Another wonderful week of growth!
Switched to flower on Day 16. I have read in different places that it is recommended to switch these stretchy sativas into flower 15 days from seed. I have also learned that adopting an 11/13 light cycle is ideal for these landrace sativas.
Great growth over the last week, some of the tallest plants are nearing 2 feet now. One Malawi plant is still struggling, while it has made somewhat of a comeback I have not done anything to assist it. I may mix a nutrient batch specific to that plant or I may just let her work with what I am feeding the rest & hope for the best.
Started light defoliation this week. I have defoliated 2 times over the course of the week. I removed the lowest flower sights first & removed/bent fan leaves that were blocking flower sights. I also removed leaves pointing inward to the main stem.
I am debating whether or not I should top my plants that have stretched away to help keep the Canopy even throughout the rest of the flower cycle.
I have been feeding at a ratio of 4-4-4 and will likely continue to do so throughout the flowering stretch. I have a small space for 1-3 males with a 300w CFL that I intend to transition my males to before they release pollen.
Thank you guys for all of your praise & feedback. Stay tuned & grow along with me! I will be sure to check out some of the other gardens in the community throughout the week!
Pheno hunting: So far I have a couple of Honduras males & females I will be utilizing for breeding. These plants have great structure, very strong vigorous growth, the odors are strong on some of myrcene & terpinolene from what I am smelling on some while one has some more unique scents being released(slightly more floral & spicy like cinnamon), these chosen are also showing sex first & one female has shown pistils within the past few days.
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
