Crystal gelato starting to purple this is such a unique terp profile unlike anything I've smoked before. Potent a.f.

Great grow man looking forward to a pic of those beauties at week 6 and 7 :clap:

ok this is where my previous organic grows have stalled out

top dressing with gaia power bloom tonight looks like fireplace ashes .Fishbone meal, bone meal, glacial rock dust, mined potassium sulphate, fossilized carbon complex, rock phosphate, greensand, kelp meal, gypsum, bat guano.

Shluby I really suck at writing things down I keep looking at the dates of pictures and this is dec 8 bending and lst

It got flipped dec 14 this is the 17th

and here's flowers dated

dec 24th.

I'm scratching my head here because they look further along. Cookies and the gelato are both 9-10w.
Power bloom It calls for 1tbsp. Per Gallon of soil. I gave 2 heaping tbsp with a good watering 1:1000em except blue cheese week 4 or jan 25th

Last time I used power bloom and went with the living soil i did not do a 2nd application. I really thought the flowers missed that week 5-6 growth . ( Where the salt grower would use a power bloom builder).

Do you think this was a bad move?

The other hps tent is kicking ass all the different flowers so awesome I'll update sooner than later

Church cookies and blue cheese imagine the farts

I cannot believe these call for another 4 weeks minimum

Same with crystal gelato i chopped at 9 weeks and 8 in previous grows 8 was way too early ,

uh yeah i mean they look like they're at 8-9 weeks to me. I don't see a single white hair on most of them. are you checking the trichs with a scope? I think maybe you need to take a lesson from yourself and start writing shit down lol.

I'm assuming you're using gaia power bloom? you gotta remember, when you topdress in organics it likely takes a minimum of 1 week before stuff starts getting delivered to the plant (once whatever is soluble is used up)... and even that seems pretty fast to me. I plan on two weeks before delivery to the plant. so topdressing now would be not good. I go for one 1/2c (per decent sized plant) of topdress around week 2 or 3, so that they have it at week 4-5. mix it all with enough compost to apply a 1" layer and mulch it.

Ya makes sense I felt like there was a little stall there for a few days so I'm sure top dressing at week 2 would solve this. I checked the blue cheese w loupe after finding what I thought was PM but must've been residual d.e. (phew.) Saw maybe 1 amber still quite a few clear ones but buddy swore 7 weeks she's done but I'm seeing another 10- 14 days if it doesn't up and die on me before that.

I started this grow using an app called Jane and then upgraded my phone let's just say pen and paper are best .
Too much reading lately thoughts are everywhere i have to k.i.s.s. i started bobbleheads 160 PG high brix thread at icmag . Some info flew way over my head as they are mostly university grads

I am going to take your recommendation and the other tent will get dressed sooner

you are running 8 cree cxb 3590s at 650 watts? that seems like too high of voltage if you are running 36v's or am I being stupid?

meangreengrowinmachine · Feb 1, 2019

the top dressing at that time I dont think hurts.. just not doing much I think is what @ShLUbY is saying

Ye that's around 2000mamps per cob @81w. It's high for that many cobs. I know because I'm growing under single cxb3590 @2450mamps drawing 88w.

I'm cooling mine with heavy duty server cooler that has a fan on it. Wonder how he cools 8 of them.

This is light on a mover it doesn't move much but 1st grow I added a Mars to cover 4x4.

Its 550w sorry and I need to figure it out b4 summer grow I'm thinking tear it apart and space out the lights better and perhaps add more. I paid less than 800 c.a.d shipped so not a bad purchase but 1st grow came out airy and this one I burnt the tops .
Here I took canopy shots and 1st pic shows how it's only the very top leaf that yellowed I'm assuming from too much light.

blue cheese took light the worse
Gelato liked it tho

waxman420 · Feb 2, 2019

My favorite church cookies

Here's a pic of trics last eve blue cheese bottom hopefully 10-14 days out

GentleCaveman · Feb 2, 2019

I would say its too close to your canopy. Thats a strong light, you can hang it higher for better penetration and less heat.

waxman420 · Feb 2, 2019

This plant was grown in cob tent and then put under the hps and just exploded.

Gps jelly pie
