Planning to LST in the next week after they have settled in to the flower tent and more intense light, this is why they are not exactly evenly spaced. Took clones off vegging plants before flip, 4 weeks in humi dome in solo cups then transplanted into 1 gallons and vegged for 6 weeks under T5s while flower tent ripened. Plan to veg a few more weeks before flip, accidentally topped the small clone when transplanting, will see what happens. Mulched with stems and fan leaves from last grow. The website only lets me type in 80gal, but this is actually 150 gallon fabric pot that i’ve shrink wrapped to help dry out less quickly and act as a vapor barrier. Temps got a little high end of last flower so running lights at night this time around and lights on is cooler by ~5 degrees.
Was overwatering AGAIN to sprout cover crop, when will I learn...🙄 2 of transplants still a little yellow, but wilting has improved and they are all rebounding. Upped light to 50% which is helping dry out, mulch layer a little thin this time around so planning to add more to increase moisture retention in top of soil and holding off watering to let the container dry out some. Foliar fed on Tuesday and they perked up a lot
Top dressed with homemade worm castings, fishbone meal, gypsum, humic acid and malted corn, watered in with diluted sea water. Natural farming change-over foliar with AgSil, epsom, and fulvic. Plants were praying, ready for flip in a week
Canopy is much more even this time around with one runt in the mix, used LST through out veg. Natural farming change-over foliar and flipping tomorrow.
Flowers are sparkling and stacking well thanks to extra K (borage extract, KMag, coconut water and kelp in early flower) and P (fish bone and soft rock phosphate amended at transplant and top-dressed with worm casting monthly).
Not seeing any deficiencies yet, had some by now in last cycle, LA is hungry! Upping calcium this week. Lots more colas this time with twice as many plants and using clones, much more even canopy and watering. Pistils just starting to turn orange. Heat crept up to 88* for a couple hours when humi ran out of water, keeping an eye on refilling but don’t see any damage.
Starting to see some lower leaves yellow, but not concerned. Colas are getting heavy and starting to lean, tying some branches together to help more evenly distribute.i also removed the front of the large fan to put less stress on the gears, was starting to make a noise when oscillating but not hearing it any more.
#1 and #2 phenos are really starting to flop over, have them tied up to keep good airflow. I’m reconsidering #3, last grow it was the runt and produced a quarter of the other phenos so I ruled it out to keep as a mom. However, it is the prettiest, most colorful, and earliest to ripen, this grow it is not in front of the fan and while still more compact than the others has grown much better this time. If it yields well I may keep it, we’ll see. It is not flopping at all and not showing as much deficiency as the others.
My large fan finally died, It was an older reused fan and I’ve been running continuously since January...I rearranged my outlets and have room to put the new fan on a timer now, it turns off for an hour every eight hours to prevent overheating and extend life. The small fans were already on timers and run when the large one goes off. I also removed the finger guards completely which makes it weigh a lot less and puts less stress on the gears.
Fading fast now, starting to see yellowing leaves on small plant now but not worried. Trying to take to 10 weeks but may only go one more week. Last round harvested at 9 weeks but think I pulled a little early, hairs were orange/brown but not fully retracted. They may not retract fully under LEDs, we’ll see. Not seeing any amber in the trichs yet, like them all milky with little bit of amber. Humidity is around 45% which is a little low for VPD and I think what is causing the yellowing the most, but don’t want to risk higher humidity this late
Buds look great at harvest, the runt surprised me with much larger flowers this time around! I love the way it looks, more colorful than the other phenos. I changed the cure location to a bathroom and was able to get temps down to 68* hoping that helps with flavor this time around temps averaged mid 70s last time
