Had to start with another germination. I had a power/weather event here that took out my last 2 germinating seeds. This time I germinated in peat pods in a to-go container with a heating mat. This worked very well. have many leftover White Widow seeds and a single Sour Stomper I hope to get to harvest. These both broke the surface in the last day and the peat pellets were placed in soil with Mykos sprinkled in around them. I'm cautiously optimistic after my debacle with the last germination.
I have a small tent but this setup produced very well for my first grow. It's a simple setup with a couple of oscillating fans, an exhaust fan, adequate lighting, and 3 gallon bags with Fox Farms Ocean Forest to get me through the first couple of weeks. Some say this medium is too hot, but I had no issue with it on my last grow. I have automation on a humidifier in the tent and I'm currently planning on keeping the temp around 68 and the lighting only at 25% for the first week.
That SS is crazy, I just harvested a "Night Queen" from RQS that grew exactly like it. I was wondering for some time what the hell caused it. Thought about cutting it down awhile ago but went ahead and grew it out. It was frosty af, drying right now.
Higher temps in flower leads to fluffy buds.
That SS pheno is amazing, she has grandparents landracing genes. Will be real beauty by crystals at the end.
Good luck !
@AsNoriu,thank you for the comment. I raised daytime temps from 75 to 77 last week and will see if that helps. They are in a tent in a detached building that I keep around 66 degrees so that's the temp they fall to at night. They both look healthy and I'll see them through till the end. It's boom or bust with the SS and either way I learn something.
Looks great, hope you enjoy your harvest! Have seen only 2 other ones grow like that before! It's crazy and has to be a pain to trim! Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
@Cyrusdavirus, hopefully that's the case. It supposedly only has a few weeks left so we'll see. This is a very fast auto. If it turns out well, I'll definitely source some more seeds.
@sandspur, I think that's the sativa side of the strain showing itself, extra light will help but it wouldn't be able to stop it from stretching ๐ that's just how most sativa will stretch, but they can fill that empty space with bud making some long pretty buds
@Red_Day, thanks for the comment. It definitely wasn't, but in truth most of this hits a grinder. It didn't have a lot of fan leaves and the bud structure didn't have a lot of embedded leaves. It's still the strangest thing I've seen. On the flip side, it's the best smoke I've grown.
@Cyrusdavirus, sure is. She has a few larger buds midway down the plant but most of her is willowy. It's getting closer to harvest for that one. I can't imagine trimming all that.
@Cyrusdavirus,thanks! It really took off this week. My first grow had some issues that I've avoided so far. Hopefully that continues.I still had a good harvest with that one so I'm keeping my fingers crossed here.
