The Gee Spot - You Finally Found It

[Gee64]

Thought exercise, what's everyone's opinion on when a seedling turns to vegetative growth? My thought was when the plant kinda starts to take off in growth around the 4th or 5th node but hell, thats just a wild assumption. Asking because feed charts vary and arent very clear.

I would tend to agree. Right about there it can handle a full watering too.

Myself I consider veg as Day 1 above ground until the last day of stretch.

Now this makes a lot of sense to me

I don't know how that matches to a feeding schedule though, I usually just let the soil feed. What does GeoFlora recommend?

 

[Gidorah]

Geoflora recommends first feed at transplant, then every 2 weeks thereafter which begs the question, how big at transplant?

Quick update on the little ladies. Both Eleven Roses and an Acapulco Gold are doing great. The plant in the 3 gallon cloth pot is another Eleven Roses that i excitedly planted to early while waiting for my harvest to dry out in the tent so it lived a tortured life outside.

 

[Gee64]

Hey 4 plants each now. Nice! She doesn't look too tortured. How old is she?

Probably close to a month old. Was incredibly lanky, i buried about 6 inches of stem from lack of light when i up potted. Shes greening up nicely now with tight node spacing, should pull thru.

Three 11 Roses, your end haul should be quite large . I found Rose Kush to be a great producer of nice nugs.

Durban Poison - Day 32 of Flower.

Top dressing is done. In a couple days they will get more fish water.

The LC-18, Iklwa, RVDV, and Wild Lady sprouts are all looking fine, stretching up, thickening trunks, and growing their 1st blades.

 

[Gee64]

Getting shaggy.

Day 5 update, plants are doing great. Hope everyone has a glorious weekend.

 

[Gee64]

Looking Good @Gidorah! The older one up front, has it been in that pot for long or is it a fresh uppotting?

RVDV - Day 3 of Veg.

Iklwa - Day 3 of Veg.

LC-18 - Day 3 of Veg.

Wild Lady - Day 3 of Veg.

Wild Lady looks like a possible leaner pheno. They yield really well on manifolding.

Thats the one that was abused and uppotted on Nov 5 so five days ago.

It fills my heart with joy to see you growing my chom's genetics all the way from SA. I feel all sentimental. Leaner pheno, tell us more?

Those are looking good. I just ordered 3 each of the Wild Lady and Iklwa from Table Mountain yesterday so i willbe keenly watching your grow. Thinking about growing them outside when spring rolls around

Durban Poison - Day 33 of Flower.

Family Photo.

32 tops on 8 beautiful African Gals.

Gee thinking out loud:

The pots are all ready for another 10 days, hopefully they can hold up. Pretty soon I will go to hand watering and get off drippers. There is a lot of fertility in my top 2 inches of soil that needs to be massaged down and in. This is when calcium and magnesium can become lil' bitches.

Theres a lot of it in the multiple topdressings that the drippers wont push down as well as a careful gentle hand watering. As soon as they dry a bit they get a gentle and perfectly adequate top watering. Likely about 2 litres a day each.

Taking control back from the auto-water forces me to pay better attention and right now my main goal is to keep the soil in a state that if a problem arises, I can correct it quickly.

Normally you see yellowing down bottom or whatever, so you react, but its organics so it could take 10 days to see a real improvement. By keeping calcium and magnesium moving properly with hand watering, a deficiency needs to go through about 6 nodes of fan leaves, so 12 fans, before it gets into the colas.

By hand watering and keeping everything in check, I can cut that 10 day turnaround into 5, and 10-12 leaves per cola can buffer that.

If I am dilligent, I actually still have enough fans to get me through 2 deficiencies, as long as none are phosphorus.

Hope I make it.

Perfect! So any day now it should start to go

Some pheno's tend to lean, almost slouch. I have one in the tent right now. I will grab pic's later

Table Mountain comped me some Malawi and another unworked Durban-ish strain that I will grow outdoors next year, hopefully with a male in the mix. A Durbanish male preferrably.
