Look at her go!! I'm glad I gave up on the synthetic GH Trio nutes. All of August she just kept getting worse and worse. She wasn't growing. She was just stuck in one position for 2 weeks. Since I gave her my organic blend about a week and a half ago, she's really come back to life so I feel safe with putting her in bloom. I did take a cutting of the nicest branch...... Just in case. I been there before where I found a unicorn and didn't/couldn't save the genetics. She's blooming up some nice seeds in my dad's house lololol but she smells lovely!!! That's why I'm going to give her a chance. It's a fun side project and who knows maybe I'll have a 🦄. If not, then it's a bit more variety for my stash.
The purple punch is starting to really flower up. She's drinking about 3L of water every 2 days. By the looks of the time lapse videos I've been taking, the stretch is finally slowing down. Just in time. I'm running out of net on 3 sides. Another few days and I'll defoliate her a bit to expose all flower sites I can. I'll also give her the first flower nutrient top feed. Some Flower Power from Nature's Living Soil, as well as their Soil Revival...... Mainly for the fungus gnat infestation going on right now. It has the bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis that kills the gnat larvae plus more beneficial microbes to get that top dressing broken down for the plants. A dash of kelp meal and water it in with fulvic acid and a little bit of molasses too get the party rolling. Oh and of course the worm castings I got from Build a Soil. And that's about it. That will hold me over for 2-3 weeks and I'll top dress again. I don't want to add frass, neem seed or alfalfa because of all the nitrogen. The flower power has all the different organic based P-K ingredients like fish bone meal and guanos, seed meal and phosphorus converting bacteria innoculants. The plants have always loved it.
​​​ As long as the pH keeps cooperating like it has been so far with the Coco, it's going to be a really really nice grow!!
The seedlings in the Coco are not looking any better..... They've grown a bit since I put them on the heating mat but nothing to run home about. It's day 15.... So they're not even contenders. Just a learning experience. The good news.... The ones I planted in the soil, have sprouted. Probably can't see them in the picture past all the condensation in the bag. The Tangie is already visible. The blue dream is just a raised mound of soil. The other blue dream that I planted in the soil might actually make it. She really perked up. I think she's in day 9 and is getting her first set of 3 pointed leaves. It's a bit behind but not terrible. There's hope for her. She's in a much better place than her siblings.
The 2 seedlings I'll keep on the mat set to 78° for the first 3 days of life then I'll turn it off and let them harden up over the next week or so before I bury the whole basket in the Coco that's all mixed up, ready and waiting. A bit behind schedule but if these sprout before the week is up and they make it.....I should still be able to have it dried and cured at least 2 weeks before Christmas. That's the goal. I'm looking at having 8-10 different cultivars in my personal stash!!
The Bruce banner is only 2 days into dry. Nothing to really say except every time I walk into the room IT SMELLS AMAZING!!!! The Bruce will be ready by the beginning of October so 3 more weeks!!! The gorilla glue has 1 more weeks before I can sample it but I'll probably give her 2 weeks before I actually sample it. I can wait not as hype about it like I am with the Bruce banner..
Well that's all the updates for now. Happy Growing!
