Girls for new soil and room for activities

July 3 - July 11: The first week after flip. July 12: Day 9 of 12/12 Very carefully up-potted #1 and #2 into the darker grey 10L->15L darker #3 repotted 10L->20L lighter I usually finish in +20L but initially thought that with them being relatively small I could get away with 10L... I noticed 1# and #2 (closest to the heater) drying faster than usual and I think I over corrected by giving those 2 a bit more water. Sad (wilting/drooping) looking leaves... wary that it could be the heater, it could be me overwatering, but if its root-space related then it's #3 will soon follow them. So repotted to be safe and also lowered the temp of the heater from 26C to 22C - hoping that's less of a shock to the plants right next to the heater when it comes on but will also still prevent the tent from getting too cold. Growing in peak winter is new to me [emoji23] tweak the system and learn as we go... They pretty much pulled out the 10L pots like plugs July 14 - day 11 of 12/12 Still looking a lil sad at this point. July 17 - 2 weeks of 12/12 #2 and #1 looking happier and #3 looking happiest Removed some excess fan leaves. Over the next week I will remove some leaves covering buds but after 3 weeks of 12/12 I'm going to try avoid any surgery until the big cut. #3 in all her glory

Some happening middle of the week, decided to push these branches apart to open up budsite for the middle 2 arms on the small plant, better late than never. And then image of the living mulch, just a combination of different covercrop as-well as green and brown mulchies. No pest pressure and/or anaerobic situations for now.

Morning growmies.. Cleaned the girls up a bit and removed unwanted bud sites..

I was quick in the tent to make a picture of Sisa while she is sleeping ^^ Damn stalkers The sleeping Beauty ^^

Looking a little shocked. Transplanted them this morning. Silica folia and a humic drench. Nice to look at, these pots are rad. Shock, maybe planted a little deep as well.

Latest up pot, clones, seedlings and mothers.

It's been a week since I transferred the plants into the PnP bags. I kept the lights on 24 hours since Monday temps in my cabinet dropped down to 9°. I have started also adding molasses. Things seem to be back on track and plants are improving on a daily basis.

I finally found a dehumidifier

Update: Week 3 of flower Not much to say this week. Its been really cold, as low as 12 in the tent, plants are still looking healthy and growing well. I'm pretty sure there will be pistils to take pics of by next week

@Weskush Dutch Passion has a CBG variant available through Trophy seeds. I haven't seen any other local seed supplier that stocks CBG strains. https://www.trophyseeds.com/product/dutch-passion-cbg-force/

Week 8 Update / Flower Week 2 Morning fam, this week was defol time for me to remove the lower stuff that won't make the cut (intentional lame pun ) and to give some light to the stragglers that just might push through to the tops. Last time I'm touching the leaves until much later. Ms Organic is a beautiful steady growing plant. I followed the great advice of @Green Leaf Organics and was mindful of saturating all of the media to runoff and following up with another saturation 20min later. As predicted she looked a bit droopy initially but not too bad, she bounced back quickly and was soon up and about with more vigor than before. Pics to follow All the ladies before defol: Ladies immediately defol: Some pics of what they currently look like: Ms Organic getting a good soak and looking a little droopy: But snapped out of it very quickly: Have a great weekend!

She's a stretchy lass! Between not burning her and managing the stretch, I must admit her height has gotten away from me a bit. The canopy is no longer as even as I had hoped, although it may still look pretty cool in the end. She may even be quite a yielder! I have fed The One with a round of full Preflower dose, 2ml/L Gro, 2ml/L Micro and 1.5ml/L Bloom. She must feel so overwhelmed amongst my lovely ripening flowering plants, like a teenager checking out a varsity campus for the first time (most PC analogy I could think of.. and their were many )

HiHi I am doing well, just freezing balls Hope you are well too. I will definitely. I ran into a situation where I took a friends plants into my care (or he had to destroy them). Its going into flowering now. I will then be popping them beansss and doing a proper diary for you guys.

