I’ve got 1, you can please have it You need to come collect many stuff here anyway I’ll come get a few cuttings soon again.

Ya well, that's how it goes, I've got clones of the Qk and the GG#4, im happy with both so far, animal cookies is also looking decent, but apparently not such a dense finished bud.

Oh yes and did a big defol.

Here we are with week 4... Some developments, the plants are still stretching. Now the tallest plant is 25cm away from the light, which is the GG#4, others are well clear but canopy isn't the cleanest or best managed but its what you get when growing different strains. Quattro kush is putting on some bulky flower and bringing a beautiful purple tinge to the bud on the inside. The rest seem well on their way. Then the Sherbet crasher, I honestly think the universe doesn't like this plant. She had been suffering overwatering from the blumat and the water was coming out only 1 of the 3 drippers to make matters worse, reset it completely and it should be running fine now. However stupid shit like that will ruin the whole plant fucking up the most important part of flowering... anyway. That's all for now.

Organic tent? Sounds like a jol What did you have in mind for the pot size and feeding regiments?

Thank you buddy! now i'm that much closer to not being proficient anymore ;D

Howzit man, cool nice stuff, i'm not too sure about the mixing amino boost and leaving it stand, this i'm sure other forum members will chime in and give you the answers. The colour change is something to note though, I do not have a clue, but I think given the circumstance I wouldn't lol, just maybe add it in with each watering and leave the rest to sit as you do. Cool man all the best, look forward to following along/

Looking nice bud! These plants are set up for success. What are you feeding these girls and what soil are you using? Did you mention in another thread what genetics you were growing there?

Hectic story bud. I'm sorry to hear that, and congratulations on your first grow, looks like a success to me. All the best and keen to see your new grow and improvements, the forum is really good at helping members out achieve solid results

Correct, very stretchy. Not my favorite trait if I'm completely honest.

Not yet, but not actually sure, need to look closer.

Hello garden folk, we are in week 3 of flower with the indoor plants in the soil. The stretch should be settling now. I tried to manage the plants as best I could given the situation, the GG#4 is a standout plant. She is the only plant grown from seed, and is stretching insanely even after all the topping she received. Other plants were obviously all trained and kept in check. Possibly too much, but anyway, the canopy is manageable. Removed the hanging fan as the plants were creeping towards the fan blades, added another clip on fan and some fresh air being pushed in near the bottom corner there. And that's about all to report. on to the next couple. Order from left to right - Animal Cookies ; GG#4 ; Quattro Kush ; Sherbet Crasher

So I had a chat with @PsyCLown and We spoke about it being much better an experiment given the chance to grow 2 clones of the exact same genetics which I agree, so I will be adding these 2 GG #4 Josey Wales clones run simultaneous with the sugar widows, same set up, same feed for the experiment plant. So we will be able to somewhat conclude between seeds and clones. adds another dimension to the testing which I’m happy about. The GG is 3 weeks in flower tomorrow. We will see how she progresses during the experiment.

Ya the difference in environment from grow to grow I think will effect huge changes in how plants end up. Yeah, its not going to be super accurate but just a fun reflection or comparison. Clones do very different things from grow to grow I have noticed as well. I do expect the experiment plant to be bigger or yield more having more available nutrients. But nothing is certain. Too effect this theory somewhat, I will be making the small plant the experiment plant and the bigger one the control. Let's see what happens.

Ya I realized I've made an assumption about the peat that is wrong, the peat that I bought and using now is actually the same peat as yours, they explain in the H2gro website its the same as your bale, just moeeerseee expensive. The peat that was 4 or 4,5 was the one from Dirty hands when they sold it to me, now I hope that is correct as it was a long time ago, but either way. Doesn't matter too much as that soil is run in a couple of rounds

They looking good, you obviously going to keep feeding them? what do you have in mind?

I’m really not sure bud, I think these are just a cross of the white widow that I grew and the sugarcane that I also grew, so each plant could lean on either side quite heavily I imagine. it’s just for reference per say, one is already looking like on the taller side

Seeds bud, ya they are going to be different no matter what, or maybe surprise us and grow pretty similar

Yes this is also a luxury home growers and commercial growers who take advantage of retaining a symbiosis in the soil can achieve, because at the end of some people need to achieve better yields so if you can have the best of both why not. My growing approach remains having the huge majority of nutrients come from organic sources. And then on my next soil test on my bed, which is in totes now, I will be adding sulphates for micro nutrients. also been thinking about a good source of silica as foliar for seedling stages only. But we will see

Here’s the babies, there’s a tall and a short one by the looks of it. please can I have a general consensus of which one should be the control, the plant I will grow exactly how I usually grow no chemicals, and the other with the bloom nutes? control will be (different soil) in my very old, freshly Re-amended soil. thanks and always appreciate the feedback

This is conventional agriculture, people hate that word but, with soil, farmers will do anything to up the numbers, not all but you can imagine what I’m saying, and how far they or their fathers and their fathers were willing to go with excessive amounts of salt / pesticides / Herbicides led them to where they are today and many times the story is dire, the soil will not function probably if salts are used in excess for prolonged periods of time, I will definitely be throwing this soil away once the grow is done, and not in my garden lol, they going for a drive But for purposes of the machine, this angle in my view is more quantity, less quality.

Howzit bro, yeah I’ll probably let the soil sit for 2 weeks, but this is such a mild recipe that I reckon you could get away will 1 week to be very honest, the availability of nutrient when in a topdress scenario is much higher as the topdress goes into the most active area. Yeah I’ve also tried to fix calmag deficiencies with dolomite topdress and didn’t immediately see good results, I fried some plants and then others snapped back and finished reasonably. I needed a decent source of calcium in the medium because I’m not adding any liquid calcium to supplement the feed. So we will see how it goes but I think it will be okay, just want to see how the soil reacts to the chemicals

Nice one man, yeah exactly, let’s see how it goes

Ok thanks for all your input, I’ll take special consideration when implementing Implementation is done no time to waste, these seedlings are going to need a home in the next week or so. I’ve gone for a very simple light mix, very similar to that of Freedom Farms Formula 1 🏎 so this is like Formula 3 beep beep! Lithuanian Peat moss 9l Worm Casting 7l Perlite 9l Basalt rock dust 1/4 cup Calcitic lime 1/8 cup Gypsum 1/4 cup Bonemeal 1/4 cup Seedgrain malt blend 1/4 cup Dolomite 1/16 cup Giving the soil no more than 2 weeks as stated before These plants are going to repot and then 1-2 weeks and FLOWER! Have a flippin Kwaai weekend

The 200l bale?
