New Grower Equatorial 2.0

[MickJ]

Update again cos its worth updating?

Anyways, we're having a bit of a dry spell lately. Daytime humidity can reach early 40s. This means a few things. Good news for the big girls. They are drying out sooner and I'm feeding on 3rd day after a feed, for the first time in veg. Even in flower, I've only done this once. So naturally very excited.

But its not that good for the younger Amnesia. She has some dead but recovering new growth, so im pretty sure its not nute burn. However, she should be pretty hot and pissed now. I topped/fimmed/trained her all before Day 13. Then...I fed her with 0.75g per litre of MC together with Sour Hound who is 10 days older. I thought i could get away with it but she is darkening upstairs and yellowing downstairs. I really should have just left her alone more.

Dead new growth above. Most likely just my butter fingers breaking something. Won't be surprised at all.

Fed Diesel, Purple and Lemon 1.45g per litre of MC and 0.4g per litre of SC. I expect this to be the highest MC dose I give. Its pretty much around 5.5g per gallon and even Monster auto plants grown by others rarely exceeds this dosage. Next feeding will include 0.13g per litre of Mother Monarch Bloom, while bringing down MC dosage to 1g per litre.

Interesting to note that I've not needed CalMag at all so far.

I look forward to observing the changes. Purple is furthest in flowering. Followed by Diesel and Lemon. Introducing Mother Monarch Bloom (MMB ) to all 3 at same dosage will be interesting, and can help me decide when to best introduce it next time.

I still stubbornly believe that Bud Explosion adds too much K to the MC base. Based on my limited knowledge gained last grow, they need more P than K during early to mid flower. Actually, I get the feeling that they have to be pretty much balanced throughout flowering but thats just me. MMB helps me do that when combined with MC. So lets see what MMB can do?

Group shot below

Below is Diesel and Purple respectively @Day 34 and Day 32, 10 hours after feeding. All seems good.

Lemon is at Day 34, also 10 hours after feeding.

Sour Hound did not get fed but growing very nicely and responding very well with training. Wished i had a healthy seed of this strain to begin with.

Lights are at 300W now and I'll be adding the 3000K board tomorrow. Hopefully, the fans and ratchets i ordered can reach sooner!

Just got both lights on at 265W per board. Might be overkill but lets check back in the evening.

Purple is seriously flowering now so just in time!

Man...they are drinking!

I've never had to water every 2 days. This morning, they were drooping and I thought I must have given them too much lights. Even the small ones aren't doing so well.

When I lifted the pots, they weighed very light. Now this could be due to the added biochar and slightly extra perlite. The dry spell is most likely a factor as last grow never seen anything remotely close to the dryness experienced during this last week.

Fed the 3 large girls with a repeat dose of 1.45g per litre MC and 0.45g per litre SC.

SH received 1g per litre MC with 0.35g per litre SC

Amnesia got 0.75g per litre MC with 0.35g per litre SC.

Also changed light settings. The 3000K board is at 300W directly on top of the 3 larger girls-Diesel, Purple and Lemon.

The 4000K board is at 200W on top of SH and Amnesia.

However, I moved Amnesia further from the footprint as I've kinda pissed her off as a seedling. This strain gave me my highest yield of 260g (very conservative) and I wanted to see if I can break the record with a similar phenotype? Whatever pheno she is, I messed it up. We'll see what she gives me?

Looking all good now...

Looking great @Equatorial , all very ready to explode... it can be really surprising how much they do drink, on my secound grow ever I had some auto's drying out 25ltr pots (soil) in 48hrs at their peak feeding.

These are 5 gallon fabric pots and they are no where near peak yet. Only Day 35-37. Will be interesting to observe further.

It might throw me off and I end up burning, screwing up PH or even kill them. Whatever happens, Im sure I'll be a better grower out of it. So lets just wait and see!

Thank you so much for dropping in buddy! Big fan of Slater's Garden!

Nothing like the basketball players you have in Dabberville!

Your presence will hopefully encourage my girls to grow like yours! Thanks for the encouragement bro!

I must admit @Equatorial you training is impeccable. Exceptionally well done sir I tip my hat they really are going to stretch into nice and wide canopy's... I was just rolling a doob ready for taking the dog for a walk and I was studying your girls and your handy work, I just had to say something... top job.
