The buds above the lights are the same size as that of buds under the lights. The "upper" buds seem to fox-tail a little more than the others, but all of them fox-tail!

So far, so good. The Dr amazingly grows similar sized buds above the light level as she grows buds behind the lights. Buds are small in general.
I fertigate her once a day, 0.4 g/L of the base fertilizer. Inflow conc is 550 ppm (ca,. 1100 uS/cm), and I think I may be slightly underfertilizing. I plan to raise the concentration 150 ppm within two weeks and see if she tolerates that amount.
What's fantastic in these long flowering strains, that it seems one has all the time in the world to plan and make changes, in the end, there's so much time to recuperate in case of an inconvenience!
Day 107 (29-12) It consoles me that even the infortunate grow disadventures of mine with this "stretchy sativa" I think the journey will turn out successful. Let's some in April! (perhaps somewhat earlier, I dunno)
If not for yields, which I reckon thwy may not be as large as I wanted (if for big yield was the original intention of growing this strain I wouldn't grow this one specially -which is know not ot be a big yielder, it was the desire of the experience of growing this noble and beautiful landrace (heirloom) sativa. by myslef...and I have 4 more seeds ;)
I raised EC with 0.5 g/L Bloom fertilizer per liter solution, keeping all the other ingredients constant, in concentration and order of mixing.
Every day I have the extra work of inspecting the colas to see whether they are being damaged by heat and eventually apart them from the cobs, etc., but in general, I thank God this could have been even much worse. Luckily she resists both the high indoor temperatures (31 ºC by this date, when outside temperatures are of that order), and pro-silicate additive may have been useful to resist heat, as Grotek claims.
Hey there , go for it and lollipop chayton said it all really just want to add go on with a razor blade and cut off the flower nodes down there too , bandage with some opaque tape . Removing flower nodes will do a lot to get the benefits of lollipopping . Hope this helps ! 🚀
Wao that's gonna be a long journey @Gabarram ! Nice 100% Sativa.... Good Luck mate! Happy growing! Nice detailed start! I am going to follow this progress ! ✌️
Nice diary comments. A little bit of info on the plant woudnt go amiss.
Lovely germination process and nice looking seedling. 🌱
Best wishes on your 1st diary. 🍀
@Gabarram, I have one seed as well but I am not ready to plant it, it takes long to be done... Well, use some LST try to make it more flappen, twist it carefully it may help. This is the transition stage early flowering well she does it very well :D so I am gonna get ready for that as well based on it! Thank you! Good Luck mate! ;)
@Ferenc, thank you very much for the words, perhaps "terrifying" suits more than "crazy" imo
I don't know how much more she's willing to keep on stretching and I can't raise the lights more 🙏
I think (not measured yet) she may be around 100 cm. Cheers
@Darkuau, thank you very much for your faithful support.
Yes, it was worth the effort...This was a journey full of thrill and adventure.
A strain full of surprises!
Super crop if she gets too tall. Enjoy!
I have two Doc Grin beans, excited to start them indoors in Feb, then put in the ground in the hoop house after the last frost. 🤞
@growdoctordc, I have never supercropped in flowering but I' ll pluck up courage to do that if I have to, today I did it with just one tall shoot, and I'll keep on doing it if deemed necessary.
I thought that if the shoot's tips got a bit above the light's level, this would discourage the shoots to keep on stretching, but it seems not, so supercropping is the only way just to stop them growing vertical at this stage.
Thank you very much for the advice, I wish for your seeds a happy germination and 💪 seedlings.
@LandOfTheBigBaboon518, thank you very much, indeed this is the first time I see this phenomenon
I've always grown hybrids and autoflowerings and this is completely another thing.
