here we go again 😀
lately I felt like I really want to taste some strains like 15- 20 years ago .. so I decited to go on some pheno hunts to hopefully find some nice oldschool strains and safe a mother of my favorite of every stain.
Its also my first pheno hunt or at least the first planed one 😅
this will be the first run for the first two strains and will be pretty skunk heavy 😋😍😁
wish me luck 😉!
Still not a lot of action but they starting to grow a bit faster now , startet feeding them 1/4 of the original Hesi feeding chart this week .
Most of them are fine just two of the orange bud are struggeling and looking kinda funny.
I would usually put them in bigger pots at this point , but I m still waiting for my new tent to arrive ( had some shipping problems/ delay 😕)
hopefully it will arrive this week so I can give them more space soon 😊
happy growing ! see ya next week 😁
They got bigger pots and they moved into their new home , we ll see how they like it . So far they growing good . just this two plants that look like they exploded ^^ but even they look a bit better now
all growing good so far, soon I have to sort out the male plants and start training them. some of them show some deficiencies .. Im courious if it will stop soon , they should get enough nutrients for the moment.
a lot of male plants got picked out mid week ... I m left with 9 plants atm but we will see how much females will stay at the end. I will try to take some polen out of each strains male and freeze it , who knows if it ll come in handy some day . I probably wont get a lot of skunk #1 in this run (I started with 6 plants of the strain and so far 3 turned out male ) so far at least one of them shows some pistills :)
they still get monitored twice a day... so far I just got 3 female orange bud and one female skunk #1. I m hoping for some more xD . I topped them yesterday and hope they ll bush up a little more till I sorted the rest of them out .
still got no further pre flower signs out of them but I m in no hurry anyway. They got the first defoliation today , I picked everything on the inner lower branches
they are still growing good but one of them started to show some nut. deficiency , they will get the normal dose in the hesi schedule from tomorrow on.
They got the second defoliation this week , I try to keep the lower branches in the light to get them to strech some more.
Happy growing folks ;)
they keep on growing ^^ ... today was the last day of week 9 and the last week of veg. I flipped the time to 12/12 today .. I still have two of the plants unsexed so I have to keep an eye on them ... happy growing everyone !
hello everybody 👽 ,
so first week of flower is over and not to much happend , the two orange bud in the far left corner were streching the most.
but I m still wating for some defenite flowering signs from at least 3 of them ( one has shown some tiny little pistils but plant hermaphrodites are sneaky little buggers in my experience)😆😉
so I will probably have a close eye on them for at least the next 3 weeks
one of the "girls" is pretty droopy for more than a week now (a second one acts the same sometimes ) , they all get watered every second day +- but I also let them dry out quite good once a week to prevent any flys from showing up ... I also thought it would stop the drooping but so far it didnt 😒
they also got their weekly haicut ( I picked a lot of leafes from the inside of the plant for better airflow and some to get a lot of coverd shoots back into the light )
I also put an extra 250 Watt sodium vapor lamp into the tent for some extra light and heat, to hopefully bring up the temp. and get them going propperly ....
happy growing and till next week 😎
😎
all of them started streching this week but still very little progress ...I put some of the plants on some foamboard cuttings to level them all out and keep the distance to the lamp the same.
I had to sort out 4 more plants cause they were starting to develop pollen sacs 😭 so I m down to 3 plants , all of them orange bud 😅 so no more skunk #1 plants are left ... I m acctually not very impressed , 6 out of 10 seeds of the skunk seeds germinated, 4 of them turned male and 2 of them developed into hermies ...
on the orange bud team 9 out of 10 seeds germinated ... 3 of them turned male and 3 of them ended as hermies
... I didnt expect that kind of result to be honest ^^
Hi everyone ,
I guess I have to accept that I wont get a lot out of this run.
the remaining orange bud plants probably wont win a price ether 😅 the smell of the two bigger one s are not that impressive , the smallest (the one with the least stretch ) is allright and she s probably the one I ll work with in the end .
Over all I would have expected a bit more than 3 female s out of 20 seeds ...
The Plant in the front on the right side is a small mother I put in to fill in the empty space a little
here we go aigain 😁
they ´re still doing ok ... one of them (pheno 3) is probably not going to win this round 😅
I ll try pheno 1 in one more grow but all together I´m still not to impressed ... but you cant win every time ;)
I got some reg. power plant and some reg. shaman seeds from dutch passion as a consolation and I still got reg. blueberry from them in the fridge , so there will be another pheno hunt fore sure ...
happy growing everyone !!😇👽
I started flushing today ... I could probably let them grow for one or two more weeks , but due to some lack of space and the fact that I just found some thrips on the pineapple cookie "tent filler plant" I will start now and try to keep them as clean as possible till harvest ... at least I couldnt find a lot of them just some on the lowest brachnes ...
after 3 intense washings and some days for them to get clean xD I cut them ... I cleaned them from all the bigger leafes and hung them up to dry by around 45-55 % and 15-20°C for about 1 week .. then they get trimmed and I put them in paper bags for abaout another week under the same conditions ...cant wait to test it :)
I found 2 pheno s I want to work with .. I cloned one of them and I will try them again soon
hi, don't take this the wrong way, or seeing as in the diary you were still looking for and removing the males but did you notice the change in light? at least I wait for them to at least come into flower to say male or female or hermaphrodite a week after the change you are usually sure that they are male or female, and it seems really strange that out of twenty plants 17 males have emerged, isn't it that you are wrong and are blaming the seeds? I repeat, this is not a criticism but a question to make you think and understand if perhaps you made the mistake and don't realize it.
@Franco123, Hi , I know what you mean and I tried to figgure out what it was that I could have done wrong there ... but due to the fact that almost all of the skunk and a lot of the orange bud plants created a lot of extra shoots instead of a pre flower , I thought more in a genetic direction . Its pretty rare to me to get no pre flower after 4-5 weeks and it never happend that I got that much shoots instead even till (flower) week 3 ..
If you have any idea what could have caused it , Im absolutly open for suggestions ;)
@gottagrowsometime, I allready did .. they will send some other reg. seeds ( or at least that was the last thing they told me) ...
we will see ... Its not like i didnt expect any hermies , but not that much and especially not from the skunk #1 strain !
