Its been really cloudy and rainy so there hasn't been any noticeable growth and currently its only around 140 µmol m-2 s-1 with the phone light censor while an indoor light would read 400-600+ µmol m-2 s-1. I mostly think its hard to keep clones going for a few years without thinking there needs to be a seed stock, they either make seeds or they keep them in a facility or all of it is textbooks as in its not realistic to grow these for long term. If you find them in a pack of seeds but mostly when your not there anymore they don't exist they go extinct. If you store seeds in a fridge they'll last for awhile but you gotta employ someone or make a hobby of it to remake them and thats where it isn't being grown out to extent that it could be.
Its confusing because its Super Skunk X Afghani X Big Skunk Korean X Afghan Hawaiian strains crossed with Sensi Star that is crossed with a Afghani X OG Kush cross..thats alot of confusion. Its confusing if theres few plants and one tests higher THC but I think the other one that tests lower is better, how do you cross breed these plants when the result is I can't say if one is better than the other based on a solution. Smoking isn't that great and vaporizers there not really flavorful so im not really sure other than by how it performs in flower but if you have two identical plants you would need to check if your going to keep one for clones.
note: not that I don't like supercropping but it does work but so does a net, this strain does have the tendency to break a branch on a crimp and that is exactly what it did and failed to work on one of the woody stems and it was one of the smaller plants so it looks like one of the smallest plants of the group but thats ok because I don't need an extra branch and thats also the issue here with the commercial growing properties now, they don't need the extra branches so supercropping visually works but doesn't look good. Normally I don't want any of them be to supercropped or the smaller ones but for testing purposes they did break. They may still do this to get larger plants for taking clones but for flowering purposes id avoid it if you can use a net but for electricity saving costs supercropping allows you to put more plants under a light while vegging instead of using a net. The feelings are negative while supercropping.
- two broken branches and two broken small stem nodes and thats a pretty high number of branches to break when supercropping but it does that sometimes. It takes a couple weeks to see a major change from doing that but it works.
- Make that three broken branches another one died today, its not rocket science.
@Todzilla,yhea you can pull the rebar with lawn staples probably I like using rock, you can hold the rebar in with a lawn staple if its not in super deep but I could probably hammer it in as deep as the container, I think that for photography purposes the rock explains the plant, its like the sands of time unfolding before you, you can't explain why something so large is so small yet so many times larger.
@blackskaarj1,I use lawn staples in rocky hard soil and it works for stabilization quite well. The staples are the lowest cost and easiest to install.
I also have used bamboo, stakes, and rebar. They all work for wind.
You just gotta get it done.
@Todzilla,no you can't use lawn staples you need to take a piece of rebar hammer it into the ground and then put a long piece in and your likely to either hit up against another rock or it'll work or not at all.
Hey, you can get a magnifying glass app for your phone that works good enough to see trichomes. No need for a loupe or physical magnifier. Can get good bud pics easily, even using an old phone.
What an nice outdoor grow so far - good job and well done 🤝 never did outdoor myself.
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
Cheers, Bud Boutique 👩🌾
I did feel that not having any structures or roads in the way of the plants as they grow is better visually, the material that the plants are up against affects how you feel about them. Its better than landscaping that you would normally see, its better. I do encounter alot of wildlife though, its definitely there to see. Its my experience vs your idea of what is supposed to be enjoyable and that means I couldn't imagine it being a good idea for August and September because of the fire season but that is what im looking at.
