FEEDING AND DEFICIENCY
As previously stated, I filled 200 liters in the flexi tank yesterday.
I added 300 ml of Canna Flores A and B in the water. That's about 50% of the recommended strength and 25% more than the previous feeding. When it comes to the deficiency I spotted on the White Widow, I'm not really worried. It's only a few leaves. The plant looks healthy in general. It has a little lighter color than the rest of the bunch. Hoping the increased dosages of nutrients can battle whatever deficiencies the White Widow is showing. Take a look at the photos. First of a leaf with deficiency and then a healthy part of the plant.
Deficiency? There is only a very few leaves on the plant looking like this. The rest are looking perfect
How the rest of the plant is looking. The new growth seems to be fine. What do you think?
Since last update, one of the Mars Pro II 320's broke down. Luckily I have 3 of them, so I just took it down and replaced it with a working one. Really important to have spare parts if you want to be secured a safe passage to harvest. So I finally got to test out the Mars-Hydro customer service. Truth be told, I was quite sceptical as I've been told numerous horror stories. But I'll give you a spoiler - We figured it out and the spare part is already on it's way to me. Expected delivery early next week. I wrote a review of the entire procedure exactly like it happened - I can reveal right away that the conclusion is that I was very pleased. -
You can read the entire review here.
Besides from all of this going on, the plants are developing as expected. Seeing I am having ok temps, but humidity is above what I can tolerate, so a little defoil is mandatory. This really helps lowering the humidity in a grow-room without having to use a de-humidifier.
Some say it also gives you more buds, but I am not 100% sure about that. What it does is to bring more light to buds being covered in darkness and that's always good. If that's what they mean with gives you more buds, then they're absolutely right. But does it give an overall higher yield? My data from previous round indicate it doesn't really increase yield. Scrog however - that increases yield considerably. As you can see, there is plenty of leaves so no worries there. I will just keep removing leaves until humidity reach an acceptable level.
Now let's have a look at the plants:
First out is White Widow. Starting to build up some buds eventually. Not much to brag about yet, but patience my dear friends, patience..
White Widow - Days flowering - 24
White Widow - 24 days into flowering

Bubbleicious - 24 days into flowering
Love the look of Bubbleicous. Been so curious about this strain. Hoping this will become my new pain-medication. But it's really hard to say until I try it out. All the theoretical datas are in order, High THC/CBD and big indica dominance to numb down the body and mind. Sounds like something out of a dream if you ask me.
Really like how many budspots I see. This grow has potential to give me a great harvest. I can't catch the entire grow with my fancy super-professional canon lense. It's not wide-angle enough. But I'll try to take a photo of the complete grow with the phone a little later. Got it back good as new yesterday. Lovely!
Over and out
