Last year I collected a lot of seeds, especially my favourite strain Lemon Tree. To this I added the new Lemon Cherry Gelato and germinated all these seeds to select the strongest ones. My plan is 4 Lemon Tree plants and one Lemon Cherry Gelato.
All the seeds have come out of the soil and the next few weeks will show how they will fare. I'm particularly curious about Black Cherry Gelato, as I haven't grown or smoked this strain yet.
The second week is over and the plants are growing at a rapid pace. The strongest individual seems to be Lemon Tree #2, which is growing really strong. Not much to write, except perhaps that I plan to have the vegetative phase for four weeks, and then switch the plants over to flowering.
The third week is over and the plants are growing and growing. Lemon Tree #2 is still in the lead, but the others are catching up. Well, except for Lemon Cherry Gelato, which is still in last place, but maybe it will move up. I defoliated the lowest leaves because they were in the way of watering. I also did some topping, because I'm going to switch the plants over to flowering in a week.
Note: TH-9 fertilizer was spray applied exactly ten days before the switch to flowering.
The fourth week of the growth phase is over. The plants have pulled up and are over half a metre tall and have leveled off in height, even LCG has caught up with the others. Only Lemon Tree #2 is a little taller. No significant problems have occurred, so I'll switch to flowering tomorrow. I'll change the lamp to one more suitable for flowering.
The first week of flowering is over. The plants have pulled up a bit and I am now threading the twigs through the individual meshes of the net. I have removed most of the leaves and twigs from under the netting, as with minimal light getting in, they are there for nothing anyway. I have also started using the CO2 Boost Natural CO2 Box to keep the CO2 levels up, because the bigger the plants get, the more CO2 they use. I can already see the first bright white pistils and the scent, which is still faint - thankfully :) In the next two weeks I expect the net to fill up and then the plants to be oriented exclusively towards flowering - the formation of buds.
Note: TH-9 was spray applied on the first day of flowering.
The second week of flowering is over and it was not a very happy week :-( Lemon Tree #1 turned out to be a hermaphrodite, so he had to get out of the round. You can see the empty spot in the photos, which is all I have left :-( I don't think the hermaphroditism was due to stress, as the other plants are fine and I can't even think of what would have caused the stress. So 99 percent bad genetics. Nature puts all the obstacles in our way :-) The flowering of the rest of the plants is progressing well and I just hope I've had all my bad luck.
Note: TH-9 was added to the other fertilizers this time exactly 10 days after the last spray application.
The third week is over. The plants have pulled up again and continue to flower. Compared to last week, there don't seem to be any problems. The flowers are forming calyxes and the trichomes are already visible, giving off a pleasant lemon scent.
Can wait to see how they look. I wish you could follow people's grows on here; I'm still trying to get the hang of the site.
Right now i'm growing lemon cake gelato, from a clone or at least that's what I was told it was, and I can't find any other information about this strain so I'm interested to see yours!
