What can I say she looks great. I'm not going to massively change her, she is coming on perfect. She's gonna be a small plant so I'm gonna focus on expanding her, im gonna top her on the 5th node next week. She looks perfect, not one issue as for color, nute burn, NADA. Loving the simplicity of it all. Fuck hydros. This shit is much more easier and results are better for someone who can't tend to their plants all the time, gotta keep the lights on to keep growing, not doing it in my mammas house or gf, whatever. But, if you are in the same boat, I urge you to use this method as it take very little since I overwatered my plants I haven't given them any fluids and even when I was it was just once a day and a 50ml spray or so of voodoo juice and a 4 supersoil feeds.
18/1/22 Fucking kicking myself. Just as I was starting defol I was cutting from the bottom of the stem on the fan lead wit a stanley and, surprise surprise, I let it slip cutting the cola off. That's the 2nd one gone from this plant. 1st one didn't mature, not grower error. Just a thought, if your using a scalpel or a stanley, cut between the colas and the fan lead, "the fan leaf is always directly below the cola, that's the things growing your bud sites, try not to cut them off like me", thankfully I cut just right above the 6th node leaving just enough to grow bud site. Going to get back to defol later. Guess I wasn't cut out to be a surgeon. I'm going to have a joint or 5 to settle my hands and attach these girls in a more normal manner lol.
18/1/22 topped last night and done some defoliation, for those who are beginners and find this concerning, why take healthy leafs off my plant, well, if your like me, and space is an issue aswell and humidity and temp doing defoliation will solve this by some means, and you are allowing light to reach bud sites, if you are doing LST, you kinda be silly not to do defoliation before you do lst, being the whole point of LST is to move them into the light but by removing unwanted leafs you are more or less making room to control LST better, so in my novice advice I strongly recommend you defoliate. For those who do not know where or what fan leafs are, start by doing the very easily noticeable fan leafs which grow right under the Y shaped cola above it, NEVER CUT THAT. As you can see in my pics of CBD I stupidly used a stanley blade and cut from the bottom up in and in doing so I cut a cola off. But it's okay, also there was one cola that never matured so I left the 6th intact but really it's only 5 cause there is a cola missing from 2 and 4 I think.
Those photos in the dark, They are starting to cake up fairly nicely. I think as long as you do the dry / cure right even if they are not the densest buds you should still have some great smoke. Having managed large grows & been around big bags I prefer smalls myself. One of our buyers that pre-ordered most of the crop from the big facility I managed, Literally would break down a pound bag and somehow steam out the moisture from all the stems & weigh the stem before and after and bitch at us if there was any major weight accounted for by this. At the highest level, people are incredibly neurotic almost to a fault. up to 100lbs was 1750 per pound so I guess they have good cause to be. I always found regardless in bulk purchases the stem loss from large quads was not worth it. I prefer bags of smalls that literally have 0 stem weight to them you get much more in the end you would be surprised. In this market high volume sales trump high per cost sales, You can do better offering ounces of premium smalls at 50-60 a bag. People pay a premium for big buds when really all they are, Are smalls connected to a stem that you can't smoke. If the weed is good its generally good all the way through & when you hand trim high-end product you trim it TIGHT there can be no gap in the buds or you break it down. Generally, only the tops are held as big structure buds or tops off your side branches which all get packaged up into quad packs.
@gottagrowsometime, I did not make it on purpose! It was a bag seed we got from a bag of nuken buds. the plant through out 3 seeds though I will gladly gift you them as nobody else has shown interest in it yet and I still have 1 more original seed that came from the bud like its twin that I germinated. DM me friend! It finished incredibly fast around 7 weeks tops and did not resemble nuken at all in aroma or flavor.
@LegacyMarketFarm, ah well if you are buying a 100lb then yeah I'd say your at least getting 1-3lb of stem right? Great you have some1 who can take all that. Oh btw I seen this was your own seed you made for part of the grow. I seen it on a comment you wrote. What is the seed like can you DM me what it is, I'd be interested in making a small order in a few wks. Know it's nothing compared to what you sell and might be more of a burden. But I'd love to try or even hear about it.
These do not look bad AT ALL man good work. Once they begin to finish their vertical growth completely remember to start opening up your temp gaps between lights on and off to beyond 10 degrees less lights off and a little more each week until harvest. Keep it up man I know you can do this one!
@gottagrowsometime, Our pleasure π we are always happy to hear this!!! We'll definitely enjoy watching you grow!! Looking forward to watching your progress! πͺ
@Fast_Buds, Thanks for dropping by fast_buds. I love your plants. Not once have I had issues with 'em they grow and germinate to perfection. My go 2 breeder from now on. Strawnana is my next grow. Thanks for taking we time.
@Fast_Buds, Hey, I'm really impressed by your seeds. The genetics are solid, and are very resistant to toxs and so on. Pleasure to grow. Have 3 dif FB strains, 1 of them GZA the new strain. Can't wait to get the whole 3 dif strains up and running. Thanks for dropping by and excellect CService.
