Days 46 - 52 (from seed)
3/18/24 - 3/24/24
Lamp distance: 12" @ 100% power (estimate 950 PAR from highest point of canopy)
VPD: leaf surface temperature averaging 72 degrees - humidity set to 50%
Feed schedule: Each plant receiving 1/4 to 1/3 gallon water twice daily, every 10 hrs apart - except for Vanilla Fizz (half watering amount) - feed regiment has mainly been once a week, but implementing more FPE (2oz per gal.) and now Kefir Whey (4oz per gal.) every third day
IPM: visual inspection only, no foliar
Notes:
Should've lowered the light intensity this week but decided not to - plants didn't seem much fatigued by end of day and fingers crossed the biology below will keep up.
I also changed up how they're receiving water with this long of a schedule into flowering. Their entire daily water regiment at once in the morning seemed overwhelming to them at the end of last week, all except Mango Sky Auto who just drinks and prays regardless. Half the water is sprayed in the morning and the other half 10 hrs later in the day. And this from observation seems to be keeping them perky and happier without having to reduce their water to compromise.
Fans have also been relocated to upper canopy and the humidifier needing some low-tech mod to stop it from blowing beneath the scrog. Kefir whey has brought on much more praying attitudes from the others as well and the smells are now ramping up.
Vanilla Fizz smells like cheese and sort of like perfume. Hot Damn! is leaning funky. Cookies & Berries is highly citrus, little bit of funk with terpinolene or pine maybe. Mango Sky is tropical but smells dank, slight skunk-funky under it - my personal favorite. Mango Sky's leaves are already starting to show signs of senescence this week.
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
