Black Widow x Zunami Test

[Mr. Brown]

Day 35

My lovely 'Black Zu' grows like weed

The roots expoded

Today I transfered 'Black Zu' to the Nutriculture Flo-Gro system

She already has a very pleasant sweet smell

Day 36

Just a quick update 'Black Zu' survived the repotting and looks good in her new home

Some facts:
height ~20 cm (8 inches)
air temperature is ~25°C
RH ~50%
The nutrient solution is made with Terra Aquatica Pro Organic Grow (2ml per liter) and Terra Aquatica Calcium Magnesium Suplement (2ml per liter).
water temperature ~23°C
pH ~6,5
EC ~875
I plan to switch the light cycle to 12/12 when 'Black Zu' is ~30cm (12 inches) high.

I bet she will be a beast

@Mr. Brown she looks about as happy as can be in her new home. I'm sure it won't be long before she's ready for you to flip her.

Thanks @Diesel840

Looking beautiful mate

Thanks @easty

Looking ok.
I would love see you growing in organic soil

pH ~6,5

She will take of if you fix the ph issues you have . 6,5 is at the high end for veg at coco.
You must keep it between 5,8- 6,2,she already started get def ,is still early to catch up with her.

A comparison grow in organic soil with this 'Black Zu' seems to be a good idea

According to Terra Aquatica the preferred pH range for these organic nutrients is between 6,0 and 7,0. That's why I always try to stay ~6,5
I will check out how she likes it with a little lower pH

Yes please!

 

[easty]

Day 28 of flowering and they are looking nice. Appears there are some purple stamens on these buds if you look closely

In bioponic you are supposed to handle the pH a little different

What is Bioponics™ / “Organic” hydroponics? - Terra Aquatica

“Organic” gardening or farming means different things in many countries. To many consumers it means food grown without unnecessary chemicals […]

www.terraaquatica.com

'During growth, pH is more difficult to stabilise than in mineral hydroponics because arbitrary organic regulations prohibit the use of some extremely efficient buffers. This means nutrient solution pH will tend to rise. But the pH doesn’t have the same importance in bioponics. It can rise to 7.5 with no problem. Over 7.5 it must be driven slowly down to 6.0, but progressively, over a period of five to six days.'

I see how the your plant respond and I see def from high ph Have you ever try use Bio biz ph regulator?

Day 40

The weather in the last days changed from ~15°C and rain to ~28°C and sunshine. The temperature in the grow tent jumped up to ~30°C and RH dropped to ~30%. My lovely 'Black Zu' didn't like the climate change at all and suffered visible I dimmed down the LED to 70% and hung a wet cotton cloth inside the tent to lower the temperature and RH to get back into the right VPD range

Yesterday I took 2 cuttings from the lowest branches and put 1 in a perlite/vermiculite mix and the 2nd in an Eazyplug. Both were soaked in a light nutrien solution with Trichoderma.

Keep her happy

Day 45

Today I switched the light cycle to 12/12 and defoliated 'Black Zu' a little. She seems to be back on track

After defoliation

Some facts:
height ~35 cm (14 inches)
air temperature ~28°C
RH ~50%
water temperature ~25°C
pH ~6,1
EC ~1345

The cuttings look good so far

Keep her happy

Love that top view @Mr. Brown

Great News Mr. B, lookin forward for the report.

Here is this weeks update

Week 5: not much happening other than buds getting bigger, and denser.
So for the first time i stuck my nose into the plants and noted my impressions and thoughts while doing that for us.

#1: Slightly Sour, with a little apple, not super strong but it´s there. Surprised and interesting first impression. Feels like most indica type, not much resin production.
#2: similar smell to #1, a bit diffrent but can´t figure out the diffrence. much more resin than #1

then i accidently smelled #4 while thinking its #3.

#4: much more intense, it´s the sour-apple thing in more intense, i´m almost shocked so i smell again, it´s like i said before:intense sour-apple with the addition of some highly concentrated acid-citrus bath-cleaner smell. I don´t know how you call it, i said "funky smell", very special: it´s a nice, pleasant intense smell. Bud-structure also really dense, plant seems like the most "hybrid" plant of the pack. I´m hyped at this point, then realize it´s #4 and not #3. Let´s hope that smell translates to a good smoke.
#3: try to clear my nose and take a sniff of that #3: it´s not that intense, it´s similar to #4 but without the bathroom-cleaner smell, maybe my nose is broken after #4: i smell sour, sweet, fruity maybe bit earthy. Little bit of everything, no extremes
#5: i dont smell anything, either my nose is broken or there is just not that much small on that plant.

Still really impressed with the smell of #4 i start taking pictures, roll a big joint and edit these things into 2 pics and send it to the internet.

Day 36 of flowering for me on these Black Zu ladies and I'm starting to get a nice mix of smells ranging from fruity spice to piney and sweet! These girls are hitting their stride now and I'm excited to see how thick they end up