@Nibiru I'm hope you are well brother... Was looking forward to seeing you drop some of that fire soon, and the family here too Would be amazing if you posted the grows on a diary or something of that kind, and not meant to rush you now. Stay well brother

Same dude, same. It also really helps to water when transplanting to prevent air pockets in the soil at the root level. Them air pockets can be a doozy. @Adansonia digitata, I like your blue takkies bru

Idiot the room over tripped the elec resulting in 7 hours of 100% humidity in the dark. It was like they had been held under water, soaking. Fml. So plenty buds have have been sacrificed to the gods of rot. Rip. I think it's stabilised now, but it's a dog's breakfast as you will see. Don't be like me, always check your runoff, pH of 7, so I'm still watering too high. FF really mean it when they say water at 5.5-6.0. I've been doing 6.5-ish, only recently lowered to 6.0. Stupid mistakes. Also, I've clearly been training them to death. Going forward I'm going to practice as much restraint as I can, try and get a bit more volume, so buds aren't so mashed together. Still, ..I really like the CDxCDLS, blue grape-ish terpenes. Beautiful colours. Considering the abuse I put them through, nothing to cry about. New: 2 unsexed Creme De La Soul x Zamal x Amethyst..something, I can't read the rest. Autos, so I'll have to transplant, not ideal, but hey.

Weather is good to do something.. so you do something ^^ busy all morning cleaning up. Also took the Deluxe Floppocane down smell is very nice.. the plant looks a bit like it jumped into a pot of paint. with support without ^^ Deluxe Floppocane

Yeah me to.. They explosive growers. They a few days away from being bigger than the Tortoni girls. This QB240 is a awesome light.. If I could of had the Tortoni girls under it from the start it would of been a game changer..

You did the right thing by not repotting before flipping, I wasn't asking because I was thinking what you did was wrong. just trying to follow your general train of thought on things Let's see the ph and ppm values for interest sake, remember to chek the values of the water you put in, don't make too much runoff. give little bit by little bit water to saturate medium as best possible before collecting first runoff, otherwise if you throw a bunch of water in the top one time and collect fitst runoff you not gona have accurate readings. So coco, coming from a coconut tree that genetally grows on coastlines and close to coastal areas, generally have excessive amounts of Mg in it, because of the salt in the water, soil and air around where it grows. This is why coco needs to be rinsed before use, especially those compacted bricks of coco need to be rinsed thoroughly. If you working with unwashed coco and added more Mg along with the calmag supplement, that might have been causing issues too. about the buffering, this could also be another reason why plant isn't uptaking nutes, most important part about buffering is to help keep ph stable through out the grow, but that's not all the surface of coco naturally has a negative charge (certain compounds will not "bind" or "stick" to it) it has to be introduced to cations which are positive charged ions, which are capable of "holding onto" those compounds. if your coco has no CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) you will essentially be pouring some nutes right into the trays below the pot. so the washing and buffering and then still having to check ph each and every single time you give water. coco is so much of a headache I am not sure what the mixing of nutes so long before they're used will do to the composition, but I wouldn't suggest it. at least you testing the water each time before giving it? if the ph and ppm is still where it needs to be, it shouldn't do any harm. I see a lot of people growing for CBD these days, are you going to be making extracts? hahah you got a couple nice plants growing and gona yield couple nice buds to smoke on, you're really not that far off. I bet we all still feel far off from where we wana be! I know I do!

Welcome to the party, everyone please put your hands together for... El Chapo

I found this, look up the strains and see if any are available locally or via import @Weskush

CBG is going to be the next big thing , in my opinion it's better than cbd in certain areas and is extreamly under utilized. I was lucky enought to be given 150 cherry haze cbg seeds from am overseas contact , 14% cbg . Unfortunately I have not seen any locally available atm. I am planning to fraction off the cbg in a SPD setup and start processing cbg oils for anxiety disorders Are you wanting for personal or commercial use?

Yeah from what I could see, very similar, bar a few treatments, where one is better or preferred.

Before:

Girls seem to have bounced back somewhat. Phew. Full report sometime this weekend. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Quick update, the one plant started praying and is going hundreds. Other plant still looks to have a eina eina with the bright light.

