Grow Mediums Olderfart does solos

[St. Tom]

They are on a combo of AN Connoisseur Coco grow and bloom. They probably should be on straight bloom a and b, but I didn't have the heart to toss the reservoir of nutes. They will get more combo for a while, then I will put them on straight bloom.

The AN nutes do not control the pH at the ~1100-1200 EC I am using, so I have to pH it, which is even more of a PIA than with normal nutes because adjusting the pH seems to be resisted by the buffering. Or so it seems to me anyway. This will be my one and only excursion into the AN world. The expense might have been worthwhile for solo grows if the pH worked, but not for me when it doesn't.

Thanks for checking in on my solos @St. Tom, I confess I have been wondering what you would think. You have the solo game dialed!

You should be really proud bro

You should be really proud bro

Thanks @St. Tom, coming from you, that is really nice to hear. Early days yet, but I think I have them on track now.

 

[Olderfart]

Thanks for the reps @St. Tom and @Cave Dirt Cody, much appreciated. No one here has grows that I enjoy seeing more than yours!

Here they are at Day 39, first up, the Canuk Auto PK, the biggest girl among the 4:

Just for shits and giggles, I pollenated one branch of this girl with 24C pollen from earlier mischief in this grow.

Next up, Mephisto 4 Assed Monkey:

And last up, two Dinamed Auto CBD Kush x Dinamed Auto CBD:

All these girls have suffered a bit while I have tried to sort out the automatic irrigation. And, the RH in the drobe is not ideal for them, but I am not going to go higher because of the finishing plants that might develop bud rot.

Happy soloing peeps.

Here they are peeps, still trucking, more or less.

The much emptier drobe as a whole:

The big girls have all been chopped except for the three pollenated branches, two in the 24C pot front right, and one in the Fugue State pot, rear right. The solos are Mephisto 4 Assed Monkey front center, Canuk Auto PK rear left, and two Dinamed Auto CBD Kush x Dinamed Auto CBD rear center and right. Just for shits and giggles, I pollenated one branch of the Auto PK with 24C pollen. Might make another good sleepytime strain. I'll test with a solo or two in the next grow. A wee bit o' pollen chucking by OF. Never thought I would see the day.

Individual portraits start with Canuk Auto PK:

Next up, two Dinamed cbd crosses:

And the last and prettiest, the Mephisto 4 Assed Monkey:

That's all she wrote for now peeps, happy soloing all.

The girls in their newly cleaned up 'drobe:

Miss Mephisto 4 Assed Monkey:

The two Misses CBD crosses:

And last and tallest, Miss Auto PK:

All still packing on the bud in spite of earlier challenges getting the fertigation sorted. They now get a drink once every two hours between lights on and lights out.

The rest of the setup is: 20/4, Day temp 26C, night temp ~23, RH ~55%, PPFD at tops ~500, AN Coco bloom nutes at ~900EC, pH~6.

Happy soloing peeps, and thanks for checking in.

The pics on Saturday were not that good, so here are the girls today. First up, Canuk Auto PK:

She is the tallest of the bunch, pretty much done getting taller now.

Next up, the two CBD crosses (Dinamed Auto CBD Kush x Dinamed Auto CBD):

The two CBD girls are slightly different phenos, one a tad darker coloured buds, but both packing on the bud.

And finally, the queen of the solos, the Mephisto 4 Assed Monkey:

She is packing nicely, and should produce well. Here is a bit of cola porn from her tallest cola:

She is a frosty girl.

Thanks for checking in peeps, and happy growing.

Still putting it on, so it will be a week or so yet for the CBD and PK girls, and a bit longer for Miss Monkey.

Happy soloing peeps.
