Hutch's Canadian Grow Comparison Featuring Black Sugar

[N420]

Keelink eet!

Gesundheit!... I just learned this one tonight.

That's all I've ever said when someone sneezes!

 

[HutchBenedict]

I'll take this spot in the back if you don't mind. BS1 is crushing and BS2 made a serious comeback. Nice work!

Hey, welcome aboard! Free popcorn!

 

[HutchBenedict]

I'll take a spot in the back. That first seed with MC looks great. I got some seeds coming so it will b nice to see how they grow.

Welcome aboard Fast and thanks! I've been enjoying your journal though I still haven't caught up.

My wife is German so I have a good one for you ……………… Schwantz Kopf Guess what that one means …….

My wife moved to the USA when she was 22 so she is hard core German. Its fun to listen to her and her brothers and sisters talk. They are still in Germany

Hi folks! Seedsman Black Sugar continues her march to the hookah. Last night we began to prepare her for quadlining. Before starting to quadline the plant must be healthy and vigorous and have at least five nodes. First we remove the fifth node by topping. Then we remove both leaves and any growth from from nodes one and two such that only four leaves remain, those at the third and fourth nodes.

Seedsman Black Sugar #1 - Day 23 - 2.25" tall

BS#2 is starting to look a little better but she is still growing slower than she should. She was transplanted into this yogurt container a day or two ago and node four is unfolding now but even that is wonky!

Seedsman Black Sugar #2 - Day 19 - 2" tall

Hello 420, here's the latest update on our Seedsman Black Sugar grow:

Seedsman Black Sugar #1 - Day 28 - 2.75" tall - Two gallon pot

She has paused a little to allow her roots to spread out and fill the pot. There has been a little bit of growth on the shoots that will grow out of nodes 3 and 4. I think she has fallen behind a couple of the others in this comparative grow. This morning she was fed 5.0g/gn Mega Crop in 500ml water

Seedsman Black Sugar #2 - Day 24 - 2.25" tall - 2.2 kg yogurt

Still growing funny. If you look at the latest pair of leaves above you will see that the leaf pointing north looks fairly normal but the leaf pointing south is small and deformed, especially the middle finger. I have decided she will not be joining her sister in the flower tent when the time comes (in about three weeks) but will remain in a vegetative state either for the grow round after next or until I decide to dispose of her.

Thanks for dropping by!

You are a harsh taskmaster Hutch! They look good to me .

First off. 5 g of MegaCrop / 500 ml of water is a insane amount. Im hoping this is a typo
Second, I am roughly around your stage and will be feeding at 4 g / 4 L
Thirdly, as Shed alluded to, this small stage will be a bushy undergrowth memory in the next 2 weeks. March on soldier!

You mis-read it Baron. He's at 5g/gallon an fed 500ml of it:

5.0g/gn Mega Crop in 500ml water

Still higher than mine which are a lot bigger!

I sees it now...we Canadians dont recognize the .gn abbreviation.....carry on.

I agree, in 2 weeks you wouldn't know it was there, look at my zombie plant, I'm glad I didn't cull her, she'll give me something for my efforts.

Thanks! I'm not really a harsh taskmaster, I'm just making an excuse . I have a beautiful clone of a plant I'm flowering now that I'd rather grow out and I only have room for 4 small pots in my flower tent. I'm also vegging a Cookies cross and a Gelato cross.

She is a bit slower than she should be but as long as she's healthy I'm not too worried. She will be vegging for at least three more weeks so lots of time. Her last feeding was at 4.5g/gallon and there were no ill effects and don't expect any problems bumping her up. You guys have me scared now so I'll probably leave her at 4 to 5g for now.

I'm not really scientific about Mega Crop and often just pick a pre-mixed jug that looks "close enough". I usually hope the plant will let me know if I've over/under done it.

 

[HutchBenedict]

I wonder if my use of higher doses of Mega Crop is the reason why your plants are bigger? Would stunted growth be a symptom of over-feeding? Maybe I'm proving that it is but I thought it would show up as nitrogen toxicity and/or burning. Another reason yours are bigger could be your greater experience that would show up in little unnoticed ways that could have a lot of impact. Climate could play a role as well.

Two other plants sprouted the same day as the Black Sugar and both have been fed the same mix. BS#1 is the smallest of the three. Here is one of the others

Expert Seeds Gorilla Cookies - Day 28 - 2.5" tall - 2.2 kg yogurt container
Not really any bigger but she is better developed. They are all topped and stripped for quadlining.

Anyway, I've seen time and time again on here that it never pays off to stray too far from the norm with nutes unless you know what you're doing. And I don't. I appreciate your comments and I think I'll follow the recommended guidelines henceforth to help reduce complexities.

Haha, zombie plants often grow up to be excellent yielders. I'm not going to cull her just yet but I am going to try to keep her small and in veg for the next three months.
