REGULAR UPDATE
La Buena Hierba Asian Haze
DAY 117
Buds are coming along nicely. Only one small bit of rot and that was caused by a spider. Don't have many spiders since there's no prey bugs!
She didn't like the 47*F morning low this week. It took her a little longer to finish up the rez. It did add to her end of life fade a little. Still vigorous bud development. Colas are getting the heavy sway when shook or blown.
Weather on Wed. will take a bit of a downturn with humidity, but still good day temps ans mild lows in the 60s. Looks like the weather will be the deciding factor if rot tries to set in. I don't think it will with the coverage of the Phyter I maintain every other day. With these conditions, I don't feel safe letting it go for a longer period between spraying.
IF I get to let the trichs ripen well, I'm gonna take her at
some amber on the bud itself. Should make some REALLY good hash and I'm sure the rosin will be one of those 'hit ya behind the eyes' dabs. I noticed it really hit my auditory part of my brain. At first, I thought it was a fluke, so I packed my vape again with some of the little Haze. Same effect. Not racy at all. Should be a good day smoke. If I get the Elephant in, canna coffee with that for pain and some Asian Haze hash to keep me active.
I'll see tomorrow if she picked back up on her water usage.
Kinda on that water use..............I do think that EB girls do develop essentially two root systems where one mainly is for water uptake with the big fat roots and the other that is mainly for the uptake of nutes. Root structures are different. Roots in the rez are big fat roots and the nute roots are fine and thin.
I think this lets the girl uptake and find nute as needed. She's not
forced to uptake nutes while getting the water it needs that's driven by the VPD. I know I probably topdress too often, and I have been hitting that pretty heavy with nutes. and some hormones.........aminos,
J, SST, Blue Gold flower, brewed teas with kelp and alfalfa. To keep with this modded KNF and keep the two systems separate and nutes out of the rez, the liquid nutes are mixed with compost into a slurry. This helps keep nutes out of the rez. There's a pretty good sized bank with LOTS of nutes in it. Once I get both systems established, I continue to examine the root structure in the top layers. As the grow continues and the top dressings accumulate, the fine search roots don't make it to the surface like I've seen in my and others grow that don't develop the two root systems. And this is with top moisture levels high enough to support this. They begin to appear about a half inch down and it has been this way the entire grow. I think this supports my theory that the two root system lets the girl take the nutes it
needs at that point in it's life. The roots are moving into the topdressings as it
needs to do.
I might be totally of o this, but I think my observations back my theory.
Anyway.......This sure as hell wouldn't be possible without Phyter! I'm sure of that. This upcoming week will be a VERY good test
