Apollo 13 @ Day 38:
Osage Orange @ Day 38:
Both continue to thrive. I run a lower EC than most (about 1000ppm), utilize 100% perlite, and top-water to about 1/3rd runoff every time, so I am less concerned with salt buildup. As a prophylactic measure, a couple days a week I'll water twice, or water to 50% or more runoff.
I remain skeptical of the need to flush hydroponic plants with plain pH adjusted water prior to harvest. I also remain skeptical of organically grown Cannabis having improved tastes/flavors. I feel the evidence suggests that the negative qualities folks attribute to "chemically" grown flowers are in fact mostly attributable to poor curing, sloppy growing technique, and mishandling post harvest.
The Albert Walker gallon jug experiment was sub-optimal. One had to invert it too far to drain water. I now have the Albert Walker in a 2 liter hempy. This will become a bonsai'd mother, joining the Osage Orange mom. As soon as the cuttings root, I'm bonsai mother an A13 and a Prayer Tower, both 2 liters.
I passed a couple Osage Orange cuts to a friend. I hope it travels far and wide as it's been a pleasure to grow so far. In kind, I was gifted 3 (Pandora's Box x TrainWreck) beans. Big, healthy, and tiger-striped. They'll be germinated after the next run is harvested. I'd be quite happy to get one female out of the trio.
