Day 12 since flip. Not too much to report, we’re going thru the early flower stretch. Plants are enjoying the environment and are perked up. During this time we slowly ramp the lights up about 1-2% each day until we get to about 80%, that’s usually the max I can run this light in a 4x4. Slowly ramping up the light can avoid the stress caused by blasting your plants all at once. I’ve seen too many stress herms in early flower caused by too intense light. We will also begin to lower humidity by about 3% each week to increase VPD as the plants begin a higher rate of transpiration. We will also do a final clean up of the lower skirts again probably around day 21 (after they have finished their stretch) to ensure energy is directed towards top colas, and to ensure no funny business (herms) are going on underneath which is always a possibility with feminized seeds
VPD: 1.22
🌡️: 78 Fahrenheit
💦: 60%
💡: 55% @ 20 inches (550 Ppfd)
Just plain tap water until medium is saturated. Currently each lady gets about one gallon of water every 4 days.
Yooo I’m jealous of your permanent marker hahaha !!!! I have to run it and trying to get some seeds but hard where I am !! Happy germinating bro and have a good run !!!
@smokingskills, nah i defoliated all the fan leaves on the main stem so all the lower flower sights have direct access to light and i just keep topping until the lower flower sights are fairly even in height with the top, then trellis net to open them up a bit more in last week of veg/first weeks of flower.
@PersonalSmok3s, thanks growmie, i appreciate you following along...changed my mind at the last minute and popped GastroPop from Compound instead of the Z Animal so we'll have some more Compound coming along asap!
These are all looking cramped, but healthy lol 😸
I’d be interested to see your ‘Stay Puft’ pheno’s once they’re finished, I’m running some Exotic2 by Compound Genetics and I’m eager to get hold of some of their other strains
@PersonalSmok3s, i usually only grow compound. Apples N Bananas, Pave, and The Menthol vol. 1 & 2 lines are all fire. I would stay away from the Gastropop line. I, along with other growers had trouble with those crosses (germ issues, weird mutations etc.). Havent heard much about La Bomba line, although I do have 1 La Neta (Gary Payton x La Bomba) right next to the Stay Puft's and it smells like an electric citrus starburst, absolutely unreal.
If you like Compound gear, I suggest checking out Wyeast Farms. He was the original breeder for compound genetics and a lot of the stuff they put out is based on his work.
By day 19 of flip i already have bulby pistil topped bud formations. It's revealed in 1 of my diaries how i achieve that, or you can DM me and i'll share with you what i do to achieve that.
Really unfortunate she hermed 😿
From experience, if she’s as aromatic as you’ve described, it’ll definitely carry through to the fresh frozen!!
The Rosin I’ve made from my Exotic2 is legit like straight up strawberry syrup, it’s unreal.
