Day 50 Flowering: Hi growmies. A great week again with these gems. They are all now in their final stage of flowering and I expect them to swell a little more and also to begin the ripening of the trichromes to all cloudy with a few amber ones. They are all doing really well and look to be fed as they need and also no signs of any deficiency. I do kot flush as I am in Living organic soil/coco and also do not use salt based nutes throughout the grow to need to wash from the medium. I also do not believe that flushing has any benefit besides error correction or to reset the medium again. With a slow dry , they use all the harsh chlorophyll that is mistaken for nutrient traces often in quicker drying methods.
Herz Og by her standard growing cycle , should be finishing now but I think she can be easily pushed another week or so. Her smell is really sweet now up close with a nice tacky feel to her too. She isnt a big plant but is really well laid out for those pollen transporters to sand the wind to get through .
Strawberry Colais am absolute trichrome monster. She is really packing the trichs onto her budstacks and sugar leaves tonwjere they don't look real close up. The camera focuses and tries again to refocus when I take pics of her .lol Certainly knew of the heaviest trichrome producers I have grown to date... I can see hownthe cola name is relevant too with how "fizzy" they appear . She smells candy sweet and very nice .
Monster Mash looks alone and like the lanky girl at school who tries to look smaller. lol
Her buds are fairly spaced out on the long stems and look more clumpy than joined up. I had to bend the main one over to allow the lights to be kept even for the other plants but she is getting more light to the lower portion now. Her buds are not very fat or chunky yet but i am hoping this week and the shogun Dragon force will help change that. Smell wise shebjas a fuel/sweet aroma to her which is familiar. lets see how she finishes now.
So it seems that this last few weeks will sort the wheat from the chaff with a yield report soon. These strains have been very simple and easy to grow and manage with very little effort on my part. If your up for a grow with an auto , definitely consider these genetics from Exotic seeds , my experience so far has been all positive and their end results are top shelf buds and taste. Great work Exotic breeders and staff alike. Roll on another week and diary report. be safe and well folks.
@MarsHydroLED,Thank you. should be a fair haul. The lights work so well and easily support the process I have been trying with perpetual growing. great spectrum for tight , chunky buds.
@MarsHydroLED,Thank you. have got 7 under the Mars Hydro sp3000 and it 8sbstill performing brilliantly with no loss of healthy light to any and they are not small ladies.
@Exotic_Seed,The genetics make it easy to be fair. . only a little lst and some environmental balance and we create this magic from nature and you guys. thanks a lot. The herz og to come next and that looks a purple beasty covered in frost.
Epsom salts could help green her up I use 1Tbls to gallon of water
But Check it out it aids in chlorophyll production I believe.
Plus magnesium๐
Hope that helps.
@MG2009,thanks mg. I don't feel she is a worry so much, just a lighter shade . I do get good results with megacrop and adding chlorophyll. It creates such a solent green to them once hitting the sweet spot. Thank you for the tip too. Good to know other ways besides non company stuff.
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy,well worth the investment and if you look on YouTube for unboxing and par map videos , you will see how well they keep the par rating at the edges of the lights limits. Still over 500 umol at 5ft. I genuinely rate this light too. seen amazing results and would love 2 in synch. no other light in this price range comes close so far. Be well and thanks for the positives
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy,agree 100%. sp3000 is a stellar light tbh. love the tsl2000 and sp250 too but the sp3000 is something else. solid buds every time. ,
