Days 25 -31 (from seed)
2/26/24 - 3/03/24
Lamp distance: 24" @ 100% power (estimate 650+ PAR)
VPD: leaf surface temperature averaging 78-81 degrees - humidity set to 65%
Feed schedule: Each plant receiving, gradually up to 1/3 gallon water daily - feed regiment once a week
IPM: EM5 1oz per 1/3 gallon, foliar spray at lights out to plants + cover crop
Notes:
Abstained from defoliating in general but some of the lowest leaves of the plants that are unhealthy and making full-time contact with the cover crop needed to be mulched
Using both alfalfa sst and corn sst once each this week
Day 26 - trimmed up some excess cover crop + top dress w/ 1/8 craft blend + 1/2 cup silica (montanagrow) + 1/4 cup BAS worm castings
Day 28 - Mango Sky, Cookies & Berries + Hot Damn all showing definitive signs of flowering as white pistils start emerging
Lamp distance changed to 16" from highest point of the canopy
Day 29 - Vanilla Fizz also now showing white pistils
Tucking leaves & bending tops to encourage auxin production in other branches seems to be working at leveling out the top of the canopy
Mango Sky turning around with some tops and Vanilla Fizz is still so dense and squat, here's hoping it has a decent stretch
vanilla fizz f2. i just harvested 2 compound v autos from night owl seeds they are a cross between, chem city blues, chemdogging and vanilla fizz f2. short, stout, miniature versions of their parents. still drying, they smell like good oid seni dipped in vanilla extract. the buzz off of a couple of small inside buds is a creeper for sure, 2 tokes followed 10 minutes later with another and off you go still getting higher 30 minutes later and from that point on it is 1 toke weed to keep the happiness going. all in all very pleased with the cultivar from night owl and will picking up some more of their beans shortly. check out that grow and let me know what you think
