Finally starting to look decent and push out some leaves! My first photo plant is getting a better start than my recent outdoor autos. I have a bomb seeds THC bomb (a purple auto that's the same age as this P/O CBD and I may have to toss a pic of her in for comparison.... Maybe not
I forget when exactly it happened, but I came home and it had been windy that day, the poor girl was completely horizontal! I put a bare copper wire on her for support. She currently appears to be stabilized
She's starting to get bigger!! More foods! My phone hates this website. It's frustrating to write the least. Lots of lag. Any whoozles, we're getting interesting now. I doubt I'm going to train her, a nice big Xmas tree we'll see!!
I'm about to do a feed here shortly, so I'll have lots of good info to post. Also going to do my best keeping up from here on through October/November.. getting ready to haven't my first round of outdoor autos, 2 white widow XTRM from ams, and 2 gorilla glue by fast buds. About another week or two. I'm still learning how to read the plant when it comes to ripeness and when growth has stopped but before foxtails, but you prolly aware of all this train of thought, anyways. I'll get actual measurements of her Towerness today with the feed
Lots of rain this week! I also did a flush with Demeter's, Aphrodite's, and Herculean. It's getting pretty sizeable, gonna have to carve some bushes to get a safe alcove from prying eyes. Thanks for stopping by! Happy growing!!
Oh yeah! - 2 gallons of water
Been quite humid this week. Some rain. We're going into an extended stretch of hot hazy humid in the Next week, so I'll do my absolute best to keep her happy. She is getting ready to show sex. I read that to increase yield, you should clip the subordinate flower shoots from the branches, leaving just the end to become a huge concentrated flower. Being my first photo and first year growing, altogether, I figured just defol for this girl. I really hope she stops going vertical soon! She's gonna end up over my privacy fence! I'll figure something out.
Happy growing!
Lots of heat, lots of humidity (greater DC metro area). Sorry the pics aren't more plentiful and varied, but it is what it is. I dug a small hole to sink the pot into to lower it's crown heights. It needs to go down another 8 inches, but it's good for now. She still hasn't shown sex, but I'm thinking she's almost there. Overall, I think vertical growth has slowed dramatically.
Thanks for having a peek! Happy and healthy growing!!
Got lax with the pics again. Sorry, but it's hard to photograph paint drying, y'know?
Uhh... Got to scope the one neighbor whose fence is my privacy. He seemed quite into his task and not minding the space above his head, thankfully.
Nowww JUST FLOWER ALREADY!!! Subsequently, when it does, I hope it isn't like roadkill; or that it does.... Idk. I brought in a Dutch passion auto daquari lime inside because I want it to flower real nice - I need about 7 more ona blocks!!😌😓😱 She's a stinky sativa. And my wife may kill me for it.
Back on topic - I've cut back on Medusa's magic and may eliminate it to cut out all the N I can. Haven't topped it because I want to see what she's capable of, but that is becoming my chagrin.
Thanks for hanging out!! Happy growing!!
Not much to report. I've removed as much nitrogen as I can to slow her down, but not much doing.
If I top her, won't two subsidiary shoots restart and keep getting taller? Because of the calcium in this line, and the kraken is designed specifically to strengthen everything and make it rigid, I can't really tie anything down to train it, unless I'm on her like white on rice.
Fully agreed, I must quell the height! Looking into it now (again)
Thanks for having a peek, Happy growing!!
Yayyyy!! It's a lady! Very faint/delicate smell emanating from the pre-flower; if this trend continues, I'll only need worry about visual detection. It seems as though main vertical growth has slowed tremendously and the plant has turned that energy into branch node flowers. I've kind of stopped with defoliation because I've become overwhelmed. I'm very much looking forward to the potential medicinal value for muscle fatigue related to scoliosis, ADD symptoms/issues, as well as abating my sleep/sleeping issues.
Thanks for having a peek! Sorry I was late this week!
