Overfertilization or potassium deficiency?

[Waira]

yeah, I saw,.. "auto's" ... you take your risks with uncertain breeders mate, and even then, sometimes a freak throwback photo' pops up, we've seen it many times here! So, yes, up the dosage to half again as strong as you are using now, and wait a couple days to see how they respond,...

Hey Guys!
Yesterday I noticed a strong smell for the first time... I felt soo happy and kinda satisfied :smoking:
I got the feeling that they are going to explode the next days

Today I'll have to water them, I'll add 7ml Biobloom on 1l water.
I'll also add a little pinch of magnesium sulfate.

I'll let you know about the progress!

Big Thanks!!!

All the best

And yes, I won't take the risk of unreliable breeders for the future.

Hey Guys, just wanted to give you a little update.

Last 4 Weeks I gave those beautiful ladies 10ml BioBloom / 1ml BioGrow and a pinch of magnesium sulfate on 1 1/2 liter water.
I also added 8 drops of lemon juice per liter to reduce the ph to ~6.5.

Plant no1 was going nuts on producing flowers one week after first post. She looked healthier but the leaves didn't recover anyways... but it definately didn't get worse.
Plant no2 grew some hermaphrodite bananas. When I noticed, I just clipped those sacks off.

Plant no1 got some pretty big buds overall and smells sooo divine. Almost everey sprout is strapped to the bamboo because the buds got too heavy

Plant no2 got a very big headbud, but many popcornbuds with many leaves all over.

I guess they will be harvested within the next 10 days. I'll start to give only clear Water from today.
About 70% of the trichomes are cloudy, if the Babies show some amber trichomes I'll harvest them to get a nice high

Are you as surprised as me about those beautiful buds??? Really didnt expect this.


So far, all the best and big thanks!

nicely done mate! You stayed the course, made smart adjustments, and now come the rewards! --- Buds look damn good too ... have you read up on harvesting timing, drying/curing and all that? trich's go clear--> milky (max ripeness)--> then to amber, usually, not always, or at least not before the bud is well past prime!.. amber happens when THC starts to breakdown into CBN, a very narcotic-sleepy cannabinoid, so mind that as you aim for the buzz you want from them,.... Oh, with organics, no need to cleanse-- a period of just plain water,.. harvest when you like, just let them dry out some before harvest to push the resins/terps a bit, and lower water content some,.. they'll dry faster and better!

Hey Waira, nice to read from you!

Yes!! I'm some kind of proud about my endurance and my patience, the result is much nicer than I had ever expected from my first grow

Sure, I read a lot about it, but thx for your tips! I'll let them dry out for 1 or 2 days before harvest.
Sadly it's not possible too turn off the lights because of low temperatures and high humidity in the night... I'm pretty scared of budrot and mold.

If I understood right, I have to harvest them when they're all milky to get a strong head-high.
If I want some proper chillout-weed I gotta harvest them when most of the trichomes are amber.
To get a nice mix I'll chop them when all trichomes turned milky and some turned amber.. right?

The breeder says that this strain contains much CBD.
So... does this mean the strain contains much CBD when the trichomes are cloudy -not amber-, too?

All the best

... yes, I take most of my plants at about 5-15% amber,... some ambering will continue during dry/cure as well,... The CBD content seems to generally follow the THC content during ripening, from what few information bits I could find, but doesn't not degrade into CBN,... and how much CBD actually gets produced is a variable thing,... keep in mind, CBD has a moderating effect on THC, effectively lowering the "high ceiling", meaning how heavily the buzz hits,... of course, there's all the positive medical benefits that come with it, and it adds it's own nuance to the buzz,.. I'm just saying higher CBD content will not get you the ferocity of buzz that lower CBD/high THC content does... :smoking:
