Day 1

This will be the first crop of at least 3 to come of the Strawberry Blue :weed:

These girls are in 4.5 gallon 12" squares. Using amended FFOF soil and I'll be using teas and topdressings as they go....mom had a pretty healthy appetite :mrgreen:

They don't look like much right now...

What did those buds smell like when you were trimming? How sticky were they?

Potency sounds spectacular!

Were the roots looking a little brown on the tips?

Hey Mo :)
The buds smelled fruity but earthy...with just a touch of peach and tequila...but I think that was from all the margaritas I had before getting to work :eyesmoke:

I'm quite thrilled with the potency...as far as my butter and candy go. It starts behind your ears...moves to the top of your head and then spreads throughout your body and the couch grabs hold of you and doesn't wanna let you go...but it will if you ask nicely ;) I can't wait to have a test smoke :bigjoint:

The entire bottom of my container was packed with roots...and the bottom inch or so were brown...everything else looked groovy :mrgreen:
You think that happened from overwatering :???:

I just used a simple recipe I found online that uses jello...no baking or freezing....but lots of stirring on the stove top :mrgreen: It's a lollipop recipe, but I didn't have any molds or sticks so I just poured it onto a baking sheet and when it cooled I busted it up like brittle...

Some of the bottom edges of the pot do not drain well and get hot under the lights. This creates a place for root rot to live. It is why cloth pots on a bed of sand or other well draining medium will produce better rootballs. Canna hates to have wet roots. Unless of course you have lots of air bubbling through :)

I ruined my first hydro by not having enough bubbles and letting the water get too hot. Roots got rot and the leaves started getting weird brown spots. By the time I corrected the situation the Malawi plant was pretty well toast.






Luckily my outdoor skills were much better:





Cheers,
Mo

Makes sense...she was in an 18 gallon storage tub with holes drilled into the bottom for drainage...I always felt like I should have drilled some around the sides but at the bottom to drain where it "curves"

That rainbow effect is very appropriate for that pic :clap: Amazing!!!
