Indoor Zaaboot has gone to pot 2022 auto spree

[Zaaboot]

Hello all, so the seeds are up except for one - the4 Mephisto seed came up then just fizzled and went brow - maybe to damp. I swapped that for a Mango Smile also from Meph.
Always boring at this stage, give em a week or so and they will get going in earnest

The water as always is 50/50 Ro and tap water. My starting nutrients this time is Root Tonic from Growers Ark, some PhycoMyco powder which was used when prepping the big pots so they will get bits of it as they grow, and a touch of Canna Start, E.C is at 1.0 and PH at 6.2, I am going to play this time raiing my PH and hovering between 6.2 and 6.4 to see if that makes a difference with anything.

Once going they will get their regular green haze A&B and drops of Monosilic.

Have a grand old day one and all

The ladies have all taken now and they are starting to take, a little slow this time but the change in light has created a bit of a headache - the light itself should really be used in 1.2m tent but I am in a 1m for now and with the added heat from teh drivers in the lung room, it has created a hot room - the temps have been 30 and above a couple of times this week. So, drastic action - my other light is about 150miles away, so today I shall drive down grab my other light and swap them over...what a faff, but if you dont try you dont know. In my view this light would be better suited to winter as it will heat things up with less use for teh radiators.

Another balls up, I forgot to add CalMag when I first washed my coco, so one of ladies has already managed to claim her first deficiency - yesterday I topped the res up with extra CalMag, stopped using Canna Start and started with the Green Haze Grow A&B.
E.C. is 1.0 for now - as the water is 50/50 RO/Tap I can sneak a little more nutrients in there than I otherwise would if pure tap. 15ml per 5 litres of Green Haze, a dash of Monosilic from GG, and root tonic from Growers Ark.
Shit the bed that stuff stinks - my regular seaweed extracts sit in a bottle of Remo Velokelp but as this was a freebie I am trying it out - the smell is ungodly, in fact it reminds me of those little stink bomb ampules the kids used to throw in the class to get a day off - utterly revolting - so it must be good! PH is currently at 6.4, this is the highest I have ever gone in Coco but the chap that actually makes nutrients for Growers Ark swears that a higher PH in Coco will be worthwhile - so against my better judgement and experience in this system I am sticking to 6.2 to 6.4 for this grow - for as long as I can remember I have always start at 5.8 and slowly crept this up throughout the grow to 6.2 tops...we shall see.

Finally the replacement seed came up - it is a 3BearsOG x Mango Smile from Meph - so it is a full house this run.

Top right - Glo F2 from Reiko-X
Top left - Mango smile x 3bearsOG
Bottom Right - Purple Punch Auto from SuperSativaSeedClub
Bottom Left - Afghan x Northern Lights from SuperSativaSeedClub

I suppose I am going to the land of hippies I shall have a nosey around whilst down there to see if there is any nice hash floating around as well - always worth a try.

Right then - drive on
have a good day one and all!
take care

Do you reuse your coco I just replace mine after each run as I use Canna coco/clay pebble mix directly out of the bag I was just curious

Same, every time I change it for new. I do see plenty of people cleaning, buffering and re-using, but pot be honest It looks like more faff than it is worth - nowt like a fresh bag

Hello all - went to london yesterday for Carnival. It used to be my favorite. ALAS, it sucked donkey balls, so many police, the barriers kept everybody in tight areas around the route and the side stands and music systems were no where to be seen compared to previous years.
The very worst thing is I lit a joint, along with everyone else there, and I got stopped by police. When I leave the house I tend to take ready made oneskin doobies with me - so I had made ten for teh day and put them in to a SMINT mint tin which is the perfect little doobie holder - it takes 10 perfectly. Anyway, 6 police to stop and search me in the middle of the street to take my dope from me - they took the joints and gave me a written warning - what the fuck! All this talk of no dramas for personal smoke around london - they took all my joints...6 bastard police to stop and search little old me, and as always there are stabbings and knife crime that was ignored as they spent the day confiscating peoples weed!

Anyway - these little ladies are coming along, a bit slower than normal, but to be fair I have been fighting the heat a little. I changed my lights over from the Par+ 480 to the HiKrop 360, with the 360 I can turn each bar on individually so I only had three of the six running for a few days to keep the temps in check. Today I put all six bars on so lets see.

Temps: 25 ---> 30
RH: 50-->62%
E.C 1.2 - Made up of Green haze Grow, Root Tonic, Calmag
P.H 6.4 - trying to hold it steady to see if it makes a difference.
res temp: 20

The runt is the Mephisto freebie 3bears x Mango Smile. The one on the bottom right is the Afghan xNL and is suffering from a bit of what I can only assume is calmag deficiency, I have added a little extra to the res but cant go to mad as they all drink from the same tank and the others look fine.

I do expect them to be a little further on at this stage but hey ho - it is no worries from my side, only this part of the grow is so drainingly slow.

Hav ea grand old day all

cheers

So then, if you remember a while back I made a bed to grow some veggies in, it was more of a grave - the soil was made up of everything and covered all winter to work its magic.
Anyway - my tomatoes have turned to trees and wont stop giving - I have been making sauces, relish, and just eating them - and I still cant get through them and the trees are full. They have all fallen down but are still producing - as I said at the time. Cannabis growing is the gateway to vegetables

Hello again, only meeee!
I trust you are all fine and dandy and keeping well.

So 13 days on and it is still a touch slower than I expect at this stage, I think the heat has been an issue for me this time from the start with temps regularly hitting 30 - controlling the temps is very easy normally, but with the warm spell we have had it has been tough and being unemployed right now I cannot justify turning on the AC unit for 10 or so hours a day to keep the temps in check. Anyhow, it does seem the weather is abating a tad and the temps have crept back to a sensible 25 at lights off and 27 at lights on - that I can live with.

The Mephisto seed is generally being a bit of a twat, 3 first leaves came and since then she has sort of sat around waiting for something - for what I am not entirely sure. Either way, nothing wrong with a runt, every now and then they will provide some superior freak buds...lets hope for a freak!

The two ladies from SSSC are doing OK, the Afghan x NL, did struggle with a lack of Calmag last week, but has since recovered and starting colouring up more evenly since an extra dash of Calmag went in to the res. The Purple Punch on teh other hand has been good, slow still but sh eis strong and I think it is visible he will end up a decent size lady, for now she is healthy so let's keep it that way.

Finally the seed from over the pond from Reiko-x this is teh fastest of the lot so far, looking at a diary with the Glo F2, it should not be a huge plat, but expecting some well formed nuggage with a very high CBD content which is always a bonus. For the keen eyed, you will have spotted I will always try to have a good 1:1 CBD:THC plant going to ensure I have daily CBD intake, I cant stand the commercial oils, and I find a good 1:1 is the cleanest way to get out of bed in the morning

some snaps from this morning

In fact looking back at older diaries I have done, my ladies tend to be a little slower to get going - essentially they are at about the same state my last plants were at at the same stage. The only difference, when they were about this old I went away for a few weeks, this time I am making a concerted effort to stay in or near home for the sake of the girls.

And just because I can't get enough of this stuff - here is a parting Predator pic (a few weeks curing now and the taste is really coming out - hints of strawberry, a bit of piss on the exhale - but an almighty strong smoke)

have a top day people

cheerio

Sadly have to agree - I will not be going again that’s for sure. A real shame as it used to be such a great couple of days
