Not much to say really. Shit has been vegging forever in my living room waiting for the tent to cycle out of flower with my previous (first) round. 3 clones, 1 experimental bag seed codename: #5, and one re-veg, experiment #2, aka. maiden of berries.
Well, the plants have been in the tent for veg for a whole week now. I ended up cutting the SD clone and dumping the bag in an attempt to control a fungus gnat explosion. So far, 3 days or so after the scare things seem calm and quiet inside, only 2 gnats on the sticky trap. Pests aside, I recently got an array of RAW nutrients, and made a foliar spray of kelp, nitrogen and full up. Plants seem to love it so far. In the front is MOB (6 week flower) on the left, Green Crack (12-14 week flower) on the right, with experiments number #5 back left and #2 back right. #2 is a re-veg from my first grow because it is one of the best strains I've had in a while.
Well, GC, and MOB have been topped a lot, and are in the final stretch of veg before the tent goes back into flower status. #5 is looking good for what it is, an experiment, so here's hoping its female. I might end up adding 2 plants to this tent grow from my friends current veg cycle to solve a logistics issue and not sacrifice any plants. The 2 that will be added this weekend are also MOB plants cloned from the same line as the one i had LST and topped, but they're much taller since they were under far better growth conditions for the last month. #2 will hopefully move to the friends place this weekend to become a mother for cloning the strain in perpetuity.
Built a two-tier scrog for this grow. Should be able to take apart pretty easily to reuse. I'll add more comments as the week develops.
Updated: Lowered the upper-tier scrog slightly on Thursday.
Gave them first molasses on Monday. First trichs around the buds on Tuesday. Second watering of molasses today (wednesday). Hard to believe they got 4-5 weeks to go. Friend ran the MOB for 7 weeks flower, but thinks it needs 8. I have a feeling I might finish around 7. We'll see!
Everything is developing well. Having some issues maintaining my humidity and temperatures with the seasonal changes. Some spots of WPM showing up here and there and the fungus gnats had a recent spawn. Fuck pests!
Started using a little neem oil around the pots and above the canopy to try and fight the gnats and small pockets of wpm, so far seems pretty mitigated. Looking pretty sugary. My guess is 2.5-3.5 more weeks from now. (11/12)
Update: 11/15 lots of changes over the past few days. they're drinking more and ripening up, smooth sailing from here.
Just realized this was a week behind. Whoops! Things are starting to firm up and really puff. been battling some WPM, and fungus gnats, but beyond that, should be a nice yield to enjoy for the holidays.
Edit 11/23: updated the nutrient/light/temp/humidity data for the week. Honestly, I'm not hardcore with that data (here) yet. Next run maybe. lol
Just finished flushing them. Last feed was on Wednesday last week. Buds are looking tight and frosty. I also have my Viparspectra on "Bloom" only last week or so. WPM seems to have settled down its assault / I managed it with some neem oil. I plan on doing a h202 bath after I cut just for good measure. If you don't know what I'm talking about, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7jE7qzfgQs
Update Wednesday 11/29: Chopped plants, washed with H2O2, cleaned the tent with diluted bleach water, cleaned the fabric pots.
Alright so harvest is pretty much done and curing in progress. If I'm being honest, I wasn't expecting much out of this run. The particular strains I had taken off my friend ended up being the weakest performers of his sets, so the bar was set low for quality expectations. The MOB came out better than it did at my friend's place, a little more body and a bit more trichome density. It smokes nice, its smooth, no real harshness or thick bitter body to the smoke or vape. Tastes a little flowery with a hint of citrus/fruit. Not doing a separate harvest post for the GC because it was so small, added it to total count.
I started this run with 3 clones from my friend's place and some experimental bag seeds i started this summer. One of the clones never made it, one of the experiments is living at my friend's place for propagation. The two clones i had were in too big of a pot for too long so they stunted pretty hard. I added 2 more clones that were vegged at my friends place before i flowered and that's basically Run-2.
@CaliGrown, I am really liking the raw line up, I feel like it gives me more control over what they're actually 'eating' at any given time than a bottle mix. Your comment on the gnats made me laugh because its too real lol.
She finished beautifully buddy. You did a fantastically and amazing job. Those buds looks so beautiful. I'm salivating imagining smoking them. I can't wait to see what your next harvest looks like. Cheers buddy!
@ProfoundWeedium,awesome stuff man I just seen screens and thought maybe was using dehydrator , I've got access to one at work but not tried yet as not seen anyone use before and don't want to destroy a crop , I currently have exhaust fan run through my wardrobe and small fan circulate the air inside does the trick in mean time . 😀
@Fergie, Thanks, and, no, i hang dried them for about a day and half before the apartment humidity really sapped them, (earlier than I'd like, of course) then I got them into jars and I've been airing/ setting them out on the screen periodically until my jar humidity temps are consistently around 65%.
Hi mate, the plants are looking so great, congratulations. I have a small problem, I took the plants to the flowering period. Its been almost 3 weeks but the buds are so small nearly they cannot be seen. Its my first planting, so if you look at my diary and give me advices, I would be so thankfull. Best regards, and good harvest. 🙂