And as always - happy healthy and prosperous growing!!
So as you've read, I had a torrential deluge that decided to pop through, and am I ever happy for the kraken! I don't know if that is the sole reason I didn't suffer bigger loses, or rather any at all, but this product is definitely not leaving my line up, especially outdoor!! Thank you to The Beard and Frank! (I hope you're feeling better, I just got my order of 1 gallon each Poseidon's enzimes and kaotic blooming, and a bucket of harvesting Herculean harvests)
I wanted to do foliar with the bloom khaos, but may still hit her a few times even though I began watering it in today, 8/16.
Still no stank yet. Crossing eyes and fingers!
Thanks for having a peek!! Happy, healthy and prosperous growing!!
I had forgotten about the slf -- I've been employing that from the onset, my apologies for it's exclusion. Another humid, hot week. She was a touch stressed (droopy for being thirsty) so I gave her a DECENT drink of water. Which brings be too my next omission - I've been gathering water in 5 gallon buckets, once a week, from a designated watershed, in a very upstream, high volume section.
Onto the hacktual factuals: we managed to stay upright this week. The mosquitoes are relentless when I'm watering, which generally occurs in the evening. Starting to push the Herculean harvest (though I just realized I need to go harder, but I'm also being helped with Triton's trawl here and could probably go another 3tsp and not worry) in conjunction with bloom khaos. I'm trying to keep the athenas animas at a 1:1 ratio. The slf (designed to digest calcium, which is nectar's base) claims to only require 1tsp/gallon,, but I'm thinking that I'll need at least 3tsp/G to keep the nutrients from just setting on top of my soil.
Future plans (& and repetitive redundancies): I've got a fair amount of liquid bone meal, and I'll try to remember to get a shot of my line up this week, as well as more photos in general, but as a new grower I'm finding what most seasoned 'thumbs already know - it takes time.
I guess that wraps it up this week, so I'll bud you adieux! Until next 'weed week Wednesday', may your plants live long, and prosper. 🖖
Had a weekend out, nectar flush on Friday and feed her on Monday. She was a little wild yesterday, but withing 1 hour of feeding, she was all rainbows and koala farts. Still just chugging along. Small report this week.
Happy healthy and bombastic growing!!
Yeah! Got a few pics this week. The pretty much tell the story. I've been planning for my indoor auto season. I'll probably keep one more journal here, tandem with AFN, but after that I'll probably just hang out there, idk. Anyway -- I get more anxious about someone stealing her every day. And next Tuesday, I'm headed to Belgium for a week. Excited for vacation, nervous about leaving her. I'll have a close person put the 9/15 flush-feed into her, maybe just water, I don't think that'd hurt her for one feed. I'll see what's easiest with my PIC. I have a week to suss it all out.
Thanks for having a peek! Happy, flourishing flowering to you all!
Mega Morpheus was switched to Persephone's palate 2 weeks ago, sorry.
Spent a week in Belgium and had a close person just plain water the plant once, in the middle of my vacation. Due to this I have a lack of photojournalism. Sowwy!!!
Less than a month! I have projected to harvest this girl on 10/14. Gonna have two buddies help me harvest because it's fun and I've known these dudes 10 years, literally the first two people I met when I moved to this state. Should be a good campfire 😎
Thanks for having a peek! I wish you all easy and complete sugar translocation in your upcoming and recently passed harvests!! Cheers and don't forget to LOVE
Getting down to the wire! I check the trichome color 2 time a day (10 clear 80 milky 10 Amber). She's finishing fast!! I think she's gonna get the chop here real soon, possibly this weekend. I've already got one of my trimming buddies requesting some for his sister in law (recent double mastectomy 😢), so I get to help out!! I'll be sure to include any outsider's thoughts and opinions in the final harvest report. Funny thing is: he thinks he's gonna pay me for it 😂😂! No, my friend - if it's being used as medicine, it's my pleasure!
