Yer Blues

[Gingerbeard]

Play me.
3 weeks. Blue Razzberry from the fine yurt manufacturers and disco ball cleaners at G2F Yurt Manufacters and Disco Ball Cleaners.
These must be gonna be bushes. I cannot recall having the cotyledon, fan, and bud site all so close. Look at the up-close. See the extra something trying to grow out the cotyledon and next set of leaves up? All four plants have something similar.

[OldManGrower]

These will definitely be dense thick bushes which seems to be a theme in F2F's seeds. Lots of LST and defoliation in your future. Looks like a lot of fun to me. I just popped two of GTF's Hot Cakes.

[Gingerbeard]

Ooh-de-lally! I loved me my Hot Cakes! Diamond hard nugs covered in a crust of diamonds.

[OldManGrower]

Sorry, thick fingers and head. Should be G2F's. Credit should always be applied correctly and when due.

[dirtymike]

Those are looking nice. That is a odd growth pattern. Not alot of space between nodes. Keeping it short or is that the Strains way??

[Gingerbeard]

Genetics, I'm sure. Remember, it's a Blue Razzberry. We haven't seen these, yet. Like the Razzpergers.

[Gingerbeard]

Different plant.
The first one and three fingered fan leaves were removed because they were in the coco.
Up close, what looks like a flower node is coming from the cotyledon intersection: Fan leaf zero.

[dirtymike]

I didn't flush or buffer the coco (burpee) and the only perlite i could find wad MG, Pure poison. I'm on the right track now. Running late for a winter grow.

[Gingerbeard]

I read about the MGP. Doesn't get great reviews. The added plant food sounds enticing, but... not enticing.
Been using premixed for a bit. New lazinesses have since crept into my body. One of those lazinesses is not flushing premixed beforehand. Opting to just get it wet before planting. Haven't an issue with not preflushing.

[dirtymike]

Got canna coco, hoffman perlite, grow dots and recharge for the next grow.

[Gingerbeard]

Week 4.
The picture shows a little purpling that is not actually there. Before and after fan leaf defol. Already got that extra fan in the lower right plant.
Full veg nutes, half flower nutes. Next time is all flower.
Might gonna be shorties in this run.

[Gingerbeard]

Fan leaves growing from fan leaves?

[dirtymike]

great color, Bottom right is bushy. Not one tip burn. I'm envious

[Gingerbeard]

Too kind.
Alas, the tips do not show very well in the pictures. Until the calibration liquid gets here, I am using experience to work through a pH meter that is out of whack and they got some mis-pH'd nutes. The top, newest tips are lightish greenish.
Bottom two are the shorties. Each is about three inches shorter than the two in back. I slanted the light instead of going with bag lifters.

[PRIMO]

Yo Red! Gingerbeard Dunk your malfunctioning ph pen inna a cup of milk, it should read close to 7. Then you can adjust a lil bit up or down.

[Going2fast]

Looking good. They haven't started stretch yet but the buds will be THICK. Here's a pic of mine at 32 days next to black&blue same age. B&B is definitely pushing more sativa.

[Going2fast]

Oh and no defoil on mine. Boo hiss.

[Gingerbeard]

Boo hiss? Are you boo hissing me and my defoliation? Put four of your plants in 5-gallon bags in a 3x3 tent and revisit your jeers, brocket man.
Why am I defoliating? When was the last time you saw me come in here like one of these other peons with plant issues? It is because I defoliate and use fans, and I do those things well!
Boo hiss your face.

[Gingerbeard]

Oh, crap. Not peons. I meant well meaning newbies. How do I edit?

[Going2fast]

Forgot your tent size. My bad. Maybe try only 2 next time. Give um a little elbow room. Yield may be the same

[Gingerbeard]

It is a tradeoff between removing fans or removing buds the fans are blocking. Next week you won't be able to see the tent floor.

[dirtymike]

When you defol autos Gingerbeard do you do it only once??

[Gingerbeard]

First, I do what I did.
A continuing second is moving and tucking stem fans (?) below flowers and moving flowers around to the light.
Nothing else gets removed unless it grows into something else or will not stay tucked. I'm tossing the salad to show the croutons.
It looks like I'm going to have a few lower branches out-grow the main. That has happened on many of G2F's autos. Or maybe that's all autos. I don't know. Point is, they are keeping themselves fair even for an untrained canopy.
