9/13- FastBuds girls have been hanging for 3 days now. Temp's are a constant 66 deg @ 59-60% RH. They all have great trichome production and the Purple Lemonade #2 has the nicest looking bud structure-gonna have super 'bag appeal'- compared to the other pheno
which was a runt with fox-tailed buds and the Crystal Meth's whose buds are super fluffy/airy (not real happy with how they stacked...or didn't). The Seedsman Zkittles and Gelato OG's are all doing really good with the possible exception of the Zkittles #3 which is
sharing a 10g fabric pot with the #2 pheno. She's been pissed off for awhile now having pale green leaves that droop more than they pray. I haven't over/under watered her and she's had adequate nutrients. The #2 pheno sharing the pot with her is 7-10 days ahead
of her and damn close to harvest so she'll just have to be pissed for a couple more days, then I'll remove #2 and she'll have the pot to herself for a week or so! The girls are all drinking 1/2 to 3/4 gallons of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5-6.8 @ 74-76 deg. daily and
stacking nicely! They all have such incredible aromas with the Gelato OG #2 and the Zkittles #2 being my favorites so far as they both have a really sweet/hashy smell to them!
9/15- Five days an the FastBuds and they are drying nice and S L O W...perfect!
9/17- Seven days hanging today! The FastBuds are drying perfectly and have faded beautifully, covered in crystallized goodness! They are close but the small stems still are missing that 'snap' I'm looking for so I'll wait another day or two, checking daily, to start trimming
them up. The Zkittles #2 is 2-3 days from going dark, the #1 and #3 have probably 7-10 days left. The Gelato OG #2 is massive! Her leaves are all still green with no sign of any fade. She is STACKED and has that 'sway' and if she keeps stacking I'll let her go another
week if necessary. The #1 Gelato OG has very similar plant structure but her buds are no where close to the stacking of her sisters. The #2 is definitely going to be the big winner in the yield column!
9/19- All the Seedsman's girls received 3 1/2 gallons of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 74 deg. with 5ml/g CalMag+ added. Went through and lightly defoliated where needed and tucked anything that was blocking light to bud sites. FastBuds have been hanging for 10
days and I'm trimming them today! Onward to Week 10!π
I'm running all 10g fabric pots- Six of them are filled with Fox Farms Happy Frog mixed with Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate, two are filled with SOHUM Living Soil. Every pot's medium ph's @ 6.2-6.8 except one SOHUM which is @ 5.2-5.4! WTH? Don't know how she's alive!
Must be genetics, maybe that strain was breed in hydro for past generations, i have a plant that drinks 7.5 ph water and when i lowered it to 6.3 she started getting sick. Had to go back to 7.5 ph. Smh.
Hi, im getting into growing and use sohum, what does the " 2 1/2g" mean when you say "2 1/2g straight non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.4". And what type of water do you use, Ro, Tap, Etc.
Thank you any help is greatly appreciated.
@CainHeim, I use well water from the tap which runs around 200ppm and 7.4-7.8 ph before I adjust. The 2 1/2g was referring to how much TOTAL water I gave which was split evenly between my plants. DON'T over water.... biggest 'noob' mistake. Let your plants tell you when they are thirsty and take care of what you can't see (the ROOTS) and the rest will take care of itself! Good luck with your grows and Merry Christmas! ππ
@TheCannaProphet, thanks for the reply. I got fungus gnats in my NLS as well. For whatever reason they all disappeared after my first application of SLF100 even though it's completely unrelated. Not sure how or why but they never came back.
@HashCakes, Thanks for checking out my diary! I had two growing in SOHUM soil and one did excellent, the other had issues. When I checked the ph of the SOHUM with the plant with issues I found that it was @ 5.2....WAY too low. I don't know if it was a bad bag or what but it pissed me off. The NLS plants did really well but using it brought Fungus Gnats, which could have only come from the NLS as I've NEVER had them previously. So now I've gone back to my Ol' Reliable Mother Earth Coco/Perlite with 100% Organic Dry Amendments or Liquid Nutrients depending on the run. Hope this helps you...Grow Strong! ππ
I have the seeds Gelato OG in my Run 2 diary & one of them is a freaking monster!! By far the biggest plant in my tent! Canβt wait to see how yours turns out friend! Happy growing!βοΈπΌπ±
