Hi all
What a great week it has been for the Zammi girls this week. I flipped them to flowering two days after my last entry. They had reached a good point for my space to make sure that I have the airflow and light coverage to endure the mains could all benefit. The results of the H.s.t/Quad training has been successful and I now have multi merristems ( mains) of equal position . This will now hopefully feed them all the benefits that the main usually gets and ensure lots of chunky colas with very little popcorn to waste energy on.
Bruce Banner #3 is performing brilliantly. I did lose the snapped and repaired f.i.m but the crown of mains ( 8) and the single one left in the middle will be a great foundation for the next stage of their life. This lady has not missed a beat from the Germination and is showing the breeding experience that has produced it too. No signs of any issues at all so far.
Candy Rain although a lot smaller than her cousins from Zammi is beginning to catch up very nicely with 4 very chunky looking mains forming. The last next week of stretch should give her a very nice shape and structural strength for some fat colas too. Her colour and vigour is excellent and the rips are putting out so e very nice energy too.
Jealousy #1 is really enjoying the chance to push as many of her branches to light as possible with the opening up of her natural growing structure. Plenty of in-fighti g to be the main stem which is a benefit and her overall size and appearance is excellent. #2 has really been a shock with the size of some of her fan leaves ( see pic) She has a few huge I es that will be grabbing so many lumens to convert that I will be sad to defoliate them . She is really fighting to impress over her sister it seems and her overall size is just a little smaller than #1. They have plenty of lower stem growth with fairly short node lengths that will form up to make some very long thick colas hopefully.
Seeing how well these girls have filled the space and the nice even canopy that is still uniform after a weeks stretch , I think I will need to defoliate at day 21 of flowering to make sure they don't get too close together and stop the cool fresh air from circulating through them all. We are just warming up in the UK so I thinkni will need to also keep check on room temps and humidity more now too. Hope the video is useful to someone out there and I hope you can continue to follow along as we go. Be safe and well.
@love_2_grow,welcome aboard and thank you. hopefully have some interesting entries when they get their feet. I hope you will join the fun and input whenever you feel the vibe. No comment/advice is ever unwelcome and learning to grow the best bud we can comes from lots of shared experiences and experimenting. have a great day Growmie
@Zammi_official,Thanks you.
These strains have all been great to grow and harvest. With very little effort, they have proven themselves to be fruitful and really vigorous too. Nice and hardy to work with and no issues with bugs or deficiency. would happily recommend them all. π
@Eauderay,Thank you. They have been performing really well since Germination. hoping they continue to impress me noawnrhey have been put in 12/12 light. Thanks for the comment and welcome.
@Hermes88,I am not experienced with outdoor growing as our weather never really allows a decent summer to grow one. it will begin to flower as the days shorten to 12 hours and approx 8-11 weeks after , the flowers should be mature and ready to harvest. Dependant on the strains recorded flowering times by rje breeders.
@Hermes88,I think another week to ensure the branches reach the pots edges before I flip them to flowering. This should create bud spikes that have a nice spacing for air flow and light penetration to give the maximum availability of light to all the buds.
@Ganjagrandaddy, thank you again. I think I'll go for HST with topping and FIM. But I read that this strain takes 'til September to harvest because it's a photoperiod.
Am I wrong? Thank you for you kindness.
