Germination
2 years ago
Germinated in an off brand aerogarden. Have not had an unsuccessful clone yet from it (knock on wood). Although, two of the five had slower root growth (like they just started to put off roots). These two I might end up trashing. I will judge that in a couple weeks.

The clones have taken well enough to the new environment. I have labeled the two with slower root growth and I will keep an eye on them and update as they continue to grow. If I see fit then I will eliminate them.

The start of a beautiful life. All have growth, still might cull the two slower growers. But as of now i have space and will let them ride.

I have learned from the previous grows of this Phenotype that our needs to be maintained because it will grow out of hand really quick and easily over grow the grow spaces. This is the first time I've topped this pheno. First was scrog only, second was bonsai and lst and a little super cropping. This time I will most likely top once or twice and then some super cropping.

Making steady growth, this part of the timeline I want them to grow vertical as least as possible. These will be here for roughly 4 to 5 more weeks until my late veg/early flower area is ready to be moved over to late flower. I Supercropped the two taller ones to let the other two catch up and also I want to use alot of different techniques here and there so I can truly understand what my Phenotype likes. These are clones of my strongest and heaviest yielders and they are currently going to be a main focus in my perpetual grow so I want to find out which methods work best for these girls.

We're doing everything we can to keep these ladies short. I will possibly continually top them until it's time to move them to the next grow area. They have plenty of time to recover at this point. Just keeping them low and slow because they have still a couple months before they will go to the flowering area.

Nothing to really comment this week will go for another topping before I send them to the later veg grow space. Promising side branching as expected.

Keeping up with training and trying to maintain a low canopy in this stage. Nothing worth reporting on right now. They are starting to drink more and that's good.

Steady growth. A little too much actually. I'm gonna have to do some more topping and defoliating so it can make it for another month or so. I really wish I had a taller area for this stage but sadly I will have to work with what I have. There is no chance for change any time soon.

Doing everything I can to maintain control over these girls. They just like to grow. It also worries me that they act like there blooming which they are completely photo and clones. The just have an abundance of pre flowers yet at 18 hrs uninterrupted light. Either way I did alot of topping and tieing down today. I just have to keep it up for several more weeks. I need to change something in this cycle.

This week has been a recovery week from all the topping I did last week. I've noticed there are hardly any fan leaves and mostly just the thin leaves that form at the shoots. Along with this the plant is covered in pre flowers. That still hasn't changed. If anything maybe with luck it's fine and will just flower quicker. I'm worried that when I clone, they won't take well

Such a bushy girl. She has completely filled my late veg area. And I've come to the conclusion that she is just fully mature with all those preflowers she has. I havnt seen anything negative in that matter. I've topped again, the branches that were physically touching the light. 12 weeks is so long for these girls but they still have a few weeks to go. I can only steadily maintain them. I'm still brainstorming on how I can reduce this time in veg without throwing off my whole cycle while also keeping my two strains phenos. Any suggestions are welcome 😃

As you can see, totally overgrown and blocking the light to the point I looked early and thought the light was off. I'm steadily topping and trying to angle the light to a degree where it's covering more of the plant and topping what's touching and all of the foliage is so bushy at the top where it has been topped so much that I'm going to catch hell when I go to scrog them out when I take them to the larger flower tent. I just need them to hold out a little longer until the other ladies finish.

HUGE haircut for these ladies after transitioning to there new area, they are absolutely loving it. Didn't even blink an eye to the 60 percent loss of there limbs and foliage. This pheno type can sure take a beating. Sadly, this will be her last run. I needed something that would schedule better with the white widow strain I run. I got some cereal milk seeds in the other day. They will take the durban poisons place and after the next few runs I might replace the white widow with critical seeds I also got in the other day. All feminized photos. But I think she is gonna have an awesome final run!

Very steady growth, I have been on top of defoliation. Not to much at a time but alot more than you normally would. When they spent way too long in veg I had no choice but to top and top and top again and it made these bundle of nodes and being a landrace sativa with the heat stress and lack of space they had, they mutated and basically made a bunch of single blade leafs. You can see all in pictures. It did what it's genetics planned best for due to the hot climate that it originates from. It was great on turns l terms of it staying alive and healthy but now I'm seemingly paying for it because this is turning out to be hell to trim. I'm trying my best because I don't want a chance for rot and mildew later on from overlapping leaves and no room to breath. Hopefully this time next week I'll have everything where I want it to be.

On cruise control currently. Work has been very demanding this week. They have been sucking up some water this past week. Steady growth and bulking pistils. My biggest fear is overcrowding buds and leaves later in flower so I will stay as vigilant as possible. They did have a good deal of stress before they went into flower and I went through and checked just in case and there has been no hermetic signs so that's great. It's still bitter sweet that this is her last hoora.

Alot of thickening going on pretty early on in my perspective of growing this same pheno clone 3 or 4 times. I'm worried still about these "bouquets". As pictured I hope I can keep the air moving pretty well to keep any issues at bay. Other than that, they're doing great!

Got busy with work and life and missed a watering and they were not happy. But instantly recovered over night after getting that taken care of. Luckily I caught it in time and it was just barely in time. Pictured is 24 hours after looking extremely wilted. Crazy. But resilient. Still a few weeks to go.

It's been rough for me with everything going on these past couple weeks. Plus I messed up something in my back pretty bad from work this past week and that hasn't helped any. I have been neglectful and it really shows. I am towards late flower so I should have some yellowing but to my knowledge not to this extent. That being said all the sugar leaves are green but still. I am definitely gonna pay come time for wieght. But I will still have a harvest and some is better than none, or having to pay for it. Still roughly2 to 3 weeks to go. I have been feeding plain water for the past couple of waterings so today I added a good bit of bloom and a tad bit of micro to help combat that yellowing some.
