Darkzero grow season

[darkzero2]

Nothing much going on today checked to see if needed water but didnt. Here's pics o yeah remember the plant I evicted that had hairs then balls, now it's just full on balls seems the force is strong in this one no hairs present but he does have a bit of magneta showing instead of purple and survived rain lower 30's and upper 20's. He is last 2 pics.

Last day of week 3 . Fed 6.5 water w/sugaree 0-0-2, top dressing of madagascan guano 0-13-0 also compost used in making tea 2 weeks ago (let rain water hit it and compost for that time tea was composed of kelp extract , molasses, compost, azomite, Sugaree, and hpk 0-5-4. Picture 1 - SGKM F2 back left, DD x SGKM f1 opposite ,SGKM F2 in front. Second pic - DDx SGKM. 3rd pic - SGKM F2 back left. 4th pic- DD x SGKM front left. 5th pic SGKM Front. The last pic is of the same DD X SGKM in pic 2 . Wanted to side view and better view of actual plant.

Watered today with just water sugaree and a little kelp starting to get humid in the tent (wanted to guard against heat stress considering starting to get warm in there but not hot) and trichomes are starting to build. The DD x SGKM and SGKM F2 in the back are gonna be the frostiest of these plants.

 

[darkzero2]

gonna brew a tea for week 5 composed of 2tbs molasses, 1 cap grow more kelp extract 0.10-0-0.44, 2 cups compost from worm bin, 2 tbs madagascan 0-13-0, 1/2 tsp ful humix, 5ml HPK 0-4-3, 2tbs micronized azomite, 50ml sugaree, 1 cap epsom salt (magnesium sulfate).

Fed last of tea midweek 5.

 

[darkzero2]

First pic is SGKM F2 bud forming (looks like phosp deficiency on leaves sort of) any ways last week of feeding before I do just water and sugar in week 7 the second pic is shot of the DD x SGKM foring bud these are end of week 5. anyways got water at 6.5 w/ roots organic hpk and sugaree in it for week 6 feed. week 6 starts tomorrow. Ps- The three leaf is a genetic trait of one pheno of the SGKM (specifically in F1 the pheno is medium hight one cola leaves turn dark purple to black and starts trichome deveopment faster than the other phenos has aroma of earth and hash, this f2 is a combination of that pheno and a medium to tall pheno with light green lime leaves and smells like strawberry starburst, also has nice resin production)

updates

1st pic- SGKM F2 in back , 2nd DD x SGKM in front, 3rd SGKM in back from pic 1 and 4th is SGKM in front, dont have a pic of dd x sgkm in back mid week 6 Sunday is week 7 and start of regular water/sugaree regiment

 

[darkzero2]

Finally figure out what was wrong with the leafs ph dropped to 6 in one pot the other stays around 6.5-6.7 range and another 6.5 gonna flush again then feed some cal mag. Crazy never ran into this before but I guess first for everything anyways they are frosting up nicely and getting denser by the day. Ps- Forgot that I last watered last wendsday/thursday and thought I watered over the weekend but forgot anyway these are from yesterday see what I mean yellowed then the cal mag deficiency showed up. Notice how the one in the corner isn't showing any signs like the others and has been fed the same

Tomorrow week 8

 

[darkzero2]

Nearing middle of week 9 but waiting till week 10-11 to see what trichomes do. They are crystal clear to cloudy atm and she is not yet done still packing on the weight. The last 2 weeks nothing but water and sugaree, will keep the regime going until end of week 11

 

[greencropper]

Watered and fed yesterday for week 1 Sumatran bat guano 8-3-1 and madagascan guano 0-13-0 with 1-0-0 calimagic in spring water. Got a bit of some nitro deficiency going on hmm. That bushy one on top left isnt doing anything not flowering or nothing might evict em give em another week. Other than that starting to stretch

those compost teas can be great if just the right mix is found...deadly if a bit too potent! i used to experiment a lot with different combinations of organic nutes etc in my inground soil grows, but recently having moved from soil type mediums to coco/perlite have found theres hardly room for error in experimentation with major toxic problems occurring, so just sticking to a very basic proven nute regimen for coco now, the buffer found in soil type mixes just doesnt exist in coco

I grow in a

looking good there, what is the medium your growing in?

combination of peat, coir brick, supersoil mix that has been recycled since 2015

Yeah I noticed that about coco they have some nice yields too. Yeah I tried in ground last yr and it bushed out well just when I fed considering got clay soil, even though I had supersoil in there I believe doing them in 15 gallon fabric I can do better than in ground (better control)

Definitely agree about the teas sometimes especially with organic less is more . I can honestly say this flowering tea went well , but all in all of the 3 flowering teas I have made this one is better on bud development, size. The others had better trichomes and taste but get back to u on taste when done with this. Trying to break 30-45 grams a plant on these f2's considering first time growing this generation. Anyways always room for improvement

sounds like you are getting the results you like, i would be all organic but a very stubborn disease syndrome here has forced me into growing with coco, impossible to go organic here and the coco seems resistant to the type of fungal disease present in this area

week 10
these are pics of both phenos of the sgkm and their respective bud getting chunkier by the day

 

[Tito#1]

How much longer do u think they will go?

How much longer do u think they will go?

Hopefully next week is the last. I had it set in my mind 11 weeks from the start but these girls just keep swelling

 

[darkzero2]

Ended up chopping after 25 hrs of darkness was rdy and from what I read about strains with chem d in it the hairs are almost never reddish orange but like to stay white. Anyways in 2 1/2 hrs it was week 11 anyways but I will say with the sgkm I pretty much hit my goal and some. The first pic is the biggest SGKM the one that was thru the net the buds were so heavy when I took the plant out from net and tent that the entire stem started bending and had a ganster lean lol. the second one was a tad saller but bushier and I believe the buds are more dense. The last pic is the Digital Dream x SGKM small not a huge yielder on this pheno but hopefully it has some tasty blueberry candyish smoke with a hint of sour lemon at the end. Will post smoke report after dry and cure in few weeks
