I know it's getting late. I should be eating supper and watching TV but dg keeps enticing me with all her sugarry....,.is that even a word..... Goodness. I mean look at all that sexy. And she's just getting riled up.

Time to read the tea leaves folks. Me and #BU2B are thinking either zinc or maybe manganese deficiency most likely due to too high ph. My compost had a lot of seaweed added to it this spring and it was testing in the lower 8s the two times I did a slurry test. I had hoped the soil would buffer it but I think it may be too much. So I'm going to adjust the pH of the water to 6 for a few day and see if this helps.
check out the pics though the red coloring in between the veins has me stumped. It's on a small amount of the new growth of sour stomper but these are fan leaves off of double grape. Interesting. Opinions always welcome.

Day 49. So my compost tea was a little on the strong side as we can see from those lovely frosted tips on the leaves. But we greened back up nicely. Lowering the pH helped to I believe. Forum stomper has finally joined the budding party. She's doing her stretch now. Likely be a 100 day plant at her rate. Sour stomper has slowed her stretch and is filling out fast. Double grape has gone beast mode this past week . She is stretchy, frosty, and ohh soo delicious smelling. Gonna give them tea at half strength every other watering for now and see how they react. And some pics

What a difference a few days make with autos. Forum stomper has gone beast mode also and has started stacking on the sugar. First pic is forum stomper. Second sour stomper. And third the ohh Soo sexy double grape.

Day 56. Sour stomper and forum stomper are showing signs of calcium deficiency. I believe it's half the soil is running low and pH is too low .my fault on that as I usually try to go 6.5 at flower but I stayed at 6.25 too long. Mind that I did not amend the miracle grow organics soil with dolomite lime.my last run I did about 2/3 cup to the 5 gallons and did not have a problem. So if you use miracle grow organics give it some more calcium. Other than that I think it's great soil and a lot cheaper than some of the others. Now double grape did not care at all and is looking sexier by the day. Love her resilience.
I also cut the tea to 1/4 as I think there's too much nitrogen in it for them at this stage. Still a work in progress there. Other than that the ladies are looking good. Sour stomper is done stretching and is getting thick. Looking to be a 4+ ounce plant. Double grape is just just....... Friggin awesome. And forum stomper is stretching and getting hella frosty. She is my first run at anything girl scout cookies dominant so I'm kinda exited for her. Anyhew enough rambling. Here's some bud porn.

By the way north Atlantic seeds has all of these in stock atm. But don't sleep on them if you want them. They usually sell out within a few days.

So I did a flush on sour stomper this am. Don't like to flush but she's mature enough I thought it couldn't hurt. 7.0 water in. First batch out 5.5. wow. Second batch 5.8. third batch 6.1. ran 6 gallons of water thru the pot with some dolomite lime mixed in. Now we wait to see if she improves.

Day 61. The sugar on these plants is crazy. Sour stomper is going autumn on me. Still going to be ok but can't wait to see what she can do next time in a 10 gallon pot and I correct my pH issues. Forum stomper is getting stupid frosty.her and super sexy double grape are vying for the frosty crown. And some porn.

Brrrrrrr!

Giving the ladies and myself a drink then off to pick my persimmon tree. She's bowing under the weight this year.

#frosty

[Going2fast]

Now that is a big persimmon.

[BU2B]

My grandparents used to have one crab apple tree and one persimmon tree - but I've NEVER seen a persimmon that big. As far as I'm concerned the only thing either fruit is good for is jelly or jams - just too darn puckery!

Day 64. Good Saturday morning. Should be sitting in a tree right now but I am still unable to shoot my bow from my shoulder injury. Might go squirrel hunting later. Anyhoo ladies are getting fat and sassy. Sour stomper shut down for a few days after flush but she's getting nice and plump now. Think she may be ready around the 80 day mark. Pistols are starting to fade. Forum stomper has that golf ball nug growth and got super frosty this past week but not much smell to her at all whereas the others are loud af. She got some pH lockout scars but still think she will be a hefty haul. Double grape can't be hurt. She has shaken off everything and has to be the frostiest plant I've grown so far. I highly recommend her for her resilience and stable genes.

Great looking grow ya have. Nice to hear about small burps in a grow and a grower who does not freak out and ask 20xs about " burnt tips " a grower who's seen and read about these small issues with Ph or grow medium. Grow big and prosper keep the positive spirit growing

[Going2fast]

Thank you kind lady. Making mistakes is half the fun. Grow big and prosper to you.

Shit. Forgot to give them a drink last night. Double grape was pouting this morning.
