12/14 right on....This is my first grow, I sourced some clones from Dark Heart Nursery via a local collective called Buds and Roses down here in LA. Unfortunately, I was unable to travel to the Emerald Cup this year and needed scratch my clone itch somehow, so much love to both places for making all my magical dreams come true. (Take that Mickey!)
The new strain in question is called Mirage, it is a cross between Lemon G x Dr.Hoffman. Lemony,citrusy, and purps? Sounds too good to be true..had to do it for science. There is few info out there about this one so decided I would try to leave as much love as possible about how it all goes down.
Brought home and transplanted immediately to an 2 gal airpot in soil. I threw in a tablespoon worth of G.W Mycorrhiza ( so the roots can party) shes under an 250W hps lamp, the space is 24 x 24 x 48, she is in FF OF with a little bit of shaved banana peels and coffee grounds ( for science!) , she was fed RO h2o + super thrive + a drop of golden tree ,about a Liters worth of this solution to reduce transplant shock. Time will tell.
Shes got a couple girlfriends in there right now with her, named Platinum and GG, but don't mind them for now. This diaries main focus is documentation for the Mirage strain.
**update 12/18
I was inspired by all the diaries to be my own Santa and splurge on growing my own (I took advantage of my free 2 day shipping through a certain company that shall remain nameless) and got a new tent and 2 new automatic LED lights more info coming next week...hell yeah!
Whats up @UpnUp! The best time to pull clones from a plant Is during defoliation whenever the plant is at its peak healthiness. The reality is that you can Take clones whenever you want as long as the plant is healthy afterall they only grow as fast as they are healthy in the end! If you want 'special' cones then you want to take your Clones from the Apical(tops) nodes at the top of the plant. The reason for this is the Apical meristem produces the plants Auxin(growth hormone) and delivers it down to the rest of the plant. This allows the Main node to receive more nutrients as it denies the lower stems nutrients that it wants in a process called Apical Dominance. If you want to SPEED up your clones then its suggested to take the Apical Nodes so that the clone STARTS being Apically Dominant and producing Auxin already! Long story short if you are not in flower and your plant is healthy you can take clones now, I suggest taking Top nodes for speed. I hope this helps! 😎
woof.....😵
This week has been lot of guess and check work with variable temps, variable feedings, variable light intensity, variable air flow....I've been trying to dial these babies in. I treated myself to a 36x 36x 72 tent, and two automatic 300w LED fixtures.🙌
As you can imagine/have experienced. once you switch homes you have to reset everything and readjust.
I have come to the conclusion this strain enjoys a heavier feeding, less light intensity, but slightly higher temps, tricky and finicky.
a side note though....👉I topped her about 6 days ago and she now has 3 main stems, like an amazing green little trident. She seems to respond well to training. I dig it!
Suggestions are welcomed!
