A Shadey spot to grow, Perpetual organic no till

Weedly Update

Christmas over thankfully can focus on my grow properly now. The Clone cab is back in use and has and in the cloner we have 2 Hog cuttings 4 Tut, 4 GDP and 4 Sebs Rev. Just need 2 of each if I get more I will replace the mothers with them as they are looking a bit ropy atm. The only one I don’t want to lose is the GDP, I have plenty of Sebs Rev seeds and the Tut I dont care if I do or not as I have other strains now to replace it…

3 new Caramel Candy Kush #6 from Painted fire, one left in trhe paper towel to go these went into the peat pucks this morning, 36 hours after hitting the water with almost 1 inch long tap roots, only just managed to get there heads under the surface of the peat puck :slight_smile: nice and vigorous the last one has a 5 mil root so probably be ready tonight to go into a peat puck.

The clones, I am having to run the pump manually until my new digital timer arrives, turning it on for a couple of minutes 4 times a day.

The 3 DHXC99 clones doing well, I will keep one for a mother, and flower the other 2 and bin the mother in the veg tent as its getting too tall and very skinny. I guess I could just chop it of above the last branch and see what happens.

In the veg tent a small heater has been in there a week now, I was thinking maybe a lot of soil bacteria was going dormant and causing the K deficiency on the G99 and Bleberry CBD, with low night temps. Not showing any improvement yet, so will do a soil test this week, to see if it is a PH problem.

Blueberry CBD

G99, I think I may remove those branches that are slowly dying off from being cracked.

front and back left are Green Crack Something grape and something Ghostryder to the right, I need to right these strains down lol.

Then we have the 4 TER need a little N I think running out of fuel in these little pots they have some serious stocky stems for there size.

Sad looking Moms, struggling in those little pots.

In the Flower Room we have had a little switch about to use the lights more effectively.

So now in the corner we have Big Bang #2 under 8 sils, doing nicely, she is going to get a little defoliation this week, only grown a couple of inches so they are finishing their stretch. Stacking up nicely now.

Sebs Rev still where she was, a whole mess of buds now this could be interesting if they all develop well.

The Blueberry Cough moved under this light from the corner as its only about 6 inches taller than the Sebs Rev and going strong. she will get a trim up as well.

Big Bang #1 looking great and stacking up nicely she only grew 3 inches this week and stacking up well like her sister, she will also get defoliated a bit. She is Under the HPS with the DHXC99.

DHXC99 slowed down now at 57 inches and is stacking up beautifully, definitely going to need some support soon, she wont need much defoliation as he nodes are well spaced out.

Close up of the DHXC99 could have some nice big colas on her if she don’t run out of food, I am top dressing every 2 weeks atm with a tbs of bat guano 0.12.4 and kelp meal.

The Blue Heaven looks like she is going into senescence, although she is now throwing out strange looking leaves with new buds on, still bulking up a little and very frosty, we will see what she does in the next week or two.

Tried to get a pic of the wierd looking leaf and buds coming out the top of the old bud but its not focused well.

The Tut like the Sebs Rev is a mess of buds, going to see what she will be like at the finish, might be a good haul.

The on plant cloning trial failed, the container is small and dried out really fast, easier to stick with the cloner but its a good idea, if it can be made easier to keep the soil moist.

One of my new pairs of Friskars teflon coated trimmers I got for crimmy I can keep one out here and the other in my painting room where I do the trimming, and my old pair out by the veg tent. save me running around trying to find where I left them lol.

Took the Blurple cheapo Chinese light apart yesterday to see what it had for drivers as it was advertised at 240W out the wall. As you can see they lied, it only has 2 of these 50w drivers and a 12w driver for the fans. They know we are checking watts out the wall for comparisons so now they just lie in there advertisements, MF’s.

Fan driver

One of the light drivers. I am going to make another LED light for the veg tent and use this for my seedlings and clones, until I can afford to replace it. Probably just rip these drivers out and use them to power the new LED strips.

I have high hopes for the tut and sebs, sometimes you gotta trudge through the valley of the weird to get where you’re going!

Yeah weird is right lol, they are getting a bit of leaf die off, but other than that look fairly OK.n Just been defoliating the Blueberry Cough and DHXC99 and the 2 Big Bangs of all the lower bud sites and leaves. The blueberry Cough had a thicker set of leaves and branches at the bottom than the top took me 15 minutes to sort it out, the 2 Big Bang were a little better as I had done them a couple of weeks before putting them in flower, the DHXC99 hardly needed any.

I could not be arsed to do the Sebs Rev, Tut and BH they will be what they will be lol, after 40 minutes on my knees, it was enough pain for one day, having to sedate myself now with a nice 10 year old tawny port, some RSO and a glass joint of GDP :yum:

Them glass joints look some slick I must say. I’d probably smoke twice as much if I had one lol.

Is the glass joint, a two piece glass tube, and you slide the inner one in to push the ash out??

Just been down to the dollar store to get some more pots for my new Caramel Candy Kush seedlings 3 above ground with 1 to go they have roots coming out the bottom of the peat pucks at 4 days old. The no show is about 2-3 days behind the other 3. Just warming up my mix of Organic EWC, Promix and Super Soil atm.

At the end of the week I will be putting 4 of HardRocks Goji Orange in water as well :yum:

Just tested the soil in the Blueberry CBD pot and its somewhere between PH 7 and 7.5 but K gets absorbed from PH 5.5 to 9, so maybe I am deficient in the soil. Going to add some more kelp meal, and sulfer to bring the PH down a bit half a table spoon should be good to start I think. Watering for the next few weeks at a PH of 5 should help as well. If I had more room in the pot I would throw some shrimp and seaweed compost on top of the pot as well. see what its like in a couple of weeks, can always take some soil out.

Cheers Man I will write it down in my journal lol.

After this I had to order one lol… not sure if I’m going to like the whole cork screw idea. The sliding glass one I had was quite idiot proof
