3 seeds germinated but only two made it out of the soil and helmets off. One that didn't make it had longest tap root, maybe germinated half day too long 🤷. Were out of soil 2 days after germination T5 light for this first 7-10 days then into 3x3.
Week one not much to say. Got the two hanging out in the 4x4 while I dry a few plants from the last run in my 3x3. Just watering every 3 days or so (whenever feel dry). Put a sprinkle of Diatomaceous earth on top because I noticed start of fungus gnats on the other plants in the tent (was watering too often). Traps are out and seems like barely any flies left after 24 hours so 🤞 on that front.
Week two has gone by fast! Girls are coming up really nice, #1 is already working on 5th node and #2 is on 4th node. Got the smaller tent cleaned out and washed/sterilized today just need 24 hours to dry before putting plants in. Will be potting up to 2 gal at the same time to give these two some room to stretch their legs.
When I did this strain outdoors she was a monster, so will be aiming for a shorter veg and make sure they get topped at least once. She was also very hearty outdoors, so might try some more aggressive training than I usually do, we shall see!
Happy growing!
Another week is done already wow it went fast! Finally got the 3x3 cleaned out and got these girls transplanted into their 2 gallon pots on day 22 from seed. Using Gaia Green Living Soil and the usual amendments (listed above) plus a healthy amount of Dynomyco. Made sure to give a healthy watering and into the 3x3 they went. Light is a Photontek SQ300w and is set to 50% power @18" height.
Didn't end up having to water them until day 27 but they took just under 2L each, should be good for 3 days or so. These girls grew VERY tall outdoors so made sure to top them on Day 27 and also removed all the lower branches save for the top 3. Left fan leaves to help with photosynthesis for now. 24 hours later and they look happy as ever! 🤞For a good continued recovery and a smooth week.
Well it was a good week that seemed to just fly by! Didn't really do much except water when needed (every 3-4 days) and let the girls recover from the topping late last week. They seem to be in pretty good health and growth has been great this week. 5" height overall but the lower two branches have just about caught up to the top. Gonna be time to start training them in the next day or so. Had good success with Bud Clips on my last grow so will use them again, maybe leave them on a bit longer this time to really let the plant set in place.
Well if this week was a book it's title would have been "Main-lining: A Tale of LST Gone Wrong". Spoiler alert, this book (like many) has a happy ending 🙂.
So just before lights out on Day 36 I decided to start the LST on the girls and get them widened out. Growth was enough to use clips on all branches. Everything seemed to go well and by half way through lights on Day 37 they were both pointing upwards again. Watered both girls that day. Moved the circulating fan higher up the pole to stress plants less and turned on oscillating.
Day 38 came home from work and was excited to see the progress as I know this strain grows very fast and was expecting good results. Opened the tent and saw a plant massacre!! Turns out the fan, even though further away, was creating too much airflow and stress on the plants on top of them already being stressed from the LST clips. #1 lost both tops. #2 lost everything except the lowest branch set. Even then one of the two branches snapped almost clean off. Repaired it with a bandaid and honey as suggested by someone,. Damage was too extensive to repair anything else, so decided it would be a good time to try main-lining, what else could Indo at this point? Also put in a netting under the branches to give them support as the remaining ones were all damaged and very weak. I then closed up the tent, hoping for the best, and went to smoke a BIG joint haha.
By Day 40 plant #1 is showing signs of growth again and #2 is starting to look like it might pull through this but no growth yet. Looks like #1 is no longer relying on the net to stay vertical.
Day 42, wow can't believe how fast #1 is growing! I know that the chart only says 4" vertical growth but she has been pushed under the netting now and is taking up 3/4 of the tent. Almost a good thing #2 is down to only one set of branches because they fill the tent together easy! #2 also finally starting to look like it's recovered and the smallest bit of new growth.
Hoping for a slightly LESS exciting week this week hahaha.
Well I got what I hoped for this week, not much excitement but lots of good healthy growth going on. Both plants shot up 8" this week, even with the training!
Day 45 I decided to transplant into their 5 gallon pots. They were just sucking too much water in the 2 gal, if didn't water daily were looking pretty dry but second day. That's ok though because at the rate these two are growing I have to flower them very soon! When outdoors they doubled or more in height during flower so hoping I won't run out of tent space 🤞. Healthy looking roots and no binding, gotta love the fabric pots!
Day 47 both girls looking quite happy and showing sex already 👍. Put some LST clips on the very ends of the tallest branches to get the canopy evened out. Making sure to check daily and remove clips before they dig into plant this time. Watered 4L for the two at lights on.
Day 48 put on a layer of Diatomaceous earth just to make sure no fungus gnats hanging around.
