An update was overdue so here goes.
I have had a few issues with this grow. I have got 4 grows going on at 4 different locations so getting round to them all while holding down a full time job and raising a family has gotten tricky and time consuming.
the guy I had looking after this grow between my visits went away for a week and forgot to tell me so when I came to see the plants I found them growing in dust and with nutrient lockout.
After a watering, I ph tested the soil and I found it was low, around 6. So I applied some lime and things are now getting back on track.
First up is the older and bigger Special Reserve. This one has got the leathery leaves I was looking for so I am going to reverse her using colloidal silver to make some personal fem seed(this will be documented in a new thread after this)
Here she is after her first spraying with the CS. she is 30 days old and showed sex at day 28
This one is Sweet Talker. She survived the low ph the best. There were 2 of these but one turned out to be a male so it was killed. This was the smaller of the 2. she is 27 days old
This one is the small Special Reserve apart from the ph issue she is recovering nicely she is 27 days
This the British Blue Blood. She really suffered both from being dry and the dodgy ph. these pics were taken as I treated her. She is already looking much better now. she is 45 days old in these pics
The LST worked a treat, lots of heads on this baby now.
This one had some parts suffer from ph imbalance and other parts got away with it. here are 3 varying bud sites.
this one is at the centre and suffered badly.
This is at one side and is not too bad.
This one is on the other side and was hardly affected at all.
Overall I am happy that I caught the problems early, but I don't plan to make these mistakes again anytime soon!
I have added a 5 day old Big Daddy to the grow space to replace the Sweet Talker that was male, and I have just put down a Russian Dragon x Think Different gifted to me by a fellow breeder. These will be included in the next update and hopefully I will keep this thread going as a perpetual grow for a while.
I forgot to take pictures of the PPE so I will update that one next time too.
