Rockstar Clones from Bonsai to Outdoors.

Today is a special day because im including 4 Alien OG females and 1 Alien OG male with the addition of an autoflower plant. I put the Alien OG seeds into water to germinate on May 8th and 4 days later one of them sprouted from the coco and by May 17th they were ready to start vegging but they grew very slowly and there now 72 days old and that is why you need to start some of your seeds 6-8 weeks or longer before putting them outside unless you want to grow smaller plants. Currently 60 gallons of nutrient solution is just enough for a few days of watering but id rather there be a 100-200 gallons of nutrient solution mixed up. This impacts my decision on growing additional plants because I don't want to use more nutrient solution. It looks like alot of vegetation but the large ones don't yield alot when flowering in September and October, they yielded very little the last time flowering in my climate and that means they absolutely would need a greenhouse. The mornings are quite cold now and August is also very cold in the mornings and requires sweaters, I think the hydroponic lighting industry has sales because of how cold it gets. The weather right now isn't warming up until 11 am and that means theres alot of sub optimal temperatures but it also does get pretty warm during the day. Something interesting about the PPFD requirements are that on the farthest point under a light you can read 90 PPFD while you may see 500-600 PPFD at higher readings but they veg a similar speed under the 90 PPFD but not as fast so you need to move them around to get similar growth but your still able to keep the plants the same size but under the sunlight at 1600 PPFD your experiencing drops in temperatures and shade that may effect the growth of the plants, the plants have a level cap on how many inches they can grow in a week without adding increased co2 levels or growing with high pressure air pumps or high pressure aeroponics or high flow RDWC systems. If you purchase a light your all of sudden getting 18 hours of sunlight at 78-80f, they are somewhat better in August and September if your climate is cold from 8 pm to 11 am. Personally I would like to see a higher image quality for photographing, if you can get a higher than 12.6 MP camera for image quality that would be great. It is a file size discussion, I always like a better image quality. My phone isn't that small, its a really huge file size is all that im thinking but ive seen some better image quality. I like these files but there not really an identical image of what im looking at necessarily. On Day 99 Veg I decided to prune the interior of the plants and though this is normally worked on in the first two weeks of flower and it does visually look less appealing than growing them with all of small branches, its alot of cleaning up later on at this size. It was about a 5 gallon bucket full of branching and leaves and that looks like about half of the plant but because they stretch so much it doesn't really matter. I try to prune to 6 nodes but you can prune to 4 nodes and ive seen some people prune theres all way to the end of the branch and only leaving the thicker stem sizes but in RDWC with co2 some of those lower branches get really large but they don't in coco or soil and that means they don't prune at all. I know all of the smaller interior sizes are good for hash material but I don't need to make any so it doesn't matter. Id describe it as that there see through now, its quite dramatic to see the comparison and because of that im thinking that because the jungle is denser and has a thicker canopy that is effecting the mind and how you see it and that means if you live in the desert you are absolutely missing out on that part of life, it should be there but it isn't but this plant does somewhat give you an idea of what part of the brain is being used to make you think that. Though these forests are somewhat safer than the jungle for wildlife, it does mean that you may think that the weather is to cold here and that might mean the jungle is better to live in but it can be slightly more stressful because of the wildlife. Its visually not seeming grown in thick enough after the prune, some of the effect of seeing the plants is gone, its really strange that it does that and the brain is saying why is it like that, it shouldn't be like that. As far the strength goes of the edibles, what I did was decarboxylate 8g of 25 micron hash and I used 500g of earth balance and I used water to reduce the flavor and color and simmered it on low for 3 hours, I then refrigerated it and was left with 300g of hash butter and 5ml was a strong dose but 2.5ml was a high pressure heart as in alot higher but im having some heart problems so I didn't use it. I put it in the freezer and threw it out before it expired because I couldn't use it. The day before Week 15 the largest plants are getting pretty light of moisture after 3-4pm though you could probably water at 5pm its looking pretty close to them drying out with the temperatures in the 90's. Id prefer these to be in atleast 15 gallon containers right now but id prefer to use 20 gallon+ and 25 gallon is probably a good size for plastic pots but the most coco you would use is a 30-45 gallon container but if you had full sun all day long for 15 hours you might always use the largest size possible because they dry out and that means people are using 100 gallon containers. They might need to be alternated with nutrients and fresh if they dry out to fast or the fertlizers could build up in the coco and that is one of the reasons growing organic is a little easier to water outdoors, I can't say its better mixing up nutrients but it is easier to know whats in the medium because when reusing soil you don't always know whats left in it, there might be enough nutrients in it from the year before to veg them but they might start showing deficiencies at some point and it does take 4 weeks for organic fertilizers to breakdown unless your using guanos but im sure as soon as they see a yellow leaf there top dressing organic fertilizers and watering them in but that does require hand watering unless the dripper can wet the entire top part of the medium effectively, I also think that peat isn't a renewable enough resource but it is used and that does mean that top soil that looks good is able to grow cannabis and hold water with manures but they are making it better for the plants with peat moss but it isn't the best idea from an environmental view. Were not sure when these Alien OG flower but It probably is a good idea to remove the male plant at some point because it does take 4-6 weeks for seeds to fully mature after pollination and though I could probably pollinate the Alien OG and make seed if they flower in August, it does need to be finished early October and its doubtful that the Rockstar could survive for 6 weeks after pollination. The wind travels in many directions but one male plant does contain hundreds of thousands of pollen grains. Id kind of like to make F2's of the Alien OG but that would mean that im not able to see how they perform flowered unpollinated because if it looks like a good plant that its worth keeping for awhile to grow again but that does mean that it takes 1 tray to keep it alive and another tray to keep another strain and then theres the additional energy expenditure to do that and that is sort of the reasoning to making seed. This does work for keeping a strain alive without it being to costly for a long period of time but you definitely would probably keep them smaller because these are really large plants to keep clones for and because its hot outside they needed to be watered frequently. Im pretty sure the F2 seed stock is a little more interesting to go through than using any of it.
