This week I set up a new Nursery tent. Im using a 24in×24in×36in Mars Hydro, with 2 Viparspectra 100w LED boards, I'm running them both at around 50% power. I got another light so now both the plants have an even light coverage for Veg. I dropped one of the lights setting up the tent on accident, which took a node and a couple leaves off of the #1 pheno! Definitely a major mistake! But I think the plant will snap back.
Update: Both of these ladies were getting a little droopy, so I made up the recipe I've been using to perk my plants.
1/4 Teaspoon/ Gallon of BioAg TM-7 (Top Dressed in Soil)
1/4 Teaspoon/ Gallon of Diamond K Gypsum (Top Dressed in Soil)
3/4 Teaspoon/1/2 Gallon of Xtreme Gardening Mykos WP (Mixed with Water)
Fish Sh!t 3ml/ 1/2 Gallon (Mixed with Water)
Grandma's Unsulphured Molasses 1/4 Teaspoon/ 1/2 gallon (Mixed with Water)
This helped a ton and returned the leaves upright! The Fish Sh!t and Mykos are beneficial bacterias which help the plant uptake nutrients, the Fish Sh!t and TM-7 are soil conditioners which also help with nutrient uptake and soil water retention. The Gypsum is for Calcium, TM-7 pairs with this with humic acids and other micronutrients like boron and sulfur. The Molasses feeds the Michorizae! When I cut clones off of these cultivars, I will for sure be amending extra Gypsum and DTE 4-4-4 Vegetable Garden or 4-3-0 Crab Meal into the Build A Soil Lite. These ladies really need the extra food!
@THCpapa, both of these smell just fantastic! Key differences but that same raspberry smack. I didn't even realize what raspberry terps would really smell like until I smelled this. It's so undeniably raspberry. Not strawberry, not grape, not runtz. Raspberry. It's very unique!
Good luck with your grow! I popped 3 of 6 Ice Pie x Raspberry Boogie and all 3 hermaphrodited. Apparently its known to happen with Tiki Madman......keep an eye out
@Happy_Roots, thank you for commenting! I will definitely be keeping an eye out! I had figured with Raspberry Boogie being a Mosca Staple and how long he has worked with it, the crosses would be really stable. That wouldn't be ideal at all 😬
Looking good early flowering, I personally like pheno 1 visually. But hope they are both great results after harvest! Hope you continue with more blessings!!
@BigDripFelgo, the #1 Pheno definitely looks more like the pictures you see online of raspberry boogie, or anything in this colab! I'm loving it just for the bag appeal! Purple to the core! Thanks for checking out my grow!
@THCpapa, it was crazy to see so much diversity in these 2 phenos! A lot of the phenos I've seen online that look like winners, of these Raspberry Boogie colabs with Tiki Madman have shown that same "purple half leaf" feature. So my fingers are definitely crossed!
Thank you! I plan on flipping as soon as my flower room is free and they adjust to the environment in there! I'll clean in there really good! Then they'll get adjusted, get into their 5 gallon pots and under my flower light! Should be about 3-4 weeks!
@gottagrowsometime, thank you so much! I can't take credit for the Sourheads, a great friend of mine actually hunted that cut and was nice enough to let me run some clones to test my new set up!
@Grower_Of_Persia, it ended up curing out really nice! I do feel like I harvested just about a week early. I used a jewelers loupe to scope my trichomes out last time. Since then my buddy got this 45X microscope with a screen. I definitely noticed more clear trichomes than I could make out originally with that. So I'm thinking I'll do this next run with the Ripples a little longer! As for flavor. The purple number one pheno is so unique it's like gassy, old school purple where it's like earthy fruit. It's so hard to describe. It's definitely its own flavor, it's not runtzy or hazy or anything super familiar. The number 2 is kind of mimosa, hazy, smells kind of like fruit peels honestly!
@BigDripFelgo, I didn't dedicate a diary to the Sourheads! I got them from clones, the original genetics are called Nughead from mean gene I think! Edit: Nugheads is by skunktek not meangene
