I agree it is a heavy feeder. And the nutrients needs to be available at the right time. She may do better in freedom farms with the biobizz range of nutrients.

Ya any bottled nutrients and a fresh bag of soil. Not my type of genetics

The Chems are a super fussy plants and in my limited experience with them take long to finish. Mine has been going for 11 weeks now and I cannot see a Amber trichome.  

The only way I can see this type of plant performing well in my grow style is if I ran it a couple of times to get used to the soil.

The plant needs a lot of available nutrients at the moment, which my system just cant supply. 

Update time, dark Phoenix are doing good, Chems are also doing much better, the bugs have seemed to slowed their attack. 
 

not interested in the Chems going forward though. Maybe they will be a nice smoke, and some outside pics.

We are limiting this year’s entrants to a reasonable amount that can be judged in one day. Should 
your cultivar be selected, we will need a minimum of 50g by 15 March 2023. With at least one epic

one vote.

What's up man!

OK, I just got one question. I don't have any pictures of the buds I'm possibly keen on choosing for the comp just yet as I've just got 8 clones vegging and I'm looking at planting another 10 seeds or so. This is so that I may have enough strains to choose from and then decide which I want to enter. 

This is all going to happen quite close to the entry close off dates, Can I give you a possible list of strains I might enter? And then choose 1 closer to the time? Also with no pictures?  

Nice growth happening. I wonder if the LST pushes the autos to perform a little harder.

Just think about your plants as a similar image above and below the soil, the root system is about r the same size as the plant, those plants are still developing their taproot.

I now have 3 new seedlings!. 2@3days old and 1@2days. I made sure the Coco was nice and moist when I planted them and haven't watered since!. The cups are light ish but the coir is still moist.

I am now entering my twilight zone!. This is when I seem to fk up!. Scared shirtless of when to water next?. I've used clean 7 ph water up to this point. When you say 'super dry' would that be also for my new girls,....... ?.

When do think I should water them and with what? ie; just plain 7 ph for now or + diluted nutes @ 6.3ph?. 

I'm sorry for the questions but do need some guidance regarding feeding frequency of seedlings. I've drowned so many now already...... it's sad!.

Have a lekker weekend.

 

The cups still look ok the moist side, I would leave them for another 2/3 days, try remove some soil from that overflowing cup, that will make problems, they should be At the level of the first cup in the pic

Mo fire!!!!

Cheers, that's ample time.  I will enter thanks.

You were the first with a result of 15% coming for testing.. want to mention that too. So you do things rather right...  

Thanks my bro! Appreciate the kind words, just enjoy gardening for the most part
 

Gave the plants what they needed, let’s see how they progress, thanks again

Got three Brix test and results are here for any interested eyes.

Dark Phoenix no. 1 - 15 ; front right;

Dark Phoenix no. 2 - 12 ; back right;

Chem d no. 1 - 9 ; front left;

will be employing further feeding, but not much. Maybe a little molasses right Mr @Prom 

So here we are with the results and a good chat with Mr Prom. 
 

Will correlate these in my grow diary with the plants. 
 

Cheers brother man! 
 

Onto week 4/6 respectively,

Dp’s are shinning here, keeping both phenos and running em again. 

Chems are going in the trash, my first thought and I’m sticking to, is that they don’t like soil, which is not the end of the world, but is a great recipe for attracting pest, namely thrips which I’m sure about now. 
 

let’s see if we can get them to the end some how 

Hello Mr @Prom nice one, I like your practices  
 

I think I can take you up on this offer, I would like to know how that number looks now in middle and towards the end of flower. As my plants are in week 4/6 respectively 
 

I would ask for 2 sample please, and thank you,

Loving the weather these days 

Yes you can start feeding them, I wouldnt add any calmag just yet, but some veg nutes. and only when the cup is super dry. do a 1/4 dose, really they don't need more. 

and once youve made 1/4 strength nutes water 5% of the cups volume with it.

Looks like my organic tent! Had to double check what thread I'm in 

It is the same tent, these light house tents are really not bad at all. Very decent quality 

So here we are on week 3 and 5. The plants are doing a lot better since the Defol last week, they will probably get trimmed again this weekend. 

The Chem definitely has a pungent gas, piney type smell. And it stick to you, stem rub will stick around for the next couple of hours even after a hand wash. 
 

The Dark Phoenix is much on the sweeter side, with faint Floral and citus notes, but the leaf structure is quite indica ish, not the branching. So it looks pretty cool. Got her to stack decently which I’m also happy about. Also she has a couple of orange pistols, so let’s see how she progresses

1 Pluto cut female auto, decided to plant at the worst time, cold and rainy, fortunately we have a survivor

Bushy big tent, gave it its first proper trim. Still have to setup the net 

Before

 

After

 

Smaller tent is approaching harvest time. I'll push it to the last week of this month at least. I am really liking the stacking on this round of the ZxP. I feel I've got a good idea of how many branches to keep for optimal growth. 

 

 

Are you using leca for the whole pot now? must say man. You are dialed in there!  Nice onE! Buds look fanfuckingtastic!

It came out with a nice fade and quite frost

Oh yea, that space is filling up nicely! I hear ya about keeping up on the defol! Hopefully it will stay around 30c max!?
..Perhaps the powerful fans will help.

Thanks for noticing … a little time and a little love, things happen. 
 

I kinda had to figure out the best way to approach it having very different types of plants in the same space but I’m happy so far. 

yep all fans on full speed ahead, if you can hear something resembling jet turbines in the area, no need to be alarmed, I’m just growing some weed

Week 4 for the DP and week 2 for the Chems, they both got their second top dress last week about, Temps are starting to rise. 
 

about 30 at the peak, so hopefully we can get through without any Pest/mold issues 

first 3 images is before the Defol, usually wait for 3 weeks or 4 but the bushyness was encouraging pm 

The Chems are on probably their 6th Defol, they make alot of leaves dammm. 
 

And on to the next couple

keep it green growmies

Sure the aircon can raise ryhe temp, when the sun isn’t doing it’s job, in summer
