise control now! PRB is gonna be a big loaded beast of a bush but frosted cookies is not cooperating! Not sure if the gnats that keep repopulating is just making her finicky or what! Gonna try hydrogen peroxide next cuz getting old!
Still am fighting def with frosted cookies but she’s gonna make it til the end! Only 10-14 days left anyways! Purple roc berry be lil longer than that but she’s much bigger with way more bud sites to fill out! Hopefully with damn gnats gone I’ll be ok til they finish up!
So as usual especially with earthbox it’s all just smooth sailing! Keep reservoir full and usually no issues! Have a new 1 @day26 and learned from PRB not to do l the fanciness of foliar spraying all the time! Once a week for kelp and once for humic acid is it! Rest of the way is topdressing homegrown bokashi every 2 weeks! PRB got rust fungus from all the spraying and went downhill afterwards!
Frosted cookies tho is damn near done! She’ll get the axe sometime this weekend! Finally killed off the gnat hoard so she’s been cooperating fairly well since! She is def a thick ass frost monster for being in only a 1/2gal bag!
So I put this as flowering still since wanted to update but don’t have dry weight yet! Also never bother with wet weight so ya once dry in couple more days I’ll update harvest etc!
Given I had gnats in my tent and then had rust fungus issue from too much foliar spraying and then late deficiencies to boot I can only imagine if I had treated her better what I woulda got! Some super dense buds on her that’s for sure!
We’ll seen as she was in .5gal pot and had issues from gnats to deficiencies I am pleased with the result! Smoke tastes great and haven’t even cured it! Also seems to be strong as I only have had few hits off my blunt and already pretty toasty! Def pleases with all my rocbudinc strains so far! Also added sneak peak of my other Roc I chopped yesterday Frozen Scoops! ;)
Nice grow you got going on here, I just heard about this breeder because I got a 10% off code with my rain science pots lol.
Anyways, I believe with some strains it’s totally normal and natural for the leaves to start yellowing and changing colors close to harvest time. Not every strain does it but some definitely get the “fall colors” similar to other plants because it is draining the nutrients from the leaves into the flowers.
I’m looking forward to seeing your harvest pics! Have a good one!
