Week 6

The plants outside are doing really well. Way too much rain at the moment, but I am feeding them twice weekly to keep their strength up.

You could expect some frost on that one. Deluxe leaning plant.

Khamzat, what a fight. Been watching him since his early days and I always Blvd he was top 5 quality. This fight was his biggest challenge and I was really hoping he won even tho I had my doubts. What I can say is the man is a killer that can take a beating, I do think he lacks abit of technique in his stand up game but that will come with experience and training (look at how khabib improved his standup game) but it's safe to say that a guy with 4 fights in the ufc and entering the top 5 is unheard of so I'm happy for him, but watching him fight on sat I have to say that I don't think he's ready for the champ. But Atleast now we will know what he's made of, he can take alot from his win. Top 11 beating the 2nd best guy shows the potential this guy has, now he can learn and improve himself, id give him anther 2 fights in the top 5 before giving him a title shot. I honestly blv if he has to fight for the title now unfortunately I don't see him being able to take down Usman but give him anther 2 fights he may get enough experience. I won't be surprised if we looking at the next champ

Hi guys, another noobie looking for info. So I used some diatomaceous earth on some clones after noticing some fungus gnats buzzing around. Its the first time I've used the stuff, didn't really read instruction, just added a few teaspoons over the topsoil and watered. This was to small pots carrying clones. Two days later and stange thing has happened, the clones that were drooping and struggling are making an awesome comeback but an older batch of clones that were doing well are now drooping as if wilting. I have some theories but curious and be very grateful to hear the opinions out there. Peace ✌

I have pruned a little bit of the ZxP plants in the Organic Tent™. I like the shape I have managed to get thus far with some simple LST. I have decided to flip them to flower today and will add a net in a day or two to help manage the upcoming stretch period.

Almost there. About 85% colonized. Taking kak long though. Going almost 2 months now! Luckily no signs of contamination. @Naughty.Psychonaut

Thanks man. It's been driving me nuts Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Hi @TikyIckee welcome to the forum. Can you share some photos of what you busy with so we can see? Easier to guage what's wrong when taking a look at things. First note - DE works best when dry. I usually sprinkle when top soil is dry. So would water then wait 24hrs then put a layer of DE on the dry topsoil, you could even dust the plant with it. With the next watering the DE will go down into the soil, but trust me having it sit there dry for a day or two and dusting the plant with the stuff will do much more for you than watering it straight in. Second Note - this ties into the first note, most soil dwelling pests you don't want will lay eggs in the soil and only the eggs that are in the top 5cm of soil will hatch. that top 5cm is the breeding grounds for stuff like fungus gnats and other pests. so you only really need to cap that top layer by putting a nice healthy layer of dry DE ontop of that. eggs will hatch, larvae will move upwards to pop out the soil and on their way they encounter thick dry layer of DE. this is how they die. living soft bodies have to crawl/wriggle over some dry DE to kill it. if you just water it in it acts more as a nutrient than a pesticide. My opinion would be that DE - when used the right way - wouldn't cause plants any stress. it does however provide the soil with small amounts of silica and calcium which are both nutrients cannabis plants use, maybe the reason why some of the cuts jumped up and looking happy with the added DE. however, you say other cuttings looking less happy? this could be a completely different reason. First, maybe you used a little too much DE, but more likely there is something else going on. This will be easier to say if we can see photos? perhaps some more info aswell? Organic? Synthetic? Ph? What soil/medium you using? How big are the cuttings? What size pot? What nutrients? How often do you water? Do you let the soil dry before watering? those things...

