In House Royal Jelly

Very cold weather pushed back the flip because I flower in an insulated shed outside, but it can't handle temps below 15 degrees. 105 days of veg total. I topped in the 3rd week then again in weeks 5, 7 and 9 (only bc I knew I'd be in veg for weeks longer). ONLY Coco Loco in a 1g carried her through to 105 days, with only 1 top-dress (about an inch) of Coco Loco with Grow Dots (medium strength). Top-dress happened in week 8.

Exactly 2 wks later. And a week after I really wanted to flip but had to wait.

Wk 1 of Flower, in the 3x2 tent which is inside the big shed outside so temp and rh control are critical. AC Infinity T3 Forge is a GODSEND, maintaining 73F - 40rh all day and night with only 500w! Oyster Shell and Grow Dots (medium) in COCO LOCO 3g pot. I will probably top-dress in Week 7-8 depending on how she looks. Recharge every other Water, Armor Si and CalMag every Water. WxxxxxWxxxxxW is my sched.

No changes from Week 1 of flower. I defoliated, stripped out some smaller branches the same day.

More of the same - 1 water this week (Calmag and Recharge) @ 6.5ph. Was worried about the stretch but I stripped a bit out in Wk1 and may have stunted them a little. You can barely tell now, but they're only going to get so much bigger. Using the T3 Forge (Heater) and it's keeping temps locked in but rh a little low (35-40). Lollipop'd again 20 days in (1st time I did it a week earlier than I should've- in day 4 of flower) and this time she's super-happy and reaching the next day. What that early lollipop also did was make the node-spacing the best I've ever seen at this point of flower. barely an inch between nodes so we'll see how that goes. This Royal Jelly is a bit of a test run, even after 3 yrs of growing I wanted to learn some new shit, to see what 90+ days of veg looks like, what an early defol does (no that wasn't in the plan but still), and when to harvest for the most sedative, head-cracking results. RJ isn't a strain I know, but my 4 Chem Cookies (GMO) will hopefully benefit from being a month behind. Va is hopefully done with sub-20 weather, which is all I need with the new heater (and it's only 500w compared to the 1500w fire-hazards I was using to keep my shed warm) and I'll get another for the big tent, just bc it regulates the temp/rh so well.

Defoliation in wk1 definitely affected the stretch. She should've grown another foot, but I was too aggressive soon after flipping (and transplanting) I lollipop'd, in fact, more than defol'd and stripped out too much. I never expected a favorite strain out of this grow because I started it in Oct just to see what I could get away with. Still she's doing great, and I'll take it as an important lesson right before (what I hope is) a big ass high-thc GMO grow that's finishing Veg right now. Inhouse has impressed me so many times so I'm still optimistic about the quality but I just love to grow so regardless this has been a fun one. Watered with just Calmag @ 6.5. and still doing 5 days without watering. Still very green and healthy but colder weather means the heater kicks on more, which brings rh down to 30% but it should warm up next week. And I'll learn from it, seeing how healthy they are. No signs they need a top dress at all, but when my past grows have failed/sucked, signs appeared in wks 6-7-8 so I'm watching more closely, and giving Calmag to the end (in Coco Loco). I'll wait to add Sweet for a week or two, Thanks for visiting and good luck out there!👊😤