Day 49 everything is looking great and it's been a pretty smooth week. As mentioned tons of new growth, I would say that every square save for the outside row all around has been filled! Should be getting another set of netting any day now and will use it to finish training the plants plus give some support later when flowering. Will have a spare net if needed for higher up later on. Both girls now seem to be healed up from the LST accident two weeks ago 👍
Hoping for another good week, thinking it's gonna be the last week of Veg at the rate she's going.
Well it's official, we have exited the veg stage and have started flowering, always an exciting time! Was planning on flipping the lights slowly and have them be on 12/12 by day 56, but we had a 12 hour period of no power on day 53 and it lined up perfectly with how I wanted the lights so I just went with it! .
Day 50 got the proper sized SCROG netting and replaced the tied down oversize one I had been using. Much easier to put the girls where you want em with a tight netting. Got a second for support after stretch is done. Put the net a bit lower than original and pushed the girls outwards under it to finish filling the tent. #1 is still taking a good 80% of the space and #2 happily taking the remaining 20%. Also did a good defoliation of both plants with some supervision from Maisey.
Day 53. Had an unexpected ice storm and lost power for 12 hours, and since was going to flip at end of week figured may as well do it now and save some generator power. Nice when things work out like that! And at the rate they're growing better sooner than later haha, I'm kinda wishing I had a taller tent 😳.
Day 3Flower/56Seed. Things are going great. Watering every 4 days right now due to the bigger pots but I'm sure by end of week or sooner we will be back to every 3 days. Have been working on pushing #1 under the net all week and wow she has totally filled the tent now. Gave #2 a chance to catch up in height, canopy is pretty even right now will work on keeping it that way. Not an open square remains, and some branches already outside the netting! Going to be a fight to keep these two small enough for this light. The SQ300 needs 16" clearance at flower vs the X465wPro that only needs 6" clearance, so that means I've got about 18-20" of grow height left. Gonna be a tight fit!! Will have to put carbon filter outside tent 💯
Another week has gone by already! These girls are loving life and looking great after their first week of flower. They're both nice and thirsty, watering every 3 days @3L per plant. No sign of drooping before water but they do feel light and dry. Half way through the week I turned the light up to 100% and have been keeping it at the same 17", should be getting an average of 680 PAR at this height while keeping the center just under 1000. Following the advice from the Migro YouTube page for light specs for the SQ300w. I did end up removing the filter from inside the tent and relocating it outside of tent to gain the extra hanging space before cranking the light to 100. Figure easier to do now while a bit more space rather than struggle with it if (when) plants max out this tent. So far the plants seem to be happy with the extra light, will have to remember to crank to full after first week going forward (usually I've waited till week 2 in the past).
🤞 For another good week, happy growing!
Pretty easy going week this week. Finally got around to giving them a good defoliation Day 14F/66S and boy did they need it! Had to unzip 3/4 of the tent to access all sides (no side doors) and took just over an hour to clean up both plants. Noticable difference, was shaded under canopy before and now light getting all the way to the floor. Added the second netting after defoliation as they're not done growing yet and already a good 12"+ above first net. Rest of the week was smooth sailing, just checking the light daily to make sure it stays at 17" keeping up with the growth. Glad I put the filter outside the tent, the light would be hitting it for sure by now! Otherwise not much to say, both girls have lots of bud sites. Can't wait to see how these fill in!
Been a great grow so far 🤞we continue on this path!
Was a good week this week. For the majority of the week I just kept them watered (every 3 days) and left them to recover from the defoliation and fill back in. By end of week can see the canopy is filled back in with shade underneath again. Mid week on day 21F/74S gave them both a top dressing of Gaia Green amendments. Each received 80ml Basalt Rock Dust, 60ml of Super Fly, and 30ml of All Purpose. This will be the last top dressing with All Purpose now that we are into flower. If anything one, maybe 2 more Power Bloom, and maybe one Basalt Rock Dust depends on how long these flower for.
It's funny but the two plants are starting to look quite different now that the buds are starting. Last week #1 was ahead and #2 barely had any hairs started. Now #1 seems to have advanced little while #2 is rocking full heads of "hair". Also #1 is showing some tip burn, may be from the top dressing, or maybe over watering, but both plants have been treated the same so who knows. I'm thinking maybe was a bit more stressed than #2 from the defoliation as it had a lot more taken off, causing her to drink a bit slower and probably got overwatered a bit. Cut back on the last watering and will give her an extra day before next one if burn is still an issue.
Until next week, happy growing!
Well it was a laid back week for these two girls. Didn't feel like there was much needed being done on a daily, just check light height and make sure humidifier still has water. Only having to fill humidifier every 3 days (usually same day as watering). The AC Infinity smart plug is making it so much more efficient. Also means the fan only runs to keep temp in check. Has been a bit harder keeping the heat down with light on in this run, but I'm thinking it's because the girls got SO big that there isn't much room between them, the light, and the roof so heat builds quickly.
