Day 14 Flowering: hi all. We have had another very happy week growing with these ladies from Zamnesia. The size and shapes that they are now formed into look so like cabbages with nice thick , green and bushy branching in all of the pots now. Training has been a battle with them pulling the legs overnight and needing re staking further out to keep them flatter. The canopy itself is forming up nice now with the strongest tips being the ones hitting the top now. Once stretch has done, I will be defoliating to feed the lowers that are dying to get involved with the thick supporting secondary branches everywhere.
All 3 of the Amnesia haze are thick leaved, monster fanned and chunky stemmed beasts. I am glad I trained them lower as the growth could have easily become a concern in heights for sure. The huge cabbages that have been created now are perfect for a strip out soon to get light to the stems as much as possible
#1 Amnesia haze f.i.m girl is by far the thickest Bush. She does have a really nice crown on her too with some serious side growth fighting out of the shadows and creating their own mini plants it seems. It will be good to get to what is her actual contenders as she is so thick with growth , it is hard to tell how many mains will be joining the fun.
#2 Is also a great size to work with and will produce some nice yield
#3 is a similar size to #1 and has been easy to work with too they have been lifting the pegs easily as they grow each day now so I will be using wire soon to secure them for the final push.
Both of the Girl scouts cookies are very productive with growing tips. #1 is a slightly different pheno i think and has a slight darker green to her too. Growing in a nice thicket so far but has been pegged along the way too. Her sister #2 is totally different in her structure with an absolute flurry of bud sites dude to the training out of her throughout. She is like a mini manifold of sorts with all that usual popcorn rubbish being able to share more light. I dont expect huge colas with this and from her general limb thickness but i think she will be filled with decent medium sized nugs. They do both need a defol soon to really give all the nodes a chance go shine. I am planning to do some this week and the last bits at around 21 f. All told they are really looking like a great yield already so with a little more training before I let them get on with it , could be the best run yet !!
UPDATE######
Day 15 and i did a defol today. This will allow all those growing tips to find the light. Next few days will be interesting as they recover and get busy.
@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.
