***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.
D48 (11/04/2021): Some deficiencies showed up this week on Glue Gelato #2 and Gelato. Banana Kush #2 is fine and show no sign of deficiencies. It looks like phosphorus or calcium deficiencies. I top dressed my plant with 6 tables spoon of the following ingredient:
- peat-base soil
- earthworm casting
- pure hen manure (4-4-7) (I add way more then 6 tbs. of pure hen manure)
- Bone meal (2-10-0)
I also gave water with organic marine phytoplankton soil enhancer (175ml per gallon of water). I think the compost tea I was doing was really not strong enough in nutrients. I will buy some good shrimp compost this week and will do a better compost tea. Despite those brown ish red spots, they all seems to grow well. Banana Kush and Gelato seems behind Glue Gelato but they showed more pistils this week.
- Light: the lights are at 100% and at 12 inch form the plants.
- Temperature: during the day: 24-26C ; during the night: 19-20C.
- Humidity: the humidity is maintain around 55-56% 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. This week, I almost gave water everyday.
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
