Update - Friday 11th July
Ok so this week has been a bit up and down with regards to my mental health so it’s been hard to maintain daily feeding but I havnt fertigated daily their whole life cycle so it’s no big stress. Every other day is fine with a little water to top up the res when it’s been super hot.
The smell of the terps from this lemon pie is crazy.
It smells as lemony as super lemon haze without having the lean towards sativa, sounds perfect to me, I don’t really grow tall sativa leaning hybrids, just short and made even shorter by tying them down constantly. They just get huge! Even in soil, rather than passive hydro, it just takes slightly longer in soil, however, feeding is WAY easier. I just pre-mix the soil with fish blood and bone and some extra bone meal and then use plenty of microbes.
So it’s mainly just water with weekly microbes.
I don’t like mixing nutes every time I need to feed the plants.
I think they probably have about another week or two left and will be done.
They are starting to fill out now as you can see from the above photos of the buds forming.
@sdoyle,Must be to do with environment - Chemotype turning into phenotype. Also there are only three breeders i actually would bother growing outtheir autos that i can get my hands on and FastBuds just seem to keep sending me out their newest seeds - im definitely not complaining at all! One im just germinating can reach 27% THC! That's crazy for an auto. TBH i never found RQS any good. The flavours were nice but aweful bud structures! an ounce looked like 2. Not that i tend to weigh it but i was interested what an ounce of really fluffy loose weed looked like lol. Also if you look at the fastbuds videos on their website the guy always has the corresponding plant sat next to him and they are ALWAYS topped to make tying them down easier. I go a step further, mainline her and then tie her down. Sometimes she needs some micropore tape if she splits or even a zip tie works really well!
I also just finished processing some opium so will probably make hash out of the 2 odd ounces i have of that Ayahuasca Purple strain. I already have the bags, i could make bubble hash with water but i'd rather wait and order dry ice cubes then do a dry sift. i much prefer the consistency once pressed.
I will probably mix that with the opium once i haqve managed to detox off my buprenorphine. Gotta have those long term projects!
The stretch is coming on both I think! There are just a few pre-flowers so they are both getting ready.
I’ll give them a little more of a transition to flowering when I next feed.
