Trimmed up some of the undergrowth that was touching the coco, getting no light, and larf. LST all branches. The mini plant was sprouted when the other 2 were. Not sure what happened with that one. I do think growth would better but I made some mistakes the first couple of weeks with my pH and PPM, and using horrible city water(close to 800ppm by itself.). I switched to using RO water around week 2 or a bit before.
Watering twice per day for the past week and a half and going to continue doing so. My thoughts on why they are short is maybe with LST once that top is pulled over more plant energy is used to develop the other branches than in vertical growth, or the strain is midget durban poison, or perhaps my mistakes in the early vegetative growth caused it. Either way I am happy they seem to be thriving and will definitely try these seeds again in the future. My next grow will be Jack Herer from FastBuds.
Day 39 - Flowers spotted!
Nice plant! I can relate with the auto/photo confusion. Same thing happened to me, I ordered some autos for my first ever grow... and they weren't autos. They were growing for about 4 months (4 months of "oo! Maybe it's starting to flower now") until I finally decided to flip the lights. If it happened now, I'd know exactly what was happening, but for the first grow? I though the same as you. At least you got an absolute BANGER of a plant out of it though. Looks fkin awesome!
@Stelfboy, Thanks man. Now if something like that happens in the future we know what to do! I've been growing Fastbud seeds lately and really like what I've seen. Growing does not feel like work and is really enjoyable. My grow area is my place of zen.
@Libanese, That was my lack of experience. I thought since I started seeing the lady parts showing on the stems that was the sign of flowering starting. Adding to the confusion these were sold as 'Autoflowers' which they were not.
@XLABX, Yeah they are insanely tall. At this point I'm just hoping the one in the back does not grow any taller since the light is nearly maxed out in height.
Beautiful jungle! ๐ Sad to hear flowering didn't trigger on these genetics yet.
How did they respond to the 12 hour light switch? Maybe 24 hours darkness needed to force?
@XLABX, 12 hour has been going on for about a week. From what I've read it takes around 3 or 4 weeks or so to see the flowers. I will keep my journal updated but nothing special seems to be happening at the moment.
Breadcrumbs, duct tape, Cheezits, bungie zip, flex tube, box with more duct tape.... Now I'm hooked! Let me grab some ๐ฟ
Beautiful turnaround with these ladies, I love what I am seeing ๐
