Malawi Gold ScrOG with Magenta Kessil

[Mohican]

OK - Busy day today and now I am a zombie. Made an arty pic of a bud and there are some daily update shots of outdoors and for Slanty - my ugly roots. I added MOAB today. I am thinking I will let the indoor go for two more weeks and then she is out. I may just work outdoors until the season is done and then go back inside. Both is just giving me a split personality...

Looks like you got some issues with the roots..

Brown slime maybe.

Are you doing anything to combat that?

 

[Mohican]

Yes - Bene tea is what is making them come back. See all the new white tips?

 

[billcollector99]

I was about to say you should try using a compost tea.

Yeah.... been there done that a few weeks ago. Only reason his plant is still alive imo.

Looks like you need more tea in there though Mo. You should have seen a way bigger improvement by now. You have been adding it for a couple of weeks now no?

 

[Mohican]

Hey Slanty - thanks for reminding me - I need to brew some more tea! I am kinda losing interest in the indoor since it is going to be such a low yield of questionable quality. I just want to start a new grow with a happy plant that I do not veg too long. However I have so much going on outside right now with my veggies and MJ that I do not have time to deal with a new indoor grow also. The pests are starting to multiply and I need to start trying all of the preventatives. Already got started with a few tricks.


Cheers,
Mo

cannazyme would only make this issue much worse with areoponics......zyme would feed the bad bacteria...

i think you will be ok Mo remember they are a weed! they will survive given the harshest climate! when your outdoor girls start to flower the bugs won't be so much of a problem...they cant eat what they cant get to, and they only get stuck in the trichs

 

[Mohican]

Hey FlowaMasta - I am really excited about the outdoor girls. The indoor is bulking up and I hope she can finish bofore the rot kills everything.

The bugs ruined half of my harvest last year. Full of bug poop and holes

Using neem, Safer BT, Sevin and Ditomaceous Earth this time. The ants are my problem this year.

I read on RIU that if you put Cocaine on your plants it makes them grow better. Half a kilo should be enough:

Cheers,
Mo

 

[Mohican]

Hehe - just kidding I am trying Diatomaceous Earth (DE) to deter any pests. I have already seen a couple budworms dangling from their strings trying to get away!

 

[Mohican]

DE for hydro:

Hydroponics

Freshwater diatomite can be used as a growing medium in hydroponic gardens.
It is also used as a growing medium in potted plants, particularly as bonsai soil. Bonsai enthusiasts use it as a soil additive, or pot a bonsai tree in 100% diatomaceous earth. Like perlite, vermiculite, and expanded clay, it retains water and nutrients, while draining fast and freely, allowing high oxygen circulation within the growing medium.

Hi All - This has been a busy weekend! I got my camera back It is a little wonky though The selection wheel does not work right now and the autofocus seems to be off a bit. I still managed to take more pictures than I can easily sift through. I spent all day working on these.

OK - Big Clone update

She is responding to the bending and bondage with remarkable results. She got a little wilted yesterday in the afternoon so I know I am not overwatering

BTW - I bent the FIM top branches down today to make them even with the other tips. I need to get on a ladder to get a top shot of this girl all spread out

 

[Mohican]

Indoor mama is teetering on the brink. The rot is causing leves to drop off by the handfull. It is starting to reach the lower buds. I hope she makes it two more weeks!

Finally got around to brewing my bene tea! Got some stockings this time

Cheers,
Mo


P.S. - I realized the new smell in the res was the molasses

 

[Rascality Afoot]

Dude! Subscribed. Love the african sativa. This will be rad. Have you looked into making traditional Malawi cobb? It'd be worth sacrificing a 1/4oz to try anyhow. If you soak the roots of that one plant in a solution of 1 part 3% peroxide with 10 parts water for ten minutes or so it'll work wonders. I wanna smoke this vicariously through you...

 

[billcollector99]

Hey Mo, I think you got longer than 2 weeks still to flower...

 

[Mohican]

Welcome Rascality Afoot!

I started with the H2O2 method but it just did not stop the rot. This bene tea is really doing the trick and I should have done it sooner. I made the problem worse by cutting back the number of air stones - the clear tubing was also helping it grow and the CFLs were making the cab too warm.


Today when I was pulling out the dead leaves, I finally got a nice wiff of bud perfume! This Malawi emits such a refreshing clean spicy scent of mint and basil. And the resin is more waxy than sticky. I hope she makes it two more weeks. However, if she bites it, I have the outdoor girls that are chugging along at light speed


Cheers,
Mo

Hey Mo, I think you got longer than 2 weeks still to flower...

Me too - but I do not know if the plant will make it that long
