There's not a whole bunch to update on this week.. I'm pretty much on auto pilot at this point.
FORBIDDEN RUNTZ AUTO
At this point I'm really happy with the trichome production on her. She got away from me and stretched, and I'm not quite sure why. The last time i grew this strain I got almost 5 oz. Dry off of one plant. I definitely won't see that yield off of this one but I think the flower will be higher quality. She smells exactly like the last one too.
- TERPENES..... they come off sweet Snelling like the zkittles strain that is in her lineage. I can smell gas too which could be an indicator of myrcene terp profile, making it a great medicine. This strain produces a fantastic flower.. I CANT WAIT to try her.
I've been supporting her flowering cycle with compost extracts loaded with the 0-0-2 kelp extract.
BLACKBERRY AUTO
Wow what a beauty, pictures aren't doing justice to her real beauty. The first time I grew her, she had a similar structure but didn't pack on dense buds like I am this run. Compared to the last time I grew this strain, I expect a similar yield but a denser flower. When I grew this last time i wasn't playing with VPD levels, and my humidity during the dry phase was way too low. With this in mind, I have really worked on dialing in both those process'.
I can't get a good read on the terpene profile yet.. she smells different every time I try and interpret her; plus I'm a rookie 😅
A note on my environment
- right now my VPD is varying depending on the time of day. I am aiming to keep the VPD around 1-1.5 depending on the time of day. With that in mind, my humidity is ranging from 55 - 60 during lights on and 45-50 during lights off... it's a bit of a hassle but it might be paying off.
- I've added an extra fan and increased both my intake and exhaust flow rates.
- all my lights have been increased within my tent
-I'm increasing my pH of my water thru flower to 6.7 - 6.8
We're getting close and I'm getting excited.
Thank you Fastbuds ☮️
it looks like you use the standard china usb microscope with your (win) computer. If you have one or know someone with a 3d printer, print this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2525155 😎 with a stable stand the trichone shots will be much better! 😎
really beautiful purpled bud! 😍
@KAPT_SAVE_Da_HOE, awesome you'll have a great time and good luck.
If I were to give any advise it would be.... follow a VPD chart and make sure your temps and humidity are in check.. everything else will be easy if you can manage that.
Nice looking buds coming on and diary’s you are running. I’ve got a triploid gorilla skittlez going at the moment that is getting huge . Good luck with the rest of your grow , hopefully you bounce back from the covids
@Wrongholn519, same here , I’ve never had a triploid before and I was concerned it was going to be a pain but she just wants to be a big girl . Thanks man
@Rangaku, thanks much appreciated. It's my first triploid, kinda cool to watch grow.. wish she was a bit bigger though. I just checked out yours.. looks hefty and healthy👌
@SeedsNStems, I hope it grows well. I've never had a 'tri' seedling like this and I'm concerned it's not growing fast enough 😮💨😂. It's a great looking plant I recommend it to anyone that wants colour in their garden
Really nice photos, thank you for sharing this diary :)
We hope that growing our genetics was a nice experience for you and that you enjoy the harvest!
