HashGirl Grows Alpine Star CBD, Carnival, Dark Devil & Raspberry Cough

[InTheShed]

Uh oh...helmet heads! I hope they shake those off without any trouble.

And after that, keep your expectations low. That's how dynamo managed to plant so many in that small pot!

 

[HashGirl]

I was just watering my plants and the roots of the Carnival, which is in a 5-gallon cloth pot are coming out the bottom of the pot. What should I do? Repot it? Or is it okay? This has never happened to me before.

 

[InTheShed]

How long between waterings (by which I mean between watering to runoff and the pot being very light and the bottom dry)?

 

[HashGirl]

I'm watering to run-off approximately every 4 to 5 days for the Carnival, which is still in veg and is currently 68 days old.

Felonious says it's normal for the roots to come out the bottom of the cloth pots and not to worry about it.

And he is absolutely correct! We often wonder why you ask questions here when you have a grower down the hall.

No worry about being root bound if it takes 4-5 days to dry out.

He wasn't here to ask but you took too long to reply so I called him. I have very little patience when I want to continue a task I'm working on. I was the same way at work. I'd email my boss and if he didn't answer right away, I'd see if anyone else knew the info before I bothered him again and on, I'm not saying Felonious is like my boss. It's more like the other way around.

We're celebrating 37 years of marriage today. Gosh it feels like forever but I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He waits on me hand and foot and tolerates my super loud music.

And, we have a couple of birthdays to celebrate today, too.

to DDA2 and DDA3:

Night all. I hope you are safe and with loved ones.

Happy anniversary to you and FP!


And congrats on the new babies too.

Happy anniversary Felonious and HG

 

[HashGirl]

Thank you for the congrats. We enjoyed a nice steak dinner from a local steakhouse and then Felonious went rail-fanning and I got high, knitted and watched TV.

Congrats on your anniversary AND babies!!!!

I get high and crochet and watch tv almost every night.... With our first grand baby on the way I am learning new patterns for babies. What exactly is rail fanning?

Railfan ?

Railfan ?

Head slap emoji.....

 

[InTheShed]

Slap lightly...I had to google it.

I just learned how to knit last year. So far, I've made 4 scarves and a baby blanket. I'm currently working on table runners for 2 of my 4 sisters who are celebrating their birthdays next week. I thought I could get both done but I'm not even done one yet so that might not happen.

Railfan ?

And, Shed is correct on what rail-fanning is. I think it's very boring but Felonious likes it and he has lots of friends who also enjoy it so I always think that's a good thing.

*** WEEKLY UPDATE ***
​

The plants are drinking more but I'm guessing that's pretty normal as they get bigger and ALP5 is my biggest one so the fact that she wanted 6L of water today, which is double the amount I fed her last time. ALP5's leaves are also yellowing a bit so I bumped up the MC to 5.5g/gallon. I wanted to ask @candycane about that as she posted in her journal that Alpine Stars were sensitive to added nutes. The @Weed Seeds Express website also says:
Note: our Alpine Star CBD strain needs little nutrition! It is therefore advisable to administer little to none nutrients. This way you prevent your strain from becoming overfed.

Without further ado, here are the photos:

The leaves are so oddly coloured:

Does it look like it's almost ready?

Raspberry Cough (I really love the look of this one):

I'll start a new post for the Alpine Stars.

And, here's a group shot of the Alpine Stars and Raspberry Cough:

And, that's it. Let me know if you see anything amiss.

Thanks for stopping by.

Looking good! If they recommend very low doses on the food of Alpine Star, the yellowing you could be the start of a toxicity or lockout. I'd try flushing 2-3 gallon of plain water through it and then feeding it with 4.5g/gallon MC. My big plants rarely go much over 4.5g/gal in veg these days.

 

[HashGirl]

Okay. I will try it next time I water. Am I supposed to do both (flush and fertigate) on the same day?

Yes, feed immediately after flushing.

What about in flower?
