Well it's my day off so I was in the garden and decided to take some new pictures to show everyone!
Everyone is just thriving. I hope I'm not jinxing myself, but I really am starting to feel like I know what I'm doing. It's been 8 months since my first grow and I have finished 5 plants so far, MI5 being my 6th. I have had tons of problems and I still haven't had a perfect grow, but I love trying. I'm starting to see the differences in each plant, how they each ask for and need different things. I don't think I'm an expert, but I don't feel like a dumb noob anymore and I'm really proud of that!
So hopefully these girls won't decide to throw any major curve balls at me in the future.
Anyway,
MI5 is just about done and I'm just waiting for her to dry out a little more before I chop. I'm sad that the deficiency from the pH issue made her leaves look so ugly, but her flowers are gorgeous and her smell is potent!
I think tomorrow will be her due date.
Creme mandarine is starting to go into full blown bud production. The LST went well and she has 4 great colas including her main one. I pulled them down a bit more to open up the middle of the bush. She has a really thick canopy.
She also is showing no more signs of nute burn or too much nitrogen. I think my flushing of the soil a few weeks ago really washed all of the miracle grow crap out of the mix. Thank god. She's already really sugary and getting noticeably fatter every day. I think she's gonna have some serious buds on her. Once MI5 is gone she'll be under 2 x 125w 2700k CFLs. That should really make her happy.
Auto Pounder is growing rapidly and I think she's gonna be quite big. She's in the 5gal air pot, so that's fine, but she's growing a node a day and with perfect 1 inch spacing. I can't wait to see what I can do with her and LST. :head:
And blueberry is a beautiful baby. Nice deep green and a thick little stem. She actually has a blue-ish hue to her. She's exactly 2 weeks behind pounder and they both say about 70 days for them. I like to have 3-4 weeks between but I just couldn't wait to pop blueberry.
And lastly, I am very excited to say that today I placed my order for Mossy's Budwider seeds. They are regulars, so I will be growing out a male for pollen production. I've heard that this strain is a great medicine and one of the parents to the dragon strains. I have been dying to get my hands on some dragons and this is the closest I've gotten. I just hope I can get some real dragons in the future...sigh...
I'm also getting some ghaze x cinderella99 auto fems. I love c99 so I'm hoping these have some qualities of that.
Oh and my lettuce is sprouting well. I gave my spinach some of the leftover nute water from creme mandarine and now it's flowering. Whoops.
The first three are MI5, next three are creme mandarine and then pounder and blueberry.
Cheers mates! Happy growing!
