Acapulco Gold / Colombian Gold / BlueGod

Mar 18th starts week 5 off with a reduced line-up in the tent; Maui moved back to the small tent - LST to be applied to the Colombian Gold tonight. Branches are now workable... - plants fed last nite (17th) - lite cycle will be down to 12 hours tonight, completing the move into the flower cycle. We’ll see how long this gentle approach takes for “ Stretch/ Reach” to happen. - looking forward to having 3 different strains, each with a different structure, going at the same time... will be interesting. It’s the last batch before Summer ! (Hopefully not too far INTO Summer) Mar 19th - LST was applied to the Colombian Gold, and I was able to produce a fan pattern to the major branches. - as this thing takes off, there will be no smaller branches in the tent for this grow. Each grow I allow fewer small branches and see the merit in pruning more aggressively = much healthier plant & way less fluff on the scale Mar 20th, - last 100% Veg meal delayed till Sunday 21st. Then the transition to Flowering nutes is going to be introduced afterwards over 3 meals; 1/3 flower 2/3 Veg nutes; then 2/3 flower 1/3 Veg Nutes; then full strength from Week 6 onward - TDS = 1370ppm ( molasses on hold, It’s getting full ) Mar 21st, - applied some LST to the A.G. ahead of any growth spurts. This plant is growing incredibly well, filling the surface area with a healthy shrub and lots of new growth. Tilted the top... - C.G. is simply thriving in this environment. The LST applied to it has seen only new growth and seems a successful approach to dealing with a tall Lady. This plant will be well secured to keep the main branches low and attached to the pots sides. - B.G. is filling out and producing a lot of bud sites. Time to lose a couple more Fan leaves... - LST for the B.G. to help it define what goes where... - not feeding tonight, half-volume tomorrow ~ 4L Mar 22nd. HEAT DAMAGE !! - while messing around with the dehumidifier, and a partial-feeding, I accidentally moved the little micro-furnace that I have been heating the tent with... and did not put it back where it belongs. ** It looks like it took the exposed Head off-of the Colombian plant. The top that had extended (successfully) beyond the Pots edge. Properly secured via LST, it left it no room to turn away... I gave it a misting, re-positioned the heater again Facing into the Corner!, and turned the plant. Will assess tonight. Gave it an extra Foliar Spray !!! -the picture of the Colombian titled p.m. shows what part is affected the most - fed 1/2 volume Mar 25th - tonight’s dinner posted above; transitioning into Flower nutrients: 8L / 3 plants. - TDS = 1140 ppm; - w / Molasses = 1270ppm - there is a change happening in the plants Bud sites. They are all getting Lighter in colour. Bring-on those little hairs - removed the leaves / sprouts closest to the main stalk along each branch and any leaves facing Inwards - ratio of water/nutes is good now that we are in transition. The volume however will continue to grow over the next month as these ladies begin stretching and start making Buds now - the Colombian seems to be recovering from the heat exposure well enough. Clipped the obviously damaged branches and moved on. I just may get a bud on the main Cola after all... -happy with LST on a.g. & c.g., both plants will make full circles. There are only opposing branches on the main stems. -the goal is to secure each of these main-branches to the actual pot-brim shortly as “stretch”, is about to take place. - Foliar spraying to continue until Pistiles/Hairs show-up. Probably another week.
