Flowers are already pretty dense with a nice layer of trichomes. Hoping to see some of the smaller clusters stack into each other this week making some fat colas. Upped the EC to 1.7 and will be at 1.8 towards the end of the week. With a finishing time of 56-60 days, this one could be ready before the 9 week mark.
Update:
I'm seeing a lot of dark pistils already and the lower buds are ripening first. Never seen that before. There's a substantial amount of cloudy trichomes on the tops and with about 16 days left to the 56 day mark, I should start flushing soon.
EC run-off was hot at 2.5 and started seeing some leaves curling. The pots are drying out super fast and that's what's been giving me issues with high run-off values. I could never figure out how I'd get signs of overfeeding when I NEVER overfeed. Turns out I just needed to add an extra watering event to keep the coco wet. Root zone EC still rises during lights off, (as there's a 13 hour gap in feeding overnight) but it stays much closer to the EC in.
@Louder,Ya, He put on quite the show, between him and bucky we have the net covered really good. Another WIN last night😀, hope we can replicate tonight..
Merry Christmas!!
@northernMike, Thanks! Hoping to see her really bulk up the next week or so. Wanted to snip the little lower branches off but now I'm afraid I'll stress her out and herm her too lol
@Louder, I'll stick to auto's for the remainder of this year just so I have some herb to smoke this summer and next fall I'll start a few photo's, can't wait, got my strains all picked out already, all sativa except for one.
Have yourself a great day!!!
@northernMike, It's kind of a trade-off right? You can get really consistent results growing the same strain over and over but then you have no variety! I'm getting wildly different results just using different breeders. My method is pretty static but yields are all over the place. Not mention some plants herming but not others in the same room (might have a cold spot).
Gah, Nashville ...we looked tired after the first period. Both goalies were unreal. Let's get the next one!
@Louder,I get a lot of variety, but the consistency is not there, every plant seems a bit different than the one before. Next fall I'm going to grow some photoperiods with a couple autos just for some variety. I'll probably grow a couple of autos outside this summer, kinda plant and forget because I won't be home all that much.
Nashville tonight, should be a good game👍..
Later.
@Dilphoducus, you might have found a planet of the grapes pheno...I think that was listed as a pheno of member berry on the Ethos site. POTG is a parent in the 10th planet strain so that's probably where the similarities in aromas come from.
@Dilphoducus, I've still got a few beans of this 10th Planet and a couple Banana Daddy R1 left to run before I order Ethos again. So hard to choose. Got a fairly large order from the UK on the way (if royal mail comes through). Fingers crossed
