Mon. Start of week 6, watered the dwarf with Cannazym and Rhizotonic at 8ml/gal each (1qt of water added). This is an attempt to treat the nute burn she is dealing with, lets hope it works. I hope to get something from her. The rest of the group got fed per the nutrients list. The two tall ones are growing at almost an inch a day now. Tent temp is down from last week as I added some ventilation to my room the grow tent is in, the heat from the tent was building up too high room now that the light is at full power. Temps seem more manageable now.
Wed. Watered all plants with plain PH 6.1 water. 1qt. each. Plants are growing strong. Measuring them all daily, anywhere from .5 to 1.2 inches a day.
Fri. All plants are growing fast .5 inch to 1.5 inches per day. Fed everyone today. Upped the veg food to middle of what Canna recommends. The others additives are all on schedule. As I understand the schedule I need to keep the veg nutes up until the stretch stops than switch to the Canna Flora. I have done more research into the spots all over the dwarf plant and while inspecting the other plants I noticed some of the same spotting, All of it seems to be from around the time I PH shocked the roots during week 2. I now suspect that the event is passed. The spots are not spreading and the growth from the last couple weeks has no signs of deficiency due to the PH issue. The dwarf took longer to recover but even its new growth does not seem to have any spots, it has also grown a bit in the last week. 😎
Sun. End of the week. This has been a good week for growth, they all stretched nicely. The tall one went from 13 to 21 inches, the other tall from 11 to 16, the middle child went from 6 to 10 bushy inches and the dwarf still small went from 4.5 to 7 inches. This really makes me wonder how things would have gone if not for week two and my PH screw up. Now I am waiting to see when the stretch stops so I can switch to flowing nutes.
When limiting my primary nutrients, (Canna Terra Flora) to prevent overfeeding, should I also limit the secondary nutrients (Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Canna Boost) or feed those per the Canna schedule each time I water? I currently only use them when I feed on every 2nd or 3rd water
I think its safe to remove the rhizo. Definitwlt continue the Flores because it also contained the trace elements needed. Keep the zyme and boost are entirely up to you, perhaps only using them once per weeks would be good. But I think it'll be alright to remove them soon, unless you choose otherwise. Did I see a small amount of yellowed leaves on the back left plant on the very bottom? If so you may want some cal mag in there or it may be that one received a slightly higher dose than the others did, or needs a good flush.
Best of luck the plants look pretty dang good thus far. Congrats on making it into flowering.
This one was a bit rough. I thought the purpling was a bad thing, a symptom of phosphorous deficiency. I count this as a success, I got a big enough yield to make through the next grow. :)
Thanks for the info, I knew about the trichomes but I had no idea the buds fatten up that much at the end. I harvested when they are about 80% cloudy, I wanted the strains to lean a bit to heady side. Maybe another week would have given me more yield with no major change in the trics.
Thanks for the advice, I am battling the rise in temps during the day now that summer is coming. I have been dreading putting an AC in that room, but I might have to.
next time flower at least 9 weeks for most strains, theres a handfull that are 60 days which is still 8 and a half weeks, buds fill out the most the last 2 weeks, up to 33%, and I veg for 5 weeks, but thats up to the grower, just make sure you flower as long as the strain says and.. youll get the full buds remember AMBER trichomes for stones cloudy trichomes for psychedelic.. but at least let them get cloudy.. but a good general rule is go the flowering time the seed bank suggests.. if you dont know the seed bank, do research on the strain and use the average flowering time.. hope you get some Chronic next time,, good luck
Looking good! They'd probably appreciate a few C drop in peak temperatures, especially as the grow goes on. They get all sensitive.
They're really healthy and I think you're going to be quite happy =)
