Plants are growing nicely. Decided they should be good enough for the experiment. Lollipopped and defoliated the large ladies today. Will be doing the smaller girls tomorrow hopefully. After that will stretch the screen and scrog the plants as best I can with the height difference. Give them another week or so and flip them to flower.
I top dressed the Gaia plants a few days ago with half 4-4-4 and half bloom. .5tbsp/gallon each of those and 3 tbsp/gallon castings.
GH plant is getting 1 tsp/gallon water every 2nd watering. I will start adding bloom nutrients the day before I flip the cycle, will likely give .25 tsp bloom .75 tsp grow first water, 50/50 2nd and 3rd feed, and that should be nearing end of stretch, so bloom from then on.
Update 12 Mar 22:
Decided I'm going to play with the small plants.. going to do minimal thinning out on one of each (1 lollipopped Gaia, one unmolested Gaia, one lollipopped Maxi gro/bloom, one that was left alone, just going to clear out some of the leaves/branches in the middle of the bushy gals to cut down on chances of mold and other issues. Other plants had heavy defoliation and lollipopping.
Want to see what kind of effect all the LARF has on top bud size. Figure since the small plants are all clones of the same mom would be a good time to play with that and see if there is a big difference with this strain.
Will get those last 2 done tomorrow then flip in 5 or so days.
Update 15 Mar 22
Started attempting to scrog height difference is pretty noticeable.
There was far too much empty space so I just added a couple clones that have no place else to be. Not even going to up pot them, just looking to see if the genetics are worth keeping in the mother tent. They are in half full 1 gallon nursery bags.
1 is the same as the 3 gallons (clone from a tangie cookies female that a buddy grew from a seed I made (took my smelliest tangie cookies male and pollinated the frostiest female that I got in my BCBD pack back in 2018))
The other is gorilla bomb x tangie cookies I made at the same time.
Gave seeds out to a few new grower buddies to let them have some fun and experiment without them having to invest in seeds. Most of the plants died, but one of the dudes that figured out growing pretty quickly kept the genetics alive, and happened to still be running clones of the originals, I asked him for a couple cuts and here we are today, finally get to see the results of that project.
I whacked the small branches and bullshit off the bottom half of them quickly and chucked em in the tent.
Your such a shitty grower nothing u posted is reliable. Please quit. IT’s people like you give breeders bad name, u do not know wt u doing. Your plants look like garbage and u should fill horrible about your garden. U should feel like hit gabage
@tew33zy,
You're right, I don't know why I even do this, I'm terrible at it, my yields are crap, my weed is garbage. I think I'm gonna just give away all my gear, you want it?
