Update Day 20 MedCzech's ManCave BioTabs grow...
Environment is holding steady with no issues at all;
Temps around 26-28C
RH around 50-60%
Great air circulation
Here is a little shot of my fan leaf garden to start you off.
Open wide...
Looks more impressive in photos than it really is. Everything is green, but growth is slow and under growth is weak. Nothing robust looking about these plants. Either no light or no food, and now we know it's not light. I think my soil isn't active enough yet and they just aren't getting enough food. When I water next, I will give it some orgatrex and Bactrex as well as a small top dressing of Silicium Flash to try and boost the growth. I don't want to over use boom boom in this case, as I want to promote root growth as well.
Still learning...
The runt is still a runt...almost no secondary growth at all, that means no buds...she has a lot of catching up to do, and I am starting to wonder if she will make it with any real yield at all. You never know, she does look green anyway. Looks like and underfed day eight plant, not day twenty...
Purple Nuggets is the only plant that even resembles something ok in my book. Her undergrowth I said almost too fast to overtake the main cola and the growth itself is weak and small. Looks good though.
Sour Livers...nice and green, very little undergrowth and overall just small. I hope this is all just because I screwed up the lights and they got stunted. Let's hope they will recover somehow and actually grow buds, not just a few pretty green, weak leaves. Not really happy as you can tell from my tone and words here. I was expecting more robust growth by this time.
I am patient though, so I will continue to follow the plan and see where this grow takes me. I guess if this is going to be a ninety day grow, then we look good for twenty days in...that's one way to look at it.
Ok, fine I will move on to the next girl...
Orange Biscuit. I know she could be bigger, because I just grew her and she was at least twice this size with chemical nutes, and that Grow wasn't perfect either with the water troubles I had.
PineApple Express has these staggered, twisted leaves, weak undergrowth. Like I said, either no penetration from the light or no enough food for robust growth. Something lacking for sure. I think the light is good now. If I lower them, they immediately show signs of light stress, and you can see the leaves are excited enough in most of them now.
All of this going into the database for sure.
Gorilla Glue looking good,...not. Just a little plant right now, not sure if these babies will get going like I want or not. The undergrowth is just not there, and that's where the buds come from. A late blooming tent may be evident.
Another overhead shot for giggles...
I know you will all say they look great, and they look nice on photos yes, but when you examine them up close, you would see what I see. Weak little plants that look nice for day 12, and even then the undergrowth is weak. They are all fan leaves only...
I am considering using a different light that might trigger some better growth. I will give them one more day I. This position to see what happens.
Purple Nuggets here. The undergrowth is better, but still very weak and not actually producing bud sites anyway. If this thing goes into flower this week, the yield will be very low indeed. Let's hope she holds on for a week or two before that happens and she can catch up a bit.
Sorry for the not so great news. All looks green at least. Let's hope this soil will start firing up these ladies and get something going.
Thanks for stopping in.
