July 18: the four early version photoperiods all seem to have started flowering but I’m forcing them anyway.
See last years Wonder Pie diary for test of unforced versus forced. At this northern latitude force flowering is required to get nice buds forming while the sunlight is still strong.
Used 16 feet of standard electrical conduit secured with rebar posts hammered into ground. Distance across is 5 feet and there is 4 feet between each conduit. Used panda film (opaque black and white) but it was only available in 10 foot width so I had to duct tape it together. Hopefully it holds well enough for the planned two weeks of forcing. Doing it from 9 pm to 9 am each day.
@Rap_a_cap, thanks. First year trying this at scale and while it has mostly worked it’s also been quite challenging. If you’re interested in 11Roses I’d also suggest you check out the Unknown Kush which seems to be the male plant they used. The UK is doing great and is a really beautiful plant especially now with the fall colours.
@Rap_a_cap, I remembered to go back and add a comment about about the taste after it was first saved. Smell seems fairly mild but my sense of smell is pretty bad and the bud is freeze dried which locks terpenes in and minimizes smell when first out of dryer. It’s a very nice Kush type smoke.
Hey mate. Happy Growing. Was having the same trouble like you did and there was mission saving soldier Ryan - movie. This year I was a little cookie so did vege indoor and put plants outdoor in second half of march and than it started... Had some -5°C in the morning, ice, snow, no sun etc.... Tomato, tomatillo, pumpkins, kelj and some chilli papers wanished those days, just potato survived and also all of the plants. They beggin to flower but now they are recovered and looking healthy, strenght and have vigorous growth... for you I have just one advice to say and that is to put transparent PVC bucket on your plants so they can calibrate too the sun and feel the nature regardless the minus °C. Keep the good work.

Que puedo esperar de mi " alquimia"??? Eleven Roses (pack semillas oferta) seran buenas estas semillas?? Que esperar se yeld y que strains me saldran?
@TommyBVRSA75, hi there. My Spanish is very weak, and I don’t see the translate button, but what you are doing sounds good to me.
I liked all three Delicious early strains (11Roses, Unknown Kush, and Golosa) and I used them all to make hash that tested at 44% Total THC. All three are great and Unknown Kush was my favourite. Good luck, and you might consider using a bit of blackstrap molasses during some waterings to provide sugar (carbs) for the soil microbes.
Good luck.
