Acapulco Gold

BostonGirlGrows After 11 days the first seed never popped. So I soaked another- and they both sprouted on the same day- the older of the two looks a bit healthier- but it’s also day one above soil- so it’s all just really a guess at this point.

BostonGirlGrows 2 babies chugging along. They made the move this week from their solo cups to a larger 1 gallon pot. I’ve yet to introduce nutrients, but believe I will later this week. I’ve got them raised off the ground a bit- closer to the light, and hopefully further from the cold cement flood under the tent.

BostonGirlGrows I like to keep them in the smaller one gallon pots for a bit longer- but all the roots were shooting out and I didn’t want my poor babies to suffer. So big pots it is. Now I can fine tune the environment over the next 4 weeks, and get them nice and healthy for the flip 🌱

BostonGirlGrows Two girls looking good. I think they will be big enough to get topped this week. They are the last strain in my mixed photo tent to receive it. I’ve upped the feeding and they seem to be doing ok with it.

BostonGirlGrows These two little ladies are the last stain left in the tent to receive their topping. Planning on flipping in two weeks- so I’m just going to focus on feeding and getting them as healthy as possible. I’ll be beyond stoked if I’m able to get bends in before then.

BostonGirlGrows With a week left to flip- I noticed today I could get a few bends in her- so 4 bends each in both plants. I didn’t think they’d get there. But happy to get them in with a little cushion before stretch.

BostonGirlGrows Final update before flip! Sunday I’ll re-program my light timer- then Monday 4/01 will be flower day 1. Easy way to keep track. They’re happy, I’m happy- they are just the right size to be flipped now- they’ll still be small compared to the other girls in this round, but there’s two of’em. Took them out, measured them, tucked some leaves and then got them right back into the warm tent. Followed with a feeding, upped 1ml from last week.

BostonGirlGrows Today is day 8 of flower. Delayed update so it now lines up weekly. Dialed nutrients up another ml per gallon- now all 5 strains in my tent are all running the same schedule. Sure helps speed up mixing. I’m really hopeful for a bit more stretch this upcoming week-but happy to have added an inch to each plant.

BostonGirlGrows Plants still remain very similar in size, with one plant coming in at 10 inches, and the second plant at 10.5. I’m still considering moving one of these to another tent- but I was really hoping to not need to run additional equipment.

BostonGirlGrows These girls are just creeping. They added about an inch and a half each. And I finally decided that one plant should be relocated- and since this is the only strain that I currently have two plants going of.

BostonGirlGrows These girls are getting a slow start. Only added another inch this week each. Since we’ve passed week 4 of flower I began to introduce some Plagron Green Sensation, 4 ml per gallon and backing off my nutrients to keep my ppm in a similar range. I haven’t been keep track of ppms at any point before this- but that was the directive with this additive.

BostonGirlGrows The twins are exactly that. Both 14 inches. Both have about 14 tops. They are the slowest plant to pop pistols- and will most likely be the plants that live the longest in this cycle.

BostonGirlGrows Another week down. I have increased her nutrients by 1ml/pg. she’s is starting to pull from her lowers and I’m getting some yellowing. The two plants are continuing to mirror each other in growth.

BostonGirlGrows Both of these girls are really starting to stack it on. They were late to the party- but they are surely making up for it now. I’m going to have to be extra careful this week With humidity.

BostonGirlGrows The girls are rocking it and I couldn’t be happier. They seem to be a bit behind the rest of the crowd in terms of flower. It’s fine. I just assume they will be the last strain to be hung to dry 🤷‍♀️

BostonGirlGrows Today’s day 65! We are getting close. Took them both out of the tent today to do a little clean up on those pesky limp yellow leaves you start seeing as the plant transitions into it’s final form. No sign of male flowers, mildew or rot, or anything else to be concerned about. They continue to look identical, and I’d assume they’ll be finished in about two weeks time.

BostonGirlGrows I’m going to give these girls a few more days then begin giving them ph’ed water for their final few feedings. They are doing great- but just weren’t ready to get the chop today. I can give them another 7-10 days

BostonGirlGrows All fan leaves removed and they have been hung to dry. Will update with weight once stems have been removed.
