Hey everyone.. Sorry for my abscence but i been flat out with alot of stuff over the ladt few months..
And i have to tell you all... I failed miserably to reach 1.5 pound, i ended up with only 13 oz
The bud lookedd great but it must be strain or by my shity growing medium n over fertiliser. The buds shrank to hollow dry crud, great smoke and got alot of fluffy buds that are big but light, im fairly certain its from the smoke i got ages ago, it was same look.
However i can give you good news!! I have a new girl - Myley, cos she s bent over showing her inner fibres
She looks very good so far, lush green and has set out her opposing branch already so she s forming her base very nicely.. Ive learned from my mistakes too - I will no longer be aiming for over 6ft height, ill prob flip her now around 3ft, spret)ad her out,trim her up and then let her do her thing, i needed to act a little less aggressively.and remove branches too that wont produce much,and allow all dominant branches to floyrish with more room. Ive made a nice soil medium now, as last rootball was so tight i struggled to break through it with my spade! Too many nutes, im using my old seaweed juice, and only goin eqsy on. Vita Blue. My soil noe is about. 60% Humus soil, it was a fresh batch from nursery and was really holding moisture, next was about 15% Perlite and finally some food grade potting mix . I added a nice mix of Dolomite Cal/ mag, some gypsum, and slow release ferts. So it is important i DO NOT over feed, and also maintaining proper lamp height with the 600w as i keep getting some burning. I may stick with my new 400 w all thru flower this time, nott certain yet,will depend on how i train her. Nhow she respobds. Temps are an issue now as outide temps reach 35"*C, 43*C in g,room.. A mate who s plant i showed while ago wanted to try indoor , he let her go to 4.5f in a tiny 15. L pot ( half my size ) now has her into flower for near a month under a 600w Dual Spec so wil be interested in results of this, she has one huge top bunch of cola s forming., its hrown normal shape like pine tree, a dodgy DIY setup for now but its working, he s so ruff with her too ripping fans off left n right n branches. But still it lives! He may get 10 oz if rootbinding dont interrupt and ive diagnosed a Potass defic and he just gunna leave it,all leaves starting to show big spread?? Fingers crossed for him, he doing ok for his first crack at it..
I was even more shocked when he pulled out his container of bud from lsst plant he did, nearly a year now and he got bout 2 oz left, ive gone. Thru nearly 2 lb s!! Wtf.. Thats bad ay!! Oh and just prior to last pull, i had no smoko but i had to go thru sum stuff i aint in awhile and holy shit - What did i find??? A packed sealed tub of my good old Lucy grow
It was magic as , curing tor 6+ months was great high, i toked half of it and stashed the rest again. For a rainy day!
I hope the sheer size of my buds,not their weight. ( it fluffs up once chopped ) so i not using as much weight wide, its beyter than nothing and i still have all thrbranches from harvest that have all smaller buds on, was gunna make oil but. Not sure on how to safely. But anyway i got sum crud to toke if i run out prior to Myley s maturing.. Will be back with a new journal and back to chatting with all you guyss agsin.. Take cate and Happy Harvesting, oh, and Christmas..lol..
Hope you guys drop by again. Catch ya, Smokemupm8
