Week 3 of flower update:
So far left plant is still looking great. Right plant is doing "okay" but remains not as healthy as the left plant. I'm focusing the lighting strength on the healthier plant and ignoring the light burn on the right plant. PPFD for left plant main colas is around 900. Right plant is like 1200 on the cola that is burnt. The difference between topping is really apparent at this time but since at one time I wasn't even sure if the right plant would make it, I'm okay with losing some final yield considering at one point there may have been zero yield from the plant. I'm wondering if cutting it off would help the plant divert the energy to the rest of the plant or would that be too much stress? I'm still thinking it was the soil being overly hot when I started which caused the plant to be stunted enough to where I wasn't sure if it would survive being topped. Next grow I'm gonna have to start in solo cups with "colder" soil. Regardless, I'm ecstatic at how the plants are doing.
I finally had some time to get in there and take some quick macro shots with my dslr. I'll try to take dslr camera shots every weekend and maybe update with cell phone pics throughout the week as I water, feed and take care of the plants. Shortly after I took these pics I did some pruning/defoliation/lollipopping to the left plant to quit wasting vital plant energy on low producer branches and leaves blocking bud sites.
Hoping for more smooth sailing for the remaining weeks before harvest!
@Trailblazer79, thank you. I've done a good job keeping the VPD in the optimal range for most of the grow so that has likely contributed to them looking so colorful. Despite making numerous rookie grower mistakes the buds are looking very quality - probably 90% due to the breeder selling great genetics haha. :)
Wow buddy!! super nice buds
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done 🤝
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
Cheers, Bud Boutique 👩🌾
@MrLahey,hi bro, definitely check you filter. At this early stage no smell should be coming out. Hope your girls develop nicely and you will have a great harvest 🍀✨🍀✌️💚
@PapaNugs, haha. Thank you! I’ve been in a perpetual state of excitement and amazement this whole grow lol. I can’t wait until the drying and curing is done! They smell sooooo good already!
And yeah I knew when I bought them that genetics are important. Now for my next few grows I just need to improve on all these rookie mistakes so I can start getting some bigger harvests and actually reach more than like 40% of their genetic potential like I did on this grow. 😎
Hallo Tolle Arbeit. So ein Tip. Nimm nenn Karton, mache ein paar löcher rein und trockne im Zelt erstmal die besten Buds. Dann können sich die anderen noch Entwickeln. Dann hast du das beste Ernteergebniss.
@A_Stoned_Llama, ty! I cut them last week and I'm on day 8 of drying right now. 60-62 degrees and 55-62 RH. Just waiting for another few - 8 days until they're fully dry before I update. Yield will be small but quality looks to be really on point!
@PapaNugs, thank you! Thanks to grow diaries, especially Humboldt Seed Co, reddit and youtube content creators it seems I've kept these beautiful plants alive to harvest despite all my rookie grower mistakes lol. I've been so happy with the plants so far. Can't wait to germinate these Hella Jelly seeds next. :)
