UPDATE
- Critical: Taken her sweet time to finish. But the smell is developing and is like guava/passionfruit soda, lots of trichs too. This plant stayed VERY short compared to any other 12/12 I've done so I could recommend it for people with space limitation. The company do say it stays short and it really does lol
Durban Poison: I think she will prob be finished in 2 weeks or so. Nice amount of trichs. Smell is like lemon scented bleach. Her N deficiency seems to have stalled, so good news por moi
Kabrales: took a while to get into flowering gear, but she is packing on trichs at an alarming rate, Its noticeable by the day. Smell is just kinda musky....the breeders say she will smell like "various nuts and spices" lol so I dunno why they call it cheese. Should be "bombay mix". At the moment though, It just smells like a hashy smell but I think I can recognize the spicy element to it already
Pakistan Ryder: Because these were for seed breeding, I put her on 12/12, so I don't know if she was autoflowering. All I know is she has taken her time in gearing to full flower, but I think shes gonna start putting some weight on now. Shes been flowering for a few weeks now but THC is only just starting to show over the leaves nearest the buds. Smells fresh, light and skunky but that ain't a bad thing (the SCS is also in the pic on the right)
Supersonic crystal storm: Definitely got the autoflower genetics in her! I still have no idea whether the autoxtreme female pollen actually worked on her. Smells really intense like vanilla/wood/fruit and covered in trichs. Should cure up lovely. Will be a very low yeilder but im not too fussed, the main thing will be seeds so I just hope she provides
So yeah my feeding regime has changed quite a bit. Because of the problems I had with nute lock-out due to overfeeding the organic liquid feeds, I had to flush and so I needed to give some readily available nutes. SO im now feeding:
Veg feed: ~50% humbolt organic grow natural (2ml/gal i.e. 2/5 strength) + ~50% baby bio organic high nitrogen feed (1 cap/gal i.e. 1/3 strength)
Bloom feed: ~50% huboldt BLOOM natural (2.5ml/gal i.e. 1/2 strength) + and ~30% dutch pro A+B autoflower nutes (3ml/gal i.e. 1/3 strength) + ~20% PK13/14 (1ml/gal i.e. very weak)
For pH adjusting i'm still using lemon juice (and recently...apple cider vinegar...) to lower, and humbolt structural integrity to raise pH
I think I could have obviously done better with my grow but its still learning. I think next time I will use the coco choir medium in smart pots, and I will try the Humboldt organics again in this new medium
