First grow journal-Super Skunk,Sensi Star and Early Girl

Im telling you...I love this jungle juice in conjunction with the bloombastic and bud candy. They are swelling like crazy. I have never had buds this big at day 30...ever. so basically the NPK ratio for bloom for the sensi with the nutes I am using combined is....5-18-20. I have decided only to flush the sativa. I do not want to interfere with the sensi as she is totally rocking it out right now and is probably halfway through flower or more. If I flushed her I would piss her off and push things back a week and totally deplete her of nutes at a very critical time in the grow. The sativa on the other hand probably has 10 weeks or more left so flushing her will be just fine in my opinion. That sensi has basically a solid bud from 1/4 way up the branch all the way to the top on the 4 highest branches! Im guessing a good 3 oz dry yield off of her and the sativa...shit I have never had a plant that big...I could easily get 1/4-1/2 pound off of that sucker.
 
That's brilliant. When I did my first grow, I had 6 plants under one light and the single Chronic gave me 70g alone. Very exciting, can't wait to see what they'll look like in a couple of weeks. Sounds like they're hungry for P & K right now.
 
The sativa hates food. Even a light feeding and she is pissed off at me. Lets see her deny food now with a flushed pot lol. The sensi is a food hog. Full strength nutes the whole way. Im pushing the bloombastic from 2ml/gallon to 4ml/gallon this feeding which is the recommended max feeding. She should explode in bud growth even more. The max feeding pushes the npk ratio up to 5-32-34 which is more than I have ever fed any plant at a given time. I think she will be happy though. I touched a sugar leaf on accident and boy does she smell good....berry lemon skunk is the smell that I get :)
 
I think I'll try the Atami samples on the Outdoor. I've got half the range here and I only need the Growth - C and root - C until August / Sept. Seems like ur girls are lapping up the P & K, especially if ur going up to full dose. It says 1-5ml / litre so I will just start with 1 ml. They're drying out quickly on my windy terrace so I think it'll be light feeds very often.

Are u using anything else from Atami? I want to try the Bio Grow soil mix.
 
They just gave me 50Ml samples each of bloombastic and rootbastic. I gave the root to a friend because I am well past the stage of stimulating roots and he had a ton of clones that needed help rooting. He said its some of the best stuff he has ever used. He had cuttings with just small spikes of roots in the clone room and after a week they were ready for his ebb and flow system to become future moms. These are all cuttings I gave him from the sativa and the sensi star. By the time we have our house next year he will have a ton of moms and a ton of clones. He is gonna start me off with 12 clones each and Im gonna turn 2 of the sativas and 2 of the sensi's into moms. Then I am going to start a breeding room. Im gonna round up some good males and produce my own seeds and dabble in feminized seeds. On my bottle of bloombastic is says 2-4Ml/gallon. I started with 2 on the first feeding...and the second feeding I bumped it up to 4. She seems to be taking it well. That stuff smells like a cross between a multi-vitamin and baby food lol. When I brought the sensi into my bathroom to water it in the tub I noticed a cal/mag deficiency on the upper and middle fan leaves. Its moderate with yellowing starting at the margins and a little brown in between margins with small brown spots just starting. I hit it with 5Ml of botanicare cal/mag and that should do the trick. Pics of the deficiency are below. No pics of the sativa as I just flushed it yesterday and she will be developing even more slowly for the next week. I plan on giving her a bloom boost next feeding, full strength nutes also for the first time and hopefully that will push her into full out flower. Right now the tops are crowning nicely with just a couple pistils here and there. There ares so many branches and nodes on that plant I know Im gonna have to get bamboo supports to hold her up once she is stacked with flowers.

Day 32 of flower...

