Been a minute but I've been super busy with work, yard work, garden work, the whole 9 yrds!
After months of waiting for the weather to break I've decided to clone these girls for the outdoors and proceeding to flower them indoors.
Every week we've been getting hit with tornadic storms / heavy 20mph+ winds / and heavy rain.
I figure this will give mother nature time to settle in her summer role.
This will also allow me to "weed" out any unwanted phenotypes and retain multiples of the ones that are keepers.
Anyways through all the storms, I was able to erect a proper outdoor greenhouse... just need to figure out how to make it legally compliant as it needs to be "secure". This will hopefully be the home of the clones.
What a joke, my closest neighboris 1/2 mile away. A simple knife can render "secured areas" insecure! I guess it's the effort that counts?!
Any ideas on how to secure a zipper based greenhouse from this creative community is welcome!
Anyways, after 3 days in the tent, I decided to do my first plant manipulations.
Heavy defoil removing bud sites and foliage from the 3rd node from the top --- down. Super crop HST and allowing a week for recovery before flipping the light schedule.
Really looking good for the lack of care amd underpowered lighting on these girls.
Still running on ๐ฏ fox farms ocean . No additives... yet.
@Hattiwatti, best part, this was a basic grow. No real training other than a light HST before flower to strengthen them up a bit. 3 Gal pot, a little defoilation and homebrew tea. No need for expensive ferts or extra medium.
They ain't got the biggest of flowers, but they smell potent AF, dense and sparkle like the stars on a dark frosty night in BFE!
A big contrast to what I'm about to flower with the Watermelon Zkittlez. Got a helluva concoction that's got more parts than a Teenager's Long Island Ice Tea on a Skinny Dipping Tuesday!
Goes to prove, it's all about attentive care, sometimes less is more and more is less... #LawOfMinimum
@Hattiwatti, Thanks bro!
Yeah they're doing surprisingly good for a basic "experimental" grow.
Keeping it cost effective and trialing out 3 gallon fabric pots for the flowering cycle while utilizing my last crops as fuel for this grow.
I'm saving 10 Gallons of overall medium this cycle.
If I can NET 90% of my last cycles weight... and still get great buds.... this might be my default go to method.
Still have 7 seeds left. All found in a MI grown dispensary bag bought for . Seems they may have originated from Humboldt Seed Company? If so, what a score that buy ended up being!
Every transplant I was careful in guiding roots to prevent them from choking out. Still got around a month to go supposedly we'll see how well it goes.
