Day 99: 31/46
Oh shit, nice catch Trichomes in their infancy! Can’t wait to see how the flowers form on this Kush variety, I always love the look of Kush flowers
Really great pics! Best trichome pics I’ve seen where I, with the aged eyes, can actually SEE milky vs clear!!! WOW!! I mean, REALLY great pictures Eric!
That’s pretty sweeet… interesting find!
Plant is looking awesome btw
Hi Eric,
Just curious when you stated you are going to cut back on additives. Which additives did you cut back and by how much or what dosage did you go from to if you don’t mind me asking? Looked at full grow buds look amazing.
Adrien,
I am going to cut down or stop using Bud Candy. Also not going to use Revive anymore after the cap started growing mold less than a month after first opening it. I switched from Rhino Skin to Armor Si, much higher concentration in the Armor Si, so it is easier to dose. The recommended dose for Rhino Water is 2 mL per liter, while Armor Si is 0.25 mL per liter at mild strength, 0.5 mL at full strength.
If you used the maximum dose for 3 gallons you would need to add 30 mL of Rhino Water vice 7.5 mL of Armor Si at max strength. Not sure about anyone else, but I’d rather add smaller doses that would probably have a lesser effect on the water pH.
If anyone wants to grow 8 Ball Kush in the future I strongly recommend adding between 3-7 mL of Cal-Mag into your water before doing the water change. I found early on that the genetics for this plant are Cal-Mag sponges. If you scroll towards the beginning of this grow you will notice that my plant was showing Cal-Mag deficiencies when the first full set of fan leafs started growing.
Next grow I may experiment with FloraFlex’s folar sprays. Not sure if anyone like @Bplatinum9 or @chris_barfield have tried using it in their Grobo yet.
Thanks for the info.
I have not tried foliar spray yet because I have yet to achieve perfect ph in my tent, to move on to that process so I can objectively see the difference.
@chris_barfield has used the product and reported he didn’t see much difference but Im not sure if he used it outside of tent purposes.
I was thinking about trying it in the Grobo, but I’m not 100% convinced that folar sprays with nute’s in them do much, if anything.
I wouldn’t spray anything inside my grobo!
Your tent will be up soon right?
Tent is up, still getting it dialed in.
I’m excited for you!!! can’t wait to watch you grow!!!
