Sprouted by day 3 and into there 1 gallons. I have named them both. Demeter & Gaia. Fitting I think. We will see. So the race is on, 118 days before due date starts and then a 22 day entry window. I will need every day of that to put out the best. I'm going to be testing my skills level. I'm shooting for thc in the mid to high 20%. START WITH GOOD GENES, the rest will follow.
A gene anomaly has formed with Gaia, her 3 pedals leafs have fused together, meaning there is some instability in her genetics. There is a reason that I grew 2 plants. It will probably have no effect on the quality. Demeter is a little slower on the growth and her leaves are a little narrower than Gaia's. But no gene issues have popped up as of yet. Have 2 more weeks of growth so we will see.
So the girls are now just Veging out...pun intended....can definatly tell they are completely different phenos.leaf structure gives it away. I'm excited to see how they play out. So I'm going to bump up there ppm to 400's
These lady's are Bumpin, vigour, strong branch development, I'm having no nute burn with the vegan diet. I'm also going by the less is more theory. Lower levels of nute and Distilled water. I was using tap on my last couple grows and getting nute burn during veg, so I made the switch to a pure water and low and behold no burning😂
These lady's are healthy and the foliage is thick. No nute burn provided I'm not feeding them super heavy. They are liking the big tent, they are streching out well.. there branches are thick. Switching to bigger pots this week and flower next week.
Yea!!! Flower time... I switched these ladys to flower today, I feel like they are are going to be huge plants, I ended up topping GAIA as well, but only once, and stretched the tops out. DEMETER is going to be a monster bush. This week is only water with a little acti-vera (silica & B vitamins) & boost (cal-mag) ph'd to 6.4. I give them enoculants( bacteria & fugi) every feed ( once a week). They will still need veg nutes next week before switching to her bloom regimen in week 3 of flower.
These girls are looking good, they are slowly streching at a good pace. They are still on a 6.4-6.8 ph which they are loving. No burnt tips from over feeding. There branching is good, stems are thick and sturdy, dont think I'm going to need support. So they get fed & inoculated once a week (@900-1100/ph:6.4-6.6)on Tuesdays and watered (@170-220ppm/ph:6.4-6.5)(acti-vara/cal-mag(2ml/gal.)) some times I dont have to use a buffer (ph+/-).
These ladys are getting big. I cleared out the center of demeters canopy to help with light penetration. The vegan diet is holding good in my book, no deficiancys and no tip burning. Haven't had any ph issues as of yet either. Run off has been at 6.6. I also added some Photo Synth plus( super bacteria & fungi) it stinks but works wonders. #I♡Fungi.
These girls are going strong, trichromes are starting to form. The stretching has slowed down a bit. I finished up the last of there pruning ( removing undergrowth & leaves that are not getting light and or developing.)
Then there was one, Gaia is going to be my lady for the Harvest Cup. Demeter hermied and I was a special kind of disappointed when I had to kill her, but hey it happens. So far no deficancys and no nute burn. She is stupid frosty too. Veganic is working thus far. Lowered some of her nute and upped others to help her develop.
So she is still lanky, no real density. Im still waiting for her bulk up.I've dropped her feed down to 700's ppm for the next week or 2. And then I'll start my flush on week 8. Dosnt really smell like much ether. I've added some molasses to her feed to see if that helps like in the past. We will see...hope she turns out, she is my hope for harvest cup....
She is still going well. She hasn't really bulked up a lot. She started a nother run on stigma production. That means more bud production/ density. She is still getting nutes for this week and then I'm going to start my flush next week. I need at least 27 grams to enter in to the harvest cup and I think that's all she might produce. I broke out the microscope, her trichromes are still predominantly clear so she still has some time. I'm going for a 20-30 amber percentage.
So now she is only on water, no nutes. I'm going to flush her soil down to 200ppm this week. Her first flush is at 900ppm. Otherwise she is getting distlled ph'd to 6.5-6.8. She is still slender and her colas are like spears. Smell is amazing. It's like fruity/musky with hints of menthol. Beautiful plant just not bulky.
So her trichromes wer about 15-20% amber, she did put on a little weight during the last week but not much. Smell is a skunky mix of raw coco and sweet fruit, not necessarily banana. More to come once she is dry. Harvested on day 59 of flower, flushed for 10 days, but was still super greene.
She was strechy for the first 4 weeks of flower then tapered off. Good fast veg cycle. Not my favorite to grow due to how slow she matured and final weight granted I got 40.1 grams and 8.3 grams of trim that will become cookies soon.
