White Critical had a growth spurt. She caught up with Granddaddy black. I was careful not to overfeed her. But the only way to learn about her is to push and torture her. At this point, I don’t want to do that. I just want to see if she has would produce buds with Critical smell but with Widow high.
To find out White Critcal limit, I would need to take clones and mistreat them. And there are more than enough branches to do that. Next week I’ll clip of a few branches to make clones.
Whiter Critical flower time is advertised at 7 weeks. I think transitioning and flowering stretch period will be a week only. And I think that she will stop growing very soon after she is put into flower. So, the way to gain productivity is by keeping her in veg longer than other plants.
White Critical is standing at 110 cm tall. With her twin columns, she is big enough. Again, I don’t think she will get much bigger during flowering. So, I am giving her one more week so she can produce a little more.
This week I gave her Earth Worm Casting tea, rooting hormones, and Phosphorus fertilizer at 1/4th strength. The obejective is to strengthen her stem and getting her to store up nutrients for flowering burst
@Med_in_Tropic, A wise man once told me :
"For every disadvantage there is an advantage."
Not sure what the advantage is in having acid rain and radioactive soil tho 😂
Ofcourse it's having the knowledge, being able to come with solutions and keep learning/ using the brain that's the true advantage 🤓
@Smartie, approaching dry season. Yeah!
Wet season was to find good clone mothers for this time of the year.
By the way, I put up mostly new strains (to me) in diaries. I can’t be bother to write about
A mate in South Africa has to contend with acid rain and radioactive soil. Somewhere in the world, someone has it worse.
clones that I have grown for the umpteenth times.
In a way, I am making growing look harder than it actually is.
There are weeds that grows largely unattended in Thailand. And they do just fine.
@Shooey, 33 C and 90% RH 😀😀😀😀
I grow in hot (fertilized) soil and soil was wet. Damping off bound to happen.
The survivors are usually strong enough to take on outside rain. Then I can propagate with clones until I find something else to play with.
A couple more weeks, I’ll be in my dry season. I’ll put a few clones into flower for my primary grow period.
And this grow should be just in time for my indica window.
@Smartie, I was fuzzing with my plants this morning. I found a healthy 9 weeks old plant with single blade leaves. So here it is. Top colas has some pistil but I am outing this one in flower soon. So, keeping pistil in this case.
These buds are gorgeous. I love your garden! Must be a nice view with all these strains, clones, veging and flowering together! wish I could be in the tropic
Thanks @sativaman, oh we have our season. This is the prime time. Tgis corner is m sanctuary from work an ld even family.
Tropic has string sun but short hours. Our winter is nice. But in a month or two it’ll be nearly 40 C. Then very wet.
Natural plants to grow would be your 9 months long Sativa. 😀😀😀😀😀.
There are always trade off. We just have to adapt to nature.
Sweet med. is back strap molasses similar to your sludge? It’s a bi product of sugar cane refining as well.
Plants are looking great mate, so close to the finish now! 🍻
@Shooey, I use both. Molasses is for magnesium, sulfur, iron and a bit of calcium during flowering. Plus the sweetness in molasses fed microbes in the soil.
The sludge has even more micro-nutrients and more N.
NPK ratio is like 1-1-1. One and one and one is three. Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see.
Seriously, sugar sludge is ass strong as cow manure.
Thanks mate @Shooey. This one was uneventful but got big. Wish all my grows are like this. Problem is I like Sativa and longer grow means more issues 😀😀😀
