FLOWER WEEK 4
My Base Nutrient Inputs: See VEG WEEK 6 for details of stock solutions A & B.
My grow weeks run from Monday to Sunday.
All photos taken on Day 28 of Flower.
Great trichome production this week😜!
I Hope these colas thicken up.
The light was lowered 1 inch, to 20 inches above the canopy.
I Introduced Canna PK 13/14 this week, for a feeding on Thursday and Sunday, and dropped out the Remo Astroflower, for these two feedings.
Monday - 10pm Watered ~2.25 gallons each ( 1mL Si + 10mL A + 10mL B + 8mL Astroflower)/Gallon of R.O. Water = 700 ppm @5.9 pH, 70F.
Thursday - 11:30pm Watered ~2.25 gallons each ( 1mL Si + 10mL A + 10mL B + 6mL PK 13/14)/Gallon of R.O. Water = 700 ppm @5.8 pH, 70F.
Sunday - 8pm Watered ~2.25 gallons each ( 1mL Si + 10mL A + 10mL B + 6mL PK 13/14)/Gallon of R.O. Water = 680 ppm @5.8 pH, 72F.
Thanks for Viewing,
Peace,

@Cantwaitcantwait, Thanks, it's fun to watch the outcome. Credit goes to the people who did all the hard work to produce the two great Strains I used to make this cross though🙏.
Cool! I'm about to pop my first crosses also :-D I reversed Barney's tropicanna banana which was more like tropicanna cookies probably and pollinated all that I had around :-D So have few crosses now. Also bought some regular seeds from Humboldt seed co. and got a male (not filling a diary for it though) so planning to have a few normal crosses. :-D Spraying cutting every day gets pretty tedious at one point, and mine was short so I was spraying for 9 weeks or so :-D Btw most of the seeds produced using colloidal silver should be female since you're using the same genes as the mother (I suppose ?? :-D)
@DeaneR, thanks! And thanks for the banana pun, never thought of that. And because it was so tedious and manual labour I declare it the Banana wank seed series 😆 There's surely ways to improvise on that ahah
@bobtheblob, True...should be feminized. It will be fun to see what traits carry forward. So far these beans are performing as expected. You're right, daily spraying was tedious. I haven't tried the STS method, but it appears easier. Good luck, and enjoy your new crosses...............you put the Banana in all the ladies, lol.
Looks amazing👌, lots of sugar!
How are you liking that light? almost
bought one myself, went with the viparspectra xs 2000
instead, pretty happy with it so far👍.
Smok'em if you got'em!!
@DeaneR,It's a really white light, or so it seems to the naked eye.
According to the info from viparspectra it has a nice spectrum
of light, actually quite high in the red and far red even though you
can't see it. The white cookie seems to like the light but I'll know a bit better
after another grow or two.I'm still liking my CLW 500 solar xtremes, they show a bit more red to the
naked eye and there's a red tinge in the tent, plants love these lights but their 400 watts each
at the wall compared to 240 watts from the viparspectra.
Later!
@northernMike, Thanks Mike👊, I like what I'm seeing from these girls in early flower. I was an early adopter with this light, and therefore, it was expensive compared to a lot of the new china LEDs available on the jungle website. She's a little dated now as far as efficacy, but the plants sure do seem to like it😎. It's very difficult to photograph under. I need a filter to put over my tablet, of some sort. That xs 2000 looks like a good deal @ about 1/2 the price.
