Day 22 Flower today..

Fed with: /gal

35mL Big Bloom
25mL Tiger Bloom
12mL Cal/Mag
4mL Thrive Alive
5mL Bio-Weed (kelp)


They are seriously loaded on N, I don't think that blend is super rich in N so I think we should be good... I will wait 5 days and water them with plain h2o sometime sunday.. To let them dry out real nice. I feel like every 4 days is ever so slightly too much, and I want to be careful with that.

After Day 23 flower.. lights off

Green :shock: I think we can tone that down a little :lol:

Bud sites and resin is coming along just lovely.. I'm not using any 'resin' boosters this go, just letting it do it's natural cannabis thing with as much organic food as possible. Let it produce as much resin as it feels comfortable. :hump:


Do you guys notice how #2 is flowering shorter than #1? Do you folks have any suggestions for risers under the pots? I need to put something underneath that wont get nasty with the water and nutes running onto it. If I could move the plant on the right up 2 inches the whole canopy would be perfect.

Yeah I have that same prob with the SK. It will not stop eating N...meanwhile a couple of my other strains won't eat N to save their lives lol

Patio bricks would work. old box of tile maybe. flat stone, idk be creative lol

Yeah I've been keeping the N really high, and they've been loving it so far... but I pushed it just a little too much an got some N claw on a lot of leaves on #1... #2 is fine though :lol:.. So I figured I didn't over-do it too seriously..

Just going to feed tiger bloom, and big bloom with algae and calmag until that dark sickly green tones down a bit.. They will have some straight water this week too, so hopefully it can use more nutes in the soil then.

Patio bricks sounds nice... Maybe I will go pick up a few really flat ones to stack at home depot ... thanks :)

Sr. Verde, During your grow back in spring of 2011, you were trying to boost your N during flower. What did you end up using to get your plants greener, and how did the grow turn out? Thanks in advance, -Stufish-

just the 'grow' solution that usually had a higher N value

Just read the N-P-K on the front of the bottle ;)

Also understand that every strain is different. SK has very dark leaves, most of the sour diesels do. They just love to pull the N up. Some of my other strains like PPP or my Blackwater refuse to eat very much N almost to the point of deficiency on the same exact feed. This is why running multiple strains can be more challenging, each is unique.

I prefer your Pheno#2.
Presuming my two seedlings are in fact headband, my first seedling reminds me of your #2.
Maybe I'll rename them for confusions sake.

I would use Terracotta, but that's justme.

Here we are @ day 26...

5 days since last watering,, I usually water every 4 but haven't gotten to it... They'll get watered tomorrow.. They look pretty fine to me :).

Honestly the ladies haven't looked too keen in the last 2 weeks... Slightly clawed, and barely showing signs of being over fertilized (I personally think that's healthy though, only way to find the limits of the strain & then back off accordingly :-P).. I'm watering with plain water tomorrow anyway, and feeding very lightly the next round of fertilizer.. So I believe they should be back to their perky happy selves before day 30 :).



the colas aren't very large yet, but wow at the resin production so far..

27..

Fed with /gal h2o

10mL CalMag


[youtube]YdPml5QhMIA[/youtube]

Photos taken about 3 hours after watering... Surprisingly enough a lot of the N claw on #1 is flattening out within a few hours of the watering.. Hopefully #1 will be relieved of the N claw completely in a day or two :). Yay. #2 has been looking great throughout this all, except she was a little wilted yesterday. Shes back stretching into the light. I also raised #2 onto bricks.. Found some at the store :-o.. The canopy is reasonably even now..


/\ cute little cola off #2..... fun fact: yesterday i learned that cola is spanish for tail... and sin semilia is spanish for without seeds.. commonly compounded together into sinsemillia.. neat! makes sense.

Day 30 today

My buds are starting to chunk out... Calyx on top of calyx style... @ upthearsenal When am I supposed to see some serious growth in flower weight? Day 45?


Also, my girls are still full of N.. I don't want to add TOO much more N... Tiger Bloom is 2-8-4... You guys think I could get away with a full feeding on that with some slight N claw... Or should I bump the tiger bloom down to half for now? I'm not trying to burn my ladies..

Maybe do every other feeding with the tiger bloom and then use a 'bloom boost' product the other feeding. Something like 0-13-14 would be good. I can just tell you from experience you will need to really cut the N out, they are N whores lol As for fat budding, I run hydro & co2 so it maybe a bit quicker, but I had decent bud masses bulking around day 35-40 of flower.

I can only hope you take this the right way;
Humans like to use days and years and weeks and count in fives and tens,
but nature just doesn't work so black and white.
It's not necessarily about how much time in between waterings,
but how much moisture is in the medium, and how much oxygen/drainage available.
But it could be Nitrogen, totally correct,
and we can tell your plants are NOT lacking Nitrogen.
