Lemmosa

Two days into week 1. All of the seeds sprouted except for one. What I've got left is six plants in five pots. Two of which are 5- gallon, the other three are 3- gallon. All five are fabric pots. They get watered twice a day using a spray bottle.

They are coming along nicely! Notice the different sizes. This is because the two that are taller were germinated first.They are ahead by about 5 days.

These Lemmosa babies are doing great! I love the way this strain grows. It grows fast and strong. The leaves were showing signs of sunburn, and a little yellowing in the leaves. I lowered the lights back down to 2 and raised the light to about 30 inches away from the tops. As for the yellowing... I went and checked the PH and all the pots are reading 7.4. I might have to adjust the PH down a bit. I'll be watching them closely.

This week the plants went through a lot of training. First, at the beginning of the week, the humidifier was taken out, the light was set to 4, and I applied worm castings to reduce the Ph level. Then two older plants got topped, and applied LST on the main branches. I rolled the main branches between my fingers to soften the branches until they are limp. Then tied down the tallest branch. Then, the rest of the plants got topped. By the end of the week, ALL of the plants were topped at the fifth node and trimmed under growth, up to the third node. This prepares them for top bud production and sets the plants into healing mode. Which will increase yield and terpene production. Note: the baby Lemmosa plants are very healthy and vibrant and young enough to withstand the HST!

Last day of the fifth week, and these plants are getting an LST treatment on the main stem, under the split. The Ph is looking better, but there are some leaves that are malformed. Probably got too dry?

These girls are growing fast! They grew 8 inches this week, and the light got turned up to 6. While applying LST, I broke the two top branches of one of the smaller plants. I fixed it with masking tape.

At the start of the week these Lemmosas got their first nutes. GONZO FARMS - GROW (as Organic as possible!) was applied as a nutrient tea, slowly poured at the base of the plant. Then, a couple days later, the light was turned up to 6, AND they got bent and tied down. By the end of WEEK 7 they got trimmed and rearranged. They are looking great as they get ready for the flowering stage in a couple of weeks. 👽

These plants are doing quite well. Almost ready to flower. They all got fed GROW.

I raised the light above the canopy a few inches, and turned up the intensity to 7.

Not much happened this week, but they are stretching. 😄

This is the last week of the Vegetation stage. At the beginning of the week they were trimmed to allow light to penetrate the canopy. Then at the end of the week they were fed a nutrient tea made from Gonzo Farms - GROW. On the last day the lights were set to a 12/12 schedule to induce flowering. Now, I will keep a close eye on them to spot the males. Once flowering begins, the males will grow "bananas". Then, those plants will be removed from the grow. 😜 Stay tuned for the Flowering stage!

This week was the first week into the flowering stage. I had to cull the male plants before they opened up those pollen sacks. I'm left with three female Lemmosa plants. One of the pots contained a male and a female plant. So, I cut the male out and left the roots. Let's see if the plant does well with the roots of the dead male in the pot. Bent, trimmed and topped!

Two weeks into the flowering stage for these Lemmosa plants. Bud sites are forming. I rearranged the pots and transplanted one of the plants into a bigger pot. They were defoliated on the bottom, and a put a net on them to encourage them to grow evenly.

End of week 14. These Lemmosa plants are looking great. With their sativa structure showing and a dusting of crystals on all the tiny buds. This is barely the first week of hair(pistil) growth, and the flowers are looking like buds. Plus, they are already showing sugar on the leaves, which usually happens near the end. They got a dose of nutrient tea made with FLOWER by Gonzo Farms (developed by a scientist from Los Alamos National Laboratory!) GO SCIENCE! This stuff is as organic as it gets. All of my methods, nutrients, soils and soil amendments are also as Organic as it gets. Aside from the nutrient tea... they also got trimmed, topped, bent and covered with a second net. The second net helps keep them separated, so that light and air can penetrate. I did not like cutting the tops off, but they are getting too tall. They need room to grow, as they could still get a foot taller. There is still very little smell. These don't smell very much until the last week or two.

This week I trimmed the leaves that were blocking light to the lower buds. They were fed FLOWER by Gonzo Farms. It was applied to the soil and scratched in. Then, at the end of the week, the lights were raised to 9. 👽

Check out these lovely Lemmosa ladies! 😍 The buds are covered in trichomes, spreading out onto the leaves. I'm growing three, and each one of them has a slightly different smell. They now have a strong odor. They smell like skunky lemon gas. One of them has a fresher lemony gas smell. The buds form tight and dense, and spaced out from each other. The hairs (pistols) have started to change color on the tips of the plant. This is the 5th week into flowering, so it seems early for the colors to change. But, this is the best grow for me, so far. With this being my fourth run. They only needed a few leaves trimmed. I fed them FLOWER as a nutrient tea. The lights are now on 10, the highest setting.

The Lemmosa plants are FINISHED!!! All three of them. After seeing the trichomes turning amber colored and some deformation, I had to harvest them. I still think they finished early. I've grown Lemmosa before and she took forever to finish. But, Hey! They smell Great! Deep gassy lemon, chemical and skunk, oily, gooey resin was left all over my hands. They are drying in the closet. Once they are done, I will trim and weigh them before putting them in jars to cure. Stay tuned for the official weight, in about a week.
