Spart's Cream Caramel - Mars II 400W - BioBizz Loving Run

[Pat999]

I would also still like to try the whole auto in the future, hoping Jacob Zuma gets to legalizing the herb here in South Africa. Shouldn't be a problem then getting some nice seeds. As for now sticking to what I have is the only option

So little photo/nutrient update time got lots to do to day and lots of running around so took some pics this morning before lights went out.
Nutrients for the next week will be:
1ml/l grow
3ml/l Bloom
3m/l TopMax
2ml/l Bio Heaven
2ml/l Alg-a-mic

Not much to report in the tent buds have begun to properly fatten up might try some back budding next week so we shall see on the biggest one. I've asked sweet seeds what their recommendation is on the ending weeks on this strain, so I'll keep ya updated on what they say.
Pics of the tent:

Lolly popping trimming of under growth:
I think I'm gonna leave the lower nodes/pop corn buds on the topped wonder at the back just to see how they develop plus I can always leave them and harvest in to goes.

Bud porn:
Just to show how well they are frosting/fattening up. These buds are a million times more dense than with the CFL.

Outdoor little ones
Not much to report on these girls. I'm limiting the hours of direct light on them from around 9 in the morning to about 6 in the afternoon basically I've decided not to move them all around and pay as much attention to them just for the fact I think if I can get them to stretch a bit more the yield will actually increase because node spacing will be a bit more, Allowing more light to penetrate the budding sites. They are getting just 2ml/l root juice and about 100ml of water/root stimulant per day.
I've named her spiny

Not sure on the name yet

**Side note: I've started another thread for shits and giggles, focusing on our Mars lights and how they preform and so on. Photos are welcome as well as opinions and experiences. (Link in my signature)
All are to check it out tag alone why not right.

[VladimirPutin]

Yup, nice top cola formation mr spart

 

[420Amard]

Yeah thanks guys one thing to note is yesterday I didn't have to water the first time this whole grow so tonight I'm gonna be giving 250ml each instead of the normal 500ml I think it might be the moon is messing with them. Great time to germinate seeds with the lunar cycle though

 

[Smeagol]

Looking good in here spart. That LED is pumping out the buds.

 

[420Amard]

Yeah got a few more weeks to go still they are fattening up nicely now. I am going to be lowering the nutes a big to start to taper them off for the final flushing. Im thinking it'll work to improve taste.
to the forum and if you're interested in the light remember tell em spart sent you

Looking really good over there Spart!
Looking forward to more bud porn like this!

Interested in the back budding so please share pictures if/when you do.

Passing through my friend. Girls are fattening up well.

Ok so noticed a few things about my one bigger taller girl she seem to be ripening a lot quicker than the rest she's already showing a few brown pistils. Also I've noticed that she has a few leaves that look as tho they are suffering from a mild calcium issue again.To be honest I'm not worried about her. She is also not drinking as much and her pot has been wet for going on 3 days now. I checked today and the others are ready for another watering. I got to check her out with the microscope and it appears to be mostly cloudy with a few clear even a couple amber. I was planning to cut them all in week 9 of flower but I might have to chop the one at the start of week 8.

Basically right now I'm almost mid week 5 flower, so nutrients for the rest of this week and next week and flush week 7, chop week 8 (on the tall one). The rest seem to be going slower and might go to mid week 9.


All and all I'm happy with this grow. Not sure if I'm gonna do a journal on the next one or just keep people updated in the other thread. I might make this journal complete after the tent is done as my Blue amnesia xxl is going to be nothing special and will take another almost 70 days to finish.

Hope everyone's week is starting off great and any questions as always fire away.

Picture of the Cal/mag issue:
I actually am starting to think the Alg-a-mic starts to degrade as it becomes oxygenated and turns brown....

 

[thebeast27]

I get those rusty spots on the leafs if i over do it with calmag mate.ur on it so ur ladies will be fine.good work

 

[420Amard]

what I think is going on is that I've got to much calcium so it's blocking out the magnesium what I'm gonna do is cut out the Alg-A-Mic for a few days and see if it improves. I'm really not worried about it actually I'm not really worried about most of the things that happen to my plant probably why they always make it to harvest. I find the people who stress out and try to correct everything and control everything always fuck everything up so I let them do there thing and just try to take it easy on it.
This my advice for any grower out there just take it easy.
I do not pH my feed/water.
I do not test for e.c.
I do not stress over marks/pests/burns. (seen a few thrip marks on them)
I do not worry about most things.
I get good harvests every time that I'm happy with.
Pick a good soil and all will be forgiven.

Yea, it's better to stress out in veg.

I'm still tweaking a nutrient profile before 12/12.

Also I am at war with some tiny root dwelling soft-bodied insects which I think I am winning so far...
They came from some plants I brought from another person's grow op.

Spraying daily my chili pepper and soap spray because it's cheap and quite effective without harming the biology of the plant.

Not to mention the seeds are not feminized so periodically I have to throw out whole plants

Oh well, it's part of the learning process to being a great ganja grower I guess

Your Plants still look nice though man
