The Gee Spot - You Finally Found It

Here’s a fun question: Is this a hermaphrodite? This a an Apple Fritter Auto in week 9 of a 10 week flower…

The calyx on the right looks female, but the one on the lefy looks like it has something odd coming from the bottom, unless thats just something in the background. You can always pluck the calyx off and have a closer look.

I think it’s in the background. They’re at every node. Here’s a few

Miss Sticky - Day 2 of Flower.
20240923_171434.jpg

She's really filling the tent. She's so lanky. I may let her have the whole thing and just cut some LC clones for next grow. It would be hard to wedge more plants in here with her. She reminds me of a Cherry Malawi I grew a few years back that filled the whole tent. I'm excited for this one. She's lankier than my regular Durban Poison, but otherwise looks almost identical. She loves Rev's mix

Day 19.

I still never got them planted. Tomorrow for sure for sure. They still look great but that won't last much longer now.

BK. She's starting to stack and frost up. Too bad she started so late.

The 3 RVDV's are in flower for real now, but only maybe 2 weeks in. They are all worm food for sure. What a weird year. Never seen a year when the plants all flowered a month late.

This one is 7' now from the bottom of the pot.

I’m sure I could do better, but I’m just not crazy about growing them. Photos are much more interesting to me.

Same here, that’s why I’m so lazy about it thus far :)

I'm torn on autos. I really have no desire to grow one but the most beautiful colorful plants I have ever seen have all been autos.

I can relate, but feel like they’re wolves in sheep’s clothing tempting me and must resist on principle:)

🤣 too funny. I think I would be pissy if I spent $15-$20 on a seed and the plant only got 2 feet tall. Most auto's seem to be indicas or indica dominants and I am a sativa fan so there's that too.

Mostly tho I like pheno hunting old landrace genetics, so you need to be able to cut clones for that because how landraces feed is all over the map.

Most are light feeders but some pheno's are real pigs, and those piggy ones are usually the good ones, but very rare, so if you don't have a clone you can easily grow them wrong on the 1st grow then miss out.

With auto's it's a one and done thing so if you get a stellar pheno it's gone. I like to grow each pheno 2 or 3 times to find it's potential. Can't do that with auto's.

They do come in some very pretty varieties tho. I was going to grow them for patio show pieces and worm farm food this year but didn't have the time or space to mix up that much soil.

One day.

Hows your outdoor grow coming Bud? It must be getting deep into flower now. How much longer until harvest do you figure?

I made up a new mix for the next round and incorporated some lessons learned along the way and I thought I'd highlight some of the nuances here rather than in my thread. It's a bit of a 'Coots meets The Rev' blend.

Gee encouraged me to run my mix and The Rev's through a spreadsheet to help dial it in since that mix produces consistently high brix level so that's what I did. I had to make some assumptions since many of my amendments are non-standard but I was able to find NPK levels for most things. The one I wasn't able to find was levels for flowers so I plugged 0-6-2 for that input. I have no idea what it actually is but mid to high single digits seems typical for organic inputs (malted barley 5-1-1, Comfrey 1.8-0.5-7.1, Nettle 2-0-5, etc) so I figured there probably wasn't much if any N, and likely more P than K...

In any event that's what I used. Compared to The Rev's, my mix has 38.9% of the N, 105.4% of the P, 101.7% of the K, and 273% of the Ca.

So, quite a bit lower in N but I'm not all that worried about it since my plants typically don't display N deficiency symptoms and I add castings to my mix plus a small topdressing weekly. I'm right on in both P and K so those seem like a good levels to start at, and that leaves calcium.

For the mineral piece I mostly copied his levels so the lime, oyster shell and gypsum levels should be pretty much equal, but the main difference is that nettle is super high in calcium (2-0-5-11.5) so if I burn my plants that may be the obvious reason to explore.

I'm thinking that, since the nettle calcium is a meal, it should break down sooner than the others that are minerals so hopefully they won't be additive to each other but I guess we'll see.

Rev gets most of his K from alfalfa, kelp and the organic fertlizer he adds, vs mine coming mostly from the comfrey, nettle and flowers so that should be a fairly even trade.

And a half dozen worms to provide ongoing aeration and unicorn poop.

Let the games begin!

Azi when is this mix scheduled for potting? or is it in use already?
 
Morning Gee, you're up earlier than usual🌄.

Have a stellar day ev1!

Ah kids are wonderful!
It's Heritage Day here Gee man, so we had a holiday weekend. We all celebrate our heritage and for the majority of South Africans, that manifests in various forms of braai / shisanyama! We have 12 official languages including Sign Language, and the one thing that appears to hold us together as a nation is the "braai" (the other is sport)! I am heading off to a local pub called The Thirsty Oyster to get some braai meat and join my yoga teacher and another classmate for a beer.

That sounds awesome Carmen. I love multi-cultural events. It brings out everyones bests. Food, drink, costume, entertainment, and Elders. The more exposure we all get towards each others culture and heritage, the more the love and understanding can be spread.

Have a most excellent day!😊👊
