HOTDawg Berry

Due to my failure to keep my pH pen calibrated, These little ladies have gone through more than they should. I decided to pop 10 more seeds and see if I could get any of them to beat any of the previous 12 to flower. Of the previous 12, 1 was culled for being a leaner, 1 more has pretty died all together, 1 is on deaths door and one or two more have taken sever damage for the seedling stage. At this point this diminishes my numbers to a point where I won't get to see what traits the seed stock has captured. That is why I am starting to germ more seeds. I want to go into flower with enough ladies to give me a picture of what this generation could be holding. I may cull more along the way but I would like to hit flower with 6 or 9 good looking ladies.

10 more seeds were added to pots this week. I will cull the weak and keep the strong. 5 of 10 have already sprouted.

4” seedling, HotdogBerry1 is now in flower. The rest are on their way to adulthood or to be culled. Flood timer was set at 6 minutes every 8 hours originally. That was with a 80f room around 65RH. Currently I have moved it down to 6 minutes every 4 hours. If 1 plant dries out and slumps, I then knock an hour off the time.

When 12” of plant is sticking out of the pot that is when they get moved to the flower tent. I bumped the EC up 0.2 from yesterday. I also added FishHeadFarms Fish Shit to the menu. Hopefully its worth its cost.

This weeks photos shows what haens when I let my pH drop to 4.2. Don’t allow this to happen. I assume that after my major topping event, some root mass started dying off which in tuen lowered my pH. After the topping I backed off my watering from every 2 hours to every 4 hours. Now after adjusting my pH, I am back to watering evey two hours.

Flooding every 3 hours. Only 4 left in veg. Once they are 12 inches tall they are placed in a 8” hydroton cube and sent to the flower room.

I had to cut four of the main Kolas off of one plant, possibly another. I'm just trying to get them to the same canopy height. I've only cut the Kola's one other time like this and nothing negative happen so, fingers crossed. The close up bud picture is the plant in the bottom right. She is about 4 weeks ahead of the rest of the tent. In the dead center of the tent is Amnesia Haze. I'm still waiting for her Trichomes to amber up before I yank her. Once she's gone, the rest will have some elbow room. This week was all about stretch. The night time temps have been around 65f and I think that has caused her to bolt a bit high. The node spacing is a bit far apart for my liking but maybe I'll be taught something new as to having them this far apart.

I'll keep rolling with last weeks nutes. I run my mix for two weeks, then I change out the reservoir. Last week I screwed up and left two pumps on. It ended up draining two bottles worth of supplements. It may be the best way to learn but boy does it suck when it hurts that bad. Now I am wondering if I am using too many additives.....Maybe I should knock my program back to base nutes and Camg?

Gave them a final trim. At the end if this week they are finishing day 38 for nine of them and day 70 for the one. Trichomes are starting to turn but not on every bud yet.

The first girl I picked wasn't ripe yet, that was at day 100. Currently the other pheno's are at day 81 of flower and some of them are starting to amber. I was able to harvest 2 ounces of the first pheno but will have to get added to my hash collection because she wasn't amber enough. About half of the pheno's have turned purple in the late stages of flower. Foxtailling is another trait that these are pushing. Hopefully at least one has the "effect" I am after.

Just waiting on Amber to show up. Im chopping in 7 days regardless.

That's all folks. Thanks for following. 96 days or 13.71 weeks of flower for the last one, Lucky #7.

I didn't find any keepers. Better luck next time. 10 phenos. 2oz on the small yielders, 4 oz was the biggest yield. 24 ounces from 9 plants.
