So the girls were ready for a watering after two days this time instead of three. Been giving them two liters of water per feeding each time, and they seem to be drinking significantly faster each time. Last few waterings have been every three days. This means the girls are really starting to ramp up their flower production which is quite evident everywhere I look. I see nice prime bud spots starting to form and the node spacing so far is absolutely perfect, about 2-3 in node spacing. I can't wait to see how these girls do as the flowers start to fill in. I'm highly optimistic about the flower from this round. I think the fox farm trio just didn't pack the punch that these other more premium nute lines offer. Who knows, maybe I just don't know how to properly use the fox farm nutes, but for first time ever using megacrop, I feel like this is a far superior product.
Ok onto the nitty gritty. Today I backed off the megacrop by 1/gal so that I am running it at half strength, 2 g/gal. I also added in cal-mag for the first time as I started seeing some early signs of possible def in that area. Can't really hurt as it's almost impossible to od the plants on cal-mag. I figured the girls might need it as I have not pushed any cal-mag even though I'm using RO water, cal-mag and all the other goodies are stripped during the RO process for those that are not familiar. Megacrop has some in it and I also predressed my soil with calcium as an added buffer. I also upped the pk booster today and I'm running at .75 g/gal bud explosion, up from .5 g/gal last feed. I saw a really positive response last feed to the pk booster so I'm going to try and up it a bit. I will probably hold here at this 3/4 strength until full flower starts and then I'll start to push it a bit more. The girls are super healthy and I would say that they have about reached the size of my last zkittlez if not surpassed it already. It's crazy how a little bit of hands on experience and dedication can make the world of difference. It seems like this strain is relatively stable, as they have all hit preflower and are pushing into flower at the exact same time. The development is almost identical. Last round with my widows I noticed some deviations in the phenotypes of the two widows, but these girls are spot on with my last grow as well. Good job Seedsman on a nice stable strain! Well I'm rambling so I'm signing off. Check the pics and let me know what you think! Well til tomorrow!
