I tried a new germination method this time. I wasn’t happy with the peat pellets I was using. They couldn’t handle the moisture and would mess with my balls. So this time I used small coco pots with coco substrate and dynomyco mixed in. Covered and labeled each one with a ziplock baggy and boom, 3 days later all of them were up and moving. Solid 4/4. Don’t mind the AvT finishing up in the middle.
They’re off and running, I may need to fill two of the pots with a bit more substrate as I ran out towards the end. Otherwise, they’re feeding and growing well.
They’re getting stronger everyday. I’m so happy I got 100% germination on these. I give them each about 250mL every 2 days at this point, so far they seem to like that volume and frequency.
They’re growing healthy, just a little slower than usual. This may be due to the light being a bit far away and AVT hogging the majority of it in the center. The good thing is that she’ll be done in about a week and a half or so I hope. Otherwise they look happy, Pink kush seems to be the one growing the most, we’ll see if the other ladies catch up.
These babies are behaving exactly how I want them to. So far no signs of preflowers at all, this is good because my light is farther away than I’d like and AVT is still finishing up in the tent and she creates shade. So they haven’t been growing as fast but they are looking healthy and happy, I’m sure they’ll take off in growth once they get the entire light and space. I topped Pink Kush on day 23 above the 5th node and I pruned the first node as these never really make great stems for big buds. In the next day or two I’ll top the other three ladies and prune first node as well.
This week went well. They are all stretching out nicely, except for alien berries which is looking a little runtish. Pink kush did not like the nitrogen and she made it clear to me with some claws up top. She also began to really prefiere so next feed will be with bloom mutes for her. The other ladies still seem to be in veg despite showing sex already. Defoliating any large leaves covering lower growth tips.
So far only Pink kush by Seedsman wants to flower, so much so that she didn’t respond well to the N in the nutes. I started bloom bites in her and reduced the amount of N to 50%, hopefully that will keep her calm. All Mephistos are sexed but they still haven’t wanted to start flowering, that’s cool for now though because alien berries and strawberry skywalker needs to catch up. They are still being fed veg nutes. Also, I had topped dressed with some dynomyco and I have to say I noticed a difference when I did that. Growth shortly became explosive.
Pink kush has been flowering the quickest, she’s growing well and her new leaves don’t show any sign on the claw so good thing I backed off of that two weeks ago. Her preflowers are turning purple and sometimes it almost looks as if she’s bleeding pink blood. I’m giving her big bud already as she started flowering a solid week before the others. Only giving a little lst and defoliation lately.
Canna cheese just keeps stretching, I can’t complain because I let her go. I just hope she won’t overgrow her space. She has a nice thick stem and drinks plenty. Only a little lst and defoliation lately.
Alien berries so far is the smallest of the bunch, although she’s the slowest to flower, I gave her one more dose of grow nutes before committing to bloom nutes for her. She keeps stretching and gets awfully bushy. Some light Defoliation and little lst.
Strawberry Skywalker has a nice fat stem for its size, she’s short but wide and is throwing out some insane preflowers. She gets very bushy so I defoliate and lst her.
In the next few feeds I’ll add big bud to the rest of them.
Should I attempt any more defoliation at this point? Each plant individually doesn’t have a crazy amount of leaves, but it’s pretty crowded in there, any suggestions?
Rather than defoliating, you could just try tuckong leafs back outta the way of your buds so they have light penetration through the canopy.
If you defoliate only do say 5-10% of leafs and after defoliation, you may notice water consumption drop for a couple of days or the plant may look a bit grumpy as a sign of stress - when water intake is back to normal or plant has picked up again you can do some more defoliation.
Small and often is the way, you dont wanna force em to grow balls.
It’s a jungle in there. I totally underestimated this grow. Canna cheese is the tallest and I really hope she stops stretching because I only have about an inch more to give her and that’s already pushing it. Pink kush is looking more purple everyday and she’s starting to fill out her buds. Strawberry sky walker has a beautiful thick and symmetric structure I think she will have the fattest colas. Alien berries actually caught up in size although the caliber of her stems is slightly smaller than the other ladies, but she still rockin’ rolling. They are taking their sweet time.
They’re growing well. Some lower leaves fade so I just pluck them off. The buds are all maturing at this point. Cannacheese is the largest lady and she drinks 2 L of water every other day, it’s almost hard to keep up with her. All the others are forming nice healthy buds. Pink kush is turning out to be the smallest of the bunch but her color is so nice! Her buds are still a little smaller than what I’m used to but I’m not surprised tbh I knew she’d likely be a smaller yield. Can’t wait to harvest!!
These ladies have started their final stretch. Pink kush will be the first one I harvest, I’m just waiting for her to put out a few amber trichomes and so far she has none maybe within the coming week. Canna-cheese has maybe 2 weeks left. She has the nicest fade I’ve seen so far out of the plants I’ve grown, but she for sure needs to get fatter. Strawberry Skywalker is short but thick, she’s barely starting to fade so I thunk maybe in 3 weeks she’ll be done, still no amber trichs and I’m sure she will get much fatter. Alien berries has surprised me. She was the runt and although a slim plant in veg, she’s putting out some fat knuckles, maybe in 3-4 weeks she’ll be done. Over all good conditions except for a couple spikes in heat a few days. Still no intense smell either.
They are starting to get fat. I’m harvesting pink at the end of this week, still no obvious amber trichomes but she isn’t getting much fatter either, she has about 90% orange pistils. Canna cheese is maturing well, giving out crazy color combinations and getting thicker by the day, she’s next after pink kush.
This was a lovely strain to grow out, never have I seen a more purple strain. She did not like the full strength N but once I pulled back to 75% she was happy again. Everything else was smooth sailing and she competed well for light and space with the others crammed in the tent. Harvested on day 77.
She was eager to grow from the start. I didn’t think she was going to be a tall plant, she had a massive stretch. Next time I would like to grow her out in a larger pot and have her directly under the light by herself to get the most out of this strain. She’s a beauty.
Alien berries was the runt of the group initially but she actually caught up a bit towards the end, she was the least competitive for light out of the 4.
