Dazed and confused
It appears that what seems like a K shortage is now showing up in the African Chills.
Starts with the tip and spreads rapidly. The Chill Bombs look like shit.
I've been researching a bit and trying to figure out which I should use for a quick fix.
Potassium nitrate or get some liquid kelp for this issue?

I don't remember having this issue in the past with my plants, and I think I know why now.
I usually double up on the kelp meal for my soil recipe, I didn't this time because I ran out.
That could account for a K shortage!

Plus....in the past I've never used bottled supplements, just top dressing.
Thought I'd get some better results by using the GH Bloom every other watering?

Need to get back to my basics for this next grow.
Gonna go find some Ocean Forest soil and start from scratch with my amendments.
Can't be having this problem on the upcoming comp grow, and I don't want to fuckup my Chernobyl!!
Oh I can't wait for the Chernobyl 😁🔥

Well...it's time for this little sage to end!

Started to wet trim a few of them just to get some of the crappy shit off.

Every single plant is showing the same problem that started with the one CB.
Appears to me now to be a potassium shortage, which I did very little to address.

More soil for my small outdoor veggie gardens!
Got 35 gal of OF based mix going in 2 large totes, should be ready in plenty of time!

Got them all half ass trimmed up and hanging.
Just got the Oil Spill in a jar, looks like I'm gonna get about 1.5 oz between the two.
All of the plants turned out pretty solid in spite of the issues and getting chopped early.
Looks like I'll be close to my half lb mark with my squat bunch!

Awesome grow thanks for sharing 😊,those are the jbuds right? I have those I think
This is the only place I display my shorty bunch, thx for following along!

Yep....just look at tvan and stpro grows if you want to see they're true expressions.
They both turned out some awesome bud!

I had a troubled grow towards the end and chopped em early to be ready for the comp.
That's my excuse and I'm sticken to it!!

The Oil Spill got chopped 10 days ago, fired up the bong first thing this morning!

Really smooth smoke already!
Nice mellow buzz leaning sativa forward, was hoping for some good Indica bud....oh well!
Definitely get some fuel in it with an odd almost rotten floral smell.
The scent isn't exactly appealing to me, but gotta say I'm digging the buzz this morning!

I should add that I found at least a dozen nanners throughout the 2 plants.
Which could have very well been induced by me!
Found a couple that had opened up, hopefully to late in the game to change things!

Quick math says you missed by about 5g? So close...
Yeah...no real complaints.

I've been taking little taster buds from each, even though it's early.
I can get a feel of what the buzz is like.
Only one that feels like it's got no ceiling, and hard hitting is the Tombstone!
I'm thinking I'll go through this run pretty quickly.

Got 3 @BBB Slymer and 5 of @BBWs ICP/CD in the dirt, one of the slymer seeds looks really weak?
Should be getting my comp seeds here soon!

Huzzah! Not a bad looking harvest for a first run on some new soil there Slow. 👍

How much of a step up are you thinking of doing on a new light?

With your current lights how close are you getting to 1 gram per watt?

Cheers, Z.
My current lights are all budget Atreum lighting boards.
2 120w 3000k, 1 120w 3400k and 4 60w 4000k
Had em all adjusted to an equal output getting about 280w at the plug.

I've got a Blackdog 400 light my buddy gave me 6 or 7 years ago.
Did my first 2x4 indoor grow in the garage with it, battled heat problems.
That 400 fucking cranks got it's own built in fans, to much for a summer grow.
Grew a GPS Deputy and a Cannaventure LVTK in 7 gal cloth pots, got about 2.5 to 3 oz as I remember.

Almost done with my shed/shop, got a corner for a 3x3 and a 6" fan set up.
The BD should fit perfectly, just need to veg longer than my usual 4wks if I want more weed!
Thinking four 15 gal pots with a 2 month veg might get me 4 oz per plant??

I got 3 of the Slymer S1'S you sent me wet 8 days ago and 1 of them is the tallest out of all of my potential new run, 1 is middle of the road, and 1 is a no show. Makes me wonder how old they are. Quick little update.... It appears the color I chose for Orange blossom special was not orange but green. Please do not be alarmed cuz weed. 👍

I think this is the most disorganized grow I've had!
Chopped my last crop early by at least a week, wanted to get everything dry by comp time.

Seeds never showed, so I chopped early for no reason...:confused:
Had some Slymer and ICP/CD ready to run with the comp seeds.
Only had 4 plant going at this point, germed some more ICP/CD...now what?
Put the 4 in 2gal bags last night....they're digging the transplant.

Need to fill the tent.....look thru my seeds and decide to run some Bubba/xmas tree freebies what the hell??
Get those seeds soaking....now what?
20231130_134008.jpg

Go check the mail, there's the Platinum seeds from Zaphod.....well now I've got enough to fill the tent!

Talk about a mixed bag....this grow is it!!
20231204_065450.jpg

What I'm most anxious about....slymers
20231204_065517.jpg

What's the chance of these 2 being females.....I can hope!
ICP/CD
20231204_065528.jpg

Got 4 more right behind...should be able to get 2 females from the 6.
20231204_065602.jpg

Comp seeds are staging for the last place sprout...
20231204_065549.jpg

Got 1 Bubba/xmas tree up....gonna shoot for 1 female to throw in my bunch.
Ran out of seedling mix, I'll see if my soil mix is gonna be too much for em?
20231204_100943.jpg

So ideally....2 slymer, 2 ICP/CD, 3 Platinums, 1 Bubba/X, gotta say it very seldom works out like I want.
But.....I will have a full tent of some killer smoke!
