Blue Dream & God’s Gift grow.

[Ikilledit]

I see it in ocean forest. All the light substrate is alway in the upper half of the bag seems like. So I have started dumping the bags and it mix the shit out of it in a large tote.

I have noticed that. Usually I’d just stick my hand in the bag and scoop it around a bit.

I can see it being an issue if one pot has soil from top and the other from bottom.
It can make watering different for sure IMO.
I agree in a bag the plant still has all the soil and the watering is always the same so no biggy.

The OP mentioned one plant not drinking as much. It’s what made me remember my experience with soil compaction in the premix bags. It can cause issues.

 

[Ikilledit]

Well I kicked up the potassium this feed to 10 ml pre 2 liters. So my feed is

12 ml per 2 liter’s Phosphorus ( Bloom)
10 ml per 2 liter’s Potassium ( Micro)
5 ml per 2 liter’s Nitrogen ( Grow)
4 ml per 2 liter’s Cal/Mag
4 ml per 2 liter’s Overdrive

I am thinking I have this going on but not in a bad way.
Plants are just a PIA to water on their own schedule.
My limited understanding is not drinking as much is usually lock out related, but if the plant looks fine but is just drying back slower then this is completely in the realm to me.
Need to get the electric cement mixer back from my buddy~!

Exactly. And here’s another thing. I fed the 13th. But the cold front came in and I had to crank up the heat upstairs. With out heat and lights on the temp maxed out at 72 degrees. Night time temps in the low 60’s. Humidity in the 70’s I’d say. But with the heat on the temp hit 80 with lights on and low to mid 70’s at lights out. The humidity dropped to 55 to 60 percent. So with that being said I had to water 1 day earlier. But that particular plant could have stayed on the 3 day schedule. What did I do? I just watered it as well. But the thing is the other 8 plants were way dryer then I like them to be and this one wasn’t.

I have had to alternate feeding schedules due to environment but never had one plant to do this.

Calcium is usually the culprit behind lockouts. If the bag ain’t mixed well you could have higher concentrations of calcium in different layers of soil in the bag. Anyway just my thoughts on a possible cause for issues in a grow, such as that.

This was one of my concerns. I have decent municipal water. 188 ppms. I have read that with good water cal/mag isn’t really necessary. Unless you see deficiencies. Been using it for a few weeks now with no issues. So this time when I watered I left out the cal/mag. Just not sure exactly.

Earlier in my grow I was having some hydrophobic soil issues. Didn’t know what that term was until I got some schooling here @Rootsruler But I knew my dirt was dry as a white dog turd. So I watered em down. With un-ph’d water. Yeah I know rookie mistake. Day 1 stuff. Maybe those 2 didn’t take it so well. Knocked their soil environment out of wack. Maybe they’re doing good and that’s old signs of abuse showing. If I go changing and adding to much or too little I’ll be chasing my own ass. I’m gonna let it play out. Thanx for the advice

I use FF/ COM/Sohum and promix and never pH my water.
My water is way worse than yours.
7.6pH 365ppm but low GH [9] and KH [2].
If this is from unpHed water then you will recover no issue.
I have some plants that go purple early and hard and then others that don't so I don't pH still.

In most cases the soil will buffer ph. It’s when it’s really high or low out of tap that you got to add up or down. I quit testing my ph except when I aeroponic clones.

 

[Rootsruler]

My tap has never gone over 100ppm and usually hovers around 40 - 60 ppm so I use Cal/Mag at every feeding.

 

[Ikilledit]

Here’s the update. Plants are going on day 43 of flower. Plants couldn’t be doing better.



I’m given them all they can handle as far a nutes.

 

[steamroller]

Yea man you are on point the way I see things.
Slight tip curl but no real burn.
That is right where I have been trying to stay.
Push baby~!

Thanx I appreciate that. Yeah I’m basically staying course with everything. I did up the Potassium a tad. Just 2 mls. Cut the Big Bud. Started the Overdrive. I’m happy with their progress.

Thanx for looking.

 

[Ikilledit]

Got my next ones growing. I have 2 Blue Dream, 3 GG, 2 Double Purple Doja, 2 Grandaddy Purple and 2 Purple Diesel. Plants recovered well after a repotting.



