Day 35 flowering: Hi all , I hope we are all healthy , sane , and loved in our worlds. It has been another productive week for the two ladies sat basking in the Viparspectra sunshine.
The temps in the UK have been low the last few weeks so they can settle into a less hostile heat zone. They are continuing to use those reds and infrared to their advantage with building some.nice long colas among both plants. The lights penetration is really good so they are having no issues with lower bud growth at all so far.
The Northern lights has really begun to cola stack now with approx 8 mains that ade swelling by the day. She looks like she could be a very nice yield based on those alone. Fingers crossed she keeps swelling. Her buds and pistils are crystal white at the moment with no signs of ageing so she is in her freshest state of flowering right now . This is a good sign of a longer possible flowering period than the 8 weeks usual. The Grandaddys mimosa is more advanced on her ripening with quite a few orange pistils ( dying off) being replaced by fresh ,white , vibrant ones ( new pollen catchers). She has a good covering of orange hairs already for her flowering stage and could be a very early 7 week harvest possibly. She is nowhere near as big as the Northern lights and is being elevated to keep her in the canopy but she has approx 10 mains that are looking shaggy and with a high leaf ratio too. She is starting to have a nice fruity tang to her smell now when watered or handled. She could βΉ me by swelling up huge in the next couple of weeks but I wont be too worried if not.
The light is performing really well and has done Viparspectra justice too. I am genuinely shocked at how capable it is for its size.
The other strains are doing very well too with the Gorilla cookies looking very bud productive and big. They got an amazing start into flowering from the xs1500 and I wish they were under the new offering from their range but I am hoping to twist their arms into letting me try a couple of xs 4000's from showing how well we can use this light. Lol we can but hope.....
Be safe well growmies
Hey there, Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics π Let us know if you need any assistance, weβre more than happy to help. Happy Growing !!! π±βοΈπ΄ππΏπ³
@Ferenc,it is my 1st viparspectra so far and more than impressed for such a small unit. Seeing it cope with all 5 up to the point I moved 3 was a welcome surprise too. Can only imagine what the #ViparSpectraP4000 can do. ?.
@Ganjagrandaddy, So are you very satisfied witth the lamp? I am going to test it soon /XS2000/ however, I have been using Viparspectra since I started growing and I am pretty happy.
@HAPPY91,hi HAPPY. Welcome aboard. I will be happy at 2oz per plant on an auto tbh. Anything above thatvis a bonus.lol.
Usually grow photoperiods but the fun of autos has me hooked.
Nice to cycle through the strains too. Thanks for the positive vibes. Be safe , sane and well ..
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy,my other growbhere has same situation with the #4 banana mash. Now the biggest of the 4 growing too. It went crazy in stretch period..
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy,I have to agree there bud. Seen some right gimps produce well. Seems they wind up like springs then "pop" during final flowering cycles. Keeping my fingers crossed for shrek now. Lol . Be well
@JamMAKEcan,thanks buddy. Hard work heehee. Carrying the buckets up the ladder is graft but at the moment they are so small and behaved. Fun begins in stretch .
Incredible diary my friend, love the details and the video!
These girls are looking amazing, the first NL plant is beautiful π
Following this one closely, wish you well for the rest of the grow
Great to see an amazing UK farmer on here too! π
@Ganjagrandaddy, Gotta say my personal favourite classic has to be cheese or blue cheese! Currently looking for breeders with good cheese seeds to do a classic run with π
Wedding cake and it's crosses Are also one of my favourites, love the appearance and the smoke. That's why I had to start the diary for MAC Flurry (Wedding Cake X MAC) Cannot wait to see the results π€π€
Always good to have some NL on hand especially for me and it's medical benefits ππ
