I missed updating the diary last week, I was busy harvesting the Kush XL Autoflowers and moving these from the 4x4 tent they outgrew despite being topped twice, super cropped & LST'd. Lights are @ 22"-24", last friday on day 42 they were top dressed with 2 cups of earthworm castings, 1/2 tsp yucca powder and each plant received 7 Tablespoons of Happy Frog Tomato & Vegetable fertilizer, and because I had a bit of a nitrogen deficiency last run crop up 3rd week of flower I added 7 tablespoons of Happy Frog all purpose. The lights are at 100% power 904 watts-I'll continue at this level until Day 38-40 of Flower, then reduce to 80% until day 49, then reduce to 50% until harvest. Previously I ran my lights at 100% until harvest, but this is exactly oppositve of nature and I feel responsible for new white pistils appearing late in flower on ripening buds and horsetailing issues, along with lowered potentcy, flavor & smell because terpenes have been burned off by the too bright of lights the final weeks of flowering.
Green Crack on the left, Killer Kush on the right, both strains are considered "Fast" with a flowering period of 6-7 weeks.
The starter soil is an 8 qt bag of Miracle Grow "Organic" potting mix (I put organic in quotes b/c I'm not to hip on anything Miracle Grow-that being said, they did very well in this soil mixture) with about 4 qts of earthworm castings and about 2 qts of pearlite and just 1/2 tsp of yucca powder as a wetting agent. Mixed that all very well in a 20 gallon bin and divided it up amongst the 4 pots. Once the current Killer Kush grow finishes, these will be transplanted to 7 gallon fabric pots with a mixture of pro-mix, ewc, compost & pearlite with 2 TBS/gallon of FoxFarm All purpose organic dry fertilzer, as well as about 1 tsp of azomite & 1 tbs Roots Org Elemental, 1 tbs of diatomacious earth amended in. This mixture has been stored in 20 gallon rubbermaid bins for the past several weeks to "cook"
