Happy New Year my friends, God bless always ...
Well, I have started my 8th week in flower. And on Jan. 1, 2014 ... I started the year off with a soil flush, and it was pretty nasty in color
So, that's good to go for a few weeks, The PH on the run off was 5.0...and the PPM was 1450ish. I flushed the 6 gallon container with 12 gallons pure water, and on the last 2 gallons I PH'd the water, and the last gallon of food mixed for my lil' girl, was PH'd of course, but the PPM's was at 700, very light feeding. The plant really took to being flushed the sugar coating came back in a big way.
I have noticed some stems and branches were more purple than I ever noticed before... Maybe because of me handling her quite a bit because of having to man handle her to tie her up repeatedly... Just in case that's not the problem, It might be Nitrogen deficiency and the dark green leaves might be some phosphorous issues...at least I got her flushed, and I feed her a gallon of food today. But I bumped her up to a heavy feed at 1700 PPM, I know it's higher than I wanted but I mixed xtra Nitrogen and Phous' and bloom booster as well.
With Sativas you can feed heavy until the tips of the leaves start to burn, then back off that mix, and you are good to go, I am defiantly
going to start growing more indicas, and get proficient with those strains.... But you know!!! what's calling to be grown this 2014....right?
~ You guessed it, ... Liberty Haze ~ lol, here's the latest pics of " Big Puna Pearl "...colas are getting heavy, having to tie her up now. ~