The 2 DPD.


The PD and the GP just sprouted.





All is going well. Thanx for reading.

 

[Ikilledit]

I was kinda worried about the plant that went full herm. But it’s looking like I was lucky. I don’t see any seed development on any of the plants. I did however pull 2 plants from my new grow. One was just really short compared to the same strain. The other was lanky and had uneven limbs. One limb was 2 inches the other side 6.

 

[Ikilledit]

Picture Day. Couple days after week 7. Plants are going strong. Got some leaves dying off. Feed is still the same. Maybe a week or 2 left. Bout ready to Cut, Dry, Jar and Char. Thanx for looking

 

[Rootsruler]

WOW! Those plants look almost like they could win a light raffle......almost......

It’s hard for an outsider to win anything unless you’re part of the quote Good ol boys club. Plus I think my plants look great for a 3rd grow. Never won anything in my life. So I have no expectations.

Outstanding looking grow Ikilledit! You are definitely killing it with that frosty goodness. I bet it's smelling all kinds of groovy up in there too

Thank you. Yes they do smell amazing. So Amazing I think the neighbors can smell them.

Been a minute since I’ve been here. Doing a small addition to the house. Plants are close to finishing. Maybe a week or 2. One Blue Dream finished so it’s chopped and drying. The others are coming along well. I have one plant that doesn’t look like the others. It’s more purple looking but the buds are dark. Not sure what it is. Here’s some pics. Thanx for reading.

Here’s the BD plants.


The Gods Gift



Some more BD

 

[Ikilledit]

Now this is the odd ball. I have no idea what it is. But it’s beautiful.

 

[Rootsruler]

Call it "Frosty the Bro' Man"!!

I ran a gods gift outdoor - everyone loved it - it was outdoor for me, did make great hash and wax

Nice. Plant looks great. I cut the bigger Gods Gift about 2 weeks ago. It was ready at 7 weeks. Dried it whole for 7 days then cut all the buds off. So now I’m sweating them a week. Been working on the house the last few weeks. Then I caught this bad cold. I hate being sick. I’ve got 2 BD that I’m cutting tomorrow. Gonna be ending this grow soon and moving on to what’s in veg now. So I’ve got the Double Purple Doja, Granddaddy Purple, Purple Diesel and 2 Gods Gift. I ended up cutting the 3 Blue Dream down. They were really tall and very skinny at 2 months in veg. The mains had a set of leaves and node then 7 inches up another. Seemed to spaced out to really do anything. Again thanx for dropping in and checking out my grow.

 

[Ikilledit]

Just when you think the problems are over they’ve really only just begun. So I’ve been working last few weeks and sick this week. Haven’t really paid to much attention to my plants. My daughter came down to visit us last week. She wanted to see my plants. So she goes upstairs checks them out. Later on that night she says the upstairs door was open and she saw the cats running down the stairs. She said the cats didn’t go in. So if feeling better today. I go up and water. Start looking at my plants and I started noticing HAIR everywhere. Hair on everything. Dang cats were up there going crazy for hours. Even ate on my new plants again. I don’t even want to take pics of the buds because of the hair. It’s going to take me forever to pick them off plant by plant and bud by bud. I’m gonna be pulling hairs all the way up to the jarring process.

 

[Rootsruler]

Just repeat after me...."I love my cats. I really do."

 

[Ikilledit]

Alright folks. Plants have been cut. Now they’re hung in a veg closet and 2 in the flower room I ran out of space. Got plants hanging everywhere.
Guess we don’t need pics. Who hasn’t seen a plant hanging to dry. The God’s Gift I cut 3 weeks ago is curing nicely. Firing up a bowl as we speak. Turned out awesome. Sticky, smelly. You can definitely taste the fuel on this one but in a good way. Buds came out tight and compact. Need a grinder for this. Unless your me. I just crumble it best I can and smoke it. It’s got a nice jar appeal. I’ll post finished buds once they’re ready. Here’s a pic of the Gods Gift that’s in the jar.






Thank you to everyone who commented on my grow and liked what I was doing. I really do appreciate the support.

 

[Rootsruler]

Buds in the jar is the final part to the whole grow!

Great grow my Dude!!! Frosty as fuck!!!