#1 is still suffering from burnt tips and is starting to look pretty "freaky" compared to her sister. Treated the exact same, only difference is #1 is 50% bigger than #2 but both in 5 gallon pots. #2 not a burnt tips in site, I'm really starting to think I accidently put an extra scoop of one of the top dressings on last week......only really thing I can think of honestly. Why I try not to take a big dab rip right before working on the plants hahaha. So just gave both plants straight water PH'd to 6.5 (as usual) and at least the burning didn't progress any after the second day of the week. Despite her funky look, #1 is starting to build trichomes already! #2 looks about 4-7 days behind but that's ok with me 👍.
Hoping to see #2 start frosting this week and hopefully see #1 get a bit more filled in. Going to have to defoliated again soon, but want them healthy as I can before hand.
Heres to another great week!
Trying to figure out if I should be worried that this plant looks so different than her sister. Same strain, same everything, even watered from same bucket at same time and amount. Last runoff 6.6ph Checking runoff again tomorrow when water. Herm or just a weirdo? #5 normal one
a good testament to your formula is how consistently it works with multiple strains... some strains do require an esoteric mix, and, imho, that's only due to poor breeding practices passing on a retarded trait due to laziness to properly select plants that don't exhibit that nonsense.
i'm not sure what you reference in the pics.. but .. the purples are genetics and/or temperatures at night being a tad too low.
if you don't see any pollen sacs, no concern about it being a herm, obviously.
looks a little extra leafy -- could be genetics or just not enough light and the plant makes more leaves in that context too. -- easy to discern, typically. you know if it's strong light or not just from distance from lamp and experience.
some plants grow oddly... i tend to cull those, especially if any oddities in leaves... basically a 'diabetic' or similar plant in some cases where it just doesn't process stuff properly and it'll be a negative 99.9999% of the time. some oddities are no problem... i'd just rather plant extra, kill some spare ones and ensure a more robust crop.
Well not much to say this week. The one plant that looks a little weird is just that, a little weird haha. Both girls looking great otherwise. Got a top dressing of Power Bloom day 34F/87S and a medium defoliation late week. Just removing a bit and thinning them out enough to let the light and heat through. Checked on them next day no sign of shock so that's a bonus. Plant #2 buds have started to tighten down and hairs are starting to turn amber. Going to have to start checking trichomes soon, according to breeder this strain is only a 6-7 week flower and were about 5.5 weeks in now so I think things will change quickly. Hoping for a better CBD content with this indoor run. When ran outside was only 3% CBD and 3% THC, where should be 0-1% THC and 16-20% CBD. 🤞 For good things and a smooth next few weeks!
Well another week has passed and the trichomes are just packing on these two ladies. I've come to the resolve that #1 is just gonna be a weirdo but she is still doing her thing and producing nice sticky trichome covered buds. Very tight with little hair on them. #2 on the other hand is forming big fat hairs buds. Even with the double netting she is starting to lean heavily (especially the main two colas). Not surprised though, because the top two buds are easily 18-20" long!! 🤯. Both the girls are super sticky to the touch and just cruising towards the finish line. Time to sit back and watch the last bit of magic happen 😍.
Well we're just over 50 days into flower and still going strong! Breeder says 6-7 weeks flower, and the trichomes are looking pretty cloudy but no signs of Reds yet so we shall keep at it! As the week went on could notice how the buds on #2 continued to swell. She is getting so big that almost all of the branches are bending from the bud weight. Hairs are getting more red but still a decent amount of white and the buds are starting to feel much thicker and fuller. #2 has also really been changing colors this week, fading into a nice purple. Have also noticed that the leaves on both plants are just starting to lose color and die off, a sure sign that the end is near👍🤞. Otherwise just watered and kept checking on them daily as usual but the week went by smooth and issue free.
Well folks we are finally here, the last week of flower for these two beauty plants. As the week progressed the last of the hairs on #2 turned amber and curled down nice and tight. By day 58 flower any picture I took with the magnifier showed Reds and cloudy trichomes, so we are going to harvest them tonight.
Watering was down to 3L per plant every 4 days, another sure sign that they are at the end. That and the curling, yellowing leaves as they are sucked dry of nutrients.
It's been a great grow, so happy with how the plants went even after the almost near disaster in their early life. May end up purposefully trying to mainline next time rather than accidently hahaha.
This stuff grew like bananas! By that I mean it was a super fast growing strain with a high stretch rate that produced buds that were as long as but thicker than bananas! Very hearty plants, had a training accident or two and basically had to emergency mainline and hope they made it. They pulled through and were champs the whole grow. A few seeds left for next time.
