Good news to tell you but first let me update you on the grow. We are having 3 days of very mild rain, it isn’t the heavy rain of april but it’s annoying, it remembers me from the typical english rain. Atleast the buds aren’t really dense yet, so I think I won’t have mold problems. I also saw another ladybug in the spot, she will do her job . After doing the lst, the main stem always straights up really fast, I guess I have to intensify the training, the other buds also need light. I also think I have a plant that self-topped, i’m not sure but once I go to the spot again I will take a pic. Idk how but the main step seems more purple at the top and it’s kinda stunted and the two sides there are already bigger than the main one. There’s a also a plant at flowering and her bottom fan leaves are yellowing a bit it may be a nut deficiency, idk. In the pics there are many eaten leaves but that’s from a long time ago, the girls didnt have any bug problem lately, the smell of the buds is the best repellent, I guess ahah.
in the pic above you can see a little bit of the yellowing I was talking about but there’s also some in the other side leaf, same node. the yellowing is just in really specific parts, really strange.
About the good news, I’m gonna start another guerrila outdoor grow but this time with photoperiod plants, 3 moby dicks from dinafem and 3 jack herer from seedsman both fem. I’m also not alone on this one still with the same mates, I’ll be doing it in a pine tree forest on a mountain range here in portugal, small mountains though. I’m going full organic this time, eventhough in the other grow I was using organic bottled nutrients, in this one I won’t use them. The soil there is more to the sandy side so I’ll add compost, aged sheep manure, worms castings, red wigglers, biobizz allmix for the peat moss and some more nutrients, dolomite, epsom salts, idk if I should add malted barley powder and then I have a question about the aeration part. I want to add something that helps in the aeration and holds water, so I was thinking about vermiculite and hydroton. I can get 100L vermiculite for 25€ and 45L hydroton for 16.65€. Which do you think it’s the best to hold water?
Now for the watering system I’ll be using, it will be blumat watering system. I bought 2 bucket 22L capacity and I’ll put a bulk head in the bottom and then the buckets will be connected to 3 blumats each, and it will auto water the plants. We are planing only going there once in 2 weeks. We are going to do some extra scouts there, just to find the stealthiest spot, then I’ll tell you more details once it’s chosen.
