The Docs TriStrain adventure: (White Widow, Bubblelicious and Amnesia) Waterfarmed and SCROGed

Thanks bro .... I appreciate it my man 😉

 

hah thanks dude I seriously wish I could share n exchange buds maybe one day when its legal worldwide ; -)
But seriously, the amnesia really surprised me. She was a free seed that I decided to add to this grow just to fill a spot, a more sativa spot that is. N now look how flowery this thing is . Shes going to outproduce both plants i feel . N i never had amnesia before too .... so in really excited about this one 😉

 

Lol thanks for rubbing it in .... dude been even paranoid about being on here

 

Been awhile so I think its time for an update. Today is day 34 of flower.
I freshened up the controller res like last time. The difference this time is reducing the base nute by 2mls and adding 8mls (1/3 the recommended dose) of PK13/14. I find some that I had feom a vrevious grow and I should have enough for this grow too. Anyway, with the vuds fattening up like crazy, i figured they could use some extra PK. And theyre also showing little nutrient burn so its good to reduce the overall ppm and base nutes. The overall ppm is reduced to 1150.
Ill probably introduce full dose of pk in a week or so
A shot of the canopy then singles of the Bubbleicious then White Widow then amnesia respectively 😉
Til next update, enjoy the bud porn 😈

 

thanks bro .... the buds are filling in very nicely for half the flowering time ;-)

 

Thanks TT ;-) nothing like thise photogenic buds ya always have bro ;-) ..... was actually thinking I need to grow some of those colorful girls like TTs n thought about getting blue kush seeds ;-)

my pleasure Looperz ... anything for you bro!

 

Today is day 41 of flowering. I noticed in the past couple of days that the ppm is going down by about 80 or so over 24 h period. Thats the girls consuming more of the PK i added and consuming more in general and maybe in need for more PK because obviously they're accelerating their flowering!
So I decided to introduce a full dose of the PK13/14 for a week or so ( its about 3-4 weeks from harvesting so its time or close enough).
I prepped a 17.5L bottle of half DH water and half tap (with initial ppm of 130) and added recommended dose of Diamond Nectar, B Essentials (micro and submicro elements) and only 10ml calmag+. The ppm now is 300. I then added Flora Nova BLOOM and full dose PK13/14 added to a final ppm of 1180 and pH of 6.0 (thats 250 ppm of PK just in the main res not to include whats added in the topoff res at half dose or a little more). Finally, a full dose of floralicious was added.
17.5 L were then removed from the main res and replaced with the fresh mix.
Half dose floralicious was also added to the topoff res.
Below you can see the canopy after a week ... the single shots are of the bubblicious then White Widow then amnesia! Happy growing ; -)

 

And then just a random through the canopy shot ;-)

 

Thanks TT ... much appreciated bro!
As far as their flowering time, i got an average of 68 days for all of them from the net. This is not following the breeders flowering time which is about 8 weeks for the white widow and around the same for the bubblicious and close to 10 for the amnesia. However, going by average flowering time from many growers i got about 68 days or close to 10 weeks. What ill do is flush that last week and ill be checking the trichomes by end of week 8. As far as pistils being produced, there are still alot new ones shooting everyday so maybe theres still time. We will see as they may finish early with the amount of lights and and the well controlled environment!
Now for the PK you will actually hear a lot of different ways to use it. The manufacurer (canna) recommends a week application of PK, about 3 weeks before you flush and harvest. They claim that the plants will require the 3 weeks to use up the stored nutrients and the PK and by then the plants have already consumed most of the PK which we force into them, and ultimately losing that chemical taste by the end of 3 weeks.
Some people use PK throughout flowering introducing it slowly and gradually increasing it to the max dose by 3 weeks before harvest.
I personally introduce it slowly later in flowering for a 2 or so weeks before I do the full dose. This time around I introduced it only a week earlier and now full dose. I noticed the girls had a surge in their food uptake (ppm going down) which told me theres a surge in growth. Thats when I introduced the PK last week and again today at full dose!
After this week of full dose PK, i may drop the FloraNova and switch to GH Ripen which basically is a (supposedly) comprehensive late flowering ripening formula thatll help the girls finish quickly and around the same time, adding flavor essential oils and also weight then ill flush for 3 days to a week! Ripen is used for 10days or so before flushing then harvesting. Hope this helps bro ;-) happy growing dude

 

Thanks bro will do ;-)
Yeah I am trying to use up what I have and I got little PK left from a previous grow ... thats why i waited to use it this time around hah
my hydro shop didnt get anymore and they take forever to restock ... they are more consistent with GH products so I grabbed a thing of KoolBloom dry ... its also suppose to be like PK but I need to research it and research how to use it before I do. The little PK i have will cover me this time ... anyway take care bro

 

Today, last day of week 7 (day 49) of flowering.
A little hiccup here. The mechanism to recirculate the nutrients between the 3 reservoirs and the controller res failed last week and I didnt realize. So the girls got nute lock from both pH embalance and ppm spike. This problem was easily fixed yesterday and the res was freshened up yesterday. The new res ppm kept spiking throughout the day telling me the girls were choking on too much and are releasing some back. So I decided to prep another bottle for a fresh res change tomorrow and to flush today for 24 hours. Tomorrow I'll start the res slightly lower in ppm than previously. Ill give the girls a week of fresh res with full nutes dose and very mild KoolBloom dry (to add some PK that I lost in the last week of pk boost due to that hiccup) and let them recover from this problem. I'll decide what to do next in a week or so ... I need to observe them for full recovery! Here are a couple shots for the canopy ;-)
