Quick details of grow

Feminized Malawi from Ace

Happy Frog Seed Starting Soil dusted with microbes
Using NFTG nutrients
240 BD-LED

I start with r/o well or collected rain water.


12/12 from seed
Feeding with a 1/2 strength early flowering formula at 6.4PH

So far the only additives outside of nutrient line
SLF-100
Mammoth P
ACT from Humus/EWC

I am feeding them in the morning Each about 25 ML

The Plan is to transplant into #1 Smart Pots filled with mix of Happy Frog Potting Soil and Seedling Soil when they are ready.

The Goal is to fret over which plant I will Cob Cure because they are both worthy.

Any advice along the line to help the quality is appreciated. I don't think it will be any challenge to use up what space I have so im hoping to zero in on Quality.
I know that this is the place for that.....

Found this bit of useful knowledge which I will follow when its transplant time.

"We always recommend organic soil and fertilizers, a mix of 50-60% high quality compost, 30 % coco, 10 % worm casting and a bit of perlite, humus .... it's usually the mix we use to grow and breed our strains."

Oh Boy, they did like their little hair cuts. I hit FIM on one and tried normal topping on the one that stretched almost 2x the other. I have topped it again.

I repotted into my version of Ace Soil Recipe

The Fim'd one is showing preflowers already.

I put 2 Zamaldelica seeds to soil last week and they are both heads up!


The soil mix was so nice looking when I finished mixing it my wife stole 1/2 for her projects ....


When Transplanting I had a chance to dust the Gal's roots with the various crap I have purchased. Mykos, Sub culture A & B. With the nice tea's I'm brewing I think these products will not be re purchased. I think I see the folly there. In any case I spread it so evenly I nearly impressed myself.

Taming of teh Malawi

Taming of teh Malawi




I got a hold of some simple garden staples and I am off to the races with controlling these plants. Generally my growing skill stunts the growth a bit anyway. Already flowering and liking the soil. In a few days they get the whole space.

Holy Re-Veg !

Holy Re-Veg !

I had separated my 2 malawi 1 in each of my grow boxes. Both of which I have successfully flowered in the past.

I was away for 4 days. One was watered properly in my absence, one was sort of forgotten about and missed 1 watering.

The one that was watered is continuing to flower nicely, the other which had been forming flowers has dropped into veg. It looks great. Just weeks behind the other one.

I changed the photoperiod to 1/2 hour less light a day back from 12/12
11.5 light/12.5 dark as a minor tweak. No Light leaks.

Also I have noticed that the conditions have changed a little in the box with the vegged plant. Lower Humidity, and less air flow then other set up. That sounds weird to begin with?

I am going to drill a couple more air intakes and I am getting a set of new inline fans that will be nearly silent.

Anyone see something I may have done to cause this or do I just have a wild child plant!!! ( I am kind of hoping for the wild child!)

Ill post pictures later, but it seems that I am doing well with my 2 Malawi. One is forming
Beautiful column like branches encrusted with flowers.
The other one is just puttin out preflowers
And is a bushy plant. Looks very different then the other.
Very nice....

Going with 1.2 EC NFTG pro line nutrients.
I mix according to instructions, then dilute and PH to 6.5.

Bloom Chaos will cause problems at full strength, so I add 1/4 dose and its fine.

On microbe front I am adding photosynthesis
Plus and mammoth P each 1 time per week.

Hi Levitationofme

Your later flowering pheno sounds like my carrot smelling pheno. It vegs like a pretty little bush then has a decent stretch but takes a little longer to kick into full flower. . its been flowering for about 10 weeks now and is starting to have a really nice tropical fruit smell. Carrots, mandarin, even some coconut. Very exotic. Words cannot express how excited I am to take her down in a couple of weeks. It looks like a gangly monster bush now. Quite different to the huge sativa spears my purple pheno produced.
