Not surprised one bean didn't pop, they're 14 months old.. 4/5 aint bad! Using the trusted paper towel method. I tried floating water cup last time and only had 70% success. I have my tent hooked up with several ESP8266 and ESP32 devices to automate the lights, fans, heaters and even nutrient dosing!
2-3 full node sets on the remaining 3. Ol' helmet did not make it. Still hand watering but getting the #autopot cleaned and ready for use. Mixed the buffered coco into some perlite. This big ol' hand-me0-down cooler is a must have!
Week 4 is transplant week! The plants have established solid roots in the solo cups, and now we move them over to the larger and final pots. I am using Autopot Spring XL pots. Training and topping might start next week!
Week 5 is all about the first topping for mainlining or manifold training. Each plant is cut just above 3rd node, and we defoliate everything below. Going for 2 nice horizontal lines.
No more toppings, just defoliate & bend, defoliate & bend. But you can see the heavy wires attempting to keep the lines well spaced and horizontal as possible. Several breaks from clumsy hands.
Finding Super Lemon Haze branches to be really stiff, and more prone to break vs bending compared to the past 6 strains I've grown. It heals super quick when I bandage, but I've torn several nodes clean off through these 2 months...several. THinking ill add a little SI to next dosing. Also I am turning down light 4 hours this week, and next 2 to flip to flower by week 12
This week I laid the terrible stretchy net (seriously people, just dont buy them) but added some surveyor string to add the needed tension. That means all the wire can come off and I know these stalks were happy about that! Training did not go nearly as well as I hoped, but looking at 6-8 colas per plant.
Some light defoliation this week to hopefully get more airflow and encourage upward growth before flowering sets in. (already well underway), might go heavier next week. Got some nasty visitor chewing my leaves, but not aphid or mites, possibly cricket or beetle... monitoring.
Had to re-settle a few of the arrangements to avoid crowding, but generally pleased with the canopy. Not very level but every cola has their space to fill just fine. Check out my timelapse!
The smell is wild, overwhelming lemon pez, I want to eat them now.
Had some watering issues that will surely stunt one of them ,but she recovered in a day or two very nicely. A little bit of defoliation just to allow light/air to get to each cola as they fill out more. Overcame an issue with watering, and added some automated alerts to warn me if the daily average drink rate drops again.
Coming in to the final weeks!
I just knocked feed into last "ripen" stage before flush. ~50% feed maybe. One of the plants is sugar, just packing on trichomes like a wizard. One is actually concerning me a little with continued leaf necrosis and a little fox-tailing. 3rd is a happy medium, nice and crystally.
Honestly none quite as bulky as I wanted, I think the under-nourished weeks 2-4 of flower really hit hard.
But the bud is super crystally, and a really nice high. Not the mental boost but a solid background high. Tastes awesome. Great lemon pez smell and a slight northern lights aftertaste. Plant was super easy to grow, bushy but took nutrients like a pro, no issues. Handles slightly colder temps of northeast US basement in winter.
Pulled 8 7-9g colas on the first struggler, well short of my qp per-plant goal. Ill increase my plant and yield count as I pull the rest. Still have 2 more plants that ahve gone another week and didnt miss the feed this one did. Hopefully we still get at least ~10oz from this run :(
