Week 20 update - she’s really starting to show off now. Figure we’re going through to mid-Oct. for the finish so let’s hope the weather (and the thieves) leave us alone. No issues, some slight nitro deficiency which is typical of most of our outdoor grows. Manageable and she’s still getting the occasional shot of nutes when opportunity arises. Thanks for check’n er out yall👊
Background
For those who don’t already know, Humboldt Seed Organization hails from the Emerald Triangle of Northern California, a region that consists of Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity Counties. A growing region for cannabis that can be likened to the Bordeaux wine region of France, it’s origins are as infamous as they are notorious. The region’s cannabis history sprung from hippy communes dating back to the 60’s . But like any other lucrative, illicit endeavour, it wasn’t all flowers and sunshine. Illegal marijuana cultivation brought out the best, and the worst in the many people who flocked to the region over the decades. Those so inclined saw an escape from “typical society” in the mountains while in some cases others - not so inclined, would disappear from society altogether. At one point, this region was purported to be responsible for 90% of the cannabis supply across the country (and probably a good part of the market up here in Canada too I’d imagine).
Bottom line: these folks have been do’n it LOUD for more than 50 years and deserve our respect ✊ for their efforts. 707 Headband is a cross of True Ocean Grown and a Mendocino Elite clone. Sativa dominant, the high is supposed to be very cerebral - like wearing a headband of it😉😎. We can only hope that our attempt at growing this bit of awesomeness lives up to the reputation that it’s Breeders have earned through experience. This was supposed to be the years indoor capstone grow but due to other issues, she’s ended up outside under the sun where she belongs. She is however, in our best and most vulnerable spot😬😬😬. Thanks for take’n a look👊 - this ones gonna be good if she makes it all the way👌😎
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, hey hey - u folks wanted a quick tag once I had this one on the grow soooo.... here ya go! We’re hoping to impress and make u guys proud with this one 👍🤞👊
That burn is odd. Seems to be some bleaching of the singles too. Little on tips of her trues.
Have you tested your run off? Could be magnified water burns if your spraying her often under the lights. 🤷♂️
Regardless, looks like she’s pulling/pulled through 👍
@CRiSPrGrow, just whispers homie😉! Lol - and yeah the magnifying glass/misting theory is definitely likely - gotta be it cuz she really hadn’t much in the way nutes by then anyway. Either way thanks for ring’n in as always bro👊
@TheBudWhisperer, doesnt look like nutrient burn because no other leaf is really affected and you're not seeing any other symptoms, remember by the time the burn happens the problem might have been there a while already. Over misting makes sense, maybe the leaf was curling a bit from the humidity or temperature difference and the dew drops collected on the tip making a bigger drop that didnt evaporate long quick enough making that magnifying glass effect etching a mark on the tip because of the light. but you cant really say for sure, have you tried talking to it and asking her maybe? 🚀
@MovingOn, lol - sorry bout that! Yeah night temps are like 5c so freak’n cold! Realistically we can’t push this much farther and she’s come’n down this weekend. She’s turned over really well last few days so should be perfect spot for chop👍👊
@FrostRailz, thanks for the kind words.🥥! Just lett’n her do ‘er thing and this is the result👌. Just gotta make it through the next few days and alls good🤘🤘😎
@spacetaste, yes and thankfully NO! Lol. The webbing is due to a resident spider (see photos in week 22 - def. not a mite 😉) that’s been lookn after this girl the last month or so. She’s been workn hard to keep the rest of the bugs at bay and doing a great job👍. Unfortunately and if the plant makes it the next week - she’s getting evicted😎😉👍. Thanks for swing’n in👊
@BarrieGrower, nail biting days in this area my friend. While we’ve gotten lucky so far and no one appears to be snooping around, I won’t be comfortable until this girl is chopped down.👊
@mr_h_kovert, cheers homie👊. I’m givibn this one another week and then take’n er down. Just praying to god we make it there before someone notices er and decides they want some🤞🤞🤞. Some sleepless nights ahead my friend😉
Looking great! I wish I had the space to do an outdoor grow. Love the idea of a 13 week veg. Also, if I was going to do an outdoor grow, I'd use Humboldt genes too! Good luck with the harvest and the finish!
@NorCalCloset, thanks very much dude. She’s on the dry now and should have update posted soon. Can’t say enough about HSO this plant went off like mad.👌
@TheBudWhisperer, My Honey Cream is getting dark purple but nothing like yours. Still like 10 more days or so till harvest. I hope she get even more purple.
I just love seeing all those strange colours. 😀
@Satori_Hanso, cheers dude and yeah! She faded super nice in the home stretch. She’s even got some rusty brown tinge to the fans too. Should have more photos up after the chop this weekend. Thanks for swing’n in with the kind words!😎👊👊
TBW - she looks great! My 707s did that EXACT same thing, and it’s an easy fix. As both of us have found, she does turn down in the evenings. I thought at first under watering so gave her a drink. Then I thought maybe overwatering, but the defined claw wasn’t there. I just happened to give her food the next day, and man oh man, she was as stiff as an 80 year old trying Viagra for the first time.
She’s hungry, give her some food! I bet she’ll reward you. Seeing as you’re already attached, make the leap. She still droops at night, but not near as much.
PS - my girls have for sure flipped. Maybe 3-5 days in. I suspect yours are there or are close depending on your location.
@sKitzO, very interesting. I had originally started her in coco for an indoor grow and just assumed she wasn’t happy with the nute regimen which is why I moved her outside to do her own thing. May have just been something else (maybe even the medium) that was making her unhappy. Regardless I was thinking the exact same myself now that I’ve already got attachment issues. She def. seems to be moving into flower and nows about the right time to throw some bloom nutes at er - so will do. Thanks for input! Very much appreciated and hopefully, we see the end of this with a harvest. Cheers!👊
Good luck! After my current grow I'll be doing an HSO plant as well. Their version of blue dream, and it will be half of my first sativa grow. Doing a couple low growers right now though since I'm still a noob.
@TheBudWhisperer, will do! We might be running the blue dream at the same time then.
Right now I'm doing The Church by the Green House Seed Co, and Holy Grail Kush by DNA Genetics. The HGK looks to be pretty promising.
@MovingOn, dude that’s awesome - as part of my last seed order I got this 707 as well as their blue dream too! I’m running the blue dream right after this one so still a few months out. Please let me k ow once you get the diary up on it. I’ll def. tag along on that one for sure to get some intel.👍👊. What u running right now anyway?
Now that's one beautifully looking, outdoor grown 707 Headband 🤗
By the look of things your in the end game now and looking set for a very nice harvest 👏👏
Now we know where this diary is we will drop back in prior to harvest 🤗
With love from Humboldt County ✌️
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, thanks very much for for that. She’s coming down in short order and lookn to be an all-time👌. You guys are running some terrific beans out there! Keep up the good work👊
Looking good brother 👍. We have similar pheno’s but I’d peg yours a week or more behind. Likely local 😜
She’s looking frosty! Keep it up. Only 5-6 more to go 🤦♂️
@sKitzO, no doubt bud. I’d say about half way there through flower and update shoulda gone up yesterday. She’s also colouring out a bit now and you’ll see that in the new photos. If she makes it I’ll be in heaven. I can’t wait to try this strain👍. Hope alls well dude👊
