1. This will be the last week of veg for AFGooey. She is showing beautiful secondary branching. I like how this structure is going to work for flowering.
2. I've been removing the giant fan leaves as soon as the next set has developed. That is about every other day. If I don't those fat leaves shade everything!😎 I've also been trying to clear out the under canopy to prepare her for flowering.
3. There are quite a few viable bud sites. I might have to trim the growing tops off of some the lower portions of the branches. But since I've defoliated, I think I can get away with leaving them for now.
@Bluesbreeder, I will account for the other variables during this grow to make sure that my issue is with the lights. However, this is a hobby for me, and we should always buy the best toys for our hobbies.
@Quexos,it looks like it's my company but it is not i have nothing to gain by recommending these lights . but i really am amazed by the results i'm getting and ok maybe i'm doing something good and the budswelling helps but i really think my lights are the keyfactor to the great harvests i'm having lately.
@Tonino, I really am! I've been very patient waiting for these trichomes to change mature.
Should I feel guilty that I'm already planning my next grow?
@Twisted_Forest, The problem as newer growers is we have all sorts of nutrient choices, but it takes a few grows to learn the nutrient lines. I've invested a few plants on this line of nutes. Now its a choice. Buy the nutes that are running out and keep using the line, or start the learning curve all over again with another line.
@Quexos, nice! They are really strong. I will go take a look at your bubba. I have the same problem, since I am kind of a newgrower, I don’t want to give them too much nutriment. I think it’s hard to give the perfect amount of nutriment, every plant take it differently.
@bobo420, Thanks! I'm really impressed with the genetics of both strains I'm growing so far. They are growing like crazy for only 3 weeks old. If the secondary growth picks up enough, I might flip to flower a week early. I was thinking 6 weeks for veg.
Can appreciate the hope for a higher yield dude but any time you pull 1+ oz. it’s still a smoke and a success👍. Enjoy it dude and looking forward to the next one😎😉👊
@TheBudWhisperer, Yeah, the smoke is great! After trimming and jarring my harvest yesterday, I twisted up a phatty and enjoyed the fruits of my labors.
My new journals are up and running. I transplant and feed them for the first time tomorrow. They are already starting their 2nd full node!
@Tonino, She has to be done stretching. The slight increase in height is mostly flower formation. I have another foot or so I can raise the lights, so I'm not that worried. I didn't expect this plant to show so much Sativa genetics.
Thanks for following along!
@Tonino, Thanks. I really like how she has shaped up over the last few weeks. There are about 21 viable budsites right now. I'm looking forward to flowering.
@Tonino, Thank you, thank you! I'm harvesting my other plant today. I'll have a harvest report later this week I guess. This girl still has a few more weeks.
@Tonino, I view her more as lightly frosted at this point. I do like the directions the bud formation is going though. I was a little worried for awhile. I think she spent a lot of early energy stretching.
Thanks for stopping by every week and checking out my grow!😁
@Tonino, I can't believe that she is still stretching. I looked up some of the genetics to this strain and there is a lot of sativa. Perhaps that's the reason. But, yeah, I really like how she is budding out.
@Tonino, Thanks again for your kind words. She has 2 branches that are almost as tall as the main cola. I can't even count the number of viable bud sites! (well I could...) I really think she is going to be a very nice yielder.
I'm really glad I have 2 more seeds.
@TreeTent310, Thanks! Wait until you see this week's journal entry. I posted last Thursday, then did a major defoliation on Friday. You should see her now!
@Tonino, Thanks. I took her out of the grow tent this week. I'm having trouble with focus on my camera due to the lights. Luckily they are small plants.
