Acapulco Gold / Colombian Gold / BlueGod

Mar 2nd - real growth is taking place with the A.G. & C.G. Both plants are producing the 6th node foliage and there is fresh growth at each node where it meets the mIn branch. - Dinner tonight after a 1.5 day dry spell. - TDS = 1270ppm *** this combination provided 2 separate soil treatments (humic acid+molasses) plus full nutrients for the foliage. Bigger than Norm concentrations that the plants will gobble-up. Close to max. - molasses being added every third meal Mar 4th/5th - nice to see how the Columbian is taking off in its growth. Spacing of the nodes will allow for a supercrop / FIMming to be done soon enough. Mar 6 - will put the phone down and take some real photos, between tonight’s fights. - still applying Foliar treatments - increasing liquid volumes as these plants are ready to go. Nice dark leaves, solid structures. 350 ml last nite ea. (5th) - these plants are targeted for a Short Veg. Hate to admit it for such a pair of classics. Next weekend will be 5 weeks and the 4x4 tent (CMH lite) will be ready. “Lites out” Blue God will stay in Veg till it catches up, then it’ll get shifted into flower as well. * liking all the info about short Veg cycles and then hard into Flower. I’m Giving it a shot! - Columbian is 6” Acapulco 4” - preparing to apply some HST to the Columbian Gold next week, its structurally ready. the act of FIMming will be carried out as well. - the Acapulco is going to have 2 of the Fan Leaves removed, to begin exposing the new growth beneath it... to a bit of direct light. We'll go from there. - Water Volume is going-up for each plant in preparation for the move to the bigger pot next week. 330 ml ea becomes 450 ml when I am able to next. Check the soil first... lift the pot...? ok water ! * there is a huge difference underneath the main canopy of these two plants. The congested space of the Acapulco Gold, has large bud sites and branches reaching out; while the Columbian Gold is providing nice even internodes and tiny branch & bud site development. Really an interesting side-by-side pair to accommodate. Mar 7 - soil is still moist , no feeding -everything looks so bloody healthy and I have a pretty good feel for how these two are differing; I FIMmed the Columbian Top, involving 7th/8th nodes; and I took 2 big Fan leaves off of the Acapulco just to get some light under the canopy. And they were both good moves. Mar 8 - Acapulco Gold had another couple large, shadow-making Fan leaves removed. (4 removed now) - FIMmed the top Node of the Acapulco *** FYI my last grow (pan x mal) was the 1st time I had attempted FIMming. Top node and each of the original bud sites were FIMmed once. It did have a positive impact on the number of bud sites. This grow will see ALL bud sites, FIMmed a couple of times each, as they become available. No hesitation !! - transplanting into the 10 gallon pots tomorrow. Plastic pot soil is staying Wet too long. Will move 3 into prepped fabric pots Mar 9th - the morning provided the perfect time, to add a little water, and then transplant these 3 into their final pots. The plastic pots were just not getting rid of any moisture. ie: small waterings and days of wet... Fabric pots will allow a more direct approach - give them a day or two to adjust and then the Colombian gets a 90 degree HST done on it. that’s also why the fan leaves are still in position, as soon as the top is bent over there will be no shadows - steady week of changes for the Acapulco & the Colombian gets its share very soon. The blue god is ramping-up it’s own growth and has a low and wide stance, its producing the 5th or 6th node now. My first Indica grow... * Bring on week 4, larger feedings and a 3100K 315 watt CMH bulb in a 4x4 tent ** adding Rezin to the feeding schedule *** switching to Flower in a week nutes + h20 = 980ppm TDS w/ Molasses = 1180ppm -Lites came on and I immediately applied some HST to the Colombian. It was bent at a 90 degree angle, between 3rd & 4th nodes. One down-side, Fan-leaf was removed and that was it, it went perfectly. This HST will prevent too tall of a plant from happening and is the beginning of my control in this grow
