Tikal x Honduras test grow

Thank you man! Was sweating it there for a bit. This girls too elegant and pretty to do her like that
Is that perlite you added on top soil OZZ?
No, those are worm castings from my worm bin, but I use old potting soil as my “base” for the worms, then add all the vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and whatever else to it. The worms work it all over until it’s finished.... but the perilite remains. So when I top dress with the castings there’s perilite in there as well
Alright! After a little testing and conversations with people that are far more experienced that I, turns out I was keeping this girl to cold and with too little light intensity that was causing an overwatering situation.
I remember reading somewhere that terps are best at around 75 degrees, and that many recommend only 40 w/sq ft of LED lighting. So I kept my light dimmed to 360w in my 3x3 tent (40 w sq/ft).... temps were around 79 degrees with lights on and probably around 68 off.
I cranked my HLG 550 up to full power, which is around 490w draw from the wall (54w sq/ft) which raised temps to around 85 degrees and she’s perked up and the clawing is almost completely gone. She’s drinking her pot dry every two days now.
I even gave her a very light feeding of biobloom at 2 ml/liter. I’ll start feeding her carefully now that she’s drinking and feeding again.
Tikal/Honduras is the tall lanky lady on the back, front left, my little killer A5 haze mom that I’m vegging out, will flower her out too, and front right the jungle vine original haze.

Nice work Ozz! She's a beauty
Thank you guys! I foresee a smooth run now that I’ve got her figured out *knock on wood*
Her fresh ginger root stem rubs are delightful. Would love to see some peach come through from the Tikal side but being a Honduras cross it may not happen. Either way this should be some great, great daytime smoke. Can’t wait to try her!

Looking really nice again. That’s awesome you got her feeding well again.
This current grow of mine is my first under leds and it’s been a real challenge compared to growing under Hps.
Happy holidays

I agree! Still dialing things in on my end as well as you can see lol
Merry xmas!!
Thanks ghost!
Just got back from our Xmas trip out of town, and Im still feeling the Tikal x Honduras out. Last night it seemed like she needed some feed. Gave her a light biobloom feeding last night at 2ml/liter and this girl responded by rolling her eyes and giving me a snotty look. Haha I guess I’m stubborn and need to learn my lesson the hard way, but I can take a hint and from here on out I’ll just give her water with cal mag, that seems to keep her happy. Later when she’s packing on the flowers I’ll revisit that if/when she asks for feed.
.... and the killer A5 haze mom looks like she has spread her roots into the new soil, so I’m going to leave her in the flower tent as of tonight and start flowering her with tonight being day 1 of 11/13 for her
Tikal/Honduras backup clone, just in case this girl doesn’t work out or if we need to move before I can finish her- I’ll have another shot at running her. Next time I’ll be sure to top her to spread her out to keep an even canopy, this time I really wanted to see how tall she would get flipped as a tiny little clone.
Killer A5 clone just pushed out roots and is starting new growth, this will be the new mum since I decided to flower out the original mom. As mentioned the original mother plant was getting kind of gnarled so I wanted to replace her with a fresh clone, might as well veg her out to let her recover and then let her flower away with the others!

Hi OZZ,
Looks like your plant leans more towards the Central American sativa (Honduras, Guatemala and Haze) side of this hybrid rather than to the little touch on Northern Lights it has from Tikal.
These more landrace sativa expressions prefer a very gentle feeding during growth and early flowering, although i expect she will accept much better higher levels of nutrients once she is well establised into flower production.
Thanks for your presence among us and for your great grow diaries this year. All the best for 2021!

Valuable input and thanks for stopping in Dubi! I will keep that in mind, and offer her water only for a little while longer until she starts setting heavier flowers. It’s clear I need more practice with these types, but after all that is why I labeled this as a test grow.
It’s good experience for me, and this is exactly the reason I will try to always grow every plant twice. The first time to get to know her and understand her habits, the second time to see what she can truly offer after growing her more properly.
Best wishes to you and ACE for 2021!
Uuuggghhh ..... bad news my friends. Looks like this show gets cut off just as I was starting to get things sorted out. My current work travel contract just informed me that they have found a permanent employee for the position that I am filling in for, so they will not need to extend my contract. That’s the way it goes sometimes but unfortunately it means I need to move again in one month.
That’s no where near enough time to finish any of these Sativa girls so I’m going to have to yank them.
Still, our house is not finished, so I’ll need to take one last contract in yet a different location, again for three months.
I have clones that I’ll keep as mothers and I’ll run those once we are in our final location but I think I better just wait on these long flower satty girls and instead I’ll look to ACEs faster options.
I have the bubba hash, snow moon, the hashplant S1, PCK, and Kali China.
I thought about trying to squeeze in a Nepal jam grow, but whatever I run needs to be done in 9 weeks of flowering amd Im not sure the Nepal jam would be done in time.
So I’m thinking I’ll run the bubba hash and snow moon, seems like they will easily finish in 9 weeks and be about the same structure as well making for an even canopy. Probably the same feeding requirements also. Sorry guys!

Sorry to see the show end early, but I agree with your reasoning, why spend power and wear out your lights for no reason, better to pack it in until you get situated in a more permanent home. Kind of funny sometimes the choices life throws our way, but when it comes down to it, life really is nothing but making choice, put quite simply. I think you made a wise choice.Uuuggghhh ..... bad news my friends. Looks like this show gets cut off just as I was starting to get things sorted out.

Have a blessed 2021 brother.
Peace, God bless
Appreciate that brother... looking for a new contract as we speak. Good news is this will be the last one, as the builders assured us the new, delayed finish date on the house would be sometime around March or April. They assured us it would be finished by then. So that’s good news.
So as mentioned, I either gotta run something quick or just pack things up for the time being and look after the mums.

Welp I enjoyed the show even if we didn't get the exciting conclusion we knew was coming. Until next time
