starting to see some crowning. nice stretching going on. very happy with how it's all going (except for the wyze camera timelapse, which still stops working halfway through the week)
I do have some weird stuff going on with one plant, I'll post some pictures, if anyone has any advice. the only thing I can really find online that looks like this is tobacco mosaic disease, but I don't think it's that. maybe this one plant had a little extra stress or something. I have some of that mosaic looking pattern. it's showing up mostly on one plant, and like two leaves on one other plant. maybe calmag defiency? i guess it can kind of look like that, and my RO system was down for a week or two so I had to use tap water, and to keep EC consistent that meant less nutes for a week or two (that was taken up by the tap water EC of like 150).
anyway, super excited. wish i had more to do, but it's pretty much just riding it out at this point. was crazy busy with work this week, i wanted to have got in a good defoliation already but I will get to that this weekend. going to remove everything below a certain point, all the lower leaves and the lower nodes that aren't going to make it to the top. probably going to put a trellis net up as i don't think they are going to be able to support their own weight once they start to really stack. i may do one or two final foliar sprays, all organic stuff, but one last IPM and maybe one amino acid / coconut water / aloe / bloom boost after the defoliation, just to help them bounce back quickly as i'm going to be removing a lot of biomass. all that is organic and there are barely flowers on so i'm not worried about it.
getting such a strong lemon scent off these already, skunk is starting to come in. can't wait to get some real flowers on them and for the terps to develop.
i'm not going to judge yet, but i think if i was to run these again i wouldn't do quadline. quadline was super interesting to me when I first started growing, but after having a bunch of grows under my belt, really i think my preference is to mostly let them grow natural, maybe supercropping the main cola, but my favorite grows have been the ones i did the least amount of hard training on. not sure why i decided to quadline this run, but i'm happy with the even canopy so it's all good
I've had plants with pigment mutations and this kinda looks like it. But this also looks like a slight mag deficiency. I recommend some Epsom foliar sprays once a week just to see if it truly is a mutation.
Fine job. They look like they're going to be the very definition of green fire. Oh, and like others have mentioned, I've had quite a few plants express that crazy swirl-like leaf mutation. The first time I saw it I freaked out thinking it was TMV. But it turned out to be just a harmless mutation that eventually worked itself out entirely as the plant grew. Anyway, looks like a hell of a plant. Enjoy it! 💪👍✊
@Squuncke, thanks man! I’m very happy with how they are coming along. I went in this morning for my normal walk through, some smells and inspections, then washed my hands twice, took a shower, and it still smells like I’m holding a bud in my hand. She sticks with ya! Such a unique gassy lemony skunky funk. Can’t wait to see how she cures up and tastes!
