Wild Graden / Alien Moonrocks/ High Mars / Radical Juice / Special Queen / Black Bomb/ Tropimango
a little throwback to 16.10 so that you can see a little change apart from the start of flowering
Got some Cal def on the Special queen but she was recovering fine
First Week of Flower.
Switched on 21.10.24 to flower and then Switch from Dylight to night mode due to falling temperatures so that the plants do not fall below 20° in the nighttime
The Alien Moonrock has a height of 93 cm
The Radical Juice has a height of 59-71 cm
The High Mars has a height of 56-65 cm
The Special Queen Nr 1# has a height of 58 cm
The Black Bomb has a height of about 40 cm
The Tropimango has a height of 26 cm
The Jack Here has a height of 67 cm
The Glookies has a height of about 34 cm
The plants were defoliated shortly after the changeover and I cut off a few shoots because they were hardly getting any light. As I haven't grown them for a long time, I'm leaving 1-3 shoots on because I want to see the depth effect of the lamp so that I can prune, defoliate & direct the energy better in the next grows. the stretch should start in the next 1-2 days as the plants have been switched from day to night and need a few days to check this with the shift in the light cycle.
The Special queen had/has still to fight with Cal deficiency which is getting better from day to day.
Watering is done as needed as the pot sizes vary from 8.5L to 20L, the smallest pots get about 2L at the moment & the larger ones 3-5 depending on need & weight sometimes more sometimes less, hard to say as I don't measure that. When drain comes, it is stopped but it is not always poured up to the drain as it is not always needed, it is just a matter of feeling
The lights have both been at 100% since the changeover on 21.10 and will remain at 100% until the end of the stretch and the first flowering.
This was the end of Flowering week 1 not much to see yet
The Stretch was normal nothing special due too age off the lads
I'm hoping for some purple phenos🙏
Week 2 has arrived and we're relaxing waiting for the stretch to be completed to defoliate and lollipop the girls so they get more light and send some energy to the upper regions.
The RQS Girl is a bit Strugeling with a cal Def but i jst keep pumping 2ml per L water calMag in untill she recovers.
Here we go flowering week no 3
Each plant was defoliated because I was a bit lazy the RQS Special Queen or Hulk Berry ? I'm still not sure which one it was tbh she was the last member to get it but now she's doing well and getting plenty of light thoo
All lads are on Day 20 at 11.11.24
The ladies have a height of 40-100 cm and most of them are around 70-100 cm high, the Blackbomb somehow never really wanted to get going. Topping the Tropi Mango in direct comparison to other strains is interesting to see, for me this means that as long as I don't do long veg phases the ladies are not topped or fimmed as it takes too much time. No problem at all with longer veg, but in direct comparison it makes more sense for me to let the ladies grow & take away the lowest shoots.
The lights are still running at 100% but I'm thinking about dimming them down to 80% until we have week 5-6 and the swelling of the flowers starts, SanLight has a very nice comparison grow in which they come to the conclusion that 80% power gives the best G/W result.
The most exciting phase is beginning & I can hardly wait for the month to be over and for it to be mid-December
11.11.24 Added some Nightshoots. Sry for the shity quality my phone is garbage and it will take some time untill i get a new one cuz it's not nessecary.
Week 5 is about to end
so far everything looks good, the first ladies are getting the first hint of purple, that would be Radical Juice a High Mars, Alien Moonrock as well as the Special queen.
The first plants are also slowly getting autumnal tones, but I don't care, I'm not going to do anything about it at the halfway point or just over halfway through flowering.
I fertilize according to the scheme incl. 0.4 ml calmag per liter, whereby I notice that I can also increase this with increasing power of the lamps, currently both lamps are running at 100% until the end of the 3 generative phase.
In a few days I will add PK 13/14 & the rest of the boost acclerator about 20-21 days before the end, as the Alien Moonrock takes the longest with 11 weeks or about 66-70 days I can start fertilizing with PK 13/14 in a week at the latest.
2 plants look really shitty, that would be the Blackbomb & a Highmars, they didn't really want to take off like the others, otherwise I'm quite satisfied & I'm curious to see how much the buds will swell in the next 2-3 weeks.
I wish everyone here a nice december and a happy advent & contemplative holidays growmies👋
Chop Chop time. Totaly forgott about here and allrdy smoked like 1 oz away😂
Pics will follow soon, but not this night, too lazy too stick my garbage phone on the pc agien 😅😂
Jst Forgott this MF but that doesn't matter, this free bee was supposed to be a fem & was an auto and I only had fems from Glookies, very wierd but no matter, hardly anything came around very small & grew very shitty So no pictures of shame
First Days of Week 6 starts
More pic will follow soon
Update.
We have reached the 3 generative phase of flowering and the calyxes are starting to swell more in some and less in others, now we are starting to add pk 13/14 1.3ml per liter for the entire week 6, this will be 2 to 3 waterings that will take place during this time. then we will switch back to Flores in week 7 and from week 9 to the end of week 10 we will slowly reduce the nutrients.
Lights are one 100%
End of week 7 FD 54
2 ladies are already in the sweet spot and defoliated
The trichomes look good, the first 3 ladies could be cut off, but I want to wait another 1-2 weeks but it all depends on the trichome coverage, if I see enough amber coloured parts in the lower buds I will definitely cut them off
Alien Moonrock, Special queen & Radical Juice are in the harvest window
Tropi Mango will need more time, as will the Blackbomb, while the Tropimango and the smaller Highmars at least try to produce some buds, the Blackbomb unfortunately doesn't manage that, although unfortunately it never came out of the kink under the same conditions anyway and didn't even start the fight for the big ones in bloom, I suspect this is because I had the 2x4 tent too full.
The other 2 High Mars are nearly ready too Harvest thoo, Pheno 1 needs More time while Pheno 2 is for harvest but i would prefer to harvest alll the plants at the same time let's see how it turns out in the end
#Now the flowering days are also correct, I had a mistake in my thinking and had to count the days individually 😂
We have reached week 9 (FD 63) and harvest will be this week, the trichomes look good, unfortunately I don't have a good enough camera in my mobile phone to take a sharp photo through the microspoke as they are rather consumables & I use them until they give up instead of buying new ones every few years.
Yesterday the ladies were already defoliated once & the lamps were stepped down to 50% (mars hydro) and 60% (SanLight) for the last few days.
fertiliser was given for the last time yesterday and will now be prepared for harvest for the last week or a few days at most, as the trichomes will tell me
The tent has developed a mixture of citrus & pine arome. individual descriptions of the odour etc. will follow
