This Solfire Gardens- Miami Mami have been a rollercoaster ride for even this old head! I had some deficiencies and other mutations throughout the grow with the end result being the plants you see that have started fading and are almost jet black with yellow outline! That’s the positive is that I got 2 out of a pack to harvest and they frosted up well and then I am about to chop them if the Tri’s tell me to. But I wouldn’t run the Solfire breeders seeds unless I was able to throw 10-20 seeds at a time and find the pheno of no mutation and no deficiencies! I had it show a far along Potassium deficiency in a few days that showed no warning of any kind that should have been the splotchy leaves ! The other plant because we have only 3 now, THE SOLFIRE 3rd plant hermied and was quickly chopped out away from the home!.. So we have 2 Miami Mami’s from the Solfire Breeder! I really wish they read this and tried to make good on this. But the other plant came from a seed I got as a freebie because I am a Veteran. Well the Alien Genetics- “red” AOC,(Alien Orange Congolese), turned into a plant stacked from top down at least 6+ inches and was all pistols and they all like dreadlocked up and then now she is putting a lot of bud up the inside of those pistols hiding everything!!! 😂… look at the one all hairy still! That plant I thought was trash is absolutely a dream to grow! Took up to 1500+ ppm of feed and kept growing!! She may take longer but she is going to weigh a good bit! I have to scope the tri’s on the other two and see how the Amber has invaded? If it’s over 25% I will have to cut to keep THC, Degradation from happening , I would love to let them keep growing in size but she will tell me when it’s time or just past time and I will chop 2 and hang them in the new VivoSun, Smart tent coming for these drying times and to veg with the 2 200W winged lights and a controller that controls the lights and fans in the center of the light so it will not get as hot as my HPS that needs an ac in December!!! But that smart tent will have control over the ventilation fans, the fans on the lights and the dimmers of the lights themselves and can follow the VPD! 👍 we will see in application if she runs as cool as she is advertised? That’s the whole kit, 4x4x80” and then the 2 independent 200W winged lights for the direction of intense light, you can aim the lights out further away to reach a branch growing up the wall or or inwards to make a higher PPFD/ Umol of light. Just aim the wings in to put extra light, with the controller being useable from my phone I will appreciate that feature! The quiet fan,(34db), and a nice Carbon filter. With the oscillating fan I added and the trellis I can see some upcoming harvests being much more manicured and I can work in the net to make shoots grow!! I am on the lookout for any strain suggestions for this application. Growing with a trellis, so I am looking for those plants that every end of branches are these big ol donkey appendages??? You know what I mean. Those long and thick buds that stack up top of the bud!
I just have only cloned a hand full of times and would wait to the end of Veg and then 1st week of flowering take it in that time slot. But I think it’s too far along?
Okay, This week was about getting the feed up and getting the ready to get to transplant the 4 winners into buckets for flower. In my State I can grow 4. DEA and state say any clones or Veg plants are not regulated because of their < 0.03% thca/ THC. So I went for the winners in my book and will either veg these for next run or give them to buddies! Point, you can grow the vegetative plants and sell them if your State agrees because of the DEA / FEDS saying on record it is hemp! Any Vegetative plants or cuttings / seedlings or seeds are seen and categorized as hemp!
8 Beans of Solefire-Miami Mami and then 3 Alien Genetix-“red” Agent Orange Congolese. After picking the winners which was hard because almost every Solfire had a mutation in the leaves, bad. But I picked the best 3 of Miami Mami’s and then I grabbed the best AOC and it was a good looking plant that’s been a pleasure to grow and is stacking up to make some serious weight if it produces! The frost started 2nd week of Flower on MM with tiny nugs. But the AOC didn’t frost at all till wK5-6. And is a slower flowering plant! I am thinking 11-12 weeks very likely and the Solfire- Miami Mami’s about 10 weeks because it’s start week 7 and if I planned to flush next week I would have changed the feed! More sugar for a boost with a good bit of P! & K… I was actually happy to throw out the Solfire- Miami Mami’s because they have definitely made it into my hardest to grow top 10!! This strain, By a Big ñame,(Solfire Gardens), had had major mutations in the leaves while growing up and still has mutations on leaves but much less, it went what seemed from healthy as a horse to the presentation of what looked like LATE Stage K DEFICIENCY, but I changed diet, gave it less intense light and I got it less but it would never go even with RAW -K I added to that plant??? Then a second one of the same strain had the same just less presentation and I knew that it was abnormal and it’s Run-Off is good so she’s eating… I found out by giving Cal-Mag and a High N content it can make the roots not uptake K! So I switched all that and the 2nd one that showed that is all healthy again from the same feed and all. That 1st one hermaphrodited after it got a little closer to the light but not enough to herm it? I spoke w my Guru and some ppl, they agree I could have caused it but the feed was all on point etc so I was told and I believe it is more likely that it would have done that anyway! It was messed up genes?
Tossed the ones I left in solo cups and they just were ready to flower but I couldn’t find room so I didn’t invest into that by feeding the bad plants for tiny little flowers on 1 plant because I had 1 Hermaphrodite!
