Kalawi #2

KanOrganics This is Kalawi phenotype #2, a cross between two landraces: Kilimanjaro (World of Seeds) x Malawi (Ace Seeds)

KanOrganics I transplanted it this week. Looking good. It's a regular seed and could be a male, but we'll see.

KanOrganics It's looking great so far. Still has a bit to go before I move it to one of the flowering tents.

KanOrganics Still no clear signs of sex, but probably female given the age. Looking great so far.

KanOrganics I moved her into the flower tent under 12/12 at the start of this week and she sure likes to stretch a lot already.

KanOrganics Well, I'm starting to see buds, but it's been hot here and she is suffering some heat damage. This is normally the time of year where I shut down one of my tents to reduce the temperature in my lung room, but a couple flowering plants are taking a few weeks longer than expected. I culled a couple clones and this one may have to go too. Either that, or reveg it outdoors. It's just taking up too much space and I need to reduce the heat to help the other plants along. We'll see though. Maybe I'll get lucky the slowpoke plants will finish soon, or I might find another way.

KanOrganics Well she's starting to develop. Since this is a cross between two landraces, it's possible this could take 16 or so weeks to flower.

KanOrganics She is very very tall. I sure hope she doesn't stretch anymore, as I have about 2 inches left until she touches the light. I also do not want to super crop her (again) this late into flower when the meristem is woody and fragile, and I have no room (due to other plants) to tie down colas much. Fortunately, she is the best responder when it comes to high PPFD and heat tolerance. I see no visible issues (yet), unlike the three other plants in this tent, despite her being the closest to the light.

KanOrganics Summer heat is starting to take its toll on this plant, and humidity here is around 95%, so running an industrial-grade dehumidifier which puts out even more heat. Fun times growing in the summer here, heh. I did a massive defoliation on her today, along with the other 3 flowering plants in her tent, to try to reduce the transpiration/humidity accumulation.
