UPDATE - Saturday 3rd July
ok, so the week has been good. The plant has been fading niucely, which i think is due to the flush. When i started this diary i added that 2 out of 2 seeds germinated properly. Therefore i had two plants, however, the guys at the growdiaries.com said that its a single strain dfiary so i am going to post the last pictures of harvest under a normal 'Flower' week.
It's really hard to tell when they are done or not. My microscope is SUPER hard to use but i can check the trichomes with it, however, at the moment its only when i chop it and can have an inspection where my PC is that i can see whats going on. Not ideal. Should order one of those standard jewelers loupes, i just never seem to get round to it.
I was running out of electricity at an alarming rate so i dedided to harvestnthe lemon pie (i believe thats the shortest flower time out of them all), however, i have nowhere to put the pics of the better plant! boooo!
I have simply been feeding with plain water from my water well with a bubble disk/plate or circular flat airstone connected to a pretty powerful airpump so im confident that it has got rid of the chlorine in order to let the microbes do their thing. This is why i added the Worm Castings to the inert media.
No the biggest of all plants but squeezed into a 60x60cm tent with another plnt flowering in an 11L hempy bucket. As long as you keep the reservoir filled at the bottom of the hempys, your golden. You also start to learn how heavy it is and how much moisture is in there from that.
@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.
