Follow up on feeding: I forgot to mention last night that I added 1 tbsp neem oil per gallon.
I also tested pH of soil in more different pots. Most are between 6.2 and 6.8. A few were at or near 7.0. I've been adding vinegar to feedings recently because I suspected pH might be high. Those now in 6.8-7.0 range must have been slightly alkaline before, which explains magnesium deficiency in certain plants just as Mr. K suggested.
and now
The Hash Bomb Update:
Keeping a journal is a lot more fun when I get to post pictures like this:
Hash Bomb #2 is as big as WW#1&2 combined. I gave up trying to fit her into 1 sq.ft. space and gave her her own screen. My long-term plan has always been to grow fewer larger plants. I think the next batch I will train for 2 sq.ft. I'll also need bigger pots if I do because she already feels a little light after last night's feeding. I love the way this strain branches evenly., unlike DT that kept trying to send runners under the screen. HB seems perfect for scrog. All the lower branches reach up to screen. I also love that I got a decent stretch from these. That may be due to its sativa-ness, or if I'm doing a better job training before they go in tent. Could also be the new nutes I've added. After focusing on problems for a couple weeks it was great to be able focus on my plants that are doing well.
This is HB#8 in middle next to Chernobyl on left and DAH on right. She was growing in odd spot of tent that only had room for one plant which explains odd shape. I kept bumping her screen when moving in tent and finally gave up on it. She doesn't really seem to need one, her branches seem pretty well set. She and HB10 are the most indica like of the group.
HB4 (front) and HB6 doing well sharing screen together. HB6 had worst attack from mites. One of DTs had branch growing into her space, but otherwise HBs as group seem to have good mite resistance. Also decent stretch like the others. BCS and Critical are plants to the left. I'm becoming impressed with both as possible long term members.
And now the outcast, HB1 doing his thing and providing some landscaping for my daughters' playhouse. Hanging on to him for pollen to make some seeds. HB has a pretty varied genetic background. Offspring could be a pretty crazy mix of phenos. Who knows what could turn up?
And finally, HB10 next to clones of Critical (front 3), BCS (middle next to HB10) and HB2 (back 3). I also have several clones of HB4,6&8. All such good plants it's a shame to have to choose just one to keep. Not a bad problem to have though.
