Dropped 3 seeds; Each one in a shot glass sitting on a 80F heated seedling mat. Each shot glass contains tap water with a few drops of peroxide. Once the seeds sit for 12 hour - I will carefully transfer the seeds to a paper towel, and fold it so that the seed is oriented with the pointed end down. I maintain this position when I place the coiled and folded towel, back into the same shot glasses to soak up the liquid and sit in the heated mat with a cover on them to block out the light and hold the heat in. A tap root normally appears within 48hr.
Starting to feed with their water. At the end of the week, transferred to to 7 gal pots because I will be out of town for a week and need to be able to feed all of my plants remotely from the same reservoir via a pump. Having the same size pots is important.
Was not able to tend them personally for a week, so I set them up with a pump/reservoir autofeeder. They were all under the same light, got the exact same amount of water/nutes. Came back to find 3 distinctly different plants. They did very well without me. #1 appears to be indica, its staying squat #4 is clearly a Sativa. It’s structure and narrow leaflets are the first clues. One of them has a lovely skunky odor already 💪🏽. I’ll have to move them apart to their individual individual lights VS the shared long light they are under now to determine which one is skunky. I sure hope the skunk stays.
This is the last week before the lights are flipped. I am removing the larger fans that block the budsites. #3 and #4 have shown themselves to be autos. #4 is a sativa and it is growing so fast and its really large for an auto of its age. #1 is the opposite of #4, small, compact, wide bladed leaves. #3 is middle ground.
#1 is not showing any sign of flowers or preflowers, it is showing some bleaching leaf tips and frankly I am not certain it isn’t a potassium deficiency, otherwise its a pH issue. It’s definitely not nute burn because it’s not had much in the way of nutes. I am moving the light up to 30” above the foliage in hopes it causes her to stretch out those nodes a little more
#3 is an autoflower, it’s got a smaller stature and gorgeous little pom-pom buds starting.
#4 is an autoflower that appears to be sativa dominant in its structure and bud formation. I’m impressed with how quickly it’s grown. It is nearly as large as a photoperiod I started 2 weeks prior to it.
#1 still isn’t showing flowers. I flipped the lights on 10/12 and it’s been 12 days. #3 is a gorgeous little indica auto that is just loaded with buds. Reminds me of Black Sugar. #4 is little taller and looked like it was going to be a sativa dominant hybrid. She’s loading up with budsites too.
#1 still not flowering it’s been almost 3 weeks since the flip to 13/11. #3 is loaded with buds!! #4 is also loaded. #3 and #4 aren’t stretching a ton, and I love that they seem to be putting all of their energy into making buds. I’ve defoliated some to keep the budsites in the light.
#1 had her own diary now. I needed to split them because she was still not in flower when these gals were 4 wks in.
Starting to see some purple tones on the buds, more purple tones on #4 than #3 right now. #3 has more trichomes than #4 at this time and #3 has fatter buds.
#3 is Loaded with trichomes and smells like candy!! Such a beauty, very compact form, easy to grow. I’m 😍 in love!
Under the microscope, a sample showed A few amber, but mostly milky and clear trichomes.
#4 seems a maybe to be a little longer flowering than #3. It’s not quite as far along in cola development. It’s a nice mid-size, super easy to train. It’s a nice mid-size plant, super easy to train. Absolutely beautiful colors, the smell is more of spices, exotic wood, and something else - I can’t tell if it is leaning sweet or chem because the spicy, almost peppery exotic notes tend to obscure it.
I’ve been stuffy headed for a few weeks, perhaps now that my head is clearing up I’ll be able to ID the terp profile better soon.
These girls have come through (intentional) varying temps, humidity and pH variability randomly thrown in during all of the weeks, that caused other plants to stress, and even herm. But these girls have made it to the end beautifully. They were easy to grow despite a lot of variability, they were not drama queens. The worst thing to happen was a little tip burning and curling. Not bad girls, not bad. #4 smells more chem than anything else while #3 smells sweet and candy-like.
Easy grow, tons of budsites. I just gave it basic grow and bloom nutrients, basic soil, didn’t push them for performance and still managed to pull 120gm dried & trimmed buds off of this one.
Such an easy strain to grow and large, tight, conical, nugs on a compact plant. Yield was 70gm. I didn’t fuss over it at all except defoliation. I did remove all of of the inner and lower popcorn producing buds. Otherwise, I just kept the res full. Using Earth Juice Seablast is just a matter of adding 1/2teasp of dry grow or bloom nutes per gallon of water. I freehanded a touch of molasses and added 2ml of silicablast to each gallon as well. Ph’d it down into range, and that’s it.
The smell is sweet but not easily defined. I’d call it a silky-smooth, sweet floral with a wispy, balsam-herbal, lingering top note. It’s the kind of thing that has you say, “that’s nice, I think I‘ll hit that again.”
