Put the Scrog nets in place this week and spread them across the net.
Had a bit of a mess up with my timer, It didn't switch from 18/6 to 12/12 so I had a week of extra veg time I hadn't anticipated but its no big deal just means girls will finish even bigger. I have had problems leaving them this late in veg with certain strains getting way to lanky and stretch to close to the HPS 1000w I used to use but now that I had switched to LED's that wont be as much of a problem as you can slam the LED's down as close as 8inches from the tops. Also that issue with big stretch is strain dependant, the "Orange Sherbert" is a much more bushy Indica style.
So Week 2 of flower is actually just week 1 now. I cant find a way to edit that part of the diary, still getting the hang of this website ✌️
@Esoteric_growing, Your right, I wouldn't use it normally until I see pistols either but I had a minor deficiency last run during transition so its just something I am trying. It's a very small does for the amount of water in the system. Just a little dash to keep the girls happy. Thank you for your comment 😃
@pheverone, yeah most of the blue cheese phenos are pretty average apart from the one that stinks to high heaven. The LSD was also fairly average in today’s standards.
All those strains you just bought I am very interested in👍
Every pack of 5 runtz has at least one keeper of rediculous quality but don’t expect a high yield lol
@Esoteric_growing, Yeah the extra heat from HPS can be a blessing come winter time. Ive come close to popping pineapple chunk a couple of times but never pulled the trigger. The 5-10 seed pheno hunt seems to be the ticket, thats exactly how I do it myself, there can be a lot of runts that come from the seeds.
Thats interesting about the lemon pheno I never came across that one myself unfortunately. I just bought the MIMOSA PUNCH,WATERMELON ZKITTLEZ, BLUE SUNSET SHERBERT and LEMON TREE to pheno hunt with next.
I have also grown the Cookies Kush, Purple Punch & Phantom I would not recommend either the cookies had horrible bud structure (Fox tail crazy) Phantom OG grows fat buds but the flavour is quite poor quality, I only grew 2 purple seeds so cant really judge but didn't find anything great.
I'm going to have to try this "Runtz" you've talked me into it 😃
@pheverone, yeah I have slowly upgraded as finances allow to LED. They are a fantastic option unless you need the extra heat generated by HPS/CDM lights.
I am a massive fan of barneys and over the years have grown pineapple chunk which has a very unique terp unlike either of its parents. Blue cheese I have grown on and off for many years and there is a pheno which normally can be found in 5-10 seeds which is a absolutely amazing.
I found a crazy lemon pheno in the strawberry lemonade which between me and a few friends grew out around 50 seeds and this was the only one which was extreme lemon but unlike lemon haze and lemon skunk and was probably the nicest terp I have had.
Also grown LSD, critical kush, amnesia lemon, moby dick and tangerine dream. The tangerine dream and moby are the only two I was not very impressed with.
I have grown most of barneys menu but the ones that stick out are runtz, pineapple chunk and blue cheese.
I have a friend growing some packs of biscotti mints, blue sherbert, orange sherbert and mimosa punch which I can get cuts of his keeper phenos so to say I am excited about that is a understatement😂
The next pack I buy will probably be the tropicanna bannana.
One last thing I will say is the quality of the runtz is the best all round strain I have ever grown and can’t stop growing it lol. Don’t get me wrong you need to pop a pack of 5-10 to find a good pheno but once you do its jackpot material👍
Only other exciting thing I have is I just got gifted a cut of the symbiotic genetics mimosa which I hear many good things about
Very wise words, I have just created a far too packed canopy thinking I would increase yield but like you say everything below 6 inches is very shaded even with quite brutal defoliation and hitting it with light from multiple angles with a bar type led.
My next run which I am about to flip I have cut down the cola count and veg time to not repeat my last mistakes.
Real nice grow you have there brother regardless of the packed canopy👍
@Esoteric_growing, Yeah every-time I get carried away with how many branches I try to fit into the space, this run I was brutal and chopped them to near skeletons. You might lose an oz or two but the quality you'll get from keeping the distance in between is FAR superior. i'll be taking at least a week off my veg time also, I feel it just grows a lot of what I end up chopping out in the last week of veg, making it an utter waste of time.
