Back from the Dead.

Back in control of my Nutes, potted on, everything is flying, I don't know how many days the lockout put me behind? at least 16 days.But we are here now 5 days after flip and at the point where things start to get interesting. As you may notice my nutes are at minimum c/f levels. I bounce them about from as low as point 8 to around 1.2. There are two reasons I do this, the main one being 'Root development' and the plants internal rooting switches not being allowed to go into 'Chill Mode.' Gotta make em work and search for food. I couple this with always keeping them wet ( Well Oxygenated water is essential to make this work) This means my plants don't have to make those huge water searching taproots and just focus on finding food which it does with a much finer and more efficient network of roots. My other reason for keeping nutes very low is the stretch! I have 9 plants in a 4x4 so the only way is up. Also I will not trim out the lower branches on individual plants until the stretch is over. I won't sort out final positions for the plants until stretch finishes either, only then will I put my wires in to do a bit of LST and get the light shared out between them. I said I have 9 plants in the tent, two of them are very late in sexually maturing. A digi microscope is showing some weird looking immature flowers, the Scotts OG has pistils showing at some nodes but other sites on main stem look a bit masculine or are double calyxed? wait and see eh? This along wth the the Ghost Trains are by the door. As I said in my first post this GTH has a couple of mutations, quad and triple nodes, leaf fingers above and below main leaf, it has tiny flower structures with massive guards leaves covering them, even with the microscope I can't determine sex. I grew the GTH reg's looking for a male, not found. But the Scott's OG male is very interesting. Big, Robust plenty of resin. It isn't highly aromatic but there is a whiff of buttery cinnamon buns and a hint of citrus on a stem, leaf rub. From experience these mean next to nothing, the only thing that matters to me in a male is if he carries and passes the potency gene on. Been caught out a few times with smelly highly resinous, big flowered males whose progeny were all that, but no potency. ( pollen chuckers lottery) Anyways, next weekend I will pull these plants out of the tent, get individual photo's and Bio's. I had better make myself some time to do it!
