one garden five Indica strains

[AirHammer]

One garden with 5 different indica strains.


10 bags/per 30L top soil with following amendments:

: % sea life compost, kelp shellfish and a bunch of other morsels plants like to thrive on.
: % crushed powder dolomite lime.
: 10 lbs of worm castings.
: % sheep manure.

weekly feeding schedule:
per 8 litres of gassed off water.

1 oz. pbp grow.
1 oz. pbp blooms.
2 caps calcium.
2 caps silicate solution.

I always alternate feeding percentages as things progress. Always start with less until you have time to gauge how the plants react.

Light :

5.5 hours direct mid day high intensity natural sunshine.

On with the grow show. Thanks for dropping by.

Looking good!

 

[AirHammer]

Thanks!

I tried something different for this grow. So I hope it doesn't work against me.

I purposely left all five varieties unknown. I told the clone tender to give me a mix of Indica dominant strains, she picks them. Whatever happens will come with surprise.

I was more unsure with placement though, as some get quite bushy while others grow in tighter quarts.

Do you plan to take clones in case you like one alot?

Yes. I'll clone and number them as things progress.

That's a nice little garden!

That's a nice little garden!

Kind of you, thanks green.

These two bigger girls are starting to show signs of nice things to come.

Good health and vigor.

Along with excellent sunshine, the humidity can get extreme. We go through a few stretches of high humidity that can last about a week. Along with it there's the rain.

Don't forget your silicate additives (I never do).

Its not been a month but some character is starting to become noticeable.

A little range of very bushy to more on the lankier side of things. If skinny plants produce kind nice strong smoke they all have a right to exist ;). Generally I'm stoked if my yeilds last me an entire year and offers a few sessions of hash making. I'm great with that. Anything much more than that is a bonus.

Maybe I'd venture in to a bit of baking this time.

The other lankiish clone on the far end is blocked, but its similarly lankier for the moment. I say for the moment because sometimes they bush out considerably as things progress further into plant maturity. Its something I always keep a semi conscious eye on and do notice these things generally.

The rains kept coming, and coming. And probably flushed most or all of the pour in concoction away. After it dries out some more I can hardly wait to hit them with fresh batch of the brew. The way they took to it the last time.

I'll bubble something up for a treat as well, lol. Some worm casting / guano bubble tea. You have to spoil your plants right?

 

[AirHammer]

Lots and lots of sunshine on tap.

Great looking grow fella

 

[HelpfulHarold89]

Great growing conditions, bro!

I suspect stretching just ensued, but I could be wrong.

Since I won't be naming names here's how #1 and #2 (from left to right) are looking today.

These two were transplanted 3 weeks later than others. #1 shows more sativa influence but lets hope she ripens within 9-ish weeks.

#2 more resembles her vertically challenged sisters. The twin sativa wanabee is deemed #5.

 

[AirHammer]

Little miss #3. Shes a week behind #4 and #5. I wasn't sure how much I liked this one earlier on. How could I not like what she became, and I do.

 

[AirHammer]

#4 is reigning miss piggy. It looks more like two plants placed close together. Great branching on #4. And probably will be time consuming to trim. But thats okay. The trade off on bushy bushes usually pays for itself =)

She required the wide frame to fit all over her in.

 

[AirHammer]

Last but not least #5, as mentioned #1's twin sis. There is less plant structurally but just as much to like. #5 is doing just fine and she smells the strongest out of the bunch. All five have distinct smells.

 

[Galgrows]

Looking great my stretch is happening along with the small preflowers. I look at the branches and can see how i think the colas are gonna form. Once you thin those out abit you'll see on the strongest branches i love it when they start to show how there gonna fill in. It's been boring so far LOL

 

[AirHammer]

I was late with the weekly pour formula feed but I got it in there today.
The usual pro blend grow and silca and calcium sups. Oh and I top dressed with more worm castings. Im a firm believer in always adding them. Before and during the entire grow.

I'm brewing up a better top dressing that consists of this (bag image) + worm castings + bat guano.

I like to bake it in the sun for a couple days that way I can also guage how much to use. I have burned plants in the past but I was lucky and caught it. Then gave the soil a long flush. That was entering flower and it could of ended disastrously ;P But all well that ended well. This should be fine as is.

I bet this one plant enjoyed the drink a little extra. I started giving that big gal a little more. We don't want any deficiencies popping up.

The marine compost looks like it'd be nice stuff. I didn't notice the miracle-grow printed elsewhere on the bag in smaller print until later. I and others had problems with their slow release soilds and ferts. And a lot of bad things started going around the net how horrible MG is.

I mixed it a bit light / half bag to 2 full bags of neautral black earth soil. I'll throw that in tomorrow or the day after.

I forgot to check pistils, but seen nothing more than pre flowers yesterday, or maybe the day before.

 

[AirHammer]

Call me cautious, I only added 1 tbs. of guano. Then tumbled everything together thoroughly. I learned that less is best if unsure. As I was mentioning before, the burn episode.

The composted soil already smells mellow and fresh. The marine blend smelled a bit "fishy" when I first unpacked it. Then let it air out in the sun a day. If I was a plant I bet I would enjoy it ;). I'll go ahead and layer it in the garden in the morning.

 

[AirHammer]

I'll leave it with a couple more quick ones. Including the taller / thin plants. That look a little more typical with the x-mas tree shape. Those often produce really nice herb just a little less of it sometimes. It really depends on traits.
