Gd morning growers! 

 

WEEK 3 - DAY 21

 

Third week just happily ended. Lots of things happening this days.

 

First, I switched to bloom nutrients at the beginning of the week, after a good watering with enzymes only. I'll repeat this feed every 5-7 days to avoid salt build-up in the medium. Also started using bud candy which will stay with me until flushing time.  Lowered down a point on EC cause I was seeing leaves going towards that bluish-green and don't wanna risk any nutrient excess. As the aim here is to find a special tasty plant, I'll not bother them pushing with nuts, I'll rather stay in the low side. 

After this pics were taken, at the end of the week, I also switched to flowering light with a nice HPS which will hopefully help fattening up this little buds. 

 

Here are them

 

Temps   18-25°C                                                   RU 44-58%

Took out the bagseed plant as its not Sweet Seeds and its out of the contest. Dont worry, it is safe and alive, starting budding as well. 

 

 

On flowering day 20 I've cleaned up undergrowth. This and the second fan i added, allow more air to pass through the bottom of the plants, as well as giving me nice little clones to save that keeper I'm looking for. You can also see how I managed to rise pots to maintain an even canopy on top. 

 

 

Here what I came out with, 3 cuts each plant, just to be safe. 

 

 

EC 1,0                                                   PH 5,8

 

 

CalMag Xtra: 1ml/l ca.

B-52: 2ml/l

Bud Candy: 2ml/l

Sensi Bloom coco A+B: 1ml/l ca. (maybe a lil more, I don't go by ml's, I just read ec levels)

 

Sensizym: 2ml/l (Just in that water-only day)

All looking sweet @G_lab with flowers starting the sprout and good luck rooting out your cuttings

[G_lab]

Thanks for stopping by @Serpent! And as well for your wishes.. I need some luck with cuttings as I had really bad rates last couple of runs. Now I'm trying for the first time Clonex, hopefully it will help. 

[Salty]

Hey @Salty thanks for passing by and the kind words. 

 

To be honest last winter I had no problems and usually close to 100% rate. Have to say that this year I'm cloning at 18/6 light cicle instead of 24/0, being clones next to mothers light. Maybe thats the cause? 

 

I love variety too. It gets boring with the same herb all the time. Thats why I'd love to find few different keepers to choose from 

[G_lab]

Alright fellas! Gotta play some catch-up to get up to date. 

 

13th of March

 

WEEK 4 - DAY 28

 

Plants are going their way without any big issue. Stretch is well over, now plants start fillin up. I keep feeding them at low EC and they seem to like it a lot. Never been over 1.1 EC, every 5/7 days feed only phD water and sensizym. Removed B-52 and introduced Big Bud coco version, to get those buds fattening up nicely. Smell has come already  all the room is quite stinky and the best has yet to come!  Cant put the filter inside the box cause the extractor is too weak. I tried but I lose negative pressure and the box inflate, making the filter useless cause the air will escape from other places. In the end I've put the filter on the main extractor of the room where the box is placed and so far is working quite good.  

 

Stop talking lets see some green
