July 13: first heat wave of the year was last week, and there is another forecast for next week, but for now this is pretty ideal cannabis weather.
Added a third Scrog layer and tied it off to some weights (partly filled water bottles) to open up the canopy further. Works, simple, and easy to move around the yard as needed.
I really like this plant and how it’s going so far.
July 14: re-scrogged again to widen the canopy further. Supercropped the ends to maintain the same elevation at the various growth tips. Four stems in middle were topped to keep them from getting ahead of the others. Experimenting to see how it goes.
July 16: hot again. Increased water volume and sometimes misting air with garden hose water for the evaporative cooling. She looks great.
July 17: another 32 C day. Watered four times today so likely 7-8 L in the heat with the growing plant.
July 18: hot again. Mixed Power Bloom and malted Barley with some soil and added as a top dressing.Hit 34 C and 20% relative humidity which is far too hot and dry for cannabis. Lots of watering, and misting of leaves and air to provide some moisture and cooler temperatures.
@Northern_Ent As far as I can see, you are very experienced. You are a very good grower. And you have worked with as many different seed companies as possible. What I want to ask an experienced person like you; If there were 5 best genetics you have tried so far, which would they be? And which genetic has the highest psychedelic properties in your opinion? And my last question is, why do you think these ''copy cat genetics'' seeds are so expensive? Does that mean they are much better than other seed companies? I am currently growing anesia seeds imperium x and Alien OG, I want to see how psychedelic they are.
@jingamin, hey thanks very much. I love growing but all my stuff is outdoor in a sometimes harsh climate at a high latitude (Edmonton). Having said that five faves are (no order) gorilla glue - fast buds, Candyland from Garden of Green, Frostberry from Lucky13 is fast and has great taste, super Lemon Haze and Lambsbread from Ganja Farmer were really nice and Hash Bud from Quebec Cannabis seeds. Have not tried growing but a Pakistani Purple Chitral is sometimes in the stores here…moderate to low THC but great terpenes or something that really works for me.
So, Fast Buds and Ganja Farmer are excellent places to start.
And weed isn’t really a hallucinogen once you get into it a bit. Of course, I think that about acid too (more just sensory enhancement). Good luck.
@cultivars, yeah shitty. I’m all set up to make hash, which is as much fun as growing, so it’s okay. The other plants aren’t seeded so I’m not too choked.
@Arcadium, yeah I’m using smallish bags so I can easily move them around the yard. Would be nice to have a single sunny spot, but not with this yard. I also use 5 gallon pails of water to stabilize the grow bags. So with the plants and pails of water being moved around I get a nice light daily workout for my gym-hating, lazy ass gen-x body. “It’s not couch lock - I’m lazy”. Anyway Growdiaries is great for inspiration, and I’m looking forward to seeing how your plants finish. Good luck.
