-7/5-
3 days into 12/12. I couldnt wait any longer to flip, although I still don't have a cloner and extra tent delivered. I hope to take clones in the next few days, but it may be longer than that. I am going to be using an aero-cloner with rooting hormone and clone nutes.
Its honestly a bit crowded in the tent. These ladies have grown a few inches per day and really spread out recently.
Recently the PPMs are higher coming out than going in. I honestly havent fed over 600PPM and keep getting runoff over 1200 PPM. I feed twice per week max, so this isnt adding up. I may need to flush again tomorrow, but this may also be an issue of overwatering. Maybe whatever nutes left in the CocoLoco is causing it to spike?...
Regardless of the issues, the XXX ladies are SHINING. Huge fan leaves, bulky stalks, stronger and faster overall growth. They are already getting a funky stank to them. I forsee these ladies overtaking their neighbors.
-7/7- day5
XXX #1 is drinking like crazy but not eating as much as the other ladies. Runoff PPMs of 800 with no visible deficiencies. #1 is also showing extremely blue fan-leaves on her oldest growth so I am watching her daily for other signs of N-tox. These ladies are still exploding.
Feedings have gone no higher than 320 PPM. Watering days have consisted of Calmag and micro nutes to 140-180ppm. I am giving them a foliar feeding of FOOP tonight and see how they react.
After giving each plant a heavy defoliation on the lower 1/3 of the plant, I noticed a deep gassy smell mixed with a lil body odor stank. They both smell very similar right now, and are growing almost identically.

Took clones two days ago, I have a feeling this genetic will clone well. These ladies didnt skip a beat, and they STINK! Day8 of flower and they just stink so bad. Originally they stunk like an armpit mixed with deep gas, now there is more of an acidic tinge. Compared to the other ladies, this genetic is standing out in terms of growth and stank so far.
Its been a full-time job trying to keep up with all the ladies in the tent. The XXX ladies are drinking much more water than the others, so its been a PITA trying to keep them all happy. My back has been angry with the amount of reaching and pot-lifting ive been doing to judge how dry the ladies are.
@Tater3333, I'm just expecting a few beans now at the least. Hopefully she doesnt get fully seeded. Herm was directly next to both xxx ladies, OF COURSE... Ive still got 3-4 weeks left, so we will see... removed the one pollen-sac i could find, but it already dropped pollen. This herm lady had a male-parts grow inside of female calyx. Tricky mofo. I plucked most of them, but there will always be that one....
My xxx#2 smells more acidic and gassy but still fruity, but my #1 is full on fruit punch with tropical vibes. XXX seems very stable though, as far as intersex traits go.
@Hotcrossbuns, oh no..So your thoughts are it will herm the rest? I had that happen on 10th planet but it never got to the rest of the girls. Hope it all works out for ya! Im getting closer to that smell....
@Hotcrossbuns, I can see the end game gene is strong, they are very nice looking. I have 5 clones going from mine, I grabbed them early and just brought them along in cottage cheese tubs. No topping but they are kicking right along. Hoping for a big ole pineapple shaped cola on the top. π
