Day 42 Flowering: Hi all. These girls are motoring along so nicely now and using every available lumen that this wicked little beast of a light can throw out.
The Northern lights #1 has spent the week putting new pistils out to join the nice fresh ones from the previous week. There are only one or two pistils that are turning orange so a long way off her final flush of flowers and ripening. This is a good sign of possible things to come. With a longer flowering period , we get a bigger bud !!. Lol There are numerous mains that have now become long bud spikes so should produce a nice yield too. Still sparkling white and a slight tackiness if touched. Smell is just beginning to be evident with a slight hint of sweetness.
Grandaddys mimosa is beginning to colour up all over now and her bids are looking more developed in ripeness than the other last too. She does have a lot of leaf to bid it seems but as she swells , this should look less compacted. She is only a small lady in height with around 7 mains developing as spikes. Her smell is a nice juicy fruit aroma so far and I can feel her sticky thc when I rub the stems.
They are really developing well now and I am so pleased with the performance of the XS1500. A great light .
The other surrogates that are elsewhere are all going well too with the 2 Gorilla cookies really pushing some nice bud sizes out. Nice sized ,stacked colas are all over their structure of both plants and even the lowers are beginning to look good. The #2 Northern lights ( mutant) is catching up with her sister and friends now but is about a week behind in size development. She is a long limbed lady with cluster buds so a lot less productive looking than her sister but she looks nice and healthy with it.. I am noticing a slight mottling on the leaves of a few plants now so I will be adding calmag to the next feed to stop this getting too far and losing energy from photosynthesis. I expect a little yellowing off of older leaves to begin showing now too but the use of coco and L.E.D usually includes adding calmag as they both leech mg from the soil and plants. Hopefully I can catch it before it gets an issue.
Temps are more reasonable now the heatwaves are done here so any extra co2 from the exhale bag can now be used as a booster and not to survive.
Another good week for the ladies and the xs1500. Keep smiling growmies. The deception is falling apart now !!
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
