Day 33: What an amazing height and bud gain in just 3 days! Lady #1 is 67 cm tall now, her sister a tad smaller. Both still have a great color, and I dared to cur away just the lowest branches and leaves that do not look like they could gain height in time. Really enjoying this strain so far!
At the end of their day, they are a bit dropping leaves, so clearly no hunger for more light. The impressive growth speed continued on their buds: Tallest lady at 70 cm now.
Their next morning shows growth is still at an impressive 5 cm/day as lady #1 with her leaves erected again stretches now 72, the maximum of my previous growth. Pulled the lights as close as possible to the ceiling and hope they won’t make it much more than 1 m. I activated the Sansi 30 W folded wings LED to give them somewhat of a morning and evening light and to add some more light to their overlapping center branches in the middle of "their" day. Sadly that’s causing some interference to the timelapse videos, but I can’t say they’re perfect if it wouldn’t.
Watching the timelapse video of day 34, I have the feeling the additional light rather irritates them. Maybe the interference is not only visible for electronic eyes. I’ll keep it off next day for comparisons.
Day 35 shows stretch speed has reduced indeed and they seem to be concentrating on leaf and bud growth instead. 75 cm, so we are currently at "only" 3 cm/day. Watered them with a HPE/Bud growth mix again last night, about 1 l each.
Well, forget my words about reduced growth. After they recovered during the night, we are at 77 cm for lady #1.
Which measured at 78 with hanging leaves in their day’s evening. I must have missed a day number – day 36 concludes their 5th week. I gave them another 2 l of fertilised water each and will lave them for the weekend again.
Video shows that growth concentrates now more on leaf and bud development than on gaining height. So I guess my 160 cm tent will be sufficient. For a moment I was worried, but it looks like stretch is over. Anyway, time to rearrange the camera next week. Leaves are running out of focus.
I'm right there with ya, a few more weeks. I usually chop day 77-85. Autos usually require 50-60 days of flowering and then you add the veg time (21-35 days usually)
@Dabking, thank you! Yes, I see, we’re equal up to the height. :D
Just saw some buds sparkle like being wet – this looks very much like a great harvest. Yours too.
I can’t insist on experience, but from my limited knowledge I agree breeder’s times, although mostly declared as seed-to-harvest, should rather be read as blooming time. Which is quite ok for me. Really would like to see them in full colors before being cut.
Pi + sensors + custom exhaust fans?! Holy shit, that sounds awesome dude. I'm not sure why this will be your last grow but with that kind of engineering it is a shame to lose you. Good luck yo.
@Waveform, I mean, you don't want to be a bad neighbor. You pretty much have to stick it out for that Mimosa Cookies or it'd be rude. 😏 And if there is another plant on the way it's probably a good idea to get a few more seeds. I mean the tent is up anyways, right?
About a decade ago I was homebrewing in my garage and had a similar situation with a neighbor. Once you see the magic, you get the itch. Abracadabra, yo.
@NastyNatesJungle, Maybe I’ll continue, but with lower priority. I must confess I infected a neighbour who used to grow aeons ago. In fact he escalated quite quickly, from "let me just have one plant on the shelf and watch her grow by sunlight" to a 1 x 1 x 2 m tent with double the lighting I got in about 2 weeks, and for my support he is pre-growing a Mimosa Cookies for me, so I guess the title lies. Thanks a lot in any case!
Looks amazing.
Happy growing growmie!
I love what I’m seeing, keep on doing your thing!
