9/20- Start of Week 10!
9/21- All the ladies are getting frosty as hell! The Seedsman Gelato OG's are freakin monsters with the #2 pheno growing in SOHUM Living Soil by far the choice phenotype. She has just got multiple massive cola's that are stacked rock hard and is
producing a lot of resin. The #1 pheno growing in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate / Happy Frog mix has a different structure (even though the node spacing/leaf structure are nearly identical which is a sign of stable genetics). She is lanky, with multiple
cola's but they're not stacked like the #2's are. Also, she's exhibiting a beautiful purple hue on her shade leaves that carries into the buds which looks amazing! I've been watering daily at this point in the game giving each girl 1 gallon of de-chlorinated water ph'd
between 6.5-6.8 @72-76 deg. with 5ml/g CalMag+ added every third day and that's about the game plan from here until harvest which should be here by 9/27; daily water, maintain environment ( temp's between 65-75 deg. RH 45-50% VPD 9.7-11.3) and check
those trichomes!
9/23- What can I say....These ladies are SMOKIN HOT! Taste the rainbow with the Seedsman Zkittles and brace yourself for the sweet embrace of the Seedsman Gelato OG's! Trichomes are 80-90% milky, with some still showing clear and a small percentage of amber are
visible. All the girl's are on schedule to go dark this weekend for 48 hrs. with the exception of the Seedsman Zkittles #3 pheno as she's 7-10 days behind the rest (which sucks and I didn't think about when I popped her in with the other. She's been pissed off about
having to share the 10 gallon pot with her sister!) so now I'll have to just chop and hang the #2 Zkittles without giving it the 48hr. dark period....no biggie! As always, daily water/trichome check.ππ
9/25- I chopped and hung the Zkittles #2 that's sharing a 10 gallon pot with her pissed off sister. Her trichomes were all milky and 15-20% were amber so it was time for her to say adios! The #3 Zkittles should enjoy her last couple of weeks not having to share her space
anymore. The Zkittles #1's trichomes are getting close but I'm hoping to get another week out of her as she's still putting on weight as are the two Gelato OG's. If I can be patient enough to let these girls go 75-80 days it's gonna payoff!
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±
