Evening 2/8/23 - Defoliated the lower fans on all 3. I left the top two fans on the Lemon and Mimosa. Added an Exhale CO2 bag to the tent. Morning 2/9/23 - Watered using most of the Build A soil Pre-Bloom feeding schedule. I used 2 oz/gallon of fermented sprouted quinoa. God it smells horrible. I think one more week then the flip begins. Evening 2/9/-23 - I removed the last two top pairs of fan leaves on the Lemon and Orange. I started LST on all Three by pulling down the top two branches. The Cherry got it's top 4 branches pulled down. Photos taken. Morning 2/10/23 - All of the pulled down tops were aimed back up this morning so I readjusted and tightened them back down. The MimosaOP is looking rather lush and I like it's structure. The Cherry is still robust. The Lemon wants to get tall. Evening 2/11/23 - (The Flip! <-- WRONG! see 2/14) I watered with recharge, spread BAS Craft Blend, Top Dressed with BAS Build a Flower and added some more clover crop cover seeds. Took photos. Day 2/12/23 - Added the Mars-Hydro UR-45 UV and IR light system. I placed each bar about 6 inches away from the SP3000 at the same height. I gave the plants a small dose of UV and IR at noon for about 10 minutes. The plan is to give them a dose of about 30 minutes at high noon during the formation of trichomes. Morning 2/13/23 - Watered using the BAS schedule for Bloom Transition, added 3ml Fish Shit, air bubbled for 24 hours, used 1 gallon, added 2oz Fermented Sprouted Quinoa just before watering. I really very much dislike the smell. I am going to start watering more frequently with less water with occasional fresh water to run off about once a week. I'm still adapting to Organic and have no idea what I'm doing, just watching, listening, and trying new things to see what works well for me. Morning 2/14/23 - I made a mistake. I do not know for how long but my timer was switched to the On position not the Timer position. I have been running them under 24 hours of light for God knows how long. I hope I accidentally hit the switch when I flipped to 12/12 3 days ago. I caught this last night. Last night was the first 12 hour dark period. 🙏 Now the true flip has occurred I watered using 1 gallon of the BAS Bloom Transition, with Fish Shit and Molasses added. I removed the two lowest branches on the Cherry and Lemon. All plants now have 8 branches. The Mimosa is really taking off. I think it has the best root structure.

After I transplanted these into 5 gallon fabric pots and have used Build A Soil Living Organic Soil Oly Mountain Compost all three plants lower leaf sets have curled downward. My night temps are getting down to 62 degrees. Why are my lower leaves curling down?

Hi, it seems that your seedling is living in a slightly too dry environment, look for VPD online and find out about the subject to understand the best combinations of temperature and humidity for each growth phase (At your temperature, after 5 weeks I recommend a 50 % humidity). However it seems that your seedlings are not absorbing enough oxygen from the roots for some reason (Too much water, root rot, soil saturated with fertilizers), check the EC and pH of the water flowing out of your pot. Good luck!

You don't say WHEN you transplanted them but I feel this is simply the plants needing time to recover from the transplant... It's also possible the soil is a little too hot for them unless they were in that same soil before... and finally, that temp is not good - needs to be at least 68F if you can manage it... purple strains like colder temps and will react favorably by increasing their colors but at this stage, you run the risk of stunting the little ladies... Good luck!

Living Organic Soil users unite! Forgive my ignorance this is my first time growing LOS. I am currently using Build A Soil Living Organic Soil - Oly Mountain Compost. When is the proper time to water? In my previous soil grows I would take things rather dry before watering.

Living soil is no different in regards to water as any other soil.... you water when they're dry and you make sure your plant has a definite wet/dry cycle. Good luck...

How long does the stretch last with Indica dominant hybrids? I understand this is dependent on genetics. I am just looking for a ball park figure. It's been so long since my last real grow I have lost the feel. If I remember correctly it is usually about 2 weeks.

The flowering stretch in most cannabis plants lasts about 2 weeks. Sativas will rise more than indicas in that time, but it lasts about the same amount of time for both subspecies. The only plant I've ever seen go longer than 2 weeks is Dr Grinspoon - that's a proper heirloom sativa and it didn't stop stretching for nearly 4 weeks! As you say, it's completely dependent on genetics, but I would estimate 50-100% stretch with indicas, and 75-150% stretch in sativas. Hope that helps!

Why is my Mimosa x Orange Punch yellowing? It looks like older growth is being affected gradually more. The overall growth seems to have slowed or stopped. I've been feeding plenty and just the same as the others who are loving it.

Different strains require different feeding! Your mimosa is starving and needs more nutrients than the other two plants. Your cover crop/companion plants could also be stripping nutrients from the soil mix. Mulch is great, but when growing in pots, cover crops are a no-no in my experience.

Right so it could just be the pheno being picky about her nutrient strength. On the other hand it is a lighter colored strain to begin with but you can start with increasing her feed a bit to see if she starts looking more to your liking. Other than that you don't have your ph listed so that's a bit concerning but just make sure it's between 5.5-6.5 ( you can go a little higher in soil 6.6-6.7 ish). Hope this helps.

When do you start counting days of Flower? At the flip to 12/12 or at the first definite signs of calyxes and pistils?

People will argue, because people. I'll guarantee better results if you start counting when you start seeing pistils. Usually around 2 weeks after switch. Anyone else is lying. You can check through any grow on here and prove this.

For photoperiods, the breeders refer to flowering time as time from the day you flip til the day you chop. Most of these popular polyhybrid cultivars now days from seed are around 8-9 week flowerers. That means 56-63 (approximately) days from the day you change your lighting schedule to 12/12. Usually for me this breaks down to 14ish days of transition, 14ish days of stigmas filling in at bud sites, 14-21 days of bracts/“calyxes” stacking and bulking up, then finally 7-14 days of ripening and finishing. It really doesn’t matter how you count it tho, as long as you’re consistent and keep track of things. Having said that, a large majority of growers count from the day of flipping lights.

I start counting at the flip and start giving flowering nutes immediately. In the end, harvest is based off the trichome development so really day count is just a guideline on when you should start putting your eyes on your trichomes.

Nice grow, your ladies look awesome. We love B.A.S. products also. To us seems easier than synthetic nutes. And we think tastes better too. Love the color of the cherry land. Where did you get those seeds?
CalyxHunter
CalyxHunter
@doobieandthedutchess, Thanks! I can't wait to taste these. The CherryLand genetics are the best I've ever grown. I got them directly from the breeder, Justin Esquivel, with greenlusterphenos.com, who is a genius. I will be trying their Wintry Fruit at some point too. They also offer Type II and Type III cannabis that are CBD and cannabinoid heavy. I bet his genetics will soon become popular with main stream dispensaries.

Your diary is breathtaking, thanks for the advice of living soil. I’d like to one day. I’ve done soil, Dwc and hempy, but haven’t gone all out on a soil grow. I believe in your methods, keep it up 👍