I'm still astounded by how well u can read a plant. Those Mg def are tiny yet u've spotted them already.
I've got so many different Mums. ~If only u were down the rd !! I can see the Sat clawing a tiny bit but it'll be fine, ur on it !!! Can't wait to see them in couple of weeks. I'm praying ur camera doesn't break !!
 
well the spots and brown/yellow stripes on the sensi seem to be getting worse even after a nice dose of cal/mag. The sativa is doing very piss poor after the flush. Most of the upper new leaves are yellowing with lots of brown spots and yellow/brown stripes. I fed it with the veg+bloom last night when the lights come on so hopefully I see some progress here within the week. It has plenty of cal/mag and a high amount of PK in it and I fixed the ph issue so it has to still be a lingering deficiency....potbound or root rot. I won't even rule out some sort of disease as I have never seen some of the wierd striped patterns that are showing up on the upper and mid fan and secondary leaves. Bottom leaves are curling in bad on the edges bud growth is non existent and leaf growth has come to a halt. Vertical growth has stopped too. This plant is sooooo finnicky lol.
 
If the Sat is given water only a few times would that even it out? They are really sensitive.

Out of these strains which is ur favourite so far ? I'm guessing the Sensi as u have the Mum for it. I've been busy with the outdoors and will post pics later.
 
I give her the veg+bloom at half strength every other watering now. Before that it got flushed with 10 gallons of RO water then just water and bud candy the following watering. She is drinking 2 gallons of water ever other day! Thirsty girl I tell ya. The leaves in between the margins have wierd brown stripes from the center vein to the leaf edges in between every single margin. Not all the leaves but most of the top leaves and secondary leaves near the top. Some of the mid leaves have brown spots starting. It looks deficient but after flushing....and getting her back on track with the nutes it doesn't seem to be helping any. It almost looks like light burn to me but the bulb is 18 inches away from the top and she is to the side of the light and not getting hit directly all over. The sensi has the same weird stripes only on the very top fan leaves. They either both have a disease or this new bulb is burning them even though it is far enough away that it shouldnt be burning them. I will snap some pics later of the leaves in question and maybe I can get some help. This has me stumped and I know somebody out there has an answer for me. All and all though besides the few leaf problems things are going ok with them.
 
Scrog would be a good person to ask but as always need to see pics. You've outlined plenty of info so it must be something that can be diagnosed.
 
Tried to get on here last night...didn't work out so well lol. Here are some pics at day 37 of flower....leaf pics with possible deficiency/light stress or nute burn included.....the little plant is the lone clone that I have left....no veg time. As soon as roots appeared I potted her in a 3 gallon pot, gave some rootbastic then 1/4 strength nutes. She is just starting to flower....

The buds look great so that's the main thing and soon enough you'll have to stop feeding. Some of the leaves look a bit burnt. Maybe a PH fluctuation even? I don't know.
Time to call in the experts (but anything u don't know prob aint worth knowing- so who do you ask??!!)
 
I was going to do a mid flower flush on the sensi but opted out. I figured it would do more harm than good as she was going through a burst in flower production at the time. This seems like an 8 week strain to me. So yeah it could be a ph problem but like you said...most of the leaves are good and the buds are just fine. She will be finishing up here within the next 3-4 weeks. I have the standard wing reflector that comes with the cheapy 400w systems. I do rotate the plants twice per light cycle but it seems like the leaves affected are the ones directly under the light. Temps at the canopy are usually around 80F and like I said the tops are 18 inches from the bulb. Maybe I should lower her just a bit and see if it helps. I have her boosted up on a 5 gallon bucket because the sativa has grown so much I had to raise the light way up just to fit her under it. She has outgrown the sensi by a full 2 feet lol.
 
I think you may be able to flush soon if u plan on doing it 2 weeks before harvest anyway. I keep my 600W 45-60 cms away. 18-24 inches.
 
yeah I am trying to figure out when that will be. She just started to push calyxs out, they are getting frosty and I know she will go through another boost in flower production til she is done. I am looking for a more sedative high off of this one so I am gonna push her to 75% amber 25% cloudy. I need insomnia medication! lol

75% amber 25% cloudy. For harvest? Or did u mean flush ? It's gonna be a couch lock in that case !!!
 
couchlock is what we are after. I need a good bedtime med because we have bad insomnia sometimes and sometimes I wake up with horrible migraines. We are going for 75% at the chop not at flush. The sativa will be there for a nice creative uplifting high. Its nice to have the best of both worlds :)
