Very stressed. Thanks for asking.

And you?
A little rough but not complaining.
Should I read back?
Are you having an issue?

Hello Dr Trevor - I don't believe I've had the pleasure to date
Not sure about your line of nutes [I'm UK], but generally I use 1/2 strength most of the time, increasing to 3/4 only towards the end of veg until around week 5-6 of flower, then drop it down again giving just a little PK/Carbs or boost or whatever - I don't feed up to harvest, the last week or two just water, and I do use a flushing agent and H2O2
Flavour/smoothness/terps after curing seems to be improved
 
I use Big Bloom, Grow Big and Tiger Bloom as the primary nutes and follow FF's feeding schedule for photos.
With Chrissy being an auto, I have no idea how to feed her.
 
A little rough but not complaining.
Should I read back?
Are you having an issue?

My CBDutch Treats are suppose to be photo. My last crop was one and one (photo and auto). My current crop is the same.
 
Today was transpot and watering day!

Chrissy (the accidental auto) was moved to a three gallon cloth pot. Most likely, this will be her final pot.

Janet (not an auto) was moved to a one gallon pot. She'll be moved to a five gallon pot when needed.

I made a quart of nute solution, consisting:
.25 ts Instagreen
.125 ts Cal/mag

Both plants seem to show the beginning of a magnesium deficiency and a nitrogen deficiency.

In two days I start LST.

Today was feeding day as well as training day. Hooray for me!

I prepared a half gallon of nute solution, consisting of:
1.5 ts Big Bloom;
1 ts Grow Big;
1 ts Terpinator;
.125 ts CalMag Xtra
1 tb molasses
.5 trb Instagreen
.5 ts Boomerang
.5 ts Wholly Mack

pH of this was adjusted to 6.26

Janet (in a one gallon pot) received a pint of this solution. She's already showing that she will be a very bushy plant.

I added
< .125 ts of Open Sesame,
< 1ml Bcuzz Bloom
to the remaining solution and adjusted the pH to 6.25

Chrissy (in a three gallon pot) received the remainder of the nutes.

While doing LST on the girls, I accidentally snapped Chrissy's main stalk. It almost came off. Yikes!! I made a simple brace with some paper and painter's tape. We'll see if she recovers.

Today is watering day! Hooray!!!

I adjusted a gallon of water to a pH of 6.28 and watered the girls two ounces at a time. I stopped at run.

Chrissy does not seem to be suffering from her accident, last Saturday. Flowers are still coming in.
 
Fed the girls today! Prepared a gallon of nute solution, consisting of:
2 tb Big Bloom;
2 ts Grow Big;
1tb Terpinator;
.25 ts CalMag Xtra;
2 tb molasses;
1 tb Instagreen.
I adjusted the pH to 2.8 and slowly fed Janet until she had runoff (about a quart).

I then added the following to to the remainder of the solution:
.75 ts of Boomerang;
.75 tb Wholly Mack.
I adjusted the pH to 2.6 and fed Chrissy. She had runoff after nearly three quarts of solution.

The girls are looking good. Chrissy's damaged seemed to have healed. I'll remove her 'band aid' when I water her next.
 
Watering day for the girls! I made five quarts of water and added 1 tb of Instagreen. The pH was adjusted to 6.28; for some reason, I had trouble adjusting the pH. I will calibrate my pH meter.

Janet took just over 4 cups before there was runoff. Chrissy took 3.5 quarts.

I removed Chrissy's band aid. She healed very nicely. I don't even see a knuckle, just a small line where she broke off.

Looking good Amigo :thumb:
Hope you had a nice weekend.
Take care. :high-five:

I've been laying low with back issues, Bill. Using my time to make a few batches of gummies.

Thanks for asking.
Hope everything is OK my friend.
That's rough, I know. :rolleyes:
Take care of yourself. :Namaste:

Feeding day for the girls! Hooray!

I prepared five quarts of nute solution, using:
2.25 tb Big Bloom;
1.25 tb Grow Big;
1 tb Molasses;
1 tb Instagreen;
1.25 ts. Boomerang;
1 tb Wholly Mack.

the pH was adjusted to 6.26. I fed Janet, one cup at a time. She drank just over four cups before there was runoff.

I then added the following to the remainder of the solution:
.125 ts of Open Sesame;
1ml Bcuzz Bloom;
and adjusted the pH to 6.24. Chrissy drank 3.5 quarts before there was runoff.

Both of the girls are looking healthy, though I wonder when Janet will have anything resembling a growth spurt.

Until next time....
 
Watering day for the girls....

Today, I took 1.5 gallons of water and adjusted it to a pH of 6.28.
I slowly, gently and lovingly watered both Janet and Chrissy. Janet took just under 1.5 quarts of water before there was runoff. Chrissy took about a gallon before there was run off.

The girls are growing nicely. Chrissy is growing tall.

Photos next week.
 
Feeding day for the girls!

I made a half gallon of nute solution for Janet, using the following:
1 tb Big Bloom;
.5 tb of Grow Big;
1 ts Terpinator;
1 tb molasses;
.125 ts Insta-green;
.5 ts Boomerang;
.5 tb Wholly Mackerel.

I gave Janet about 3.5 quarts before there was run off.

Janet is very thick and bushy. This strain (when it's not an auto) is not very tall, but it's thick enough to block out the sun.


I made a gallon of (slightly different) nute solution for Chrissy, consisting of:
2 tb Big Bloom;
1 tb Grow Big;
2 tb Terpinator;
.25 ts CalMag;
2 tb Molasses;
.5 ts Beasty Bloom;
1 ts Boomerang;
1 tb Wholly Mackeral;
3ml BCuzz Bloom.

Chrissy (the accidental auto) is growing up and out! Numerous colas are growing extremely close to the main cola. I'm afraid that LST will snap them off.

and here are those photos I promised:

I make beer and mead. Wine is something I make once every three years.
 
Last Tuesday, I watered the girls. I just forgot to log it in here. Afterwards, we went to the Bronx Zoo. The place is empty on Tuesdays.

Today was feeding day!

I prepared a half gallon of nute solution for Janet, consisting of:
.5 tb Big Bloom;
1.5 ts Grow Big;
1 ts Terpinator;
.125 ts Cal Mag Xtra;
1 tb molasses;
.5 tb Insta Green;
.25 ts Open Sesame;
.5 ts Boomerang;
.5 tb Wholly Mackeral

Janet took in about 1.75 cups before there was runoff. Her leaves are looking a little dark and shiny, leading me to believe she's getting too much nitrogen. I'll cut the Insta Green from her diet and see what happens.
