Day 21 Flowering: Well what a week it has been this week growmies
Dealing with flash heat waves , building soils , setting up new lights and generally trying to squeeze every last inch of my grow space for plants without creating a stagnant lower growth below the canopy . airflow is vital with such a cramped , hot and dense budded canopy starting.
I have been feeding the Banana mash with a slightly lighter feed than the Purple monkey and they look a lot less toxic. Still way behind the Purple Monkey for bud production and density , theyvare stretching wildly still. The main 3 are very similar in size etc but #4 is really getting like a bowl of noodles now and will need some serious thinning out and brutal decisions in who goes to harvest time. Being in the middle of the canopy she is really trying to spread out wider too. The Banana mash are really good,vigorous growers with lots of side branching to create some really big plants full of budsites , the key will be if you can utilise all of that growth or if ,like me, you need to select the best branches and tips to focus on.
The Purple Monkey are all doingreally good and for 21 days , the buds are very well developed. It could indicate an early flowering finish around 7 weeks possibly but I am hoping it is more about their intended finish being huge buds. The #1and #2 are really packing the weight on amd stacking the nodes already. this gives their buds a really solid appearance already and I will be very cautious of allowing moisture to build up with this density . The #3 is a different pheno to the other 2 and her buds are further apart and more spikey looking. She is also trying to hit the clouds still so need to be firmly held down if you want to keep them low. I have been supercropping the tallest of the limbs and trying to keep them upright enough to stay in the light available. She will need support once her buds pack the weight on. They are all starting to smell so sweet too and even now have a nice sticky appeal when touched. I could not recommend this strain enough and love growing it already. The purple is starting to appear in #2 already and should continue as it is not related to temp drops at all that can happen . Shebwill live up to her namesake i think. The other 2 are pure white and solent green looking buds which are a great examples of what they can do. I can only see a great yield from how they are going now and wishbinjad a room full of them .lol.
The other 2 crosses are both starting to hit their stretch max now with the Exotic? really looking thick and bushy and showing her sex now. She needs to stretch now to get her mains up into the canopy without the tub underneath. The Mango X Mimosa is in full flowering mode for sure with no signs of any male gonads or hermie behaviour...It is making a huge plant so far and with the massive growth of the father being the main driver I think and she/he put out over 5oz. Fingers crossed for that size with beautiful exotic mango cream buds .....
So there we have it for this update growmies. Hope the video isn't too long this time guys but a lot happening in the room. Until next time. keep it green and be free .
@spyder,Thanks spyder. i am a fan of the breeders tbh. just finishing some more of their genetics with 3 strains and had an excellent mango cream harvest from 4 too. excited to see what we have here now.
@TrickOrTrip,thanks trip. loving the vigour of them so far. all so willing to play ball. now seeing buds so no sneaky male nanners either. lol . I am on virgin defence mode now after last run had a non-eunuch sneak in and spread pollen...be well bud
@Ferenc, thanks. the co2 jas always been a great help with the oven the space can create. deflecting the suns heat away from the roof tiles was a huge win once I got it right. does stop a lot of overheating when the summer hits here . genetics for sure plays a big role too.
@MarsHydroLED, thank you. got to sing the praises of the tsl2000 and the sp3000. i can keep a lot of plants moving through with the footprint it gives out. All three stages in together to keep perpetually growing. I have the tent rattling in a box waiting to get used now too will be figuring out a best way for use it without losing the great footprint already being achieved. would love to put the sp3000 inside the tent with 6 plants but would lose the great results i am getting from them in this array now. the tsl is brilliant but would struggle to keep them as happy and productive on its own in a big space like the 5ftx5ft footprint and I wouldn't be able to bring younger plants along until the harvests either. trying to figure it out at lol thank you
@Ganjagrandaddy,.. Im3sure we ..your grow family can figure out any problem any of us might have so feel free to ask for any advise ...๐๐๐๐๐ค๐ค๐๐ช๐๐ช๐ช๐๐ฌGROWMIE FAM
Hello there! Love those sativa leaning hybrids with their long stems and stacking buds style like yours, awesome, some need very little manicuring!
Well done and thanks for sharing!
@Eauderay, Thanks for the positives. Have to agree there too. sommuchbeasier to rim a few fans off and a little manicure of sugar leaves. bundles of bud always look like fruit to crunch too. so different to the other 2 with their donkey doing appearance. spikey looking buds on #3 too. have high hopes for these ladies.
