Embarking on another exciting journey with Hella Jelly – JELLY RANCHER strain by Humboldt Seed Company, we have imporved our cultivation conditions to optimize results for these keeper phenotypes.
In this run, we are growing Pheno #5, #8, #7, and #1. Currently, we are five weeks into the vegetative stage, and our plants are thriving.Previously, they were somewhat root-bound due to their prior location, but we have transplanted them into 10L pots.
All our plants have undergone meticulous topping and training, and we are now leaving them to flourish. We have a scrog the net which is being installed in the next few days, and we will feed the new growth through the scrog untill the screen is filled.
Speaking of lighting, our setup currently features a 450W full-spectrum quantum board, operating at maximum capacity and strategically positioned to maintain favorable temperatures. Notably, we've introduced UV bulbs into the equation (2 x 26W UVB bulbs). Initially, we'll expose the plants to 30 minutes of UV light twice daily, gradually extending the duration to 4-6 hours daily as we enter the flowering phase.
For the flowering stage, we'll make the switch from the 450W Quantomn board to the Spyder 2p 650W.
In preparation for the plants daily fertigation needs, we've installed a drip-feed system, which will come into play as soon as the plants begin to show signs of drying up daily.
Our target date for inaiting the flowering stage is set for the 1st of October. We are genuinely optimistic about the outcome of this run, so please stay tuned for regular updates!
