Grandpa's Cookies #7 x Lilac Diesel #22

This week in the gardens, I got all 8 of my plants in my Mars Hydro 30 inch Clone Tent, transplanted into half gallon seedling pots to finish out early veg. I ditched one of my Raspberry Ripple #2 clones for the space, giving me my even 8 plants for both 4x4 quadrants, in the flower tent. I'm on day 53 currently so I have a few weeks until I can move the plants to that tent. Seedlings and Clones- I gave the Seedlings and Clones a small dose of Bullet Proof SI (3ml per gallon) this week they reacted well to it. I did this to strengthen cell walls and help the plants develop their branch growth. I have noticed all plants this roun definitely had better branching than my last clone run or my first seedling run. I attribute this to a lower topping, and a higher ppfd. Before I had my Photobio par meter. I was always scared to burn young plants with my light so i'd keep it very low. I found out with the meter I was way under doing the light. This caused some of my previous plants to stretch and become leggy. I'm glad I was able to get my plants off to better start! I came in today and gave a little more Mykos wp and roots organic Trinity to this tent and my mother tent and everyone was praying about 4 hours later! Viparspectra V1000 still set at around 50% at 12 inches away. Temps at 76° F, Humidity at 51%. I've still been watering mostly with my HDX hand sprayer at around 6.5 pH. Ethos: Lilac Diesel #22 (x) Grandpa's Cookies #7- This seedling has been on a good pace. It was topped at 12 inches and 6 node sites. It's branches have now began to grow outward. It still has the most sativa leaning leaves of all the plants in my current roster, so I'm hoping it's not too massive of a stretcher. My height restrictions are a little low in the flower tent at 72 inches. They aren't too sativa leaning though! They remind me a lot of the Raspberry Ripple #1s leaves and structure. It's the tallest plant in the whole tent currently as well at 14 inches. I dig how evenly the branches are coming out as well! HSO/ Giest Grow: Tow Truck- The Tow Truck is still continuing its indica dominant behavior! It's leaves are very wide and dark green. This plant also reached the 12 inch mark so it was topped two days ago. It has 5 node sites below the topping and 2 new main branches. It has began to grow its branches as well the branches are also growing wider leaves. I've been checking this seedling for sex signs. I haven't been able to find any information online about this particular strain, so I'm unsure if it's a feminized seed or not. I'm pretty sure it is! I got it at a local event at a hydro store and they were in little plastic bags with a strain label. It doesn't have any signs that gives me a certain yay or nay quite yet. This is my first really indica dominant plant, so Im hoping for a gassy phenotype. Raspberry Ripple #1 Clones- These clones are doing great, my #1 Phenotype of Raspberry Ripple has always been the more vigorous of the two. All 4 clones hit the 12 inch mark and were topped last week, since then the branches have really shot out and are growing much more evenly than usual under the higher par this time. Usually this pheno leaves a lot of its bottom branches in the dust, after a little while and has a tendency to only focus on its main tops. I'm glad to see it has the potential to really push its branches in the right conditions. These plants are hardy and have the thickest stems out of the tent and are praying hard today! Raspberry Ripple #2 Clones- The #2 clones were still lagging behind everything else in the tent in height, still only standing at about 9 inches each. They have not been topped yet but they have already been working on lower and upper branches. This pheno of Ripple actually can grow its branches pretty uniformly without much interference. They were finally transplanted into the half gallons, from the seedling pots, two days ago. Their root system wasn't bound up crazy or anything but they did need to be transplanted within that week for sure, just for water retention. They were drying the soil out pretty fierce between waterings. Flowering Tent- The flowering tent is on day 53 for both phenos of Raspberry Ripple. They are both in the fading process and are ripening up by the day. Not much left to do in this tent but water and wait. The number one pheno definitely lasted out a lot better in the 15 gallons and I plan on using them in the future. The number two phenos in the 5 gallons did seem like they were able to fight through the deficiency they were having in the long run. Still giving out some really swollen buds, with the same flavor profile as last time. I definitely got much more even light coverage on every plant this flower run. Thanks to the HLG Blackbird, and the better defoliation through the canopy. The tops are all very large dense buds. Both plants look very frosty as well this run and I can't wait to take them down here in a couple of weeks! Until next week, thank you for checking out this entry of my growdiaries! -Starfish
