6 weeks (Day 42) Mild defoliation (5-6 leaves) in lower canopy that were blocking and not serving any purpose. So far just has a mild, minty/sweet smell to it. Sorry for poor pic quality, I'll try to take it out and get better pictures tomorrow
How do you guys think she's looking as far as harvest goes?? Is there any way to guesstimate what I should yield? Let me know your guesses lol
Looking good! It’s tough to guess from a picture on the yield. I can tell this plant has the potential for really fat round buds. Have you tried adding mbp as a top dress yet. That will really make the buds swell, and now is the time to add it. Cheers Os
Try a couple tablespoons per plant. Mix it with some casting if have em. Put a thin layer on top and water it in. Cheers Os
I was doing my own research and came across this. Great read: Malted Barley Explained By Clackamas Coot
That's the Bible on mbp. Couldn't use a better reference. If there is a beer brewing supply store in your area that is the best option. Its anywhere from a buck to two bucks a pound, so its cheap. cheers os
Thanks buddy. Last question, do you buy it as "powder/flour", or do you grind it yourself... I read that grinding it yourself maintains more of the good shit in it but idk
Day 45: Top dress with 2 tbsp MBP, 1 tbsp fish meal, 1 cup of worm castings, and watered in with dechlorinated water. Clipped a couple more low hanging/fading leaves. Thanks @Organic sinse for the suggestion, can't wait to check back in a week or so and see what the MBP does for these little buds.
What have you got her growing amongst there brother? That looks incredible, like a little flower green soft bed for her to grow in
Soil composition is 1/6th sphagnum peat moss 1/6th coco coir 1/6 worm castings 1/6 organic compost 1/3rd perlite Amendments: Fish meal Crab meal Neem seed Oyster shell Kelp meal Gypsum Azomite Clover mix cover crop Started with 20 red worms, probably more now. Top dress with worm castings and fed compost tea at week 4 (compost, worm castings, black strap molasses) This week top dress with malted barley, fish meal and worm castings. Trim cover crop and water every 3-4 days Goal is harvest this one, add a little compost and worm castings, and then pop another seed directly into this pot.
I did only run the "veg" switch during first 4 weeks. I think they may have hindered me a little. Next plant I will try to run both veg and bloom switches on for entire life cycle
Week 7 (Day 49) No changes in my routine. Got a compost tea brewing now that I'll feed tomorrow. Buds starting to swell up and more trichomes appearing. Starting to notice a more "weed smell" but mostly masked with a sweet, fresh scent
