SOIL 5 years growing and loving it

[Ace1973]

it was supposed to be feminized seeds, in fact, this was the second male I found.

 

[Ace1973]

the article is accurate, you will find a lot of people on here with years of experience.

so to give some perspective, this is a cutting and not from seed. So it is three weeks old, very healthy and should in theory go through flower quicker than it's mother which was from seed. I have taken a cutting and shall make several others so I can get feminized pollen so I can have seeds, in fact this plant was a happy accident from another time, I have long since mastered colloidal silver treatments and have thousands of seeds, this one was a rarity.

so my girl is doing well at four weeks old...my pics are done during the dark cycle as they looked like shit during the light phase, as you can see Ric Flair is a frosty breed.

 

[Ace1973]

So I have little nitrogen deficiency that I am correcting right now with some regular grow nutes, otherwise my girl is healthy at five weeks and has shown some red pistils already. Ric Flair is a hungry plant and needs more nutes than most of my others. Going into week six is exciting, yet not week six yet, this is where I will see the buds grow substantially. I am using cal/mag 1 mL, Dyna grow bloom 2mL, and dynagor foliage pro 1mL.

You are too far into flowering, don't give them any more nitrogen.

 

[Ace1973]

I kind of figured that, even though it is five weeks, I gave a little, should not harm anything, looks like I only have about three weeks left with this strain anyways

 

[Ace1973]

this strain has a nice pace of growth, the buds are swelling and it is only six weeks old!

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Looking really good there. Fatten up gals like the rest of us in home confinement LOL

 

[Ace1973]

isn't that the truth, before long my girl and I won't fit out the door....laughing

 

[Sudsnbuds]

Stylin and profilin just like the nature boy. I think you did the right thing hitting it with nitrogen, don’t want it to go completely yellow deep into flower.

 

[Ace1973]

thank you both SoOrbudgal / Sudsnbuds, I really worked hard to keep this strain going, and I know it is a hungry strain that loves nutes. the first grow from seed did not go well, I tried a different soil that I should have amended and put perlite in, my mistake, I like the quick and easy, (fox farms happy frog), to doing it myself, the results are always nice, and thanks again I appreciate all that are watching.

 

[Sudsnbuds]

If you wanna be the man you gotta beat the man. Its cool that you were able to make a seemingly stable looking strain. I’d try to grow it outside.

 

[Ace1973]

someday i will grow outside, now is not the time as i have so much more to learn and understand.

 

[Ace1973]

day 49 or week seven of flower phase, getting near the end for Indica dominant hybrid, at most I still have two weeks left as the pistils are starting to turn rusty red and curl in. I have been feeding dyno gro bloom 3 mL and 1 mL of cal/mag all my feedings up until last week, last watering, last time I used water and have stopped feeding as I want her to start turning soon. so for the next 10 to 14 days I am using only water. I have used soft ties to keep my branches from leaning.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Love it great job Ace1973 those look great it's all going to happen soon, enjoy the fragrances

 

[Ace1973]

SoOrbudgal already getting a whiff now and it is making me pace with anticipation, it smells like pineapple and that strong pungent earthy smell with a little pine in the background.

 

[Ace1973]

I harvested last night, unsure of weight as of yet and will announce when done

 

[Sudsnbuds]

Looks good!

 

[Ace1973]