Yeah I got the seed from a buddy who to bought his seeds from president seeds. And yes I have stopped feeding her but I have all these friends telling me to harvest but I think they just want to smoke my plant in a hurry haha but what your saying sounds correct, I was feeling like she needs more time as s some of the trichomes haven't ambered yet as much as I hoped. So thank you very much for your feed back. It's much appreciated

Blessing to all you green buddies! I hope the weekend has been one for the garden, I’ve moved some girls around to make space for new endeavours. These girls outside we have the Jelly breath and Dqxslurri flowering but bearly, they should be done in actual fact but the LED street lights don’t make flowering smooth sailing, plus too the powdery mildew is coming to bite us, but I’m positive we can maybe get to the end just moving the jelly breath under the shading of the greenhouse initiated flower properly, which was actually a second flower stretch, so she turned out big. these small girls were treated quite badly but I needed a solid cutting, so we can’t really worry too much about them, will be running the clones that are somewhat worthy. Then we got a new light, I’m collecting equipment so I may be putting stuff up for sale soon. It’s a 650w LED lamp, lm281B diodes run on 2 individual 320w JUSON drivers and individual dimmers setting which is very useful in my opinion. Will be running some dqxslurri short in here I think that’s all to report, ps, the weekend is over yet

Some of the plants finishing up. They are at day 70.

Hello bud, so depending on your medium and the structure you have created, your medium will dry up or stay wet all hinged on above factors, also the size of your plant. letting you medium dry up completely in a living soil takes much longer than any other conventional method of growing I have found, due to the fact that living soils contain more organic matter than most soils. They are naturally better at keeping water in the system. Water logging living soil is also the easiest thing any grower can do and does because they are afraid of letting the soil dry out too much. my advise is to stop worrying about under watering completely and every-time you want to water or not sure if you should, wait another day. Or get a moisture probe, even the lightest pots can still make that needle jump. keeping living soil aerobic as best you can is very important.

Dqxslurri - Day 3 of flower. Light defoliation: Quattro Kush - Still vegging. Probably overwatered and/or slight nute deficiency:

Another week gone! Ladies are looking pretty good in my opinion. End of Week 5. Now past the half way mark possibly another 4 weeks to go. It's been an interesting grow, have learnt a shit ton all over again. Looking forward to the next batch already! Haha. Been messing around with the camera, cannabis is a great model!

To make me feel better I took some pictures of the surviving KmintZ cola as well as the untouched ZxP. Harvest will likely be this weekend. KmintZ ZxP

So a brief update. Some pictures I took yesterday. GG Wedding Mints #4 GG Wedding Mints #1 Critical Banana #3 Critical Banana #2 Pineapple Chem Crescendo - both plants are from Canna Clone, not sure if one is just less happy or if these are two different strains? Zweet Inzanity Bananium: Platinum Punch: All plants are 6.5 weeks into flower now. The GG Wedding Mints seem to be adding on a bit of weight at least, hopefully they continue to do so up until harvest!

Quick update on the KmintZ and ZxP, they are 8 weeks into flower tomorrow. ZxP looks pretty good to go to be honest. I will try take some trichome pics later tonight and determine how ripe they are. The KmintZ is getting a bit more colour in the pistols but I am feeling another week or two. I would also like to get a better idea from the trichomes. I have for the most part completed the hardest part of the training for the ZxP in the Organic Tent™. So far things look nice and flat, 8 main stems designated on each plant. When I get some length on each stem I will throw in the scrog net and then flip to flower.

Final defoliation before flower.

The end of week 4. Shaping up quite nicely. Wish I had got the canopy more even but I'll learn from that! Going to take it a bit easier on the nitrogen me thinks, tips curling on quite a few of them. They need water tonight, pics taken while ladies were thirsty. Bananium: Deluxe Sugarcane: Tent:

Im supposed to send stock tomorrow. Hope its still operating. He bought like 9k worth of autos from me a few monthes ago and never listed them. Hope everything is ok with cannabist. 200 tiny plants. Aiming for this size lol really. Then reveg.

Disaster strikes! I have had some problems with electricity the last few days. Our DB board has been tripping on odd occasions and at really early hours so my flower tent had been sitting for a few hours at maximum humidity, like 80%+. Unfortunately this has caused two of the KmintZ colas to develop bud rot and they have been lost as a result. I have had already tapered off the nutrients to near zero so I think I will cut the reservoir feed tomorrow and try let the pots dry out then make the harvest happen.
