Not as resinous as I would have thought?...
I have have a couple plants that are flowering out in my garden, under a transparent grow tent (to keep elements out and let sunlight in). A GDP and Bubbleberry-(BlueberryxBubblegum). They seem to be healthy plants in most respects, however they are not as resinous as I would have figured they would be.
At the moment, they are about 5 weeks into flowering
I have seen many plants that are completely covered with resin and I was wondering if I may be doing somethign wrong?
My setup:
Bubbleberry is in a 7 gallon bucket and 57" tall
The GDP is in the ground and @around 32" tall
Soil
My soil mix was 1/2 Harvest Supreme soil (good soil from ACE), 1/6 perlite, 1/6 vermiculite, and the rest a decent soil from ACE.
Ph
My ph is at around 6.6-6.8 on both plants
Nutes/watering
I use 2tsp Fox Farm tiger Bloom, 1tsp molasses, 3 drops superthrive(every other feeding), 1/3 ounce B-1 (every other week). I have added a tsp of FF Grow Big to the mix for the last two feedings, as the schedule seems to state (on the FF web site)
I use this mix for two feedings, then plain H2O for the third, and repeat the cycle
I feed/water every 2 days, or as the soil needs it (using my moisture meter to test
Light
the plants get direct light from about 11am to 530-6pm. ( I have started taking the cover off of the tent so that the plants do not have a plastic barrier between them and the sun. But put it back on at night.
I have trimmed both plants so that the leaves the bud sites are getting a lot of sun, but tried to do it sparingly as I did not want to take away a lot of the leaves (nute storage/solar panels/transpiration).
I live on the Central Coast of California so moisture/heat/humidity are not a real problem.
As I said, my plants look healthy otherwise, I just thought they would be more white with resin than they seem to be? But, maybe they will get there when they get closer to the time I believe I am supposed to harvest them (late sept/early oct)? If anyone has any ideas on what I may be able to do to beef them up a bit, I would really appreciate it. This is all going to be for my personal use, so they do not have to look pretty just be potent and tasty with as large a yield as possible.
The pics on bottom are of the two colas on the two plants (the one with purplish stems is the Bubbleberry) , and the grow tent I have when it is pulled out of the line of sunlight.
