Really happy about the growth I see. I just took cuttings to preserve the new types I am testing out. The ventilation seems to be improved by fixing the ducting. The next watering is only water and probably just over a gallon for the ones in 15 gallon pots and about a gallon for the 5 gallon pots.
The plants have grown into their pots and are thriving. I just had a bunch of cuttings root and now have a clone of each genotype and phenotype. The strawberry cough continues to impress me with her growth and three or four main flowering locations and the stalk and stem sizes (her cuttings rooted excellently).
Start of week 2. Got some good pictures of the grow and the plants themselves are doing great. I will have to add more fertilizer to the mix to get the plants greener and stronger as Ive noticed some have more light green foliage this last couple of days but they did just recieve water only recently. Some leaf dropoff but the upper canopy of each plants looks strong.
It is a great start to week 3 and the buds are starting to really show good early development. Most have actually developed to having a true collection of small buds. Strawberry Cough continues to impress with a girthy stalk and girthy branches. The Columbian Gold from World of Seeds is tallest and would look great Grandma's back or sideyard. Having 2 strawberry types after not having tried growing strawberry types has been interesting.
This week was different because I traveled to Oregon to be at my Mom's residence. I got back just in time to water. I fed the plants flowering nute and water. The flowers have begun to start to smell strongly in some cases. The banana planet 2 was a male but really happy outside. The purple punch are really showing their dense flowers very early this time and strong resin production. The Jack has the strongest smell but the Spliff's Strawberry has started to smell like a different Jack Herer but Jack Herer is in the genetic ancestry of Spliff's Strawberry. The only plant left to show what her resin smells like is the Strawberry Cough but great internodal spacing and a triumphantly big stem or stalk with large leaves as well.
This week there was a lot of leaf drop off. It is the end of week 4 and the start of week 5. The flowers are growing very well. I took a gamble and gave them a PK booster a week early than usual and they all thrived except for sour orange spectrum. The orange is coming back with white hairs and small buds so far. Banana Planet 1 has shown nice fat hairs which will hopefully lead to nice fat buds. The Jack Herer is Mrs. Stinky of the bunch and is the first one I smell when walking in the room. Spliff's Strawberry is smelling like strawberries and Jack Herer more. The purple punches are starting to make dense flowers already and resin is by the naked eye throughout the room on all flowering plants.
End of week 5 start of week 6. The flowers are showing great progress toward making dense fat flowerz. The purple punch is as dense as I have ever seen this many weeks into flower and will probably be my cover shot. The Jack Herer from Greenhouse Seeds is fragrant, sweet and skunky and Ive decided to cross her with the Banana Planet male from; the Banana Planet seed is from Red Scare Seed Company. Strawberry Cough looks like such healthy bush low, wide and having a very thick stem or main stalk. Banana Planet 1 has big hairs and is starting to make real bud. Very strong smell in the room but I have odor filtrarion in place.
Hot weather is leading to a lot of leaf drop but the room is staying more than 7 degrees cooler than outdoor temperature. The flower is getting dense and resinous. All plants in the room are thriving and smell great. End of week 6 start of week 7 and harvest is just over 3 weeks away.
The color show is beginning with hues of purple coming into the leaf around the purple punches. Jack Herer is full and first or second in most productive of the new types being tested out. Spliff Strawberry has nice solid buds forming with lots of scent when the sugar leaves are rubbed. Chem Valley is big and productive. The Columbian Gold looks more and more like a great outdoor type which is still awesome. The banana planet and some of the sour orange spectrum had to be sprayed with safer powdery mildew spray to protect the buds from moldew, which seems more common in later months with really sugary bud. Other than that the week was good and harvest is quickly approaching.
This week the smell of the plants overtook the odor sweeper and now it smells a bit in the backyard. I will be adding my grandma's grow as its own diary pretty soon (outdoor and I get to see what columbian gold can do outsode in Oregon).
The Jack is falling on its own weight even with a stem and branch strength nutrient. The purple punch is as well but will my first good closeup shot for near harvest. The spliff strawberry is growing great and making really dense nice smelling flowers. The blue raz will be topped and bent the next time around. Columbian Gold looks more suited for outdoor. The bubblegun is a true one bud type and the only mj plant I have ever seen force flower because of being rootbound. Sour Orange smells like orange pop when I bump into it. Strawberry Cough is bushy and the buds look very good. And Chem Valley Kush is one I tried out years ago and found that it had a deep purple flavor. This phenotype seems different within the same seed line but smells great amd has started to tip over because of her owm weight. Chem Valley is taking the longest to ripen and mature but large and productive.
Harvest has started and 3 plants have already been harvested at end of week 9 start of week 10. The purple punch plants have made buds worthy of part their ancestry name Big Buds. I have 6 buds that might weigh in at 7 to 10 plus grams a piece and got close ups of the bud. Most of the buds look nearly ready and the smell weakened just a bit like their dank smell is being held in the bud a bit more. Many of the buds look dense and covered in trichomes. I think I'm going to make the Spliff's Strawberry the cover shot. But if you look at my close ups zoom in to see the resin. It looks awesome to me.
Lots of leaf die off. Harvested about half and happy with how it turned out. Back to the room with the safer gro fungicide. Great development of the flower in the room and great smell. Harvest the rest in less than a week. Then I will put the new girls in the room and start the cycle again. This time I will create a diary for each type like others do on growdiaries.con.
Really strong on the Jack but definite strawberry cough tones and even tastes like strawberry lemonade when a pink lemonade is drank. The rest of the pot is on the shelf. I originally filled a cookie jar completely but I got a picture of it afterwards. Next crop is already in the main room and recuperating from being crowded in the tent.
