Chronics develop differently. Among the 5 seeds only one is worker phenotype. I talked about it earlier.
Explain about the phenotypes... It's no secret that the same plants from one seed pack are obtained rare. Chronics is a good strain, but you need a huge share of luck to find the perfect Super Keeper of phenotype. Though 5 seeds are not an indicator (better to plant 20-30), but on the basis of this cycle we can do conclusions. Don't trust the sellers of seeds. That they write in the description of the strain often doesn’t match the result. Popular brand of seedbank doesn't mean quality. If you want to have always stable and good harvest, plant a lot of regulars and select your own keeper.😉
Photo's description:
1. The first phenotype is very weak, with thin central cola and big distance between buds. It is not worthy to be called Chronic.
2. The second phenotype is shorter, will bloom longer, most likely turn out a medium-sized cones, but not bad fill branches from the top to the bottom. More too early to say, still the middle of flowering, but it is clear that it isn’t the Super Keeper.
3. The third phenotype is chunky shorty, looks funny, with thick trunk, branches grow very densely, It will turn out short and thick cones, that will bloom longer, this plays into the hands.
4. The fours phenotype is statistically average plant, a good central cola, finish flowering earlier than the others, for 5-7 days. Looks good in general, the structure of cones corresponds to strain.
The fifth phenotype is different from all others. Long, big central cola, dense structure of cones. At the end it will make good "calyx". It's a good choice for keeper.
At the end of flowering, the cones become heavy, grid supports them. It will be easier to tie branches to the grid than to the ceiling. This growroom was done for clones, just this time there are bushes, and clones safely pass through the mesh and hold themselves. From boxes to mesh 60cm.
Hey. I didn’t cut at the vegetative stage . Last week I cut the leaves first time. Now is the time to repeat the procedure. Floods’s schedule 1 every 3 days. During the vegetative stage it was lower level flooded , because plants didn't drink all high volume. The temperature during the day is 28-30 C, the night - 20-22C. In the winter I have the war with humidity. Daytime humidity is 40% . At night it is 20-30%, because simultaneously humidifiers operate and heaters dry. If I remove the heating, the humidity will be OK, but the night temperature will drop to 18C, which is extremely undesirable.
Fresh air comes passively from the next room where the window is constantly opened. I came to the conclusion that in the large grow-room the support of the desired climate is much easier, than in my 1.5m2.
Hi, you organized it great, well done, there are a few questions for you. Is it first defoliation? Did you do anything with plants, did you cut it at the vegetative stage? Do you flood it more now? What is the ventilation setup?
Yes, plants want phosphorus, I increase the PK every week: 15-30-45-60-75-100ml/100l. This fertilizer for vegetative stage + PK. I absolutely don't reduce nitrogen.
It is clear it isn’t SCROG, but branches are short, 60 cm, will be 70 cm. You think without mesh they will fall down and they will have to be tied up? Or, this necessity for clones, not for bushes?
How many days will be blooming?
Most of clones and branches fall down without mesh. The damage from the grid will not be, it doesn't delay light.
Minimum 20 days of blooming, but we'll see.
I didn't add the coconut crumb. In my purchase mapito were some pieces of coconut. They look like trash, I do not think, they are useful. I haven't had salting because I flooded only a third part of all substrate (where the roots). + Feeding exactly the concentration, as plants requested themselves, neither more nor less. If mapito is watered from the top, it will be salted for a week…and you will have to wash it. I’m not sure such flooding will work with coconut. I mean, not sure, coconut will be able to keep the solution so long like mineral wool and to provide sufficient ratio for the solution-air like foam. But you try, it will give you an understanding of many processes.
