Re: Arteekay's 1st Grow - Sunshine #4 - Spider x 4 - Crop King Autoflowering Mix Stra
Well, turns out that by about 9pm, Mondays that are holidays feel exactly like a Sunday night. Back to work after 5 days, I'm going to have to be retrained I think. "What is it I do around here again? And you pay me well for that?"
Candi is a very thirsty girl, she can barely make three days. Rev was light as well and was ready (in our somewhat uneducated opinion only, of course) for her switch to bloom nutes. We flushed her with about 6 liters and gave them both full strength DNF Bloom A+B and half strength Calmag+ at 930ppm and 5.8 PH.
Family pics:
Rev (42 days, 18 inches) grew another half inch, has the double top and I just noticed another feature I haven't gotten a picture of yet; The next node down is a triangle with three fan leaves all at the same level, and off each is a nice little nug just forming. That cola is gonna be crazy I think. And to top it off, all her branches are just stupid thick and firm. She's just a little powerlifter:
Brit (45 days, 18.5 inches) put on an inch and a half and is just starting into flowering. I think we'll keep her on grow nutes for at least one more cycle. What a trooper:
Droopy (53 days, 16 inches) didn't do anything really that we can see. More of her top sugar leaves went purple, and it's hard to find any frost on her at all. It's kinda late to give her a name, but I'm considering Blanche, as she has always depended on the kindness of strangers, and of course she's just blanched:
Trudy (53 days, 19 inches) remains the most mature of our girls. Most developed buds, most frosting, and her hairs are about 1/3 brown from the tip down all over. We talked tonight about starting to cut back a bit on her nutes for next feed, maybe 3/4 to start, opinions requested and appreciated:
Talked tonight about getting some hair resistant cloth "lab coats" to wear when working with the girls, we gotta do something to cut down on the hair being transferred, particularly now that the girls are getting all sticky. What do others with pets that shed do?
Onward.
Candi (53 days, 28 inches) grew another half inch. She's just so much different than the others, but I have big hopes for her:
Supercrop has knuckled up quite well. We noticed our cross brace was no longer providing any support as she had lifted off of it. She was all waving around like mad when we'd move her, so we built a tomato cage of sorts out of bamboo stakes to contain a bit and tie up some of her branches. Seems much better supported now, pics tomorrow:
Tallest Northern Lights (53 days, 23 inches) grew another half inch. She's second in line on the development scale, in my opinion only of course:
I'm a little worried her main cola might be foxtailing, seems to be stretching again a bit. Op
Didn't grab my usual "back in the tent" shot.
Ordered us a three pack of Dark Devil autos this afternoon, and picked a Lemon Skunk auto as the the freebie seed that comes with it from True North Seed Bank. I'm gonna fit one of those in as soon as I possibly can. Don't know why I'm so jazzed to grow that one...
