Seems to be growing alright, even with 12/12 from seed.
Still not feeding her a lot, but starting out slowly with some biobizz grow in the coming week.
Growing well, and taking to the LST quite well.
Still no signs of flowering, even though she's been running 12/12 from seed.
Will let her get some height now, and just keep feeding.
Did some light defoliation, just to get the light further down in the canopy.
She seems a little light, but im sure she will fill in now that she's in bloom and stretchng.
Been stretching for the last week, and starting to slow down. This girl will be a little compact one. Will probably remove a few of the bigger leaves and tie down beaches to get more light in to the lower bud sites.
So many buds! 😎
There's a distinct citrus scent in the tent right now, slightly herb as well. But mostly citrus 😁
Just feeding her, she's definitely going through more water now, and letting her fill out. No signs of stress or anything 👍
That is thrip damage and the black spots are Thrip poop. 100% no question.
Adult thrips lay eggs in the soft parts of the plant/leaves.
Eggs hatch to larvae and the larvae literally suck the sap and sugars right out of the plants cells. ( This should leave marks on your leaves)
The larvae then fall to the soil, to pupate. Once, they pupated, they hatch into adults with wings and a spikey abdomen, and crawl up to the leaves to start the process again.
I haven't had much luck with soaps and neem oils because you need to saturate every part of the plant, and these guys like to hide in hard to get spots.
Buy some Amblyseius cucumeris predator mites, they live soley on thrip eggs and larvae. Place these on the stems/leaves. Put Diatomaceous earth on the top layer of soil to prevent the larvae from pupating in the soil. Once you have the mites killing the larvae and eggs, and the diatoms killing the pupae, this should interrupt the cycle.
In your second pic you can see the thrip larvae chilling in the vein of the leaf in the center!
Best of Luck!
As soon as I open the tent, I'm hit with a wave of sweetnees.
Very sweet and berry-like scent coming from her, but not overpowering and would still consider it able to be grown stealthily with a carbon filter.
I added some Orius bugs, to help get rid of the thrips. We'll see how well it worked I guess.
But doing so I accidentally spilled a bunch of stuff onto the plant, which is now stuck in all the lovely trichomes stickyness.
So anyone got some good tips to clear stuff off of sticky buds? 😅
Flush time! :D
Looks like a week or two to go now.
So pure water feeds from now on.
The smell is very sweet and berry'ish.
Can't wait to get her cured 8)
Growing this one has been as easy as making sure she was watered.
Didn't see any issues with lack of, or overfeeding, just stuck to the Biobizz feeding schedule.
Very happy with the outcome, 45g.
Can't wait to try her out now ;)
Only did a bit of training, LST, and she took well to it, and got a decent wet harvest of 174g!
