Under The Wild LED Sky 04

NoVC01 Week 12 Day 7 End Grow Program (8 full weeks). One plant didn't like the Cal-Mag and yellowed a little. Plant recovered and is bushy green and tolerates Cal-Mag.

NoVC01 Preflower Program 2 weeks duration (weeks 13 day 1 to Week 14 Day 7

NoVC01 Off to the races!

NoVC01 The genetics are spectacular. The plants are green through and through. Extremely few dead bottom leaves. I top my plants at 4 nodes. Sometimes I prune the bottom "falf". The bottom buds go to the wife for edibles. Most grows I chase the water amounts. This time when they established, I choose .75 gallons as follows: Day 1 Feed, Days 3, 4, 6 water (Ph down, Cal-Mag). I skip the day before feeding and the day after. Gives the plants better nutrient absorption (imo).

NoVC01 Week 17 tested the UVB bulbs lights off just to see their footprint. Maxed out the light canopy using the carabiner attached to the ceiling cross members. So far grow has been stellar and then I let them grow to 24” during growth. Now the canopy is 25”, plants stretched to 36.” Should be a 30+” canopy to accommodate the UVB exposure. Could have used the extra 6” from growth. Other previous pictures show same strain with different leaf patterns. To me it seems the seeds were F1/F2 and at least the one reverted back to a parent. Sugar leaves are frosting. Taller colas have been LST/Supercropped to maintain canopy. One Chocolate Kush cola I kinked over and it knuckled nicely. The buds on it really like it. Jury is out on the Bruce Banner. They are frosty and a little sticky but! Chocolate Kush will produce very large nuggets. Week 18 Day 3 All plants defoliated to improve bottom light exposure and bud development... Heat adjustment hassle. Outside intake air in 30°s. Room will run 78° during the day heaters off. Nighttime goes to 60° if I forget. So, the hassle is turning on the heaters before I close up the garden for the night. Settled for heaters off day/on night. Now 78°/70°. Still have to monitor outside air temps, Old school ways say top at four, never get rid of the fans. Will add defoliation in the third week of flower to my toolkit. Remembering the early 70’s, armed with Mel Frank’s “How to grow Marijuana.” and a large room full of growlux grow bulbs repleat with homemade tin roof fixture hoods. Growing scraggly assed sativas. Disaster! Total investment 0. Tommorrow Week 19 Day 1 Begin UVB @ 15 minutes on the hour 10am - 3pm (or when attached to crossbars or flower stretch complete and able to maintain canopy +24”). Stretch this grow was 36”. Canopy fixed at 24.” Adding 1/64th tsp dry P & K to nutrient mix.

NoVC01 Week 19 Day 1 Begin UVB Wk 19 (or when attached to crossbars or flower stretch complete and able to maintain canopy +24”) Stretch this grow was to 36”. Canopy fixed at 24.” Wk 19, Day 1 start UVB between 10am - 3 pm @ 15 minutes on the hour. (1½ hours total exposure). Wk 19, Day 4 footprint: 10 am @ 30 minutes; 12 pm @45 minutes; 2 pm @ 30 minutes. (1¾ hours total exposure). 1/64th tsp of both P & K added to the existing nutrient mix. Experiment! On week nine of soil feeding schedule. Week 20 Day 1 Feeding Schedule @ Wk 10 (start of week 5 of flower). Wk 20 Day 1 UVB footprint: 9 am @ 15 minutes; 10 am @ 30 minutes; 12 pm @ 45 Minutes; 2 pm @ 30 minutes; 3 pm @ 15 minutes. (2¼ hours total exposure). One heater running. At sunrise tent temperature 64° F. (outside air 28°F) Thought was, in the mountains at night it gets cold and then hot during the day. So now I am running 60°± - 78°. Week 20 Day 4 flush all plants @ 1 gallon per plant using FoxFarm’s Sledgehammer. Plants starting to get ugly. Calyxes these plant are quite large. Makes the buds look like oatmeal with a sprinkling of brown sugar. The plants will never be extremely frosty. Probably mid range not high THC. Of course this is only one week of UVB exposure. Result of extra P & K Wk 19 Day 1 - plants reacted differently, some had a little crimson in the stalks and stems, others a little yellowing a few leaves. Might have caused the flowers to stretch some. Not at toxicity stage. Two of the sevenplants were effected. Stick to the soil feeding schedule stupid!

