STONINGTON BLEND- It doesn't get any easier than this- I HOPE

[Weed Pharma]

Will she make it another 4+ weeks to estimated harvest?- She's mellow yellow now.

Still has white hairs, but I suspect they will turn amber this week and the count down will begin.

Plan: just water it

 

[SoOrbudgal]

She sure is using all her energy up great looking colas.

 

[Weed Pharma]

A ragged looking plant- especially under the LED- that said- the buds are filling in and are hard as a rock.

The trichomes are mostly cloudy with little clear or amber showing.
To be checked over the weekend.

plan: Just water it

 

[Weed Pharma]

It's still alive- drinking usual amounts 3 times a week, approaching the 10 weeks of flower time mentioned by seedbank.

Very few white hairs of new growth.
The trichomes are cloudy and hint of amber in some spots- maybe another week.

Plan: "Just water it"

Nice buds. Question - I was in the hospital for 10 days unexpectedly, I was 2 weeks from flipping to 12's, they all died due to lack of pH'd water. Need to start over as soon as I'm up to it, got a new bag of SB today. Did you add 20 or 25% perlite? Are you adding cal-mag next grow or staying with KISS? Thanks.

 

[Weed Pharma]

I did not add anything to the Stonington Blend but, I will be adding Cal/Mag to the water.

 

[Puglover1]

OK, Thank you for replying.

 

[Weed Pharma]

Harvest Success!! with "Just water it" grow.



Yield looks OK- we will see when it drys. I will post the dried weight.

Ragged looking buds- discolored- but trichomes were all cloudy. This plant is for making oil and loose leaf capsules-so OK.

It started drinking less.

Stem does not show Calcium issue (not hollow).

 

[Puglover1]

Are the buds still tight, hard? Looks like a nice auto yield. Because of the lost grow and low inventory I'm going to grow two autos in the SB that never made it to flip. I might be a total copycat and buy two drip rings, no more legs going numb while sitting cross-legged on the floor. If I got a taller faucet for the guest bathroom sink I wouldn't need to carry gallons of water from one end of the house to the other. Might as well put a faucet on my 'holiday deals' shopping list - K.I.S.S. as possible.

 

[Weed Pharma]

The yield was 63.7g - lower than the usual 85-90g.
The buds were dried fast, as they will be decarboxylated this weekend. (the humidity of the jarred buds is running @ 57-59% and will be burped daily until then).

The buds structure was more like an outdoor grow, larfy.
The aroma from the buds was simply amazing. (a bit of a surprise!)

The next grow- I'll add Cal/Mag to each watering and provide nutrients begining week #4.

TO BE FAIR- Coast of Maine recommends feeding - before flowering approaches and plants did show nutrient issues, at that time during the grow.

For a" just water it" grow- I'm pleased with the results.

 

[Weed Pharma]

ADDENDUM: follow up grow 2023

I decided to place about 1/2 Stonnington blend at the bottom of a 5 gallon container and top up the container with Roots Organic Original.
Adding Si and Cal/mag with very light grow nutrients. (weekly).

Just beginning to stretch and the plants look great. (3 weeks above ground)

I provided the Bloom nutrients, as suggested by Stonnington- no signs of nutrient issues.

While its not a "just water it" grow the results so far, are great.

 

[3Berries]

I like to pluck a couple leaves off, if easy it needs calcium if hard then it's OK.

 

[Mr.furley]

Very nice follow up, good to see you @weedpharma

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Great seeing you again Weed Pharma good luck with your grow. I feel so old LOL

 

[Weed Pharma]

Going very well @18" tall. I would like to see another week of stretch, but uncertian it will happen.

The plants look better than the all Stonnington grow.
I estimate plants are about the 1/2 way mark for this grow.

 

[Weed Pharma]

No additonal stretch, but stacking nicely- I estimate about 5 weeks till harvest.

Light defoliation removing only spent leaves and those large leaves blocking the buds.

Taking in average-more water than usual-every other day. A good sign.

Last bloom nutrients given and will just water going forward.

 

[Weed Pharma]

Harvest in 2-3 weeks?

<Tangiematic

Mexican Airliner

Onyx

All autoflowering- just starting to drink less water.
This grow I increased water frequency to every other day and the plants look great.

The longer I can be patient- the more yield they will produce.

I harvest sativa with some amber and indica at least 10%.

-Easy Grow-

 

[Weed Pharma]

Likely ready for harvest around July 4th.
Possible candidate for a STAGED HARVEST (see below) for more yield -as lower buds have new growth (white pistils).

Although I don't think it makes a difference- I lowered the lights for the last 2 weeks.

Very little work put into this grow !

 

[SoOrbudgal]

That's how it should be the more you grow the easier it gets. Those are some fat colas you got from the love you gave them.

 

[Weed Pharma]

Approaching the "harvest window"- The Mexican Airlines showing plant stress (see bud top) from being in the light overlap (center) postion in tent.

moved to the end, so under just 1 light-

Tangiematic- looking fantastic (anyday now).

Watering amount has dropped on all plants by about 1/3- so I know its getting close.

Trying not to get impatient.
