Mixed graft summer grow 7 strains

zauberwald_genetics Solid start phase with grafting of 5 strains last week in VW3, topping at 4th main node, defoliation of upper leaves to promote branch growth. 4/5 grafts survived, main plants were fertilized with slow release Biotabs and greenhouse feeding bio grow. Manual watering as of now. Plants regaining strength, grafts standing up and developing. Corners were cut today to acclimate, then the bags will be removed after another week. Will let the plants and branches develop and use low stress training to get a full canopy and allow grafts to develop, then will be scrogged. Happy to see where this is going, Humboldt strains worry me bc of herm chances. Strains should finish simultaneously

zauberwald_genetics Plants were stressed a lot, some drooping leaves, may be due to over watering, will get no water today. Plastic bags were removed, grafts accepted the new environment. Sour D x Zoda cut has deficiencies, may be due to the graft, but the mother of the graft also showed deficiencies. May need other feeding, we will see how they do

zauberwald_genetics Switched the girls to 14/10 to initiate flower and will kick them into 12/12 in a few days. Plants were top dressed with lurpe tasty flowers as recommended, don't know how much exactly, I believe 70g per 15l pot. Plants doing great, scrog was also a success, good canopy coverage. Will see how they do with that many tops, I may take some away later. Sadly the grafts were slow to mature but they will at least have one solid branch each. Plants show yellow tips due to light deprevation but they are greener than the photos make them look. Switched to automatic watering via Blu mat. Happy so far, just VPD is not good and temps are way too high but that is a reoccurring problem with my setup

zauberwald_genetics Plants in 12/12 for a week now, stretch is starting, light intensity was increased to 200W and LED will soon be switched for Sanlight EVO 4-120 with 225W. Stretch still moderate, overwatering was resolved, now they look more vital. More yellowing but still normal for light switch. Let's keep it going. Grafts sadly very underdeveloped/low, will keep that in mind for future grafts, they need time to fuze and start developing. If you use a branch on the upper canopy you will probably do fine.

zauberwald_genetics HERM ALARM: the Oreoz kosher by Old-school Genetics pushed out Nanas on 1/3 of all branches and was thus mostly culled. The Grafts on the oreoz kosher remained intact, I want to see if all the energy goes into the two branches and if they also herm, considering plant hormones as well as HSC being prune to herming. The other two plants got the scrog supreme, this helped me with the problem of soooo many tops this run but I am still very sad. Canopy coverage is decent, this will be bad for overall return though and I really wanted to taste the Oreoz kosher. A little bummer, Herms make me sick atp. I most likely will only work with a strict selection of breeders onwards. Light is now a Sanlight EVO 4-120, I already love it

zauberwald_genetics Solid week, really stretched and started to really flower, no nanners spotted but some stigmas turning brown with the violetti strain, could be heat induced. Will have to do a thorough search, 4 branches were pollinated with frozen regular pollen of a jelly runtz (guava jelly by conscious genetics x runtz) just for funzies. Heat is hitting hard

zauberwald_genetics The girls are thriving, the pollenation with the jelly runtz did not seem to work, the pollen was maybe a year old, I did feel a bump when pushing one single calyx in a node though, maybe I will get a handful out of it, that would be more than enough for me. Let's do strain talk: (P1) The violetti by Umami is so far disappointing. No big terps, no trichome masses, too much nodal spacing for my liking. Decent plant overall, very tall. Gives me some G41 vibes? (P2) The pink sour peaches (karma) is interesting, nice buds with solid trichs and a nice terp profile, sweet, sour, some gas notes, not that much yet. Some yellowing, probably needs some nutes. (P3) The pineapple and bananas (old-school)? Wow! I was writing him off because of the herm but this is a monster. Terpy, frosty, this one little bud. Incredibly fruity sweet, I somehow need to save this. The plants will probably be hopefully revegged. Really looking forward. (P4) The Blueberry muffin (HSO)??? What a showstopper, I already was so surprised in the last week, pushing out terps and trichs before everybody. Now the terps went from off-blueberry-smelly socks to straight up beautiful blueberry and nice muffin dough, auch a strong aroma and crazy trich coverage. This plant will only yield a few g but hopefully a reveg will help. This makes me want to grow more HSO although I don't like their herm rate. The sour d x Zoda (Umami) is nothing special, no terps, no trichs, no mention. Hella Jelly (HSO) nothing special, some nutrients deficiency, not much trichs, terps are fruity-sweet and average. Lovely week, much info, imma keep you updated.
