Ebbnflowr grows breeder cuts in an 8x8 😎

Right ive read during stretch it's not a bad idea to apply some drought stress to set flowers a little early and control vertical growth so that's why I did it...I guess there is always a trade off when doing one thing different haha....they did stop stretching like day 16 tho.
One other tidbit to explain why this likely happened.

During stretch the plants explodes in growtg uptake demands increase very fast this is the point you need to up you feed frequency the most. It may jump from 1-2 times a day to 5+ times a day in a week or 2. Then it will stabilize and increase slower until actually going down near the end.

Crop steering is something i don’t know enough about to feel confident on giving advice on. I’ not sure of the time but it usually involves manipulation of several factors. I know a bit but definitely not an expert in that area

Maybe @tobh could help you in that aspect.

I think maybe next run during stretch I'll do 1x then ramp up from there vs every other day....should still see the benefits of the crop steering that way.
 
Can’t speak to it but it appears to be specific to phosphorus which is a benefit. It may wrll be enough and may actually break doen other nutrients as well.

wish i could help you more on that product but i just don’t know brother
All good man thank you for your time again man!
 
Great analogy, my apoligies for interuption. Aquaman has you, I just wanted to update the Cann brick situation as I top, hand water in coco I use Canna bricks as of recent. RespectSS
How are you liking the canna? I honestly feel its the best option. I rinse the bricks to remove pyth but not absolutely necessary
 
This grape gas is fucking insane excuse my language....theyve been hanging for 8 days now pretty consistent at 60/60...man i never know when to put them into bins....I think they need another day or 2 but this shit is smoking I'm out of bud so I've been waiting patiently. Wayyyyyy better than last run not even close.

Had a friend grow it and he said the same thing… was a huge yielder for him too

Yeah she checks every single box...early finisher too if you want or you can take her to 63...she would be torched past that tho haha but every box checked. Yield, bag appeal, terps, roots easy, easy to grow, washer...I wonder how many seeds they went through to find that cut.
 
Harvested my 3x3 this am....it was about a week behind the 4x4....most of this is in the freezer already 🤙 I kinda neglected this tent...temp/rh swings, drought stress, just kinda let them go and watered with my ebb and flow water when they seemed like they needed it lol....

Purple Magnolia from lovin in her eyes the guy who owns the local grow shop gave me this cut I think he ran a pack of those seeds.

Took those a little early bc I'm making hash out of most of that tent.
 
Still got the K deficiency going on....idk I've flushed a few times now. Doesn't seem to be getting better but it doesn't seem to be effecting bud development, but I am starting to see some purple edges....pH going in and coming back 6.0...ec at 2.0 ec...I've turned lights down a notch also in case that's what's going on. But not sure what else to do at this point.

...we press on...

Day 31 today.

Did you throw that in a freeze dryer?
Yes i dried it in a freeze dryer and it's in my freezer now still havent had the time to press it...last time I rushed it and my bag slipped and it ruined the entire run I was so upset. I had to make MCT oil out of it for edibles. So I want to make sure I have the time to get everything together before I try it again. Don't have much experience pressing anything.

Isn't 2 EC pretty high?
Like over 1000ppm?
That's what the chart says but I could lower it. I have 1200 ppm of CO2 going also I I thought you were supposed to keep it a little higher. It's actually calling for 2.2 right now...so I thought I was keeping it on the lower side but maybe with this system I should be way low end....
 
This one is crazy I traded for this cut from a big grow operation in Washington called coastal cultivation...they hunted this pheno and dude told me it's the one they sell the most of so I have high hopes. Giving some nasty gym sock vibes with some sourness to it...we will see.

yes

if ur running co2 u can push them babies.

usually need little higher temps to also utilize the co2 for metabolism, and higher PPFD.
 
overall they look great

some tip burn but thats NOT ONLY related to nutrients./ over"feeding"


  • Nutrient Imbalance: Often caused by a deficiency or excess of essential nutrients. For instance, calcium deficiency is a common cause of tip burn in crops like lettuce and celery.
  • Water Stress: Both over-watering and under-watering can lead to tip burn. Inconsistent watering can disrupt nutrient uptake and cause stress to plants.
  • High Soil Salinity: Excessive salts in the soil can cause dehydration and nutrient imbalance, leading to tip burn.
  • Poor Drainage: Waterlogged soil can exacerbate nutrient imbalances and lead to root problems, which in turn can cause tip burn.
  • Excessive Fertilization: Over-fertilizing, especially with high nitrogen levels, can result in salt build-up in the soil, leading to tip burn.
  • High Temperatures: Extreme heat can cause rapid transpiration, leading to dehydration and nutrient uptake issues that manifest as tip burn.
  • Pests and Diseases: Some pests and diseases can interfere with nutrient uptake or directly damage the plant tissues, leading to symptoms like tip burn.
  • pH Imbalance: Soil or water pH that's too high or too low can affect nutrient availability and uptake, potentially causing tip burn.
  • Environmental Stress: Sudden changes in environmental conditions, such as exposure to strong winds or intense sunlight, can stress plants and lead to tip burn.
  • Chemical Exposure: Contact with certain chemicals or herbicides can cause plant tissue damage, including tip burn.
 
He's barely got any tip burn though so I'd say he's only a little high. Plants are looking pretty dang good.

That's looking perf
Haha Ill post the not so perfect when I get a chance....thank you though...most of the leaves look like shit but the buds on all but 2 or 3 look good. Good thing were growing buds and trichomes lol. I'll make some adjustments next run but I'm just going to plug along on this one...
 
Day 45 this one I named Diamonds in the Sky....my first run last year when I started growing I did autos and it was a disaster. Second run I did photos fems, wasn't as bad but still pretty bad lol....I had a stress related herm I found after harvest on Bling Blaow which is Glitterbomb x Gastro Pop from compound. Then I found seeds in the chimera #3 s1 keeper I found out of a ten pack and decided to pop 2 beans awhile ago. This is the second run of it...terps are pretty much chimera with a little more sweetness. Both parents were frosty ASF. Haven't seen any intersex traits on either run.