Howzit fellow growers Any suggestions on high CBG strains? CBD is one thing but CBG seems to be more potent for particular treatments. Any input would be lekka

Currently going for an average of $10 a seed for High CBG low thc . CBG will overtake CBD in anxiety treatment in the next few years

Good evening growmies! My lady is now starting to make budsites and stretch quite nicely. I cleaned up a bit more underneath and am eager to see how the flowers develop. I have a beautiful sluricane in late flower and if any of these genes come through, it is going to be a sweet flower and very frosty! I can't wait!

Jisso, me toooooo. Go Bulls

In Christopher Walkens voice... You gotz, to water, them in... If you do, and it's time for them to be fed, you will not skip a heartbeat.

Just had a look. This is some expensive seeds right there!

Awesome man. I once made the mistake to not water after I transplanted and didn't do the plants any good. Usually a good watering after the transplant helps alot with the shock. But otherwise they look great. They'll explode the next few weeks. Will be watching this closely.

Ah okay, I see. The coco I'm using is from freedom farms, a 70/30 coco perlite mix. Maybe I should buy my own bricks and make my own mix in future so that I know exactly what its being washed with, etc. I test the water the night before I feed, as I feed in the morning and don't have enough time to test before I leave the house. This plant will be for smoking, but my charlotte's angel cbd that's in veg I am planning to use for extracts. I think I'll give soil another try in the beginning of next year. I had so many headaches in the beginning which probably put me off of it, but those were only my first 2 grows. I'm sure it will be better next time I try. Thank you for all the valuable info

Less than 12 hours later

AQSF and Potassium Bicarbonate is my go to! Had 2 mini winter harvest without any mildew problems which I experienced before.

Firstly, Hope you members from KZN are all safe. That shit was WILD, man! 12 June - Week 3 Not uniform growth, it's likely a user error.

Day 1 of Week 11 Update They got 2 liters each 1/3/3 (Grow/Bloom/Top Max per liter) and ... 3.5ml Amino Boost on 10 liters of rain water. Grow shop guy told me that I have to Ph.. I told him that I will not do that hehehe worked 100% stress free in soil without Ph adjusting your feeding solution. Not the clearest picture, I was a bit in a hurry ^^ had more work to do before the light went off. Sisa is clear ahead in flowering substance but Tarryn decided to follow her now.

aha aha I see, if you where vegging for longer would you have put them into bigger pots or is 10L your biggest? hahahah guess I should first ask before stepping on any toes again, you growing to get bud off your plants, or you also not growing for yield? I mean there is a lot to be said, but if you're just growing, because growing is growing, then you doing 100% showing is your plants and not wanting advice. I had to read back on the thread, I see a lot of talk about adding silica. Have you been doing so? if so, how much and how often? You got a ph and a ppm meter brother? as mentioned before on the thread, silica can cause nasty ph swing. Just for interest sake I would like to see what the readings are on the runoff there? You might have caused ph issues somehow, ph might be just out of range to uptake certain nutes. you working with salt nutes, so I am guessing you're in coco? what ph you giving them? did you wash the coco and are you using some sort of calmag? I also see that you are in week 7/8 of flower already, indicating that growth has slowed down conciderably, but being so late in flower might deminish the possibilities of a full recovery and the plant returning to its normal self. by the time you got the roots fixed the plants will probably be pushing nanners cause of old age. don't wana risk that. I would really like to know the ph and ppm readings, it will help reduce the guessing. I think your best bet is to switch to plain water and finish those girls up, but take note for future grows.

UPDATE to the end of week 2 of flower. No feeding necessary, they are doing well. Will just been spraying some humic/fulvic over the topdress/livingmulch. Definitely flower time

Flowering out this TropicannaCookies x QuantumKush male that got gifted to me. Gooing of some nice tropical fruit terps and dank resin on the flowers.

Built some small benches for the flower tent.. The 3 Girls got some company this afternoon..

Update: The ladies are taking over the tent. I made a decision to switch T3 to GHE Bloom nutrients. She's only had one dose so far and still looking good. T1 and T2 are still on the organic Budding Genius nutrients range.

@CreX Don't just like it, come give me your money and take one!

This is some insane training and for the time allocated. Madness

7 days into flower , they enjoying this grow space much more than the veg space . Very cold the last week in WC and they just received plain rainwater. Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk
