Well she has not automatically entered flower yet and we ran out of vertical space in her veg tent so her topmost leaf tips started to yellow/bleach from the light. We were expecting a 25% chance of getting auto from this S1 so photoperiod she must be. There’s not even those pre-flower pistils or balls for easy sexing so I had to get macro shots of her nodes to confirm that she’s a she.
Height was 15” before crimping her branches to make her an even 12” height like her new neighbours in the 3x3. Lights switched to 12-12, humidity is lower in here but temps are the same. Also getting the same feed as per recommended schedule, nitrogen starts getting reduced from week 3 of flower. She’s drinking more though, to get adequate runoff I’m giving her 1.5L per day, probably due to lower humidity as well as growth rate. Watered once daily. I should probably split watering into 2 feeds put runoff is still in good range at this point.
Run off is approx 1100 ppm 6.3pH.
I’m going to have to take a few clones of her since she doesn’t seem to have enough auto in her to flower without light manipulation. There’s still a chance she could be ‘fast-flowering’ variant though which would also be cool. And I like the idea of preserving her anyway until we know how she produces. So 2 cuts rooting now and in 3 weeks we will save the best cut for a temporary mother and toss the spare. I let her mom get overripe on purpose to force a few seeds but now I need to be carefully monitoring her and be ready to cull if she shows any herm traits.
She’s been under 12-12 light since Feb 28, pictures taken Mar 2. Bud sites are lightening, flowering should commence soon!
