^just defoliated the towers, took out lower and backside nodes.... you can really see the structure of the plants, how trained they are and how beefy the stalks are by now.

thanks ss420,

I'm going to add some bloom booster this coming up week sometime, probably monster bloom at 1 teaspoon per 5 gal, get these lil cup ladies beefing up some more...

 

[megayields]

Ever try MOAB? (Mother of all Bloom) Avi? Great stuff...but even gro-bro and I always just get back to good ol "KoolBloom" dry powder, has everything we need in it

Looking good broseph!

 

[Femora]

Beee-A-uuutiful!

I notice you left a few fans... Will you pluck them to or is there a reason for them still there?

...and.. did you remove all those leafs in 1 round, or do you spread it over a few days?

Keep it up n' stay safe!

thanks mega,
Ya i've used MOAB before, had tester baggies of it, also i have some other testers of some 0-50-30 ill use as well, got the monster around... also got kool bloom liquid but no powder.... trying to use what i got....
also i have some supernatural brand bloom booster that's 1-51-32
pretty similar stuff, i've been wanting to go back to koolbloom powder but keep looking at the stuff i got on the shelves saying.... i sure wouldnt want these to go bad before using them up.
so i use what i got.

how different can all those 0-50-30's really be? aside from dyes (which MOAB has none) what's the diff? i always figured they added dyes so people couldnt just buy bulk, repackage and resell, the colors were tell tale..... esp. that pink purple blue of the monsterbloom....

Beee-A-uuutiful!

ya, i left some fans, will do another round of defoliating, did this round over 2 sittings...... will defol again later pre-harvest i suppose.
thanks femora for checkn in

i was using monsterbloom happily from day 21 to 32 in the 5kw stadium but ran out so i switched to koolbloom dry a week or so earlier than recommended but they're all happy with it. i liked the results i got from koolbloom last time i used it. i've used monsterbloom all the way through and saw some P and K deficiency the last couple weeks... but not with the koolbloom.

so yeah, +1 for the koolbloom dry. it's dirt cheap at 1/4tsp/gal. i've been using 2/3 strength with success. ill crank it up if they ask for it.

 

[SecondAttempt]

Koolbloom dry for the win.

okely dokely,

what's shakin at the twisty towers?

^^ that's what!!
definitely bulking up and getting some stink to them
altho u will still notice mag. def looking yellowing inbetween veins.... bobblehead's suggestion of nutrient solution separation within the medium is looking to be accurate,
also i prolly should add more calmag, prolly use epsomsalt as it is what is on hand at location at the moment.

I have to say, I had my doubts.

I say they're looking good, going to be some tasty ass herb, no doubt.

Big thumbs up.

Cool shit Avi

 

[megayields]

Avi...again one of the MOST interesting grows on IC Mag.....get that shit tested man I bet tit will be potent as all hell!

 

[hotboxes]

awesome my friend just stunning. again I love the ingenuity of this system the cups is great everything you used its virtually cheap as hell love it .

 

[Avinash.miles]

thanks yall for the kind words and encouragement.
I've gotten to the point in life im ready to loose a small ish crop like this to learn more about the potentials of growing this plant using still very simple methods. (hand watered, coco mix, drain to waste). luckily i haven't had to loose this crop to learn more about the process....

 

[forkup]

Nice looking girls there AM, stacking up nicely. Loving the innovation.

Day 40

Day 40

^^ 2 towers.... for some reason the canopy is thin in the center of the tower, perhaps i was a little.... overboard on the training of branches OUT, should have left some growin in the center over the cups maybe.

^ kind of a close up, you can see the front and center bud at the bottom of the pic is a flo x grimm very cone shapey buds, much more sativa leaf structure than the chunk D's in the cups forming the tower behind it.

as you can see, leaves still yellowing, magnesium deficiency is what it looks like to me, what yall think?

 

[megayields]

possibly just the plant eating itself...not neccessarily a bad thing, are you slowly dropping your EC feeding levels as you get closer to chop while flushing?

 

[Femora]

Thats just beautiful! Keep those pics comming!

no tapering off of nutes yet, been feeding 7g maxi every feeding

im planning on going 70 days w a 2 week (ish) flush.... prolly will drop the N entirely around next week.

 

[hotboxes]

yeah I would bet that it is mag. if your using maxi at full 7g/gal. . hope you get it figured Avi. looks wonderful anyways. keep up the great work man.
