T-Dubs Pepe Le Pez experiment

[DetroitDarren]

I'm back with some seeds from a recent raffle that I won, T-Dubs Shrubs Pepe Le Pez. I have sprouted 2 and we'll call this day 1.

I am doing something different this time, a little experiment.

I've grown using Fox Farms fertilizer for the last 3 or so years. I get good results, 4 or 5 ounces a plant, but the buds taste very similar and don't carry any of the flavors that are listed on the sites out there. No skunk, no diesel, no berry, no citrus...just the same flavor.

It may be the curing process, most likely is, but I wanted to see if the fertilizer affects the flavor.

So for this run, I am doing T-Dubs Shrubs Pepe Le Pez, A and B. A will get feed as I normally do and B will get water. Other than food, everything else is constant.

Soil is Sunshine Mix #4 from Menard's
Light is a 450watt SideKing
Light schedule is 24/0
Fabric pots
Water is 6.2-6.5 pH
Temp is 72-73°F

Fertilizer is Fox Farms Cultivation Nation Veggie for veg and Fox Farms Cultivation Nation Flower for flower.

And here we go!

Day 5

They are both getting started and are neck and neck with both just getting their second set of leaves going.

Right now they are getting 1.5 oz of just water and will slowly increase as they get bigger.

Question for the group... When should I start feeding plant A? I think maybe like 21 days in, give it a few weeks and then start, or would you start feeding earlier?

Here are some pics
Plant A

Plant B

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

I got no advice for soil grows. I do want to see how stuff from T-dubs turn out. Seen ol @Son of Hobbes is friends with him.

So I think I will start around week 2 ish...

Found this online: Start light feeding once the plant has 3–4 nodes (true sets of leaves).
At this stage the roots are established and ready to uptake nutrients.

Day 8

Added a humidifier to the room to help the girls out. I don't have my gauge just yet, it's in the mail.

Both are doing great. Up to 2 oz of water each.

Here is A

And here is B

Both are working on their second set of real leaves.

Thanks for stopping by.

Day 15

Started feeding A this morning with a small dose of fox farms Cultivation Nation veg.

Let the experiment begin!
A

B

They are neck and neck right now, so it'll be interesting to see the difference in size and taste.

I put a little humidity in the air, so sitting right around 78-80rh. A little high, but they seem to like it.

That's it s for now. Thanks for stopping by!

Day 21

It's feeding day. I top dressed plant A and gave them both about a half gallon each, wetting most of the pot. Both got bent over today too, time to expose those lower branches.

Plant A

And Plant B

They are still neck to neck, but A just started getting fed this week. Now it's off to the races and see how much more A will be than B.

Thanks for stopping by.