NoVC01 Week 21 Day 1 Start of week. Week 11 of Soil Feeding Schedule. Last nutrient feed before harvest. Trichomes still clear. Calaxys swollen big time. Pistils turning inward copper orange. Still some white. Couple of plants, flowers still trying to grow. Causing some foxtailing or this could be the result of the extra P,K. (As an aside: PK Boosters are nutrient supplements that encourage plants to hit the flowering stage earlier by producing a chemical change within the plant. They contain both Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) which together will ensure increased flower size, potency and will speed up growth. https://ghedirect.co.uk Let's Talk About PK Boosters). So adding these to your mix is dicey. A very small amount can push your plants towards toxicity. Stalks and stems start to turn red, some leaves yellow and brown spot. Toxicity, the stalks will redden and begin frothing. Plants can still recover from this stress. Flush Flush Flush End of Flower Program - Day 7 of Week 21. Moving into Finish program. Sledgehammer once a week, weeks 22/1 and 23/1. All I did was top at 3, light prune, light defoliation. Nutrient feeding stopped. Ph water only. It certainly is Fall in my garden. One BB plant hasn’t turned yet. The CK grew as expected. This was 00 Seeds Sensi-star version. The runt seedling grew into a beautiful plant. BB were freebie seeds. I did not pay much attention to them. Both plants different phenos. One produced sativa like leads. The other put out a lot of weaker laterals. Whatever the sativa in the hybrid showed through. Unknown sativa hybrid. Lots of flower laden branches bending from the weight. Can’t wait to see her unleashed alone.

NoVC01 HARVEST I hate trimming. All employed bud trimmers should be given raises Chocolate Kush (sensi-star) The reason for this grow. I take the strain for granted. Been growing and using the mazur cross for a long time. Yield was Number 2 this grow (per plant). Still they averaged 5 oz bud each. This is a good plant for medicine. Good cross of CK. Sensi-star not as intense as the mazur. Comes on good, happiness wells up in your throat and it grips and relaxes the body. Head is slight and focused. Floral smell with that THC grip into your senses. Smoke is strong, some sweetness, not harsh. This will work for the condition it treats. DRYING RACK About drying, I grew up in the age of hanging plants upside down to dry because it increased the THC.. Can argue, but it was a myth. Still I continued hanging upside down for years. Always hated the wait! Bought the rack, 8 tiers. Handles my harvest. The drying process is quick 2-3 days. You must monitor the moisture, or it will quickly suck it right out of the weed. The rack provides a quick route into cure. Sprout to finish!! Under The Wild LED Sky.

NoVC01 I hate trimming. All employed bud trimmers should be given raises Bruce Banner: (Yield 10.1 oz) These were freebie seeds Had 10 beans landed up with 2 plants. A 3rd sprout did come up in the batch. Yield wise BB comes in last. The two phenos I grew had much potential but I didn’t tend to them. One plant shined through on its sativa side in its structure. The other was closer to the intake air and purpled some it was bushy and put out a lot of weak but flowered laterals. At top of rack, dried quick (first to jar). Flowers are a silver blue-green. Taste is familiar, a mild version of being “that” weed one likes. Now I know it has the musty taste of early Jamaican weed during the columbian era. Turns on fairly quickly, serious mood, a little intense and somewhat introspective. Much later you realize your down. Sprout to finish!! Under The Wild LED Sky.

NoVC01 I hate trimming. All employed bud trimmers should be given raises Sativa Hybrid (yield 10.6 oz) I called it. The weed has haze in it!. Smoked a doob while writing this. High as a kite. Pretty happy! Put it down a couple times. Long lasting. Cured, this shit will be good. Wish I knew its origin. Nice to smoke some green weed. Second to manicure and jar. Buds are loose thai bud green and rather sandy looking. This was the 3rd sprout that came up in the BB batch. Yield wise this plant comes in First. Was the plant that had a flower on top of one of the mains. She put out a lot of heavily flowered branches and some big colas. Sprout to finish!! Under The Wild LED Sky.
