Thank you Alex and Smokemupm8,
I didn't weigh anything except a couple of buds every now and again, Weight varies depending on how dry it is,
we've been partaking of the large mazar since 4/20. I know we've been stealing from ourselves to a certain extent,
but this is a continuous grow, so the measure of success lies in not running out, rather than how much I have at one time
I have enjoyed the changing qualities of the smoke, I let it hang too long in the cupboard, picking buds as it dried.
I put a large fan leaf from the Dieseltonic-mum into each jar for one night and bada bing bada boom, it cured!
Well, it's curing. Yesterday it tasted like Juicy Fruit! The effect is stronger as well. Gets better every day
These are from last year in the PMMA greenhouse:
Our autumns are too short here and "summer" does not even reach september.
I have read the Ed Rosenthal Bible, but a book by Seemore Buds really inspired me for this grow.
In that book, he grows a mango strain from seed alongside 2 clones under 2700K 58 watt Cfls
and takes a photo every day, along with some info and stories...
He flipped to 12/12 after 14 days! He harvested in 69 days from seed and had quite the bumper harvest!
I didn't follow his technique and as a standalone book it's not so detailed, but what an inspiration
I talked a lot to the owner of the growshop in town. Used my own nutes, but bought soil, big Cfls and pots.
Also, "Bloomtastic" for flowering. He now has "Green Planet" canadian nutes and he uses them himself.
I've been reading up on them, because I am sceptical of expensive products in general
apparently they are as good as advanced nutrients, but cheaper and targeted at medicinal growers.
Over a few weeks I bought the Aussie Tonic and they liked it.
Then I got the Finisher for the last two weeks of half mazar bloom.
This tightens the buds and gets used by the plant immediately. so there is no need to flush it.
Then I got Massive Bloom, which has honey in it. Half mazar only got one or two gulps at the start,
but "little" twin is on it fully. This Bud-weight issue is new for her. She's leaning against the walls!
Because of the growth-stunting in the first few days through heat-scorching (trichomes on the first leaves!)
She always had a lot of tightly spaced flowering nodes but no bulk.
Now she's shooting out in every direction, 'tis a wonder to behold. I will need sticks
I would recommend Automazar to anyone, very strong indica genes and handles my high temps well.
I only have an oscillating tower fan, so I get a lot of heat. I water a lot. autos don't like to dry out much.
The aerosmartpots are perfect for root aeration and almost impossible to overwater
Drying out is the danger, as can be seen on little twins fan leaves (what fan leaves?)
they all turned brown after the pot dried out too much for a few hours!
I'm getting medi-one from green planet for the dieseltonic clones. It's all-in-one organic for veg and bloom.
"Dr. Hornby" approves it and he likes THC and CBD, so for quality medicinal weed that's all I should need.
With added bloom and finisher for flowering.
Thanks for commenting with your kind words and a good weed to you both
Rico.
