Getting into the home stretch. Trichomes are getting milky with a few turning amber. Buds are getting thicker but nothing quite like my other grows.
Of the four batches that I have run indoors the lowest harvest for a single plant was 150g. This grow will be my least impressive and expect that each plant will produce around 100g. I still have a bit before harvest and keeping up hope that these ones will start filling out in the next couple weeks.
I might be surprised but given the current rate of growth and weight gain I still have to be realistic about my expectations.
Factors influencing the lower harvest.
1. Left them in the original germination pots too long and they got a bit root bound.
2. I underfed them once they were transplanted and put them into the grow tent. Gaia Green 4-4-4 gives the appropriate instructions but I misread it and used teaspoons instead of tablespoons and effectively used a third of what I should have.
3. These plants didn't respond as well to LST as other plants. Each bend really slowed down further growth of that branch. Previous grows the plants didn't break stride when being pinned down. They kept on reaching for the light and filling out the space once they were pinned down.
