2x2x5 Grow Lab - Reserva Privada Headband ... [ 100w T5 veg / 250w HPS flower ]

You don't really want a sterile evrinment in soil, if that's what you want then a sterile hydro res is best for you. There a symbiotic relationship between fungus and plant roots, it's really quite crazy.... You could look up mycorrhizal fungi to read more..........

The environment that it would be polluting is the soil. It converts into somethng that has anti-fungal, and antibacterial properties, which will destroy soil. Sorry if I worded that previous post poorly, I thought it made sense.

In fact, in my system I brew teas for my organics with specific endo-fungal strains, anything with antifungal properties would defeat the purpose.

Lol I don't know how anything EDTA would sound good....

Looking forward to seeing this one finish up.

Just smoked some Headband and searched the site for it and found this grow. Awesome strain.
I'm gonna watch this one. Good luck sir.

Environmental pollutant is anything not normally found in nature (generally ground water) in large amounts that can be monitored - nitrogen is an environmental pollutant. Doesn't necessary mean it has a negative effect, just that it wasn't there prior or in nearly as large amounts.

upthearsenal provided some great info. My claim of chelated nutes being easier on bennies was more correlated to reactivity and pH fluctuation. Chemical salt based nutes have a fairly strong charge which can drastically influence pH which can kill benefitials but also the salts can directly harm benefitials as well. These same salts once chelated are much less reactive and thus direct contact to beneficials is less detrimental and the chances of quick changes in soil solution pH are drastically minimized.

Here's day 5..

Actually fed with

25mL Grow Big
15mL Tiger Bloom
20mL Big Bloom
10mL Botanicare Cal/Mag
6mL General Organics - BioWeed (cold-processed kelp)


The previous watering was just h20 and calmag..

I will feed with water and CalMag again in another 5 days... I bet they will love this feeding though.. You guys can see a little discoloration going on.. I'm hoping the extra food serves them well.. Makes them blow up



[lights off] Pushed the tops down a bit to even things out and expose new growth.. will be interesting to see how the colas form

I understand what your saying, but I don't aim for a totally sterile soil... If we were to say 'sterile' that would mean that the EDTAs kill ALL the bacterial/fungal organisms in the soil.. I don't think that would happen though..

Thanks ! I appreciate it.

Was it the 707 headband (clone only), or was it the Reserva Privada version?

Good to know!

Day 6

worked on evening out the canopy today... tying some branches up that finally got long enough... also have been trimming underneath the canopy, getting all the little branches that aren't going anywhere.. should be somewhat easy from here on out..

I'm curious to see how much bigger they will get. They seem to have really taken off in the last 3 days.









Hood @ 8.5inches from canopy.. Canopy: 78.1F 36% humidity




Zip tie training .. I have no idea how I originally came up with this.. Being medicated in the garden produces some good ideas I guess.






When I'm standing above the plants, and pushing the canopy aside to see down through into the main stem.. I find it difficult if not impossible! I could do it last week, but not today . It's really dense, as you can see by the length of some of the branches.. Excited to see it stretch out more and have the flowers fill the branches in.



Who's ready for these things to chunk out? I'm ready. .

Loving the documentation.
I'm using this to guage my seedlings,
although Istill don't know if they're trainwreck or headband.

I noticed at athebeginning of the 4th week, your plants started pushing out "adult" leaves., I cant wait for these.

Adult leaves? By what do you mean? BTW...As long as you feed, your plants should veg 2x as fast. I fucked up and was lazy!

Lets see some photos of your plants! And a link?

Take a look for yourself.
Look at your seedlings between days 25-35.

That's what I mean.
If you still don't see it, take a look at young philodendrons.

Looking great verde. They are really loving the light.

There are many things on my plants between those days!

I'm just curious if you mean branching from nodes, or fan leaves or what?

I call my plants "adult" which is technically the term I believe when they show pre-flowers and alternating node growth. That is sexual maturity.. which happened after day 35 I'm pretty sure..

Thank you! I think your right! They love stretching up and being happy in that Super HPS . Far more than the 100w t5

hey man , love to setup. Im scrogging some headband under 250w as well. 3 weeks into flowering. looking forward to seeing your harvest

Nah watch thes hape of leaves.
Between days 28-35 your plant pushed it's leafspan from tiny leaves a couple inches wide,

to monsters the size of the plant itseltf


See?

from

day 22 veg


Day 33 veg


The only difference between both that I see is one has branching and one doesn't yet

The sudden difference is because they were transplanted to larger pots with nutrient rich soil..

Baby leaves - Adult leaves.
Not the same subject., totally different specie between philodendron and cannabis..
Just anidea though..
Nevermind, I giveup,..All I was trying yto pointout as thelarger leaf switch.

Only difference is the side branching? Hehe, I agree that they look similar scale wise but the later mass wise is like 20x the prior That's a big difference in my mind

My goodness how plants like additional room and nutrient rich soil.

Well yeah of course it's going to get larger over the period of 10 days .

Day 8 today.. 70 more to go.

Plants are really filling out that screen.. I have been tightening zip ties as they stretch out to keep an even canopy

Light raised.. To get into the back







Looking very pretty
