Sativa Winter Grow Tent

They look great , dont worry about a slight paling here and there. . you are doing great

Hi Peg, nice choice of strain. ACE has some of the best varieties and qualities of Sativas anywhere. Malawi is no different. Very pure Sativa. It stretches a lot. Use tomatoe cages. 3 or 4 ft in height. Top and widen out branches. At this point ur likely going to have to just hold on and hope they stop growing vertical. Have you heard of Cobbing ? If so you should try it with this harvest :). Only takes 1 oz of bud and it has incredible results. Search up Malawi style Cobbing. Tangwena is the guy who shares the method. Golden Tiger , Panama , Malawi , Zamal , are all home run strains if you like pure Sativas. They can take very long. Some I’ve seen go 16-20+ weeks of flower and still have clear / cloudy trichs. Happy growing peg, best of luck with your Malawi 😎

Hello, Your Plants looking good atm. If they got pale or yellow and die, its because of cannibalising herself. I wont give her Nitrogen in that stage of flower, Its "normal" that plants eating themselves. Nitrogen would slow the Flowering down. Give her some Flowering Fertiliser and blackstrapmolasses. The molasses feed the microbacteria in the soil, so the feeding is better avialable for the plant. Happy growing.

nice and lanky ready for those 1m Colas to form on

they will be verticals before you know it. get those ladies as wide as you can . looking healthy

Coming along nicely 😃👍

Nice looking long sativa colas, good work dude! Have a nice springtime and enjoy the sun with some sweet sativa!

As you had said recently @CRiSPrGrow, the GD family is strong! I just learned something from you, sir. “”puffy" space between the veins of the leaves , is a tell tale sign”

Nice and Happy plants....

I saw your question and wanna note that in general plants stretch more when day is hot and night is colder, and stay much more compact when the night is warmer. The greater the difference in temps, the bigger the stretch. One agricultural practice is to decrease temps at the start of daytime to below night temps. This causes a similar effect to having warmer nights - bushier plants with less stretch.

hi, Nice Chioce of strains, gonna follow, to see how they develop, happy growing

Heya! Got some updates on each plant. Durban Poison - Went hermie on me - never a sign, but has seeds lower and top - isolated to another room. Stress from high nighttime RH, flush has started. Old school folks - going to be nostalgic to get out an album cover to roll one. LOL Malawi - Bulking up, was least impacted from RH nighttime f**k up. G13 - Slow going , nice colas are developing NEW ADDITIONS TO TENT: Red Dragon from Barney's Farrm HulkBerry from Royal Queen Seeds Garanimals from DC Bag Seed Overall, 5 Sativa plants at different stages : Durban Poison Hulkberry Red Dragon G13 Haze Malawi Panama Garanimals - Indica & Sativa

Thanks Dude! In the home stretch, ecuuuuz the pun!

>just hold on and hope they stop growing vertical That's the truth! Loving the sturdy stems... but the chicks might think they can handle much more height. >Have you heard of Cobbing? Yes, and want to try it! This cobbing post is inspirational https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/tangwenas-malawi-style-cob-cure-fermented-cannabis.443405/ Always loved Thai Sticks back in the day - Will try to recreate the experience...

The temps have stabilized, I opened the tent and blacked out the light the best I could. Now the temp swings are a 81f and night 69f. Top leaf temps with lights on are 75f-79f. Flower will be a challenge on light leaks!

Is super cropping before flip a viable solution to height concern? “Note: Since Monsanto owns Botanicare, this is the last grow I will be using these products.” Attagirl! Fight the power 👊🏽

Good start my friend, maybe try watering a tiny bit less - "puffy" space between the veins of the leaves , is a tell tale sign

Very nice. 👊🏼🤩🏆 Kick back and enjoy.

That malawi/panama looks very nice and somewhat similar to some of the plants I've grown. I reckon I have/had something like that too (here in africa). I can't be sure though coz I used random seeds, was incredibly heavy/dense plant with pink/red pistils, massive flowers, well shit, most of my plants are like that (24 sativa dominant randoms), they get pretty large (near 4m for some of my plants with 60cm space in soil, over 2m for 20l pots). But here are some pics of the landrace/possibly panama red hybrid I had: When it was younger: https://growdiaries.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/static/post/photo/19262/917892_african-bagseedscustomsativa.jpg https://growdiaries.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/static/post/photo/19262/917907_african-bagseedscustomsativa.jpg Recently: https://growdiaries.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/static/post/photo/19262/980325_african-bagseedscustomsativa-dominant-hybrids.jpg https://growdiaries.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/static/post/photo/19262/980327_african-bagseedscustomsativa-dominant-hybrids.jpg https://growdiaries.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/static/post/photo/19262/968669_african-bagseedscustomsativa-dominant-hybrids.jpg Took almost 30 weeks before I harvested that plant (it just kept on layering, and I harvested it early due to weather and weight woes), outdoor, uncovered grow. From what I've seen (though I'm not claiming it to be correct or whatever) is that while the plant is showing new growth, it's probably worth letting it grow (considering growing time, yield increase, combination of effects, like inner parts are slightly "cured" so to say, degradation is minimal, since it's covered, etc, it depends on your preferences though). I mean, if you have some amber trichomes, but your plant is still producing new stuff at a good enough rate, I wouldn't let that go to waste, especially with long grows. Just gotta watch out for shit like mildew and keep your temps/RH manageable, maybe the occasional preventative anti-fungal spray/foliar feed (potassium bicarbonate or something like ash/char tea seems good), because some of the sativas tend to get super dense/heavy, but in a more sterile/controlled environment that shouldn't be a big problem. Growing a bunch of plants (about 50 so far). to see how they handle uncovered outdoor winter here, but winter here is likely quite a bit nicer than some other places. The first batch should be tough enough now (been about 4 weeks, they look good) for a while, dunno about more recent plants.

may i drop by for a taste? looks great man, good job on the great run 👊
