6/1 - scuffed the seeds and dropped them in water
6/3 - about 36 hours later, seeing tails, potted in Fox Farm Happy Frog in solo cups and watered just enough to start dripping out the bottom.
6/5 - they broke the surface this evening!
6/6 - labeled the cups so they don't get lost in the mix
6/9 - the one with the red tag had the tap root coming out of the bottom of the cup, so they both got transplanted. Watered them in with pH adjusted water and Recharge. About a quart each.
6/13 - fed and watered them, gave each about a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutes
6/30 - the blue labeled plant is nearly twice the height of the red labeled plant. Upon closer inspection, it appears to me that the blue is a boy and the red is a girl (completely unintentional, I didn't mean to guess their sex 🤣).
7/3 - topped the female and removed the bottom 2 nodes, leaving 4 nodes to train. Cut the bottom nodes off the male and will let him grow upwards. Gave each of them about a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients.
7/6 - feeling dry, flushed the soil to allow them to use up excess nutes, took off all of the big fan leaves to open them up and started training the lady
7/13 - watered and fed, gave them each a half gallon mixed at half strength nutrients, but full strength CalMag and Recharge, pH adjusted of course. The male is 22 inches tall, the female is 8 inches tall.
7/16 - watered the male, gave him about a half gallon of pH adjusted water with Recharge
7/18 - chopped the male and put the flowers in water over top of parchment paper to try and collect some pollen. They're under cover in the storage bin that I used as a diy cloner.
7/19 - took the top 2 branches off the female for clones. Dipped them in Foop cloning gel and put them directly in soil and watered in with pH adjusted water. These will be used in a side by side experiment and will likely get their own diary.
7/20 - defoliated and watered with pH adjusted water with Recharge
7/22 - defoliated and watered with pH adjusted water with nutrients, removed some lower secondary branches that were growing from under the main branch
7/23 - the close look sad, sprayed them with water and covered with soup cups. The chop stick holds the cup above the clone to not crush it, so simple!
7/25 - top dressed the mother with worm castings and gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
7/26 - raised the lights a couple inches to accommodate her stretching. Meanwhile, the clones are looking happy and one has a little worm in with her
7/29 - gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
8/1 - she grew a bit so I raised the lights. I gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients.
8/5 - the bottom of the pot felt dry, so I fed her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients.
8/6 - shook the dead male cuttings into a paper bag and collected whatever fell off. Then sprinkled that over half of the female plant. if any of the pollen is viable, I should get seeds. Worst case, I don't get any seeds. She's clearly a few weeks into flower and I have not changed the light schedule.
8/9 - fed her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
8/11 - defoliated and lollypopped her quite a bit, really thinned her out. Then I fed her with a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients to lessen shock.
8/16 - gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients.
8/26 - defoliated her just a bit and gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
8/29 - fed her with a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
9/3 - fed and watered her, gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
9/5 - raised the lights as high as I could for the other plant, then put this lady on a stand to even them out
9/6 - fed and watered her, gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
9/7 - fed and watered, gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
9/9 - the light was still too intense, swapped it out with a smaller light, the PPFD and DLI are still high, but better, also fed and watered her with a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
9/13 - fed and watered, gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
9/14 - her flowers as stacking up tightly and she's starting to fill the air with her scent. It reminds me of the Cookies XXL that I grew, very sweet, cake/cookie scent, with a hit of lemon starting to come through now.
9/18 - looking like she might be getting some nutrient burn, so I flushed her with a half gallon of pH adjusted water with HYCLEAN and Recharge
9/20 - fed and watered, gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with nutrients
9/28 - flushed with a half gallon of pH adjusted water with HYCLEAN. And I removed some leaves. I am expecting her to be ready to harvest around Halloween. Defoliated quite a bit more this evening and pulled the branches out to open up the middle.
10/01 - upgraded the light, PPFD and DLI are more consistent across the canopy, flushed her with a half gallon of pH adjusted water with HYCLEAN
10/05 - flushed her with a half gallon of pH adjusted water with HYCLEAN. Changed light cycle to 12/12.
10/09 - flushed her with a half gallon of pH adjusted water with HYCLEAN
10/14 - flushed her again, gave her a half gallon of pH adjusted water with HYCLEAN. As I was watering I rotated the pot and noticed this webbing. I looked close with a jewelers loupe and didn't see any bugs nor any spots on the leaves. I cut of the top in question and dissected it. The mold was very minimal, so I think I caught it early. The outside temps have been getting into to 40s at night and that's been causing my tent temps to drop and RH to spike. I've added a heater and more fans, but will harvest this plant anyway.
I really wanted to wait two more weeks to harvest her, but she got a spot of bud rot. Rather than take any chances, I chopped her, washed the buds, and hung her up to dry. The trichomes are mostly cloudy with a few amber.
This was part of a light experiment for me. I wanted to see what a plant would do under short veg days and long flower days. I set the light for 13 hours and 40 minutes from seed. She started flowering on her own around 10 weeks, which is perfect. She continued to flower and swell up, but I think the long days were holding her back from finishing. I would do it again, except I would flip to a shorter flower time once she stops stretching.
