Photoperiod Damien's Zamadelica x Kali China SOG

[Death The Cultivator]

Flushed the Growpito with .5EC of Pure Blend Pro and Liquid Karma/Fulvic Acid/Growpito Beneficials at a 5.5ph. Set the lights for 18/6, 86f and 70% humidity.

The middle pot has the sickest cuts but overall concerned that about 8 or so won't thrive. Two weeks to see how everything turns out and get some cuts for new mothers.

Plants are slowly improving with more green in the upper leaves. A few are still concerning but I have a couple backups. Nothing quite yet ready for me to get some clones for a mother but I'll wait until the stretch.

Giving them a daily Foliar of Liquid Karma/Fulvic Acid/Yucca/Potassium with temps around 86-88f and RH at 65-70%. Haven't seen anymore larvae though a few adults were flying around a day after transplant.

Glad to be back using Botanicare, used MC/kelp/humic long enough to know I get tired of weighing stuff out. Prescription Blend was nice but too many containers to measure out. PBP/LQ is my go to with my best yield and quality. This last batch of weed was poor looking/yielding but oily to the slightest touch with biscotti/lemon terps.

Colas were between 12-26" but the bud was super airy and many of the stems had holes in them from the gnats. Smokes real good but small harvest

Now technically Zamaldelica x Kali China isn't a limited edition anymore but it was lol. Welcome to the Grow My cloning efforts have been less than satisfactory and I was behind due to life issues so this grow is late. Going to be running Zamaldelica x Kali China again with 12 clones...

That Bangi Congo x Panama looked much different

Did my first flood since transplant with PbP/LQ/Fulvic/Growpito Beneficials at a 1.1EC and 5.5ph. Everything is looking much better but I did cull six clones. Down to 32 but I'd just like a healthy grow at this point.

Plants are doing better with color returning and noticeable vigor. I'll see how much they grow in the next week before I decide if I flip. No visible roots yet on the bottom I might make miracles happen lol.

Last harvest was weighed and only came out to ~350g. This time I'm hoping to pull 1oz per plant but this is the most uniformity I've had.

In other news, a grow light company hired me, offered me no resources, and instructed me make them some money. No leads, no training, nothing. All on commission with no benefits or salary. They'll need to find a new employee

More color is returning with new leaves growing. Still giving a daily foliar of Liquid Karma and monitoring for new root growth. I have not seen any fungus gnats for awhile. I think I'll still flip at day 14 and just roll with whatever I get.

Found this on lighting https://chilledgrowlights.com/education/why-you-should-include-uv-a-in-led-grow-lights

The Highlights from GrowlightAustralia are beautiful but pricey. I've been considering just building something. Future stuff.

Gloriousus veg has saved the day along with BTI and blessings. The flip to 11/13 isn't far away and I'm only concerned about one plant atm. Roots are hitting the bottom of the pots while looking thick and white. No more fungus gnats or larvae have been seen in the flower tent.

Flooded yesterday at a 1.2EC and 5.8ph while giving daily foliar feeds of P/Fulvic/Liquid Karma. I have been slowly removing large damaged fan leaves to encourage some vegetative growth. There a few in the back left that may need to be topped. Not mad about 30/36 compared to the last run of 32/45.

Oddest thing happens in the hydro store, I'm checking out all local shops out of curiosity, and the clerk starts telling me how the majority of the staff only grow in soil. That's utter blasphemy and diametrically opposed. The dude goes on to tell me how the owner hires growers because he doesn't really know how to grow much of anything.

I ask them have they considered in home consultations - they have and they need someone to do them. Wouldn't call it getting a job but I was told they would call me when they needed me. Now I get to be paid to assault others with my endless horde of useless knowledge. Setting up grow equipment, diagnosing plants, etc and they asked if I would teach classes on hydroponics

Anyways, pictures!

Started 11/13 with 87f/65%. Last check on the res was 1.1ec/6.0ph. I was able to get a new filter for the AIRCARE 6 gallon humidifier and my humidity has stayed a bit higher. In the mean time I have some Jalisco IBL x Amnesia germinating.

Still a bit concerned about a few but overall satisfied. The EB gen2s are about 12" away, I'll let them grow to the light if they stretch that hard. The stems are bushy and the age difference is apparent. Now I can kick back and do a lot less since nothing is dying anymore.

Had a visitor, most thankful to the Canna gods, coming to eat my problems away. I was not aware that lady bugs were carnivores exclusively. The peroxide solution did not work with a dilution, I used it undiluted. The medium fizzled and fizzled and my mother Extrema plant is still alive and no more gnats or larvae so far.

I was able to grab eight cuts that dipped in Rhizopon and fingers crossed. Beautiful cuts that branched off from the bottom. Recalibrated my ph meter to discover I was feeding in at a 5.1 - added silica to raise the ph by .7 and the EC by .1. Increased the amount of BTI just in case.

Really fond of the work it takes to maintain several stages of growth in intervals with SOG. Learned so much cloning, keeping mothers, and growing the same cuts repeatedly.

So many environmental factors can change the way one cut taste, smells, and performs. Not defoliating but rather managing my entire environment more efficiently has really proven effective. Environment really is everything.

Ordered beneficial nematodes for my two remaining mothers and whatever else can get it

Preflowers on every cut and maybe the stretching has stopped. I don't really know. Fingers crossed for 28g x per plant

 

[Death The Cultivator]

Not much of a stretch.
