Week 8, concluding the eight week of vegetating:
Hi(gh) guys!
Life had yet another surprise in store this week, the night from Mon 16 to Tue 17 apparently my family, myself included picked up some virus. But it was not earlier than Thu 19 that I could found enough energy to simply give water! After that I’d lay horizontal the rest of the day again. I’m back on top now, only the plants had it tough. The shortage of water made them consume some lower leafs as seen on the picture. Also, and more important in terms of progress this week was mostly retarded. I’d opted to take yet another week extra because of that.
Every time I have to at least move the plant-tie along the branches to prevent from damaging the branches, or break altogether, because that is the risk if you just leave them. The space between two pieces of plant-tie stretches, but if the plant-tie doesn’t budge it will push the branch into breaking itself.
I must see if growing kicks in again how they develop later this week, but I guess to better forget about an easy way to let the lower branches grow to the level of the upper ones. Because the lower four branches won’t be able to do that. I’m going to use those branches from each plant to make some seeds of each pheno, using colloidal silver water. I could make pollen with the two lower branches, and later germinate the two above for the seeds. I could save all the seeds until I know which pheno is the nicest, after vaping them. And then you have seeds that pop seedlings that look very similar to the selected pheno. I don’t know how stable these plants will be, but at least that gives me a way to save a very nice pheno until later without having to mess with cuttings and stuff.
next week i'll photograph plant C better, forgot it this time.
I’m looking forward to see you back and check on the Gold Bar’s progress next week!
Grtz, Budcrack ;-)
I don't know the solution, but even though the pic is fuzzy, I can see an eye and some legs, that is definitely a thrip. If you Google Image that, you'll see right away that's what it is.
Hi Bud, 20 weeks of grow=? omg... iam not that patient.
Girl looks wonderful, and the thripse are under control... sounds grat looks great. Happy flush
@Mrs_Larimar, hi, yeah well i'm hoping to reach a certain level of quality, and my Gen. I Led-lights don't eactly hurry things up, so it takes longer to reach that point. That would be my best exp, only also realizing the longer a grow takes, the bigger the chance to pic up some pest! Thanks, nice to hear 👊
Hello friend. How are you? I haven't written to you in a long time. Do you still smoke the buds from the last harvest?😜
I'm running out of staff. 😩
I've started a new cycle, check it out!👊
