Twix Aphen Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 A quick midweek update. It's the only girl to show so far. These are f2's of a variety called Zain, from Gage Green Genetics. Its a cross between their ghost og/ad hoc and a male Malawi, from Cannabiogen (Ace Seeds). I threw away 2 males already and am still waiting for pre-flowers to show on the other 2 plants. I got a sample of this root stimulator from the grow shop. Its high in phosphate, along with amino and humic acids. I can't work out if it means 1-2 g per litre , or 0.5 g per litre? I will give it a go with the next round of clones and compare it against the kelpak and aminomix that I use now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_StonedTrooper Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Normally, world STD. Would be 1-2g for 1 to 2, and 1/2g is half. But in today's world or person doing the label, might not follow or know the above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, have you used any of their stuff before? Its chemical fertilizer, but it's well buffered. I think its pointless trying mycoroot with it, because of the high phosphate content. I've always stuck with kelpak and aminomix for rooting. Every time I've used mycoroot it hasnt made any difference, but aminomix definitely does work wonders for promoting root growth. https://www.humefert.com/results/ I look at what the farmers are doing to the soil and try to adapt their methods for my own garden. My fertiliser contains 50% Carbon and the humic acid is made from potassium humate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_humate which is high in available Carbon too. https://inteligro.co.za/story.php?pid=262&mid=268&cid=2 "The Carbology® programme focusses on the specific phenological growth stages of the tree/plant and the activation and/or manipulation of the phenological stages with the use of specific bio-stimulants and nutrients combined in a programme. Depending on the climatic influences and orchard management, this programme will be amended and managed during the season to ensure optimal fruit load and quality at harvest. The aim is to ensure the maximum available carbohydrate availability throughout the plant’s life cycle." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twix Aphen Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 This week I've caused some more tip burn and clawing. It's either the salty coco, or too much Nitrogen.  Everything has been sprayed quite heavily over the last couple of weeks. I don't increase the dosage of neem and garlic, but I increase the frequency to every 3 days, when the bugs are around. I find that a spray of fish mix (1-2 ml) helps with the bugs, but that could've also caused the problem with the burnt tips. When things get all out of whack then I just give plain water and half a teaspoon of gypsum. I took all the raddish out and removed any rotting debris from the pots. The big Buddha cheese girls came out for a hair cut and inspection. 3 distinct phenos and they all smell strong, when I rubbed them. With Mycorootno mycoroot Once they hit the top of the canes (1.2 m) I will start flowering. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twix Aphen Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 After a week without feed they have begun to go light green. They've had a little flush and are looking hungry now.The chlorine v no chlorine testPotted up to 3 litre bags and put on some barley. I was given a few mites to sprinkle onto the plants, apparently they'll chow the spider mites. the next round of Hash Plant x Blueberrythis weeklast week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twix Aphen Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Kelpak v Cosmoroot. These 4 clones have got good roots by they look a bit sad now. They got neglected in the tray and haven't been fed enough, but they will do for this comparison. I think the Cosmo root will probably work better because it has more nutes, let's see what happens. When I start flowering then I change the npk ratio from 5-3-5 over to 6-2-8. I give smaller doses and now feed twice a week, so there is a more constant supply of food available. I will continue using gypsum till week 5 and stop all feed 1 week before harvest. The next thing I want to compare is organic v hydro fertiliser. I can feed only 3 plants for 20 weeks with a box of granules, which costs R100 at Stodels. I can probably feed at least 10 plants with 1 KG of these powders, which is R100 from Hortishop. I think the plants will do better with the hydro nutes, but I wouldn't be surprised if I get the predictions wrong. During 12/12 the plan with this hortimix is to use equal parts of A & B, but not go over 10 mls each (1.4 EC). If I use the MKP then I would drop the Part A down to 8 ml and give 2 ml as a supliment. That'll be between weeks 3-5 and then go back onto A & B, but taper it down after week 6. The final week would be just plain water. The next side by side will be fabric pots v plastic containers, for flowering. I know the fabric ones use more water, but I also want to see if I can get a higher yield. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twix Aphen Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 This week I've run out of space to veg so I hung up some more lights. I have a spare 50 W of 4000 K strips with a Ballast and dimmer switch. I bought a pack of cool white bulbs and a light switch. I'm also using my 6 Volt magneto torch over some clones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twix Aphen Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 The other 7 Watt bulb is keeping the boys happy in the cupboard. @GGG hello buddy, I hope you are well. these 2 are the great white Sharks and they're just about to start shedding pollen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either the salty coco, or too much N The clawing is going now but some tips are still affected. I don't think they liked my defoil very much and my attempt to dry out the soil was a disaster move on my part. The leaves have stayed small after the plucking and some thrips are also joining the party. The two biggest are the hungrier plants so I upped the dose of granules, doubled up to 2 table spoons, gave a spray of Epsom salts and put in 3 mls fishmix with the last two waterings. I was given some 12 V strip lights and a pair of 80 watt t-5s. I can add some light for clones with the strips and boost the veg with another 160 Watts. Or even use them on the periphery of my flowering area. I'm prepping the room for flowering and think I might go up to 160 litre totes for th first 2 plants. My only concern is bearing the weight of soil onto the floor boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGG Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Those roots looks lovely , as do your plants. You can even out the weight of the tote with a bigger piece of board or even roof battons.Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twix Aphen Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 @GGGthank you for the kind words and the suggestion. What about using a pallet? 150 litres must weigh a fair bit. I'm going to use this mix again, from last year's grow. The pots are bone dry so I gave them a good wetting and a dose of seagro. I've got a lot of old hydroton that I can mix in to lighten the load on the floor joists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twix Aphen Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 This one seemed to be growing normally and then pushed out 3 branches from the node.Then reverted back to 2 branches, at the next node up. Random pics It makes life easier and is quicker to dose with a pipette, instead of a teaspoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pallet would be perfect to distribute the weight , for instance two people standing next to each other weights +- 150kg so with a pallet you should be save.Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
