Sorry for any confusion. My current grow was cloned from my friends plants which I helped him chop yesterday afternoon. I only hope my final result is close to this nice. I will be flipping soon but I can’t take credit for these. Previewing the bud structure of this strain to document for comparison when mine are ready.

I didn’t believe my pH meter as the mix before adjusting usually reads 6.5 using my tap water and Jacks. It was reading 5.9 and 1.93 from my separate ec meter. I cleaned and calibrated both then retested and got the exact same results :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes::+1:
I got a little sidetracked this week and didn’t keep up with fertigating. The bigger girls pot was not completely dry but pretty light so I decided to flush both Thursday night. One gallon each of 50/50 peroxide pH adjusted followed by 1 1/2 gallons each of pH adjusted plain water. Resumed feed the next morning, about 3 quarts each at 5.8-1.93. There seems to be some lightening of the upper leaves and tops on the big girl. I am not going to flip just yet. Need to see some improvement first. They are going to get a gallon each of 965 ppm/5.8 after I finish writing. Thinking might have lost some of the fine hair roots from dry coco. Also I don’t use cal mag since switching to jacks going on the assumption that the part b and the tap water would suffice. I use the kootmed standard rates not the mag boost epsom measure.



I can tell the difference between new growth light green and what I’m looking at today. Looks like the beginning of yellowing and I think it shows in the margins of upper fans. Sorry it ran long. Wanted to give proper, complete details if I’m going to bring it up. Not a shout for help but anything anyone wants to contribute is welcomed and appreciated. Keep warm.

What was the reason for peroxide?

I’ve only heard of using it for possible root issues

I think your flush would take care of any worry about the light colored leaves, just see how it goes from here IMO

Hope you’re doing good, plants look healthy

Mold prevention and root health. Trying to head off potential issues not reacting to any. There has been some fuzz trying to get started on the surface here and there that I haven’t mentioned this run. I only let it percolate for about five minutes before finishing with the clean water flush. Not the first time that they have gotten that treatment so I’m not overly concerned, just noting the cause and perceived effects. I think it’s going to bounce right back but keeping my eyes on it. I did the over irrigation flush feedings just a little while ago so the medium should be reset to the happy spot. I’m going to my happy spot now on some keif. I’ve done what I can. Rest is up to God. Just gotta increase the volume per feed and stay on schedule and should be good. If not, try again.

And they’re fine. There was no further progression towards yellow. She is looking a little fuller now too.




Stick is also growing back out pretty well considering I’m feeding that one at half strength. I’m still debating whether to set up a spot to keep her in veg or just leave in the tent when I flip. Haven’t heard anything about the clones yet but they looked really good last week when I gave them away so I’m thinking the mother plant has served the purpose already. That’s all I have for now. Have a great week everyone.

I did some more trimming today but didn’t take any before pictures. Started with the big girl taking leaves from the center underside and working up then outward. Next thinned out even further removing little tertiary branches from the shade zone. Looks full and dense in the overhead view but has plenty of airflow opened up now.



Stick got a major trim over the weekend and resembling a little tree now.

After a few more days of recovery time I will flip.
Hopefully things improve for a couple of friends here. Everyone try to have a good week and weekend.

Last year I was helping trim a harvest and started making a little ball with the finger hash and keif on the rim of the trim bowl. This turned into let’s make a couple large temple balls with the trimmings keif. The one that was made with the first sift run was forgotten about for six months and changed during the cure from a hard plastic like texture to a soft homogeneous dark amber goo that is just locked in the terpenes and really pops the top off. Since I’m responsible for putting the idea in his mind I was given the job of rolling more when the current batch was ready. Ended up with three totaling just shy of 100 grams.



It was a very good evening. Gets me excited about my clones from these. Probably won’t get the deep purple to come out on mine but should be fire nonetheless.

Have a great weekend everyone.
