TURMOIL WEEK AND A BIT
So sadly its been a bit rough on my plants
Got rid of the Spider Mites but the Fungus Gnats had their time to do some damage to my plants
They had been there for a while, they seemed to be working their way with the mulch but little did I know what the larvae can do to my roots
Also i had been overwatering the plants which just added to their misery!! I will blame this one on me, myself and I
Sadly my Blue Dream seedling did not survive all the struggles, sad but the other three seemed to have bounced back
Steams were slightly red at a stage, leaves looked like they had PH and nutrient issues, stunted growth for about a week.... We most def had a root problem
This plant is very tall and I think had some of the worst root issues, no new leaves have grown from the base of side stems so hopefully with the solutions it will bounce back
Stalk is still slightly reddish, but after Root Pro the stalk started going greener... there is hope
Some leave eating bastards but I will Neem them away soon
So now solution time:
1) Red Clovers - growing for plant goodness
2) Dill has sprouted - for natural pesticide
3) Coriander not yet sprouted - but also for natural pesticide
Root problem issues
1) Less watering first thing
2) Cinnamon to help with stopping root rot
3) Diatomaceous earth to slice and dice any Gnat Larvae
4) Hand killing any Gnats I see
5) Less or no mulch for the time being
6) Eco buzz Root Pro to assist the cinnamon in killing Root Rot and promote new root growth and such - desperately need to get these girls back on track
No Worm Wee this week - plain water to give them some
Thing I have learnt
Careful with LST using a a living soil that is very much alive, my plants leaves touched the soil and some critters moved into the leaves (leave crawlers)
My garden is very alive and I don't think I considered all the little bugs in it, which could damage my grow
DO NOT OVER WATER - lets repeat - I WILL NOT OVERWATER
@Shooey, Thank you
Nothing worth doing is worth doing half ass
Working hard to keep the ladies happy and growing, learnt so much and looking forward to finishing these off and starting the next batch
My new seeds arrived a little while ago :D
@FreshCoastOrganics, Even me
I had a look at the other Diaries on here (i know it is limited) but I have not seen one
I hope for some good looking budz to go along with the colour
Amazing colour bro!
Had 2 of these indoor, they turned out to be completely different phenos, none gave purple/Black buds like yours will. Be careful with humidity!
Good luck mate!
@OutlawzExotics, Yeah personally i find it quite exciting :D Like a Banana Blaze lucky packet
Yes the humidity is quite ridiculous up here at the moment it did a full swing back up to 79% today... best I can currently do is give them lots of new air so the dampness does not sit and keep the fan on at night
Hoping to control it better when I eventually get a tent setup
@Shooey, Agreed the colours are wicked!
I know its quite superficial to be drawn to the purple but its hard not to look at the plant and be proud of it
@Shooey, Thanx buddy
She really was very pretty and I GOT ONE SEED
Hoping and praying it is a fem
Thank you she tastes amazing, I would send you some if i could
