allright mel,looks great! finnally found my way over here,got you tagged now!!

 

[mellomel]

LoL...thanks for stopping by buddy your always welcome...can't wait to start these Merlin Magic's!

Day 19 of 12/12- growth rate for the taller/broader leaf pheno is stable at 51 inches, seems to have stopped now at that height. So she roughly stretched 2.5x's for this pheno.

Shorter/narrower leaf bushier/branchier/buddier pheno, (lol) growth rate is stable at 31 inches-only just doubling her height, so thats approx 2x's stretch. Very happy with these ladies. They are proving themselves to be nice and easy to grow...

I'll start giving them a hit of CANNA PK13/14 at week 3 for 5 days and then again at week 5 for 4 days. And I will take some more detailed pics of the nodes and stems and budlings when the lights come on @10 tonight

hey...lookn good...can see what you mean about the structure you mentioned in my c99 thread...

yup can see the buds coming on...looks similar to mine...duno off hand what day im up too..nice going .HH. =]-~

 

[mellomel]

Can any one tell me whether to follow the dutch web site or aussie website for the CANNA pk13/14...it says two completely different things. Shaun told me to just use it like I posted in last post. But I have 3 different directions...Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated please On the bottle it does say to not use for more than 3-4days or to early. WTF, it'd be nice if they just stuck too one set of rules...Pics soon...was too tired after Oz day,lol...oi oi oi....

 

[Squiggles]

Id go with your previous post on the application of pk 13/14 Mel,
Im no guru on the subject though, just my
depending on strain i apply it 4 weeks before the end and then agian at 1-2 weeks before the flush.

hope this helps ?

kindest regards

Squiggs

thanks Squiggles, what gave me the confusion was this

Is anybody using the new recommendation Canna are giving via their grow calculator here: http://www.canna.nl/en/growguide
for adding PK 13/14 at the start of week 3 bloom or are people still adding it at the start of week 5?

Also has anybody used their boost in conjunction with PK13/14 in the way suggested on the grow calculator and seen improved bud, trich's & yield??

I have always added through week 4 into week 5 but according to this and the calculator its at week 3 so i will tell mel to go ahead tonight and add the pk13/14
Cheers bro

 

[Squiggles]

all good mate
all id suggest now is if the plants dont like it (ie nute lockouts ?)
dump the res and start a fresh mix without the pk 13/14
adding as per normal around week 5

and may the flowering rock on

 

[unclefishstick]

does that stuff really work?

 

[shaunmulok]

G'day Unc, have only used it twice b4 this grow and cant say whether or not it made much of a diff. but we added it in week 5 as per directions on the bottle
But it seems according to Canna to achieve the upto 30% extra harvest it must be applied at week 3 of and 8 week flower strain
So who knows we will see if we get bigger buds than we are used to?????

 

[unclefishstick]

I've been thinking about adding some Alaska more bloom 0-10-10,but its only partly organic,its a crab shell thing,but the K part is from an inorganic source so I'm not sure if it will kill the microherd

 

[mellomel]

Thanks Squiggles..(you must spread more rep b4 giving it too Squiggles again-D'oh)

Been meaning to take more pics, but we have been having a few people come and go the last couple of days fixing shit around the house for the RE(when the damn lights are on).
I want to take some this time with out the lights on, but just after they go off to avoid that sleepiness/droopiness in the leaves! They should turn out much better then

They are starting to get frosty now too...love this part of the grow best!

Day 25 of 12/12...budding along very nicely...still no smell when I rub the stems yet....

Dropped the ec from 1.8 to 1.4 as they showed signs of nute burn on the tips. This was 2 days ago and they are looking better again now!

It could of just been the introduction of PK13-14 at the beginning of week three-@ 1ml per ltr, so this was cut back too 0.5ml per ltr on the same day as dropped nute strength.

I think the PK is doing it's job as they are drinking a hell of a lot of water since added.

Today will be the last day for the PK!

Ph has also been slowly dropped to 5.7-5.8 to make P,K,Calmag more accessible for the plants to uptake.

Peace....MM

 

[unclefishstick]

those are looking mighty fine mel,looks like a 75+ day strain by those leaves,should be a fun ride!!

 

[mellomel]

oops...

oops...

Sorry...forgot 2! D'oh

 

[mellomel]

Don't say that Uncle.....didn't RM's finish around 56 or 58 days?

 

[unclefishstick]

maybe 63,but didnt he pick at a range of times? they just look awfully hazy those leaves,I lose track of all these strains,is it cindy based?

 

[mellomel]

Yeah...c99...don't worry as I get confused just the same...it's weird cause some leaves do look sativa-ish where others are fat indica-ish looking...but the cola's forming, yeah they look sativa-ish for sure-

 

[umbra]

very nice job

 

[unclefishstick]

Yeah...c99...don't worry as I get confused just the same...it's weird cause some leaves do look sativa-ish where others are fat indica-ish looking...but the cola's forming, yeah they look sativa-ish for sure-
