420 Magazine's Official Girl Scout Cookies Comparative Grow By Furcifer

[Rexer]

They will take a little hit due to additive incompatibility.
So for bad "Pathogens" control I'll try "Revitalize" Biofungicide produced by "Bonide".
Not a fan of products made by "Monsanto" or "Bayer" ie......"Hydro-guard".

Thank you for commenting...as I said above.
This was from an incompatibility of Bug deterrent..SNS209 and bad Pathogens control Z7.
If I wasn't in a hurry last Friday... I think I would have detected an issue...if I just looked and smelled the resiviors as I usually do.
They will be fine.

Hey brother, glad things are getting back under control. I have zero doubts with your skills you'll have them back on track in no time

 

[Furcifer]

After a little drama from the Queens of GSC. I think all will be ok.
Just a slight distraction from what I really need to focus on.......Anyway everyone is drinking nutrients like a binge drinker.... which is a good thing.
Decaying has stopped progress. Only damaged foliage is greening or continues to die.

Thanks brother I do appreciate the kudos!

Furcifer, Sorry about the mix issue, but good to hear how you got in front of it, good info for new hydro growers out there. Regardless, your grow still looks amazing in both quality and scale. Cheers

Happy Sunday!
Yesterday pic's.....
Aug 14 Alive 79 Days, 39 Days of Veg, 30 Days Flip for "Flora" and "Wednesday"
"Flora" has been hit pretty hard by the invasion of a root pathogen that seems to effect the uptake of nutrients.
Even though the pathogen doesn't seem to be active. The damage caused is very noticeable.
Looks like she will be fine in the end.
Feeding of @Prescription Blend Nutrients
Definitely has a positive response from the plants. Even though there's issues buds and top of plants seem to continue to grow well.
ppm's are stable around 950.
2ml of #Revitalize per gallon.
All plants have been given a daily drench of 1qt of #Revitalize inoculated water. Poured through the hydroton and upper root zone.
When hydroton is dry. They are sprayed with a 8ml per gallon mix of @Sierra Natural Science SNS 209.

"Wednesday" was not as badly effected. Still the effected areas are continuing to fade. Due to a week of lower Vegetation and Root issue healing. I have been reluctant to do any necessary pruning of the upper section's.

Aug 14, "Fiona" Alive 79 Days, 45 Days of Veg, 24 Days from Flip.
Since I've been monitoring her lower health issues. She also has been neglected in a proper trim.

Ditto for the other two....
Aug 14, "Morticia" and "Cousin IT" Alive 79 Days, 52 Days of Veg, 17 Days from Flip.

ppm's are starting to go up on "Morticia". I'll end up doing a res change in a day or two.
It's kind of funny that these two. With the largest leaves that had to be "Halo'ed" and supported to allow light penetration.
Have the skinniest upper leaves of them all.

They need a haircut worse than I.

Despite your problems, I think your plants look beautiful.

Furcifer…love the rolling fields of weed. Cheers

 

[Modest Grower]

Wow, plenty of top shelf bud in your future. Very well done.

Thank you, a little extra pampering has kept them in check. Tho' I hope this decreases as time goes on.

Amazing how easy this strain was trainable for a pretty even canopy.

Wow, plenty of top shelf bud in your future. Very well done.

Thanks brother. If I don't do a good trim soon... gonna have a couple of seriously "Hash" material girls!
This will give me a good excuse to get a "Bubble Bag Set" and try something new.
Cheers!

Girls are moving along quite nicely.
Shout out to all Sponsors participating in this event.
@Prescription Blend Nutrients
@Sierra Natural Science
Thank you for your donation of products used in this grow.
Even though I had a compatibility issue with SNS209 and Z7. I am very happy with @Sierra Natural Science SNS209 and will continue to us it. I have since switched from Z7 to a product with a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens that contains a high Colony-forming units (cfu) per milliliter.
Also a shout out to @Mars Hydro who's lights I have used for this grow.

Rolling Fields

 

[Furcifer]

420 Family, good morning. Woke up last night and realized that my last post didn't include a Sponsor.
Absolutely if not for them!
This Comparison Grow would not be going on right now.
I'm talking about @Weed Seeds Express
This post is to recognize their Genetics in early flower stage.
This strain has been an easy grower. And bounced back quickly after a couple of minor issues. Easily trainable with very minor pheno difference's.

4 weeks Left side plant and 5 weeks for the other two from flip.

3 weeks from flip

Bud Shot

 

[Furcifer]

Although you all might think that I have abandoned the Clones.
Reality is that one from the bucket and one from the petri dish are alive.
Sorry for the burple lights but I am not going to accommodate a white light pic today.

Enjoy the blurple pic's.
Projects in suspension for another day.
Cheers!

 

[Furcifer]

All is going good so far. A little extra effort due to the "Crotch Hot" weather we've been experiencing for a few weeks now.
Humidity has been right up there with the temperature....to high to hot! Untill it rains (seems like a daily event). Than humidity surpasses heat.
I have been able to keep temps around 80ish + and humidity under 60% most of the time.
@Prescription Blend is spot on for growing this wonderful plant!
Still feeding at mid 900ppm for all. The ones that start pushing 1200ppm build up get only water with cal/mag with water treatment. Bringing ppm's back down to the 900 range. Doing this will extend the need for a resivior change.
@Sierra Natural Science SNS209 is used weekly in the feeding schedule. And every 3 days for a light foliar and hydroton spray.
@Mars Hydro lights are doing a fantastic job so far. The FCE4800 is 80% at 15 inches from the top of "Flora". The FC4800 is 18 inches above "Morticia".
@Weed Seeds Express GSC are an impressive plant. Beautiful stacking of buds. And are plumping up nicely. Looks like I might have to start staking them up before they start staring at the ground.

Wow! Your colas look massive at only a little longer in flowering than mine, which aren't nearly as meaty as yours.

Thank you @HashGirl
I am also impressed with the size of the buds being pumped out!

Due to early issues and recent environment. I expect some ugly looking leaves on a couple in the near future.

 

[cr8grow]

Furcifer…all currently look so healthy and the buds are thick. Nice work and good luck with managing that heat and humidity. Cheers

 

[Furcifer]

Thanks for the support cr8. I think they will do ok. Just requires a little more work.
Cheers!

 

[Furcifer]

Happy Thursday everyone!
Just a little update. Currently I'm on a small trip to Texas and Colorado for a couple of days.
Girls are doing well so far. And are in capable hands while I'm gone.... we hope!
Anyway "On with the Show"!

[Furcifer]

Back from my little trip. And the girls are doing ok. A little hungry looking with a lot of tip burn. All are in need of a res change and a refreshing of nutrients.
Good news is there are no Bugs! Buds were starting to get a little heavy and leaning on each other. Spent this morning wiring them up.
