Still under 200W light, watered daily without nutes. temps are a bit high but can't really do anything with it atm. Plant on pic one shows slight deformities on the second pair of leaves.
2 of the plants show amazing growth and 2 look stunted in comparison, I wonder if it's the environment or genetics?
All plants have the same soil and had the same water.
Early in the week I topped the 2 healthy plants. Development seems fine so far on them, including 1 showing pistils already.
I'll give another week for the 2 weak plants to recover although I doubt they will. I'm still unsure what caused it, just to be sure I have not used any nutrients this week.
Edit: I think gnats caused those 2 plants to be stunted unfortunately, I suspect the soil I bought was infected with gnat eggs unfortunately... :(
Did some minimal defoliation on both plants and LST on the higher plant. I plan to continue this in the following 2 weeks.
One of the stunted specimens has shown recovery by the middle of this week, so I'll just leave those growing like that.
Happy to report that the girls started stretching and staging significantly. :)
Smell coming across nicely with a sweet/deep odour.
Gnat problem seems to have went away with sticky traps and small jumping spiders!
pre-flowers are starting to form on both plants, I cannot wait to see how they bloom.
The soil was mixed with mikorhizza fungi and organic cow manure pellets (so I don't plan to do much nutes outside of minimal amount of 5-5-5 generic fertilizer now and then).
Had a small accident this week, while I was tying down one of the top main branches... the main stem split in the middle downwards about 1cm (almost had a heart attack). And by that I guess I just achieved my first HST grow. :D
I didn't want to stress her too much so I did defoliation only on the other plant.
Otherwise the week was uneventful. 2 sick plants are still limping around and preflowers are visible on them too.
So far so good, everything seems to be ok this week, the smell got very strong. sensi's choco automatic seems to be a very fast plant, maybe the fastest to start flowering that I experienced.
Plant #1: flowering, filling buds nicely, she has been very thirsty, required daily watering in the past week (about 2l/day). Added some 5-5-7 nutes during all but 1 watering in the past 7 days.
Plant #2: flowering seems to lag about 1 week behind #1, has shorter pistils, but the plant is more bushy, has darker colour.
Plant #3: seems to have recovered, the gnat attack caused about 3 weeks of development loss. has long pistils like #1, has darker colour and some leaf deformities, but I think all that is due to the early stage gnat infection.
Plant #4: least developed among all, otherwise looks healthy and develops bud sites.
Done minimal defoliation on plant #2.
As you can see on the pictures, one plant seem to flower alright, and one has many flowers but they are smaller, failed to start swelling so far.What could cause this difference? The plants received the same soil/nutrients/light
Pistills are browning rapidly. found some milky thricomes. Maybe 1-2 weeks left to harvest most likely. Added only minimal bloom nutes this week.
I'll keep checking the thricomes every 2-3 days.
I did an early test cut and it blew my mind. The high/taste/overall effect is brilliant. Despite the early gnat problem it seems all 4 plants will produce some flower.
#1: this plant failed to develop as big flowers as the best specimen, still produced about 45g dry. potency/effect is superb.
#2: still ongoing, due to the early gnat stress I didn't even defoliate the plant, it's just 1 main cola, with seemingly ok development. I'll update the post when I get around to it (it's about 3 weeks off)
#3: Best plant of them all produced 70g dry flower. Could have waited more, but to be honest I was quite impatient and wanted a reference point with this strain.
#4: least developed, yet to start proper flowering.
I have 6 more of these seeds, so I'll do another run with this strain early next year with more lights and different nutes (also, early measures against gnats)
The weed itself is excellent, even without curing the smell/taste/high is brilliant. Highly recommended!
