New Grower First Grow - Cream Caramel

[SensiDilla]

First time using nutrients. 1/6 - 1/8 reccomended dose of BioBizz Grow.
I hope it reacts ok.
It did not really seem like it needed nutrients so I just gave it a very diluted dosage; just to start introducing the nutes a bit.
Day 24
A lot of growth in the last 3-4 days.

Day 28 (4 weeks)

Still strong.
The low dose of nutes did not cause any troubles.
It's just 1 of the 2, but they really look alike.


What do you think?
DOes it seem like I could get a decent harvest?

Bad News: unfortunately one of my cfl side bulb fell off my hand and slightly snapped 1 side branch of the other lady; not completely but still snapped. I put it back up as best as I could...they re really bushy it s getting out of control...having 2 of these in a 60x60 tent in 11 lts pots it s kind of tight; every time i move em I really need to be careful....I ll do only one next time and try to get a super harvest off 1 lol...

Started using Bio Bloom together with Bio Grow today Day 31. They re big, 70 cm each probably; lots of colas, really bushy. Was not expecting this; I need them to stop growing vertically. Hopefully by next week pictures gonna start look interesting.
Sorry no pictures today; next pictures on Friday, day 35.

also, the broken branch is slowing healing..

Day 35 - - Getting there!

As you can see the situation got slightly out of control, it is a jungle inside the tent.
Maybe I should have used smaller pots, but not much to do now.
Other than that I think is coming along pretty nicely; very healthy colour and vigororus growth. Also it seems like they reacted well to the first dose of bloom nutrients.
My only concern is that now that they are this big and the top has strecthed the main bulb won't have much penetration on the lower branches; which will be basically rely mostly on the side bulbs.

But anyway, don't want to add more power now; wanna finish with this budget.

I am using a large 125w 2700k bulb with reflector on top of the plant. Plus every corner of the tent has a 20w cfl. 205 watt in total for 2 plants in 60x60. Reflector on top, and reflecting tent material all around. I hope i ll get at least 1 oz.

New pictures next week!

Congrats, this grow looks like a bumper crop for you. Just ensure PH are always in range and not to overfeed with nutes. Nice effort!

Back on line...will post some photos in the next few days...

Day 47.

Seems like I am gonna have some decent harvest; I am hoping to get about 1 oz per plant. But I am happy with 20 g off each. The minimum I expect is 15 g each, less than that and I need a new strategy for my next grow.
So it's half way through week 7. This thing is supposed to finish in 8 weeks however I used 11 liters pots (that s why they are this massive) and by looking at other cream caramel grow my ladies are gonna need between 63 -66 days so 9 weeks or something. I hope to harvest them between the 20-25 of may.

The one on the right has a bit of advantage; buds are a bit larger and have a few orange hairs.
I guess if I had an HPS light instead of CFL this could have been an even better harvest for 2 plants. I think you could get easily 40-45 g per plant with a an HPS light and this size pots; this is a very vigorous and high-yielding strain, and I am just a beginner; an expert could really have a good harvest in 65 days from seed, not bad; I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

I started to raise the concentration of the nutes a bit as some leaves on the LHS plant started to yellow. I use 1 ml of bio grow per liter and about 1.5 ml of bio bloom per liter at this stage. I will be using 2 ml of Bio bloom next watering cos it seems like they need more, really want these flower to swell.

I ve been suggested to use black strap molasses. Anybody has any experience with that? I am a bit scared and not to convinced to be honest...

Obviously I've underestimated what CFLs can do.

Managed to borrow a pretty decent camera from a friend; learning how to use it.

Just a little appetizer for what is about to come...a little side bud...Very nice color, lots of orange hairs.
I am surprised both ladies were planted on the same day and always been pretty much the same. Now one has bee having orange hairs all over the flowers for a good week more or less while the other one has no orange hair at all; maybe it's just starting now; also much less swollen; it is slightly bigger doe, maybe 5-8 cm more. Will see what happens!
