Great pics. Reminded me to take a night pic. Gives the true colours of the leaves. They appear much greener then 2 weeks ago but I’m always looking when the lights are on. The top dressing of Gaia appears to have helped. I’m in the middle of week 6 do you think I should continue with feeding? From my experience with these strains they’ll be finished after week 9.

Man, they look great... I feed my soil until they are about a week out from harvest..... thats with EWC/kelp meal topdress . I stop the fish hydrosolate about 3 weeks out unless the girls are starving....dont want my smoke to taste like sardines.

Thanks,I ll give another shot of bloom,top watering it in seems to have sped up the N by the looks of the leaves.

Amazing looking plats. Right now i'm having a difficult time germinating seeds for my next indoor grow. Hope to jump again on the thread soon.

I misread the thread title.

There's another thread I thought said cunnalingus. But it was like 'can you tell me what's wrong with this'

Thought I'd throw update on my two girls. Both bodhi more cowbells around 5-6 weeks in now. Threw some fresh ewc and a little topdress down again a week ago. One plant definitely dominating, but excited to see them finish up. I always say next grow I'll train and try to keep things a bit cleaner with the plants, but hoping for a nice quality harvest after just letting them do their thing with no training again.

Beautiful plants from everyone though and looking forward to seeing more in the future.

Man they look great! The leaves never recover completely just have to look for further yellowing to determine if you've fixed the issue. Keep us updated. Just placed my order for some Bodhi gear!!! Excited about my "next grow"

Finally i could start one of my Power Plant beans from Dutch Passion.
Bought the 3 seeds blister and had problems with 2 of them. Surprised by the vigor of this last seed. So i don't know if i did it wrong with first 2 seeds, or the 3 were very different. I tend to blame myself lol.

The topped plant is an Epoxi OG from a local breeder.
Soil is a light mix with added EWC.
Then it was top dressed with gypsum, fish meal, malted barley, bocashi; and a little more EWC.
Yesterday i watered it with FPJ that i made with a plant that grows here in the street; everytime i used it it feels it does work very good.
Will soon make aloe FPJ and nettle FPJ, along with another batch of FFJ using banana, pumpking and squash.

All through the outdoor season i experienced some lack of K on my plants, even i was frequently top dressing with a commercial fert in pellet form, with a 5-7-15 NPK.
I still have some sativas plants outside that still need weeks, will use the FPJ there and see if K def stops.

Can tell by the deep green leaves when the roots are hitting the bottom layer. Chicken manure gives em a N boost when they need it in mid flowering; works like nothing else I’ve seen.

Some nice corncob stacking on this one; the only plant of the bunch that stretched like this...

I like that layering idea,how much did you add?

I toss in about a handful of Charlie’s compost into the bottom of each final size bloom container along with recycled soil. Mix it up a little by hand and then sprinkle in a half a handful of crushed oyster shell flour to buffer the ph against the added raw chicken shit. Then cover w/ amended soil and a sprinkle of mycorrhizae; place the root ball right on top & fill it in. I also push in two Jobes ap spikes. Spikes and layers are optional TLO teks but since I read about it in the Revs book and started doing it I never went back to the old way.

They reaching so bad!!

Heres some day 61, super lemon haze.
Like you say above, i had shortage of N around day 35-40 then added 10gr of fish powder which worked superb on all plants. Its like they were stuck before i give them the N



Guys i mean .. this urb makes em finish 10 days earlier. All cloudy choppy time soon

Start of week 7. Fall colors coming in on the GDP!

Day 58 of 12/12. Last top dress last week was Gaia bloom. 4tbls ea sip. Colors are fading and brown hairs dominate the room now. Pretty happy how everything went. Turns out Zour Apple didn’t like having a HPS above her. She seems to naturally foxtail on previous grows but with her being so healthy this round the tops look funny. Like Brussel sprouts lol. She produces a lot of resin so she’s a great hash plant.
Cali O did better then when I did her in hydro. Should have had her under the HPS as the buds closer to it did quite well. Oh well next time.
Zour Apple will come down soon but Cali looks like she needs another week yet. Planting next round into sips today.
the skinny resin coated buds are Zour apple.

Looking damn nice myke! The hard work pays off in the end!

Love seeing all these nice fat chunky buds!!! Praise Jah!

Not really a bunch of work and a lot less worrying.Not having to think about when or how much water to give is soooo nice.Still a newb at this organic thing but the sips make me look like a pro lol.

Hows yours?I see you have some new wall art.

Inuit harvest moon mask. Helps the girls get fat and keeps the fungas gnats away!

Heres the real heavy lifter of the garden!
