Hi @KeithLemon!

Strain ‘o the Day
Seritotica
Serious Seeds
IMG_5630.jpeg

Growers Notes:

These are always pop, always a bit slow and don’t like too much water early. This crop are all clones from our last harvest which need minimal care. Two phenos the rarer purple one looks nicer and allegedly is more potent. I’ve had my own, my friends Greenhouse and another’s indoor. All about 20-21% (we all tested) small buds and relatively low yield. We had 7/8 purple phenos and all our clones are purple. Doesn’t want too much of anything and is a little bit sensitive. A couple have a bit of burn like this one - no other strain reacted so badly to the excess the other day.

Strain Notes:

Mimosa x Cookies. Bred by OG Breeder Simon. Can harvest at 37 days for more sativa or 53 days for Indica dominant. Its meant to be 25-28% so think there is more on the table and less is more with the fert. Maybe the last run of it for a while. Very balanced hybrid and a lively warm start to the evening. Previously referred to as Indy.

I love the purple color.

Either I have genius plant doctoring skills or I replaced the plant left middle. & Co reckons she’s a Kali Mist. Looks like a Seriotica to me because purple. But we had one weird purple pheno Kali last time out which we bickered over for weeks. So redux I guess. Also why did she not label 🤦🏻‍♂️

Generally all looking lush. The right side of the room is twice the height the left, but I’m hoping they’re due a stretch.

The plant by the way was dead - just an airpot full of water so tossed it like so many chattel…

All my cookie cuts needed some extra Ca/Mg to be happy. What nutrient line are you running Nick? All my Serious strains have all been pretty light feeders. But that's pretty standard practice growing Cannabis! I would check pH on your runoff, it's probably on the lower side.

Cheers!

Its all good, as you say its that cookies thing, we put calmag through every single time though. That little burn I just used to illustrate their sensitive nature.

It was a known risk - when you’re setup to water 21 plants across different strains its harder to give them individual care - I need some little valves on each collar but mad expensive - its weird (for round here) 3mm fittings. She’s still a bit dark too, just a shade or two past lush into darkened.

We run Dutch Pro. Grow/Bloom, Total, Root Boost, Keep It Clean and Bloom Explode. They’re all I can get at volume reliably and as all I’ve known perfectly happy with it. The Cal Mag we use is white label of Advanced Nutrients I think. Cheap here 20L is like €80

Have a couple of things used occasionally, a home garden seaweed etc. additive and added a little of some power silica @Jon recommended. Costs more than Frankincense here!

Last time ai checked run off on the previous grows it was 4.5 from 5.8 in. Plants all fine - how low is low and what are the implications 😅

Nice! Have you looked in to some concrete sealer? That's what I've been using the last 10 years. The local brand we got is about 36% Potassium Silicate in solution. I dilute it 1:3 and it comes out about the same as Pro-Tekt from Dyna Gro. Be careful not getting Sodium silicate though!
 
You mean the sealer for bloom?! - Edit duuh I getcha!



The sodium silicate yeah, made one tank with it at 0.3ml/L they’re like trees now. Its OK - we’re very much concentrated on growing up rather than out but its powerful stuff!

I mesn mono silicate from Grow Genius. 100ml is $50 is the US and I paid $70!
 
This is rhe mono silicate I bought on Jon’s recommendation. After 24 hours changes were noticeable to the eye. Bought mostly for the outdoor grow where ai want to train out horizontally as much as possible. Its also good as a foliar for mould and stuff.

Mono-silicic - Grow-Genius

Shed uses monosilicic acid too. It costs more than frankincense here too. Builds beautiful plants though.

Edit... it's not available here so we have to import

Concrete sealer is the way to go @Wastei has some good tips - its used for so many applications non growing that maybe you can find a product meant for
something else. The stuff I got is 40% - 10% and below is more common and better for less plants. The minimum I ever really mix is 100 litres - its that or 200L in the other tank. That’s easy enough 3ml or 6ml with a syringe. But 0.3ml for 10L is gonna be a pain!

It gets the branches, well just like tree branches. Becomes much harder to manipulate them after.

Concrete sealer, as in a construction product?
 
I'm trying to find out. The trouble with shipping to SA is the cost in Rands, due to exchange rates and travelling distance. Products tend to cost an arm and a leg. I keep putting pressure on local stores to find stock to import.
 
One thing to keep in mind is that potassium silicate will raise the potassium level in your soil. That can be good or bad depending on what your plant needs. It also isn't organic for those who are sticking to a pure organic grow.

Monosilicic acid (MSA) doesn't contain any nutrients. But as you mentioned...arm and a leg!
Like that - you cleared the fog from my understanding. The KSI and the MSA gotcha. I guess during early flower you might not mind that extra K and go about supporting the weight of the buds same time?

My outdoor organic is over. Just outdoor mow 😅

Thanks Shed - Wastei missed a tiny bit of background (not his fault - I shoulda thought some more)
