Ditching The Salt!

[stinker]

Today the last plant in a starter pot was taken out of the tent. Needed the space. Hopefully it wont be missed. What was potted up is doing great. You can really see what a difference the pot size makes in growth. It received the same nutrition otherwise. It looks a little blue.

Looks like the mutants are keeping up with the rest ,, looking freaking good

Thanks, they are doing good. The whorled phyllotaxy supposedly increases the yield. It seems there are more true mutations these days. With these, there were two of same strain out of three.

I wish you’d enter the competitions more! These pics need to be shared. Xo

Just did last month, and won. Thanks again for the vote. I like to grow. Its a good relaxing show.

You say the nicest things. Looks pretty blue to me.

I have an older point and shoot type of camera. It does have a white balance that is hard to get right under LED's. Especially with this light it has so much red in it. I just tried again after watering. Still bluish

Just finished a water/feed with an EC of 2.6 and a Ph of 6.3. They are eating and drinking good. When feeding, always start slow and watch. Too strong is never good. I think they can build a taste for more. Like with exercising or training.
This is my favorite time of the grow.

1 more camera adjustment. Its better, I think? I has to be.
These were just watered again. The 10 are getting 21 liters every other day. The Ec was 2.2, its lower again for awhile since reducing the grow nutrients. They need to start stretching more so they can open up.

Nice organic garden Stinker! Your plants are beautiful!

I had a whirly taxicab 3 branched per node wedding cake that grew incredibly well and smoked the same! I pollinated a few branch tips and wow, the off spring is very pleasant! The triple thing stopped in the next generations far as I can see.

Hi Stone, thank you. I appreciate you reading the journal. My notices blew up.
The biggest difference I notice with the organic is the smell. I smell the earth in the soil now.

Its a cool mutation. One time a side branch started randomly growing 3 branches per node and stopped. Never like this from the main stalk. It for sure takes up more room. Its harder to make it fit.

Last night, some of the lower fan leaves needed to be taken . It looks like the plants will need some defoliating at mid level before the stretch has completed. Its too thick now and there is a lot of transpiration. There are preflower pistils on most of the plants now.
So far, the tallest & largest are the Laughing Buddhas and the shortest are the Bruce Banners.

Thanks for looking in. Happy grows

I think if you stay on top of training and pruning on them they can be super rewarding! Also, the organic smell. Yeah that's the start of noticing. Buds are the final answer though. I think they taste a little different the more refined the organic method goes. Have fun!

Lately I don't do much as far as training unless something starts getting too tall, then I will usually supercrop. It would be great If the taste is better or different with the organic stuff.

Good day! They are stretching now. I hope to see some buds starting soon. Today is day 34 and 11 of 12/12.
They are eating and drinking good. Yesterday they all received approximately 2 liters with an EC of 2.4
Thanks for looking in.

I find it that way. Now that I began learning about brix, it's different again!

Thank you! Its good to see you.

Thanks Stunger. Its still a surprise when they get so big with the short veg.

I find it that way. Now that I began learning about brix, it's different again!

I have read a little about brix and measuring for it. Do you measure for and aim to maintain a certain brix level?

I have read a little about brix and measuring for it. Do you measure for and aim to maintain a certain brix level?

I'm a student of it so I'm learning. Yes, there's a range of brix to look to achieve. Along with that comes the benefits of taste and bug resistance. Apparently most bugs don't like to eat plants with brix levels over 14 if memory serves. Outside was really a wakeup for me last year! Brix is a measure of sugar in the leaves. Sugar is a byproduct of photosynthesis. Etc...

Garden's looking great today!
