Blackberry Gum & Critical Orange Punch

[KK26]

4 x Seed Stockers Blackberry Gum
2 x Dutch Passion Critical Orange Punch

All feminzed and given 5 weeks veg and currently been on 12/12 for 5 weeks so another four to go.

Tropic Mix Soil (60% soil & 40% coco)

18 to 20ltr pots

Only nutrients they have had is Ecothrive Charge when potting up to final pots (powder mixed in with their soil) then only one liquid feed which is Buddhas Tree Organicus 99% at 1/2 the recommended minimum dosage (1ml per ltr).

600 watt HPS Sylvania Grolux Bulb, Maxibright 600w Adjustable Digital Ballast & large Parabolic Reflector.

Active intake and extraction via RAM (Rapid Air Movement) fans and carbon filter.

I have grown these before and they are very nice so here we are with some replenishment for my dwindling stock of the same.

These always turn out nice and I have got familiar with them

Been keeping my own garden on and off over the decades but I must say, for very little effort it seems I'm dailed in nicely and plants are loving life.

II'm in the UK by the way and has anyone else grown these strains?

 

[KK26]

Lights on.

5 weeks 12/12 today.

Damn man those are looking good. I haven’t grown anything you have yet but I do have the photo and auto version of the COP in the mail now. So thanks for getting me excited

Hi and cheers.

Ive grown these before and the always come out well.

These are 5 weeks 12/12 today and do look well Co sidering they have another 4 weeks to go.

Always trouble free these also, not a mark on them really with lea than recommended feeding. Very simple to grow and a pleasure in every aspect.

COP, which one is that?

 

[SCdawg]

Oh sorry I meant the critical orange punch.

Oh sorry I meant the critical orange punch.

Sorry, how obvious! I'm growing the fucking strain!

Right, now I'm with you. Yes, this too is a very nice strain and you will not be disappointed once you get your beans going. COP can be more leggy this one if you don't keep on top of them, much greater internodal spacing too but cracking solid buds.

Both very nice strains and always stocked up with these in my pantry hence the reason for doing them again to replenish dwindling stocks.

Looking at these there could be a decent harvest with 4 weeks still to go at least. I had to put some stakes in some of the Blackberry Gum already because they are leaning over already. Got my eye on a few more that will need stakes and they always seem to be at the back where its hardest to get to.

 

[SCdawg]

Thanks dude I really appreciate the info and I’m hoping you end up with a fuck ton of bud.

Feed time for these girls.

They are going through a lot of water, 3ltrs each every 3rd day.

All they have had regarding liquid feed is 1ml per ltr of Baddas Tree Organicus 99%.

5 weeks and 3 days today.

is your light maxed out on height? girls look toasty under there, blades are curling

Unfortunately yes it is and there is no room to get it any further up.

They are on a pallet which could be removed but that will only gain me 4" so I'll see how they go.

The biggest one is actually inside the shade and this is the one that has a few curling edges, slightly hot but it can be left like that if it gets no worse but I've seen lot worse.

All in all they are doing great except 1closest to the light which is still doing fine in general in my opinion.

 

[KK26]

Exactly 6 weeks 12/12 today.

All doing very well except a little warm due to no more height to raise the light a little more but no worries. They have been that tall since strech finished and it has not stopped them.

All plants taking plenty of water, around 3ltrs every other day.

Not gone crazy on nutes, just 1ml per ltr of Buddas Tree Organicus 99%. Nothing else, no PK or boosters.

These will go another 3 weeks I suspect.

Whatcha think?

 

[KK26]

6.5 weeks 12/12 (45 days exactly).

They are really fattening up and to think they will go 9 weeks max.

Grown these a few times before so kinda knew what to expect but I must say these are looking like the best lot yet.

I've got RH sitting at 42% which is a bit concerning given the size of the buds but there is plenty of airflow. I could fiddle around to get it lower so that's the plan.

Very minimal feed and an absolute pleasure to grow these girls.

Very good smoke too hence the reason for growing them again.

Just sorting beans out for next time, Anesia Seeds Blackberry Moonrocks and Barney's Farm Pink Kush.

These need another 2.5 - 3 weeks yet but planning is in place for the next lot.

 

[KK26]

7 weeks 12/12 exactly and I don't like the heat for the tallest plant (cola) because its quickly shown bad heat stress. No surprise because its final resting point was actually inside the hood of my parabolic reflector.

Drastic action needed so brutal and straight to the point. I've lobbed the tallest cola off totally. The trics are all cloudy so it will be a decent smoke. No worries at all.

The rest will be fine and no sign of heat stress on any other colas.

Except for my lumber jack skill everything is going very well with 2 weeks to finish.

They are nice these. The cola I've just chopped it as solid as a brick and also nice to trim with little leaf where it matters.

It will be a big yield come finish time.

Anyway, pics, lights on lights off and tallest burnt cola.

 

[KK26]

Thirsty girls these, about another 10 - 14 days to go I'd say.

Trichs are nearly all cloudy.

There is some real density to these. I mentioned in my last post that I lobbed the tallest cola off because of heat stress and its really solid. All the buds are similar with regards to chunky nugs.

One last feed tomorrow then water only for the rest of the grow. Only 1ml per ltr of Organicus 99% and I think the result could be pleasing. No fancy boosters here.

Ecothrive Charge when in veg mixed in their pots then just 1ml per ltr of Organicus.

just curious, what size pots are they in, what medium are you using and if soil, how often do you feed them?

All the details you have asked are within the thread.

Anyway

The 4 Blackberry Gum are in 20ltrs and the 2 Critical Orange Punch in 18ltrs. Good roots good plants.

60/40 peat/coco and all they have ever had is Ecothrive Charge powder when potting up into finals and only ever 1ml per ltr Buddhas Tree Organicus 99% but now only water because they will done within 2 weeks.

How often I feed them, a total wet dry cycle but they have always been just right with minimal feeding.

They are taking about 3 ltrs each every other day.

 

[KK26]

Today at 53 days 12/12 (7th week)

 

[KK26]

8 weeks exactly today and not far now.

All cloudy trichs with a splash of Amber and really chunky.

There is some real meat on these and the single cola I had to cut due to heat stress a week ago yielded 18g alone so I can see that this single plant will give lots, much like all of them to honest. They are very similar.

Probably start chopping end of this week if I can be bothered.

Anyways, few quick pictures I took just now.

Orange Punch first because it can't support itself anymore
