Wanted badly to do the DesFran again. Due to mind blowing outcome last test strain blog i did for Tone & Jouk & Henk.
This time it is my own sativa Hybridization. With Euforia, ie DesForia DP F1 Hybrid back crossed fem, that i did myself.
That led to bed partners with the 100% Fem sativa Power Plant. as the DF is 100% Sativa as well.
Wanted one other strain i haven't done for a long time. That is Dp's "Durban Poison" a force to be reckoned with at any time. And this is an "Auto" of the strain.
The full on aroma of the DesFran will be floating across the "Pyramid Stage" tonight, at "Glasto". You will be able to smell it in "Pilton" !!................. as Florence & The Nightingales takes to the Pyramid centre stage, tonight. So i am there in essence, DF essence !! at the last ever Glsto at the Withy farm site. I never did make it to the show......... typical the last one has good weather for the last run.
Old man Evis said, it is getting to complicated and wey to many people for absolute safety on the site to be guaranteed ?/ And time is up at the withy farm site.
So here we are then; The new dame set for "Autumn Harvest" here is the kit;
Germination was 100% in all three strains; and then the top dogs selected to take forward. selection ratio was 1:5 DF fem DP Auto & PP fem
canna Cocco pro Plus is my medium this run. And quite pleased so far, color and health is superb.
Into this i added 15% perlite with the spec dose of EcoThrive "Charge" with the usual RHS RootGrow. And thats it in the pro Plus.
Nute is, NPK tuned by mix ratio GreenAir's Genesis (High Conc) Grow2 + 15/0/8 Micro-nutrient complex 3/10/19 + Bloom Nutrient 3 6/15/17 a quality breakdown of these on the greenair site.
Beans straight to final "7Ltr tall Rose" pot and cling filmed for germ.
Th ecothrive "Charge" is doing it's stuff, kus these are much larger for their age at 33 days and 9 in flower since 12/12....... they are defo bigger !! add in the Ph 100% stable pro Plus media.............. looking good. And check the color on low Ec's....... currently on 0.4 nute plus 150ppm of RO buffer. ie, 550ppm of treated (De-Gassed & Re-Gassed) tap water, at 23c, added to RO to hit 150ppm buffer. Then Ph'ed then add nute, then silicone to bring back up Ph from 5.8 to 6.5 at day 33. temp range 19-28c RH 52 VPD Vapor Pressure Differential is "Low" and that good.... air flow through 13.5m3 space is 260 cubic feet an hour, or 18 time air volume changed per hour, taking into account 400m3/Hr fan back pressure losses. But good enough.
Just over one month old then...... The DesForia Power Plant & Poison Auto >>.

Durban Poison Auto (Now On 12/12) 18/6 veg
Cripy looking on the Pro Plus, Boads well for the final PK salt run !!
DesForia Autoberry (Falia 1)
The 7 ltr pot is containing the height superbly. but will still give 85% yield comp to 15ltr vessel. that i proved in 5ltr vessels !! AB's (Double Fem) DesForia >>
DesForia
Had to top this one though, topped at 25 days, but under control "At The Moment" !!
Due to perlite volume, and new spec pro plus, and in adition the typical much lower drinking rate of the high strain Sativa's, i am only watering to run off every 3 days. could easy leave them for 4 days.
i tried out the tromf watering system without the ceramic. just using a micro valve on the 6mm down pipe from res. But found the dripper nearest the res (High pressure) was giving 800mm in 6mins, and at the end of pipe run the dripper gave 250mls ??
The 6mm pipe run was 2mtrs long with 8 single drippers of that run. tried elevating drippers near res to slow flow and even it. No good. The res was, 80cm above top of pot, to bottom of res 30ltr. two 2m 6mm feed pipe runs coming of the res either end of 30ltr res.
Returned to hand watering 1ltr in 2no 5 deciliter shots each every 3-4 days......... even flow guaranteed !! been having to tie some of the bows into the plant, onto main stem, as the bows are shooting up on the Charge, to the canopy !!.......
Hope alls well with all....... thanks for looking in guy's...have a great weekend all inc Glasto crew !!.. Karma to yuz all fellow growers de LED......... rumor has it "M" got some new kit coming, X3 ? to put the 189 in the shade power wise !!........ going to be a good winter Tee Abud belvoir LB LED bredren brothers !!.....
