Day 119 : I decided to feed some bio-grow (1ML) since the plant started to show deficiencies a bit too soon to me. Bottom leaves turning yellow. It's not a problem since I'm in late flowering, but this happend some days too soon to me ^^.
I planned not to use it anymore, but I decided to have a little feeding with it.
Day 123 : Feeding at 75% of the doses written in the diary, for Bio-Heaven / Bio-Bloom / Top-Max / Top-Candy, and only 33% for Bio-grow (0.33 ml/L).
I believe the plant will have one or two last feeding before harvest. So,something like 75% of what you can see here, and no more bio-grow until the end.
REMAINING TIME / HARVEST
--------------------------------
I'm going to start to check trichomes in the next days, because the plant looks almost done. Pistils turning brown, not really fattening that much anymore...
Today It's day 123, and it's already the 8th week of flowering. This strain is supposed to be ready between week 7 and week 9 of flowering.
So there is something like 10 days remaining before harvest, not more I think. I'm going to wait for the 30% of amber trichomes.
BUGS / INSECTS IN GROWING TENT
---------------------------------------
I removed one Pepper plant that I had in my tent. She was done and gave me some nice and strong chilli pepper.
But I noticed some larva in the bottom of the pot when getting the dirt out of it. Probably thrips larva, but I can't tell. This plant spent lot of time on the outdoor....
AND crazy thing : a damn big ant! I wonder if it was a queen! She was alive, hidden in the bottom of the pot, not verry active. But i never saw ants in my grow tent!
This dirt is now on the outside, been flushed and mixed with some older dirt, including juicy earthworms, to be reused later :)
But I must say i'm not verry sure to use it for indoor grow in the futur, I'm worried of creating futur bugs issues... So maybe I'll use it only for outdoor plants of my garden.
NEXT GROW SESSION / STRAIN SELECTION
------------------------------------------------
If my Queen (current grow / Sherbet Queen) provide the exact taste I'm looking for, I'll do a re-run of it :)
And I'll start also a Legendary OG Punch from Royal Queen Seeds. This is my next try for my Taste Hunt :)
So 1 Sherbet Queen + 1 Legendary OG Punch / OR / 2 Legendary OG Punch, depending of the result of the harvest of my current grow.
And additionnaly, a Blueberry Auto from PevSeeds. So 3 plants !
Happy Christmas everyone :)
New Year is soon, my Queen will not be ready for 2020 as expected, but she will be my best friend to start 2021 :)
Hi there!
If you are mainlining then you should remove the lower branches now too. If you plan on removing them I suggest that you take the lower branches off at the same time you top your plant. I think it's better to do one bigger stress than keep stressing her little by litle all the time
Happy growing!
@StunFlower, Thanks :) π I believe the key for success is just, spending time on it, and placing the string at the right place.
At some point it become instinctive.
@DreamOn, Thanks dude :) I appreciate ^^
It's the first time I'm doing Main-lining. I can't really estimate how great this gonna make the harvest...
BUT it's definitly a good and sexy looking plant :) I love how symmetrical it is !
@Greatgrowman, Well dude, the only thing I can say is it works :D I never tried any other brand.
It's easy to use, and since it's organic, it seems verry difficult to overfeed your plants.
I'm going to try the biobizz "leaf coat" this week. This is a foliar spray, made with latex and water.
I applied the "Fish-mix" as a spray yesterday on the leaves, and the plant REALLY loved it.
So... Good product line to me. But i can't compare it with anything else ^^
Good luck with your grape ape :)
Hey mate, just like the most say, i totally agree, your training has developed a very nice plant, almost efficient like math calculation ;)
Great work mate
