***Note that I started to count the days when I placed the seeds between paper towels. The seeds were planted 3 days later and sprouted from the ground 2 days after being planted.
D22 (16/03/2021): I started the LST on Glue Gelato #2 and Banana Kush #2. Gelato was not big enough to start LST so I waited 3 days before starting LST on her. I sprinkled some pure hen manure on top of Gelato soil to help with her light green leaves.
D27 (21/03/2021): Gelato still growing slow but her leaves are greener. Banana Kush #2 is the healthier. Glue Gelato #2 still have dark green leaves like nitrogen toxicity but she still growing. She is the one that drink more. I need to give her water more often cause the ground dry up faster. I removed 1 or 2 big fan leave on each plant cause they were blocking light form reaching potential bud site.
- Light: the lights are at 100% and at 36 inch form the plants.
- Temperature: during the day: 23-26C ; during the night: 19-20C.
- Humidity: the humidity is maintain around 58-60% all the time.
- Air circulation: There is an oscillating fan on the ground, one fixed fan pointing on top of the canopy and one fixed fan to help cool the lights.
- Water: I gave water every other day or when the ground feel dry or the pots feels light. I use tap water that I let sit for a minimum of 24h with air stone: 125-135PPM and around PH6.1-6.6.
- Nutrient: I only sprinkled some pure hen manure on top of Gelato soil to help her with light green leaves.
Hi,
I love the pic with bud growth stages you shared, interesting to see those side by side for a better view and understanding on how cannabis flower mature!
Awesome bud by the way!
Thanks for sharing
@Eauderay, Thanks you very much! Yeah the Gelato grow weird. Short bush that did not really stretch in flower. She have a lot of leaves and all 3 fingers. The pistils of the bud are really tick compare to the other plants and the buds are growing along side to the branch instead of having multiple bud sites. But I'm sure it will be a good smoke ππ
Hello there! Looking awesome!
I think you are probably right about light responsable for rust on leaves, often we think it is calmag but in fact it is due to the intense static light on top constantly giving plant a sunburn! The soil and nutrients you have used are very good and amply enough!
When we give organic amendment it takes up to 3 weeks for plants to access some elements, nitrogen being the easiest one. No worries for the one you amended last.
@Eauderay, thanks for your feed back and for the info! It's really appreciated! I read that LED light can cause this kind of burn as it's easy to place them too close from the plant since they don't produce a lot of heat. It's my second grow and first with organic soil and one of the mistake I made is not letting time for my soil to ''cook''. So you are probably right when you say that some nutrient was not already available for the plant. It's completely different than growing with bottle nutrient but I prefer that way, organic! I can't wait to see the final product and compare the smoke of this grow with my previous one! πͺπ
