It’s a hard plant to photograph because it’s so short, iv added the ts-1000 just above the diesel plant - I still can’t see any trichomes on her! So odd…it might just be that she is too far away, not far enough into flower OR she is just kind of a messed up pheno! Either way, it’s the exact same age as the Tropicanna Poison (which is like 4x as big!). I get that the tropicanna is a hybrid and the NYC Diesel is way more indica but still, it’s more about the frost - or trich’s.
Odd…
Iv moved the light too close to the NYC diesel to see what effect it has. Tbf, it’s only at like half mast (or half power so 75w) but electricity is so dam expensive atm and I’m on a top-up meter, so it’s like I’m on a timer my whole life. It’s horrible at the same time as buying up to 80g of medical cannabis at the same time as electricity is killing me!
I don’t think I’ll be able to match the medbud top THC %’s in my grow room - it just doesn’t seem feasible but I know for sure the taste will be better - I’m therefore better off growing tasty strains, like fruity strains that you don’t really get the same taste of for the med side - although having said that the Aurora Delahaze is really tasty and 21% - it’s this type of bud I’m trying to replace really. If it happens that next grow is really strong as well, it’s an added bonus tbh but I’m expecting to be able to grow the cannabis I use in the daytime and buy the strong stuff for night. Once I buy another fc-e3000 and run it on 60-70% at maximum flowering time, it’ll be fine and I’ll be able to get the most out of the phenotypical expression - I’ve, it also means the more you grow, the less concerned I am about leaving it an extra week to mature seeing as I have flower.
I still need a quieter internal fan as well - I will buy one but as I say, I need to get to the point I’m not spending all my money on medical cannabis but I do need to make sure I still buy some so that if I AM raided (touch wood), I at least have a leg to stand on. It’s too expensive considering you can grow better quality or at least tastier stuff, than you can buy but if you go to court in front of a jury and also have a prescription for it then I think they are less likely to convict you. It’s about compassion…but you have to PROOVE IT, which you shouldn’t have to.
Edit 2 days later: I decided to raise the 150w light right up (lower than the one that’s zip tied to the frame but still, it creates no shadows!) Therefore the plant gets the strength of both lights. It’s on just over half power so an additional 100w approximately, which means 400w in total.
I realised today that she has been improving in terms of colour for weeks and weeks and she is finally happy! She was crying out for P and K! In fact, they all are tbf - it’s just annoying that some weren't sexually mature when I flipped and so some started flowering and some took a few weeks to start showing pistols. I am a little worried that it really doesn’t look like she is showing any trich’s at all! It’s really weird!
I shall zoom in in a sec. Oh well…we’ll see won’t we! It may be some genetic abnormality - or it may just of needed the nutrition in order to carry out the processes that are needed to enable trichome production so maybe now iv got her dialed in now.
@Rabidreject, hey man, i don’t know why but I have only just me notified of this message. Hope you are keeping well dude. She looks beautiful. How come your having to hide everything?
@Green_Man_420, thanks bro - I find diesel to be really good medically so should be interesting….the question is - which out of all the strains that I have going, do I put in the Autopot XL? I’m thinking the MAC tbh - either that or the red sweet seeds one tropicanna poison. I’ll decide that closer the time though. I want to put the flowering auto in there that’s in the small cupboard but I’m thinking how am I going to feed that with one res while the others re hooked up to a second one, or I suppose I could just carry on hand watering for now….or switch them so the vegging ones are in the small tent and i could switch the expensive to run, inline extraction fan, to a fan similar to the intake USB powered and just takes up way less energy.
How did I start making a comment congratulating you and end up talking bout nothing but me? Selfish, clearly!
