The Vortex strain gave me two nice plants. They were easy plants to grow. They both had the same floral, slightly citrus smell during flowering and the dried buds are giving me citrus and honeysuckle tones. A little too sweet for my tastes, actually. The effect is similar for both, with a nice energetic buzz that allows you to maintain focus. The potency is good, but not great. Good daytime smoke. The plants differed greatly in phenotype and yield. Vortex #1 was leaning Indica in bud structure with large colas up top and small buds everywhere beneath the canopy. She yielded 166 g and 106 g of trim. Vortex #2 had a sativa structure with chunky buds, large calyxes, but only yielded 63 g of dried buds and 106 g of trim. With over 200 g of trim on hand, There will be some nice hash made from these Vortex plants.

Watch out for bud rot on the indica leaning pheno. I caught mine early and only lost a few grams.

Looks like there doing well branching out, have you started lst yet? Will you be using defoil as well? Nice full tent and happy healthy plants๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒฑ

@OldCoolSativa, I am by no means a pro, but I usually start lst week 3,4, maybe 5, so by flower stretch her branching is already moved and stable in the new way I have it growing. I would say just get in there!! You never know till you do, but it's a lot harder when she starts getting woody. Stresses em more I think. Your gonna love it!!

OldCoolSativacommented8 years ago
@HydroKitty, I've already done a little defol but should probably do some more this week. The internode spacing is small enough that I don't think I need much LST yet. But since I've never done LST before, I could be wrong. ๐Ÿ˜Š Thanks for stopping by.

Ideal day temp is 25C and the bigger they get the less humidity they like - the difference between the day and night temperatures will affect the distance between the nodes - all look nice and green ๐Ÿ‘

Nice grow Bro. Regarding ur week 5 update, I bought my whole setup from kingbriteled, you shouldn't have any problem with them. If you use 2 different fixture for veg and flo why didn't u choose 4000k and 2700k? Just curious.I stopped at cobs' basics but will research some info about adding 730nm diodes, maybe I'll add some for the next grow. Keep us update man!
OldCoolSativa
OldCoolSativacommented8 years ago
@Nutria, Far red only runs 20 minutes per day. Flower schedule is for COBS only.
Nutria
Nutriacommented8 years ago
@OldCoolSativa, same timing I saw on rollitup.org. By 13.5 you mean both cob+red or 12cob and 1.5red?
OldCoolSativa
OldCoolSativacommented8 years ago
@Nutria, I just looked on Ebay for 730nm and found a USA seller. Specs are 3W 20mm Star LED, 720-730nm, 1.5V - 1.7V, 600 mA - 700 mA, 40 LM, 120 degree viewing angle. I'm going to run them in a single 3-ft strip in the middle of my tent between my two lights. I plan to turn them on 5 minutes before lights out and turn them off 15 minutes after lights out. This should allow me to use more light during the flower cycle. I plan to go 600W 12/12 for the first week of flower or until the girls reveal themselves. Then I'll ramp up to 13.5/10.5 for most of the flowering period, then back it down to 12/12 for the last week or two to finish them off.

Hope you have a strong fan for room circulation because that could be another factor why they look squishy.Waiting anxiously for new updates.PEACE. :)

@@Kkkkkk, thanks for the heads up. I have a couple circulation fans in there and all the plants leaves move around in the breeze a bit so I think ventilation is OK for now.

I have a similar problem. I am on week 6. A bit slow for sure in the beginning. Temps are usually above 26 and up to 32 someone time. But my plants are stubby and wide. But since this is my first grow, I thought maybe it has to do with the strain? Can someone with experience check out my grow? thanks man.
Kkkkkk
Kkkkkkcommentedweek 48 years ago
Your guy is right. The temp is way to low! You need constant 25 grad celsius. And your air humandity was to low, thats why you leafs looking squishy. But at all it looks very good. Wish you much luck and awaiting interessted what you get out. ;) Keep on. ;)

Where did you saving 10 years old seeds? How did you germinate them?

Blablablacommented7 years ago
@OldCoolSativa, you lucky bastard. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Mine are 1 year old and don't want germinate.
OldCoolSativa
OldCoolSativacommented7 years ago
@KonopCh, I found them in bags of weed from a Deadhead friend, reportedly grown in Western Massachusetts. They germinated easily...hardly any duds. I germinated them in Rapid Rooters.

How's the humidity ?
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyKcommented8 years ago
@OldCoolSativa,big grows generate a lot of moisture , filter out into the fresh air if you can, I have a fresh air in as well to keep it flowing ๐Ÿ’จ
OldCoolSativa
OldCoolSativacommented8 years ago
@BigDaddyK, good question. It has been pretty high, like upwards of 80% at the end of the day. Condensation on tent walls, etc. Today I finally set up a blower and charcoal filter and humidity is down around 60%. Running a dehumidifer in the basement to help keep things under control.

hey man nice grow. i tried a bagseed in my grow, it's in my current journal. it was a herm :(glad you got away with it. this is twice i had bag seed herms so be careful using bagseed in with real genetics. i don't think my other girls were effected and i got some wax off the 4-5week old herm so not the end of the world. nice job though keep growin'
