Week 3 update and some big changes all around. We’ve now transplanted and moved all the plants in to the main tent under the Sp6500. Everything is growing strong and healthy and they don’t seem to be showing any major light stress. Firstly, the driver for this monster had to be moved outside the tent. Given the location, we just got lucky to be near an appropriate surface for it as you’ll find she throws off some serious heat. The fixture itself runs pretty hot as well so appropriate ventilation with this kind of oversized set up is a must. We just upgraded to a bigger vent fan as result. No real issues prior but wanted to be pro-active and it was time anyway👍. Not gonna lie, I really like the convenience of this tent. She’s got access ports in all the right places😉.
The Boogie Nights was really struggling but seems to have come around. The Spicy Bitches seem to be staying low and squat too. We topped the blueberry to slow its roll somewhat and the holy surfer is roughly on par with everything else. If all goes to plan, me thinks we flip the switch this week. Full veg maturity is almost there for the seedlings and this run is strictly for seed so preferable if we speed things up to the max where possible. Until next week y’all🤟.
@sailormoonflowers, thanks dude yeah - it’s a never ending adventure that’s for sure👍. All in search of the elusive omega strain and the best way in which to grow it👍😉
@BioBuds, cheers dude. I got 3 in there with the girls so they’ll yield a ton of seed no matter what. Also leaving one that’s showing a leaf mutation just for some extra variation in the spicy bitch genetic. This shits just as fun as growing actual buds lol
@amsterdammarijuanaseeds, no doubt and the original seed of this clone has shown great resilience. Thank u again for the opportunity to grow this out👍👊👊
Hey man, I see in your update you mention deciding on if and how to store pollen for later. I’ve experimented with this. My best success was to collect the pollen on aluminum foil, try get it as clean as possible with no leaf matter. Mix it with some white flour that you bake in the oven until it’s dry, just be sure it doesn’t toast and change color (bake the flour only not the pollen). Mix this with the pollen. Then for overkill mix this with some white rice, make a foil package and seal in a plastic bag inside a glass jar in the freezer. I stored some feminized pollen this way for 12 months and when I used it, it was still viable. To apply the pollen I just used a paint brush and brushed the white hairs. Within 24 hrs they were turning orange. There were some immature beans but not a significant amount. Well worth the effort to save the pollen to have on hand to spread the love when you it.
@DeaneR , yeah dude - totally worth it if you’ll be utilizing it in a reasonable time. And @Captain_7 is fully on point with resiliency. If stored properly, it’ll last a lot longer than you’d think. I had some recently that I used twice to full effect without flour and just thrown into a baggie and Tupperware. It really shouldn’t have worked after 6 months but fully did👍.
@Captain_7 & @TheBudWhisperer, Good info here. I've heard about the flour for stretching pollen, storing, and baking it....great to hear some feedback from people who use these methods👍 I've only used pollen fresh...I need to learn to store that shit!
@Captain_7, not at all dude, if anything it just promotes further discussion like this👍. That’s interesting about the flour though. Didn’t know that. Although I’ve never had issues with it in its normal state in the past. All good man and thanks for take’n a look!👍👊
