DDA 1&2
 
Just checked over my DDA and found this.

Oozing resin!
 
We all put cups under our DDA to catch that resin as it drips off the plants.;)
 
I don't understand the aversion to foxtailing. :hmmmm: I'd say a majority of my DDAs foxtail towards the end, and quite frankly, it makes my heart go pitter-pat to see them developing. Mine get fat enough that one piece is a good individual hit. Lol!

Sideshow Bob, nice restraining. I'll be watching to see what your yield is. Over time I've decided that I'm gonna get about 2 oz per plant whether I train or not, so I fell into the habit of choosing to free myself from the game of controlling the plant. I have the advantage of height to exploit. Not everyone's so lucky.

Welcome to the devilish fray @Tipistroy. :hugs: Next week, eh? We'll be cheering you on to success. :cheer:

I know this is for Dark Devil (I’ll be growing that Jan 2019) but I know y’all would appreciate these shots from my first grow of Devils Cream and if you have any advice for my first grow, my journal is in my sig.

Because of my passion for DDA I have something of a sweet spot for Sweet Seeds. She's a pretty and colorful little beauty, isn't she? :battingeyelashes:

Hey guys and gals. So this is the bag seed girl I have going also. I have no clue what is going on here, but her new growth looks like the tips are burnt. Just to grow a little larger and look normal. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a cause?

Interesting. If they're growing out normal then it's your interpretation of what's going on that's off. Lol! Maybe the leaves are amassing forces for expansion. :battingeyelashes:
 
@SDWhiskers ..... Beeeeautiful! Isn't that fun? Hehehe! Kraize had pictures of the plant oozing that're somewhere back in the beginning of this thread. It's always a pleasure to see it happening in another garden. Have you tasted it?
 
Here are the lowers, definitely getting frostier as they near 12 weeks old. Back to full strength feed. Will try to let these go the full 14 just to see the difference.

Feed them a little molasses, or if you don't have any a little honey. One tablespoon with a gallon of water. Give them that every time you water them through harvest.

Sometimes it's a sign of heat-stress or that the plant is receiving "too many" hours of light per day in flower (translation: more than it received in the location the genetics hail from originally). In those cases, raising the light and/or increasing ventilation might stop it, or dropping from (for example, in the case of some sativa-ish strains) 12 hours per day to 11 or so. The latter is why I asked the other day if anyone had flowered it under less than the usual 18 or more hours of light per day and, if so, if their plants still foxtailed.

With some strains, it seems to be just a normal thing. Some sativas, e.g., Thais and Columbians might exhibit the trait. Also, some "purple" strains do.

When it's not a sign of stress, it's not necessarily a bad thing (which is good, because in such cases it's generally going to happen, lol).

But it could mean that buds continue to produce new growth - which, in theory at least, means that a person could end up with bud that's mature - but not all of it is mature, because it takes time (obviously) for that to happen, and while the grower is (im)patiently waiting for it, new bud growth is appearing. <SHRUGS> And, while it's easy to chop the top part of a plant and let the remainder continue to mature, it becomes a little more difficult when it's just portions of the buds, lol.

No, it's not a big deal. It's just a thing.

I've been farting around so someone else might have already posted the above information (and probably in a better form ;) ).

But will that help in a hempy that I only feed chemical nutes to?

I have not tasted it. The next time I go in there I will make sure to put a drip on the tip of my finger. I was very satisfied when I noticed it. She's getting harvested tomorrow evening. First harvest so I hope it goes well!

Your very first harvest, and it’s gonna be a DDA? WooHoo! :yahoo:

You realize you’ll be spoiled, right? Lol!

Probably not. The sweetner is to feed the soil biota, not the plants. We don’t have microherds in perlite.

However, you grow with coco fiber, don’t you? That supports a microherd, so you may have some indigenous microorganisms that would eat it up. I’m just not sure it’s worth it unless you’re growing organic.
 
I’ve been enjoying my DDA all day. Started the morning with a chew of cob and carried through with the occasional bong hit. A bite of Zam x Pan brownie and a single sativa snowflake were the only variation from the Devil.

Now I’ll finish out the evening with a collection of buds and the bong. :slide:

Well, there is coco present in my buckets... but not organic at all. I bake my used substrate at 350°F for 2 hours before I use it again. I also periodically feed with h2o2 to specifically kill anything that may want to colonize my grow... no critters allowed. Thanks Sue
 
SOOOOOoooo.

Super Sunday to all.

Something told me to order a new ph and tds meter. Actually the girls told me. Lol. As they look healthy the growth seems extremely slow since pre-flower. And of course the ph is WAAAYYYY OFF! PPMs are A-ok.
So the pre mix is now reading at 5.8:eek:
The drainage was at 5.68:oops: Good lord.

So now my question is, since they both look healthy should I allow them to dry up some then feed with a correct mix or flush and feed?

Ugh. One of those weeks. Any help is welcome y'all.
