Well 4 weeks today since popping and they are stretching very nicely indeed. Budding too.

Got a copper deficiency from too much N and using rain water so no copper in the water. But it’s only minor and I’ve had it before and the plant still yielded very well!

Cheers guys!

Nutty sKunK · Oct 16, 2020

Done some more LST on the orange (tying the two tops down) which has shaped a lovely flat canopy with minimal effort. Just what I like!

Blue dream is a spaceship and seems set on making it to the moon. Hopefully that’s the stretch coming to an end for her.

Strawberry is budding really well. A lot smaller than the breeder suggested 100cm is what they said, she is 60cm lol

Sherbet is doing her thing, shown sex and is approaching the stretching period. The growth rate in airpots trumps solid plastic any day!!

Cheers!

Things are coming a long nicely! Blue dream and strawberry are budding away.

Orange sherbet is still in her stretching phase which is nice as the Sherbet is taller than her now!

Starting to get some nice frost for only 12 days budding on the strawberry!

Cheers guys!

Damn, gonna be a nice BD. Hope it resembles the real clone o ly with hazy Sativa.

Yeah dude got a sativa phenotype for sure! Still stretching a little still. Nice thin leaves too. Shes meant for daytime smoking so hopefully has an uplifting effect.

The strawberry is looking like an 8-9 week strain for sure. Right on the breeders time but we shall see.

Now I do yeah. If I was doing photos I’d use a 20l airpot as the life cycle is usually longer than autos.

If you can keep up the watering airpots for final pots are better than solid. It was a combination of ease/practicality that settled me on solid pots.

The tallest one in this pic (sorry for the sideways photo) is blue cheese in a 12.5l airpot. Was a monster and needed watering every second day.

Poking holes with a bbq skewer really helps with them too when they are dry.

Once you use them youll be surprised and the speed of growth!

so its ok to poke the soil with a wooden skewer? i use those to check moisture and i am always gentle afraid of tearing roots i never knew it could be beneficial i am in 5 gallon buckets

Sure it is! You can even hear the roots tear. All
They do is divide and create more so you’re causing no harm whatsoever.

Stab about 10 times every other watering.

Nutty sKunK · Oct 26, 2020

Sherbet is going bananas! I forgot how much more efficient at growing these airpots really are. Think she’ll be the tallest out of the lot.

Buds are progressing nicely and the canopy is evening out too which is nice to see.

Blue dream has a slight N tox. Nothing major but worth noting going forward. Contrary to the Breeders suggestions this phenotype isn’t a heavy feeder. Don’t think anything negative will come of it as it’s early days yet and I’m introducing more bloom feed as it is.

Cheers!

Nutty sKunK · Nov 2, 2020

Going well here. Sherbet has finished her stretch and is now the tallest out of all of them.

Blue dream is a monster and I’m having to add some support to her branches today as she’s bending over with her weight already. Wonderful citrus, blueberry and floral notes from her.

Orange sherbet smells incredible! Just like sour oranges! A bit behind the others in terms of maturity but I knew she was going to go a bit longer.

Strawberry Pie has some awesome trichome coverage and has some big juicy buds. Top bud is almost as thick as a coke can already so happy days. Smells exactly like strawberry sweets.

So far I’m happy with the genetics.

Cheers!

Congrats on some great plants and growing skills. Another nail in the coffin of the "Don't grow auto's cos they're shit" crowd. :hump:

Thanks man! Only my second run using these nutrients so still dialing them in. Helps having very clean water to begin with too.

Yeah I think it’s now getting to the point where some auto genetics are easily rivalling photoperiods. But they just save you a few weeks and the ease of using one tent for both veg/flower.

Nutty sKunK · Nov 10, 2020

Well autumn has hit my tent as well by the looks of things.

pH drifted too low and took me a while to figure it out. My
Feed includes a silicon up until week 3. This is highly alkaline and after I stopped using it my pH crashed! My feed with silicon was around pH 9 and without 5.3 so big drop. No wonder they yellowed so fast.

Flushed the blue dream yesterday and doing the orange tomorrow as she’s still yellowing. Blue dream looks happier today and I don’t blame her as her soil pH was 4.8 lol

Other two are doing great - will keep the silicon going until my pH up arrives.

Cheers guys!

Still looking good. All yellow leaves mean is grow is not at optimal conditions. Not ever that it's bad IMO. When those leaves are all yellow of grungy looking, than I'd say ypu made a boo boo XD fix it fast and you'll still have a really nice looking grow.

Thanks Matt! Yeah the way I see it is that those nutrients have gone to the buds. Also MJ is annual plant so is bound to die,

I like the idea of harvesting green plants but at the end of the day what use are the green leaves 7 days before harvest? Those nutrients will simply go to the final development of the buds.

Also I grow these plants for buds not leaves

Hell yeah. I admire, but also laugh at the guys that want every aspect perfect. It's WEED to be SMOKED or extracted. Who cares about the final look XD

Totally man - in fact the worst thing u can do imo is overfeed your plants. We’ve all done it. Taste like your smoking a firework lol

Nutty sKunK · Nov 10, 2020

Well just discovered something big about my setup.

My water is running a ratio of 8:1 iron to manganese. This is why I’ve been having issues with the orange as too much iron blocks out manganese.

This yellowing was stumping me for a bit. Hopefully can fix these issues tomorrow before it consumes too many leaves.

Tiflis · Nov 11, 2020

You've been doing great diagnosing and addressing the issues that come up. :clap:

Looks like it's gonna be a good harvest.
My plants were much worse looking, but still got over a quarter pound I think, still drying some of it

Thanks dude! This is only my second run using these nutes and my 4th ever grow. Just love to learn about them too when I’m not growing.

@MATTYMATT726

Blue dreams buds are looking delicious! Very frosty and no word of a lie is starting to smell a bit like dog shit but in a good way? Lol
