Very nice!! This is one of the frostier strains I've ever grown. The smoke is fantastic as well. Very thought provoking stuff. The type of strain that makes me want to fire up some tunes and be productive. I germinated 8, and got 2 females ... which is par for the course for me lately. #3 was the more squat, dense nugget girl. #7 was the lankier, bigger yielding blueberry smelling variety. A touch leafier, and a little more airy buds. You can really see the Blue Dream influence on this one. Keep in mind these plants were abused. I had to top them coming out of veg to take clones because there was no side branching to clone from. Plus they were kept in a spare bedroom that has major light leaks because we had a frozen pipe/flood insurance claim so there were adjusters and contractors all up in my flower room for a month straight. All things considered they turned out great. I'm going to have a tough time eliminating one of them. I'm growing them out again from clone before deciding...
I know what you mean! With the Dream Beaver I only now finally decided on my keeper. Ran it three times now. It is still Milla
Bro, go get your hands on one of the remaining Appy satty crosses if you want to combat all the beanstalks you have been getting. I know for sure these all have super strong side branching and only a single topping is needed to get a huge bush:
Dream Beaver, Appalachian Thunderfuck, The Fuzz...
Awesome post Steelheader. I have found that dilution depends on stage. Once they are in week 4 of veg you can go 1:1. You can get your ph perfect with dilution also depending upon what your water's ph is of course. Teas are so damn easy. I know not everyone cares about ph. I know I shouldn't but my dilution just makes it perfect going in. I'm a freak. I honor the "to each their own"method.
My pH used to end a bit high, you can bring it down with fish emulsion
Careful though, it drops it pretty fast.
I love it all too! It took me almost a year to get my veg and bloom teas right. Better light n safe. Teas can be brutal when busy though. One thing I noticed is PH getting way low with teas. My Protekt seems to combat this...plus the liming agents in my soil. Anyone her (excluding hy) use SSTs religiously?
Funny I always end up with a high pH again. Most of my teas have a touch of aloe, wonder if this makes a difference...
This last outdoor run I didn't give a shit about pH. I just ignored it. Everything worked out just fine. Soils were cooked for long enough, just a tiny touch of lime, and then I simply trusted the soil biology to take over from me. Few All Purpose Teas, with the last 6 weeks ACT only. They are definitely not hungry, still waiting for the fade, doesn't look like it will happen though. They are kicking and super strong, flowering much faster than I am used to also.
Red, I got into the SST for a while but I noticed plants seem to metabolize especially Nitrogen a lot faster. It definitely increased my plants' feeding needs. On my hungrier Beavers I actually couldn't keep up with the feeds organically so I stopped the SST. I think it is a load of shit. Plants recovered nicely after I stopped. So no thanks not for me, I think adding hormones and enzymes is a tad unnatural and is going towards a hydro way of thinking. Talk about forcing a plant. Nothing forces an organism and each individual cell within it harder and more violently than a hormone. Enzymes are a close second.