Have a look at the pics, most of the hairs have changed to brown, but she still has another 11 days until breeders recommended maturity. Either way, I'm beginning the nectar's flush/ripen period now Any input on harvest would be fantabulous! Much love and happy growing!
I haven't gotten to sample, still drying. Will update.
*Update*:: it's kind of a heavy smoke without being overwhelming; after 30 or so minutes, I get real heavy eyelids and just wanna naaaaaaaappp.. zzz...zzz...
I have samples going out to totally unrelated people and will be collecting their thoughts, as well.
I obviously will have some for a while and hope it gets sweeter as the cure sets in. Ok. I've ran out of things to say, but my outcome is still yellow... Gimme Green!!!
My reason for harvesting was increasing chances of bud rot (2% of total weight found). Also, my plant would no longer be receiving direct sunlight for more than 2 hours a day, so I figured, why not? Had a trim party with my hombres Kenny and Matteo! I did not get a wet weight, but would it be useful with all them sticks still attached? Either way, I'm conservatively guessing 6 zips dried, realistically 8 zips, and optimistically 12 zips. Again, that's a pure speculative guess and I'll be sure to weigh up, and date-up, this weekend for actual factuals, taste and effect details as well! Stay tuned, don't touch that dial and more bulletins as events warrant.
Also of note - as we were beginning to trim, 'Mary Jane's Last Dance' came on my Pandora list. RIP Mr Petty - thanks for the music
Overall - this plant is quite easy, if a little leafy, but that's fine too. I like all the updates and new options that are becoming available so that you can truly include all the information to your heart's content. Again, I'll be back with missing info in another week and again as the cure sets in! Happy growing everyone! Thanks for hanging around, and I'll see you around.
As always - i wish you happy healthy and prosperous growing!!
@Korfer, I'm finding that out!! Haha! I think I'm going to take them out fully tonight for maybe 20 minutes and see where that gets us. Thanks for the tip!
Sorry, I interrupted my own thoughts --- Athena's animas at a 1:1 with Aphrodite's extraction, but may be dipping lower with those two, in favor of more kraken and Triton's
@simps, yeah. She was getting very little sunshine. Thought she did show signs of turning color, so that was nice. It was a tough decision, but I'm glad I made it
Now that my nerve-wracking grow is over, I can relax inside and catch up on all you beautiful people's diaries!!
@Tonino, I doubt I'll have it actually analyzed, but breeder claims it to be 10:5 -- CBD:THC , but I also saw those numbers reversed in one description. Dinafem claims it to be their highest CBD:THC plant in their arsenal. Very nice citrus smell. I'm excited and nervous to watch her finish; tricome checks every twelve hours! Hahaha! My projected date May be moved forward and I doubt the weather will cooperate and cool quickly enough for the purple to express itself
Oh well! Thanks for having a peek!
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, haha, it's been an interesting para-symbiotic relationship. The bushes create cover, but steal the sun; too much trimming and my cover's undone. It's a tightrope walk!
Nice Purple Orange Benji! It seems we're the only ones growing this strain on here.
How big is the stalk-in diameter? Mine's over 2 inches in diameter. I went with larger containers this season, and it has definitely made a dramatic increase in size! I was using 5 gallon containers, but the plants always seemed to get root bound quickly. No more 5 gal!
@Yololive, I think I'm nearing 1.75" diameter (and that might even be an overestimation). My girlie is in a 7 gallon, with a riser (to simulate more soil volume, but as the top roots go more downward rather than sprawling, you can save a good bit of soil). However, there are no holes for the roots to go into the lower tier @ its surface level (rookie error that I realized after it was too late to remedy); I'll draw a pic and you'll see.
I think we're the only people, other than Dinafem, to do any growing of this strain *worldwide* and if not we're certainly the only ones documenting our grows. I am searching constantly for info. Seedfinder has some.. has yours begin to odor up at all? Mines still innocuous.
How many years experience have you got?
Benji
