I need to get another thermometer for my greenhouse, I am having trouble in getting a clear reading, the shaded to lit area, I get 5 degree difference, I am currently just using sunlight as my light source and where my greenhouse is situated, my babies do not get enough direct light. However to combat this, I can always move my babies into direct sunlight, outside the greenhouse, which I do not like doing, but until I can save $140 dollars to buy solar lights and fans, have no choice but to continue with moving my babies outdoors during the day and in the greenhouse at night, the advantages of having those lights is I can lower my pots onto the floor unlike how they are mid air on shelves.
Otherwise I have no complaints when it comes to my Super skunk, she’s showing good health growth, though I am stressing her with some LST to stretch them, I need this for when I transplant her into her new and final pot, I prefer popping seeds in a small pot then transplanting into the biggest pot, this allows me to be able to bend and contort the plant into what shape I want it, like how bonsai growers do it.
Another Day another Dollar, a week later and I am starting to like being attentive when it comes to my babies, reminds me of the lock down days… dark times, but cultivation kept the days ticking and the mind clear.
This Lady over has truly made a leap from her miniature pot to a whole 20lt highly rich compost mix, posted a video showing my mixing skills… it is getting warmer as the days progress, I am nervously awaiting the first Thunder storms, my makeshift greenhouse will be put to the sword, would be a sad day if that sword prove mighty, this structure has saved my babies through cold fronts, negative temperatures, speaking of weather the picture of the thermometer and my catalogued weather don’t correspond due to, The thermometer is showing my greenhouse’s room temperature, and I am cataloguing atmospheric temperature and humidity, I will get better in logging other such as water ph, for now all I know is I use rain water, and when I water I use 250ml of water per 24hrs, each plant to keep soil moist, I will increase the volume as soon as the morning temperature are at double digits. I cannot be disappointed with how this grow is proceeding. When Summer Shines it burns.
Who created existence must of being a true visionary, creating something is one thing, but creating life that evolves on its on, enable it to procreate itself, believers say it’s God, other say Science, I just say it’s nature… our mother… the nurturer all ways creating when an opportunity arises.
A seed less than 5mm and weighed in microns, this plant makes you thing did the creator make design the seed then worked up to death, or he started in the middle balanced out the processes of growing and dying as he adjust each side in tandem. Wish I had the cheat code, I would harvest potent bud that knocks you out within 2 puffs. My Super Skunk please be better than your parent.
As much as I am enjoying growing like a bonsai master, I should bare in mind the aim is to get more yield than the lab tested yield. I wonder how growing is going to be when I start my 5th cycle. Specially if I don’t even get half the tested yield.
In case you wondering why do I have three different temperature readings, well, before getting a thermometer I used the general atmosphere weather reading from humidity to temperature, however from day one of getting a thermometer I noticed my greenhouse different temperature readings depending where you place it, from moderate to cold in the shaded areas and hot, warm, moderate in areas where sunny, I had to erect my greenhouse in a secluded(out of sight corner of the yard) spot. This being a reason I need some solar lights, and fans for internal air flow, as self cooling as this house is, I need a stronger flow of air to stress my ladies to strengthen vertical growth.I still document the outdoor temperature and I take pictures of the indoor(greenhouse’ internal temperature) temperatures, to show the how the greenhouse is amplifying the heat and depending on which part of the greenhouse(shaded or direct sunlight), believe it or not the thermometers differ in reading even at night. The red mercury thermometer reading indicate temperatures in which my ladies are tanning in.
Super Skunk I have a feeling she will be my biggest plant amongst the sextet I was wrong when I said Monday’s Blue would be the biggest… however I might be wrong again, all I need to do is remain consistent with watering, and I need to bite the bullet and buy a fan by the end of this month, the sunlight iSight not be direct on the plants however conditions keep these ladies healthy, nothing a solar flood would not fix, I will just need to get an yellow, orange, and red gels to cloak the light during flowering, yet my other problem is they will not flower at the same time, which I will fix in my next cycle, I’ll just get those gels for future grows, and I should not forget a blue gel for veg stag.
I would be lying if I knew how far her flower phase come, this couple weeks been absence only gave me results, and left me with a catalogue nightmare, but thank goodness my previous posts are dated, so it gives a rough idea, but genes differ within strains, some strain grow vigorously at certain stages, and I think this baby hit her phase. She will be my best tree when it comes bud quantity, when it comes to potency, I will have settle with what I encounter and except the outcome.
Unlike the other time… this time I will be around to monitor the growth and be able the LST some brunches to better expose the new growth to the light(the sun, maybe in my 6th cycle I will install fans and lights), however let me worry about getting this current cycle to harvest. I am glad to see after a heavy session of defoliation she did not take time from recover from shock, now she’s going to just focus on flowering. She’s my biggest plant during this cycle, I wonder if she’s going to bless me with juices strawberries size buds. So much excitement lays ahead, must not mess up a good thing.
The one is going to give me nightmares when her buds fatten up, need to start thinking of a way to support these brunches or will they thicken up, to be able to support her own weight. I love her growth, very Christmas tree in shape, not what I like, but the price I paid for been gone for a month and some change. But the bright side, a big tree guarantees sizeable buds, but I still say it, I need a fan and lights so I have better outcomes than hat I am getting now, with time those will be achieved.
Why does she(Unknown Strain SA Plug Edition) not learn from her sisters al she needed was one time in September on my return, and she has worried herself with bud development, there is new growth but it is minute, you pickup on bud development more than actual plant growth. She worries though she excites the imagination, the problem I now face with having big buds if she does produce such, I need to find a way to support the extra load, which have the potential in breaking a whole brunch of a tree, this is the part where strong air flow is necessary. She must continue with her budding focus, her aroma is getting more defined, I am no expert when it comes to deducing notes in scent, so I will leave that to the smoke to explain it, I am going to have a questionnaire for 10smokers to get feedback, if you think you can grow dope weed, give stoners free weed to smoke and rate.
Ladies and Gentle stoners I present to you, my best tree, when it comes to presentation, when it comes to bud size, plant size and scent, she was my tallest but she slow down when she started flowering, now that she is showing signs of reveg, I thing she wants to add more flavour and hopefully potency. Though she has skinny brunches surprisingly the can support the weight of the bud, though I suspect it is due to, her been in a green house, so the airflow is plant friendly 24/7 unlike outdoor, the wind is unpredictable would of made life impossible for her in her current state, but if she was an outdoor girl she would of had thicker bulkier brunches.
Since the remain plants have revegged, I will be pampering them with nutrients how 125ml once a week, I’ll be harvesting this baby in January or end of January. Loving the bud sizes… all I need is for them firm up and finish this reveg phase, I do not mind her adding more development on the existing.
