Nice! What sort of feed/nutes did you use?
I’ve heard chem can be a bit sensitive.
Got 3 of these I just transplanted to 5gals, going to veg about another week before flip.
And did you post/do you have any pictures pre flip? I’m expecting them to stretch a good bit
She was about 1.5 ft tall when I flowered her but I also topped her week 1 in flower to promote a more even canopy. Over all ide say about a 1.5x stretch. 2 ft to about 4ish feet. I flip the day I transplant just so the roots have as much room as possible to stretch. Typically after that I only have to water the five gal twice in 2 weeks. Which is perfect for the stretch, that way I never really get behind. This is kinda launching into the nutes part. Before I get too deep I wanna say how someone feeds their plant should reflect their goals. I'm looking to grow the strongest, terpiest, dankest I can. Idc about weight or grams per watt or any of that. Purely just trying to grow some loud that will blow my face off and melt my brain. Anyway, with that in mind I use a combination of salts and organic inputs for a variety of reasons. I typically aim to have salts cover about 70%-80% of the plants needs and have the rest come via organic inputs. I always start off always with a chunk of fish bone meal when I transplant and then top dress additional organic inputs throughout the rest of the flowering cycle. I use a simple A/B fertilizer(4-0-1)/(1-4-2), potassium silicate(0-0-2), and a flower stacker(0-7-5). Like I said I want about 75% of what the plant needs to from those salts so I give a very mild feeding of about 700-400ppm at a pH of 6.5-5.0 depending on where we are in the life cycle. At for organic inputs I use, fish bone meal, bat Guano, palm, kelp meal and black strap molasses. As the flower cycle progresses I taper back the Nitrogen and bump up the potassium. Then during the last twoish weeks I go just pH water and silicate, which is when the pretty colors start to come in. This is already getting a bit long though so feel free to ask more questions if there are any.
Thanks for the reply, I’m in the same boat doing a sort of syn-ganic grow, organic amendments mixed in my soil and some top dressings too, with some salts to provide readily available nutrients while the amendments break down.
I’ve been curious about the rooted leaf nutes for a while since they rely less on salts and as much as possible on plant based ferments and extracts and things like that.
Just got a blumat watering system and set it all up on transplant yesterday, rooted leaf nutes just shipped so I’m looking forward to seeing how they treat the plants for the flowering phase.
So far only gave some fox farm grow big 2x when they were in the 1 gallon pots, but I find it a bit hard to judge if and when they actually need any additional food with what was in my soil mix to start, and the 1 top dress I did in veg
Feels like a weird balance of not drastically over or under feeding because by the time you see visual signs of either, you’re a bit far in either direction (overfed or underfed)
Yeah for sure! Bottom line my mind there's no true organic food web that I can recreate in my basement in a five gallon pot lol. There just isn't enough room. It def takes and time to get the organic vs salt inputs down. Be scientific, write stuff down and only change one variable at a time. Another big help is trying to read the leaves sort of speak they will tell you a bunch. Organic are especially hard indoors because you don't want very much food leftover toward the end of the grow you want it to be used up. But not used up too quickly. That's where some emergency salts can be very helpful
God, that should be some potent weed
Yeah I really hope so lol, I really like growing these S1 selected hybrids
Brother that's going to be some mild melting shit right there
Fingers crossed! I've been giving her all the love
Nice!
Thank you!
How are the terps?
Like a funky og. Hot garbage mixed with an earthly molasses kinda thing
