Hi Growmies
Here we are close to the finish , these girls have been a pleasure to grow with a minimum of effort and input since setting them in their final pots. A little l.s.t and H.s.t initially to try to get a good footprint for the lights to be best used. This is my main plan since going to l.e.d lighting as the penetration is not deep enough to allow them to grow too naturally in my limited space too. I am more than happy with the main canopy amd to still get a good amount of chunky mains with 6 plants to the single Viparspectra fitting is pushing it a bit.lol
The Bruce Banner #3 has continued to fatten her lower buds this week so will add nicely to her overall yield when I chop her next week. I think she jad at least a week in her to go from looking at her trichromes with the scope. she still has plenty of clear ones around with only a few turning opaque.
Candy rain is very close to coming down now. She has been maturing all week with her pistils all nearly orange now and no more fresh ones being put out at all. Her trichromes are milky when looking yesterday and she has been on a water feed only for the past 4 days. she is taking less water now too so I think its her time !.
Both of the Jealousy girls are still pushing fresh and spikey new trichromes out while they continue to swell. The #1 is definitely more productive in her flowering and has a way lower bud-leaf ratio than her sister too. She is a big beast of a llant and would be humongous if scrogged out or grown outside in a good natural sunshine grow.( never happen in the UK sadly!).
I have given them the last feed of the Dragon force today but will still give them a mild feeding until their last few days. I am confident that they will benefit from this as the nutes I use are mineral based and in conjunction with the supersoil mix , don't need flushing necessarily. I do this to signal "NO MORE FOOD " and encourage them to start using their fan leaf stores before their chop.
All in all a great week and only the best stages to go now ( except trim-jail sentence at harvest!).
@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.
