So this week I topPer the 4 smaller ones for the first time. The 3 Malasaña regrew normally, the Herz OG gave me 3 new tops instead of 2! Wooohoo! Not sure if I monster cropped it accidentally but i don’t believe so. On the other hand, my Runtz in the middle which has been topped 2 times so far is making a slow recovery. 1 of the new growth spots has 3 new tops instead of 2 , and the other only has 1, so its missing 1 :(. That’s ok , maybe just give it a little more time, seems to not like the lower temps as much as the others, I’m thinking due to it being a Sativa dominant, it was pretty vigorous in my last grow at temps of 85-92. Also, got an automated humidifier and IR thermometer fun so I can dial in the VPD perfectly . Currently at 75-77f with 65-70 humidity . I’ve learned VPD is key to maximizing your plants growth. The Runt does seem a bit deficient on something, I’m thinking it needs some CalMag, any suggestions would be great. Gonna get to the bottom of this now!
@Exotic_Seed, Thanks ! So far so good! Any advice on training techniques for either the Herz OG or the Malasana that you know to work particularly well ?
Looks like a Potassium (K) deficiency on the center Runt. I determined this because of the lightening of the greenish color of the leaves towards the center and burned crisp edges . Ordered some Organic Kelp to spread on as a topper and leach in during watering.
Forgot to mention that the center Runt was topped a 2nd time, and the 4 smaller were topped for a first time, above the 3rd node and then stripped all growth beneath , except 2 fan leaves on the 2nd node to aid with the new growth . New top are coming in nicely on the smaller ones, but harder coming along on the runt, hoping for the best.
Looks real similar in build and bud size brother. Maybe she's just a little thinner by nature. She is a beatiful girl for sure and I'm presuming you're smelling them berries by now👌. Looking great man! Happy trails this week
@PlainFieldPuff, Dude, thank you so much for this🙏. Just got a personalized review and I'm seeing/smelling what you are. Don't care if she's thin now, lol. If she's like butter I'll take a lower yeild with a higher quality any day. I actually JUST dropped my temps yesterday... and will be running her another 1.5 weeks or so, pretty much exact same as yourself. I have confidence this will help now! Thanks again man. Really informative and it gives me a harvest window... Frigging Cheers😀✊
@JinksyGrows, I cut down a stalk 2 days ago to test how it’s gonna dry. 2 days in and WOW. The lowered temps immediately made them spew out resin. The buds are light green with bright orange hairs . Super sticky on the outside , melts in your fingers . And the smell of berries is overpowering . I couldn’t tell in the tent as much because of the HerzOG in there aswell . I’m blown away by this strain. I know what my first mother is going to be now . Can’t wait for them to ripen up this next 2 weeks still !
@PlainFieldPuff, I like how you think man... I'm thinking about keeping a jar of top buds but just squishing or washing the rest for dabs or hash. Probably hash👌. That resin Dev would make for some fine concentrate, regardless of where you're headin'. We'll see how this final 1-2 weeks go, but I'm with ya and leaning towards pressing
