Pics soon I hope. That is easily my fav new smiley. Started them on Kool Bloom today. Runt's runoff is at 2.0mS EC (1000ppm@5EC) 6.0ph. Since I mostly use GH products I set my EC pen to multiply by 0.5 for ppm, because thats what GH uses.
Queen is at 745ppm 6.3pH. I'm just going to let Runt run a little hot for now. Probably just plain water next time. Runt is a beast compared to Queen.
Well all that snappin is keepin most of them low enough, but now I have like 70+ Tops. So I think the buds will be fairly small, but lots of them. Hine-sight I would have topped more or LST and started flower earlier.
These plants are just crazy! If I had let them go they would be about 5ft(1.52m) tall from the soil. I bend and break down to 4ft(1.22m). As it is, since I broke over all those stems, at least 5 new tops formed off the bent branches. It's like I said Late Stage LST...aaah LSLST. It's actually more brutal than "low stress". I have to say I have pushed the snapping to down right abuse, but the plant always recovers without missing a beat. Physically broke the stems in half, hanging by half a stem still it comes right back.
Adding the Top Max & Kool Bloom sent them into a frenzy. In just 1 day after I started the KB the stems that are broken over began to raise quickly and one bud got cooked on the hood glass, then I cooked it some more in some other glass. In fact the main problem I have is a parasite keeps removing small buds from the plants...me!
Still can't upload pics.
Yeap trichs here too... Per Gal. 3/8 tsp KB & 10ml TM, the total of all the nutes is about 1000ppm @0.5EC. I mix it up, go hot then cool off on the next watering.
I did do another blunder by forgeting to adjust the pH for Runt's water and it was pretty low. Runoff is at 5.7pH after I added a gal of 8.4 water right after, so we'll see. I think she will be OK. It's about impossible to over-water them now, they suck it up in about 1 1/2 days.
Just realized yeah...pics....
Just a couple.... From 5-23-05, this is a snapped branch on Runt.. The Grow with light on today.. Breaking The Girl...
fuck this is one of the best threads i have read. alot of good info to absorb...VERY nice work packin..you wont be needing to smoke fan leaves anymore soon...lol.
Thanks packn - for the info and the pics - boy are they looking sweet!
I got a mix with EJBloom bubbling away now, figuring I'm gonna have to water tomorrow or sun. Mixed up 700ppm of Bloom and CalMag+, see what else I can get away with adding tomorrow...
And YAY - the galleries are up. Need to catch up on the pics now...
issac...thanks for the props
MGJ...I might have to look into bubbling the water.
I realized of all this I really don't have any bud shots yet, so I snapped some at lights out, so no shit about the leaves being droppy. Phat Lady Finger
I think so too Growdoc...My friend thinks they are some seeds he gave me a few years back of Cinderella 99. Could be, they want to be 6', I keep bustin them down to 4'.
Wow - real nice pics I really like your bud closeups, very beautiful, amazing colors! Those colas are gonna be dense man! The amazons are gonna take over your house - you have what, roughly another 40 days or more left? Maybe we should look into renting a combine?
Has the stretch started to slow yet?
Man - I can't even hazard a guess on the weight your gonna get, but you're definitely gonna be into some sweet ass sativa bud for some time!
Watch that over watering, less more often is better then more less often... also what kinda temps you got between the plants and the light/room temp/water temp???
Sorry to have all these Q's but you plants look stressed a bit and i wanna fix it before it gets bad...
Trust me Growdoc they got stressed. I had to move the plants to another location, where I have the Bubbledust. I made the closet a veg cab now, and moved BD there. I ran completely out of room. No more breaking them, that kinda ruined Queen, she looks pretty bad, more like a sticker bush than buds.
Both took on some heat damage, hopefully this new room and much more headroom will help things. I wish I had time for pics, but I just finished the rooms, and I'm working 11 days in a row 10hr shifts, so I'm about dead. My friend gave me some Sage bud (3mo slow cure), which has been knocking me out. I haven't smoked finished bud since January.
Overwatering is impossible at this point. I can run a gallon over of runoff and they will be bone dry in a 1 1/2 days.
MGJ I was hoping it would be 3 weeks, but 40d may be the reality.
Pics tomorrow, I've been looking at a new cameras lately too.
Well the girls seem to like the new spot. temps are better and the plants are free to grow however they want to no more training from here on out, they will just grow. I'll let Queen go longer than Runt..too many side shoots from the bent over main-stems. Like I said before like a sticker bush, buds are thin.
Runt, I'd say, not to shabby...trichomes really starting to accumulate. A few bud shots...I've been trying to be more artistic with the pics. Need a new camera..maybe real soon..For now here's what the old ass Olympus can do.
well done on the new closet.... but they are running out of food, use a N supplement and then after that hit it with MG (epsom salts)... do this seperate
