Have a good weekend! G

In the future if I figure out that this plant just grows with tight inter-nodal spacing independent of light variables, I may conclude that this plant would be better ran in a SOG setup with a higher plant count and no topping. Could be very dense colas but we will see! -Gave them their first feed at the end of this week so we will see how they do. I usually do a feed, microbe, plain water, watering cycle when I run bottles. -Hopefully they put some tops out up higher into the canopy soon! Enjoy G

Probably not enough though because they are pretty flat. -I think in the future I will try to manage the plants less and let them stretch up a bit more then defoliate to let them stack up. G

Fantastic shots I will say! G

Apologies for not finishing this diary up back earlier this year. Seems like an absolute lifetime ago. Since this harvest, I have had major life changes like a new kiddo, and a few changes of scenery. Your boy is back though and I have some exciting stuff to share with everyone here. 👊 I am the type of person that takes very detailed notes and that was especially true for these testers. Part of my due diligence. Below are my harvest notes from January 23rd, 2020: Growth: -Plants did not display any noticeable nutrient deficiencies that would indicate a need for more than normal feed amounts. -Plants both had a great flat bush like with minimal topping, leaf tucking, finger training (pop and twist). -Plants grew with wonderful vigor when temperatures were above 65F at night. -Plants did not appear to like below 60F temperatures at night, almost ceasing growth and significantly increasing flower time. -One of the two plants turned dark purple/black in the final 2 weeks of flower. -The purple pheno was much skinnier than the green pheno in terms of cola development. Plant yielded less as well but only slightly. -Grown with organic bottles and top dresses for cal mag, along with recharge in veg and mammoth p in flower. -LED grown Smells: -Both plants have a similar, yet extremely complex and unique odor: perfume/musk/aftershave/pine -In addition time the smells above, the purple pheno also has an amazing mint chocolate chip smell. Maybe in a Rasta Jeff style description, the purple pheno would be “like if your grandpa was wearing a slightly feminine cologne, sitting in an ice cream parlor, eating a cup of mint chocolate chips.” 😆 Effects: My testing method is to smoke the tester for the first smoke of the day, after a full 9 hour work day sober, and for two single bowls, separated by 1-2 hours. I do this for 3 days then report back. Both had similar effects noted below: -Calming body stone with some behind my eyes. Red eyes. -Relaxing, but not couch locking. -I know these old labels don’t hold up more but it feels like the more indica side of your lines unlike most of what I’ve grown recently. -Seems to make me crave discussion about passionate topics, but not in a Lemon Jeffrey way if that makes sense. It doesn’t feel like my thoughts and mouth are racing. Cheers to everyone who followed along! G
