Hey growmies,
It’s been 31 days since flipping to flower, my tent is filled with buds.
I think I managed to recover this plant, if you look back to week 10 and 11 you can see this plant was struggling, losing her dark green colour and yellowing.
I raised my lights, getting PPFD from 1100 down to 850, I have also started feeding organic nutrients.
The organic nutrients alone will feed my plants, but my soil needed a recharge, too.
I suspect a lot of the soil bacteria started dying back, so to try and replenish the ranks I topdressed with worm castings, and created a compost tea using molasses and organic worm castings.
Neem oil was not enough to get rid of the few thrips I had, so I opted for Spinosad, an organic bioinsecticide which is derived from the fermentation juices of a soil bacterium called Saccharopolyspora spinosa
I decided spinosad was the best option because it’s organic and safe to spray in flower, neem oil can’t go on flowers, reducing its effectiveness.
After just one dose of spinosad applied in a foliar spray, My garden is pest free, and it looks like the tea and organic fertiliser is also getting color back into my plant.
The smell so far is mainly skunk, no oranges (yet) but it's clear this run is back on track.
The trichomes are okay, I've had frostier strains, I can still see new calyxes growing, so she's definitely still putting on more weight, it might be to early to call anything
I also included some pictures of the clones, they really show what a difference ScrOGging makes, since the clones were topped once and let to grow naturally
