Day 28 Veg
Day 1 Flowering: Hi growmies. Here we are at the start of flowering for these happy healthy little ladies from Zamnesia seeds.
Girl scout cookies #1 has now had to have pegs to hold her limbs in place as she keeps heading for the light but I want a more squat plant so will keep her lower this way until stretch has about ended. This should keep the main canopy uniform and lower than they want to grow naturally. It is a manageable size so far but is filling the pot out more each day. #2 is a little smaller in general and is also dealing with a repair from a major split on the 5th node bend. She has made sure it survived but I still need to watch her for any pathogens creeping in.
Amnesia haze #1 has gone crazy in the last week and her f.i.m has really brushed her out to fill her pot with so many potential mains. She will need a little defol along the way now flowering has begun but inam hoping to keep as many of those fat workhorse fan leaves in the game.
#2 has now lost the rectangular look and has also been held down with tent pegs in various locations to promote many mains. She is a nice growing lady with no signs of any issues.
#3 was left a more natural pattern but will definitely have to have some stripping out done as she is so full of growth tips, hidden by so many big fan leaves
another potential monster in the making in think.
Now we are going into the stretch periods , I need to keep on top of the training to best exploit the space I have to use as I am now fitting another Mars light into the fun zone. (Diary will begin soon !!). A lot of activity this week with harvests on other strains and new seeds going in too. I also have 2 100L living organic soil beds cooking for the next run .
Be well and sane growmies.
@Cannabeast40,I normally go straight to pot or jiffy but did a soak to hopefully speed the germ up. I try not to handle the seeds at all and with autos , I am even more cautious.lol
easy to rot a seed in the propagator too as I have found out a few times. Paper towels can be difficult with fast seeds if they attach those tiny lateral roots with autos too so I avoided that method in case. A couple of the seeds still floating after 24 hours too which can indicate a non starter in my experience and from a few seed selection articles I found too. Thankfully the rest look really happy and settled already. Thanks canna
@Ganjagrandaddy,if i were you, i woud germinate in wet towels, leave in dark with 23-25 degrees, within 12-24 hours. When sprouted transplant to jiffyΒ΄s, a little week, then transplant to final pot π i have very close to 100% succes this way. U2 buddy π
@Antares,thanks Antares. Never seen this shape naturally before but definitely down to the plant itself too. Could be interesting to watch unfold. Lol. Welcome aboard buddy.
They all look cracking mate, hopefully the critical cheese bulks out a little bit π€(gotta love abit of cheese!)
Excellent video as always! Lovely autumn colours with the fade on the other girls aswell pal π
Looking forward to seeing what your harvest will be.
Stay safe brother
Peace βοΈ
@UKPersonal420,cheers mate. Loving how they are fading out naturally too. It's when the best colours show out and we are lucky in some ways that our huge temp drops at lights off here in blighty , help to colour them. Used to make me smile when I read about a small temp drop of a few degrees when here we get a huge drop in winter. Lol .it brings the purples out well but I do use a tubular heater to stop the freeze getting them. Lofts are a pain. Lol. 1 nearly ready for her trim up and dry now too so the fun begins again. Lol
just got the testers through too ,13 strains for 2022 release. Will be some fun running through those in the coming months. Thanks for the positives
excellent video and diary entry as always π
I canβt ever seem to bend a stem 90 degrees like that without breaking it.
Hopefully the second one repairs well enough and is able to still carry nutrients efficiently.
Other than that all these ladies look very happy and healthy! Bring on the early flowering signs π
@UKPersonal420,thanks UK. I did snap one trying to get her back over , doh. Hard when so small and no space between the nodes. Once bigger , a thumb and finger rolling motion as you apply pressure , has the stem slowly weakening then a kind of mushy feel. Allows a full 180Β° if long enough. Lol. It slows the node down nicely with these autos too. I sometime "pop' the stem with a firm press until a popping sound. This allows a good bend but does risk a snap. Always repairable on a photoperiod with time though, unlike these bloody autos. Lol
@MariRemediesLLC,wow what a pleasant comment Bigdoon4. Thank you . I really enjoy growing and seeing what the strains push out. We learn a lot together here which is the beauty of such a community. Seeing methods and ideas being tried and shown has helped me hugely. Be well growmie.
