Week 15, concluding the third week of flowering:
Hi(gh) guys!
I’m really proud of the Gold Bar’s! They look super healthy. Plant A is the most beautiful plant, plant C is also very nice. Plant B has two big offshoots that became too long, so I’d LST’ed them down. One half of plant B didn’t grow as good as A did, but otherwise there very much comparable pheno’s. That fault was on my side.
The smell is developing only faint at this point. But with seven weeks to go, there’s enough time to become strong, and there is no doubt in my mind that it will. This photoperiod strain is better able to withstand draught then my other Smoothie autos are, but my inexperience with large plants like these taught me to water every single day. Plant B in this case had suffered the most damage from watering too little on two occasions, but there getting 500ml every day now.
I’ve had little sneak-peek inside the paper bags. There’s not much light for male flowers to develop, but there are some noticeable so I must see how this develops. There is one LED-bar inside on the bottom to shed some light, but the other bar is broken for a while now, so it’s a little less light than I hoped for. Next weekend I’ve planned to harvest the male pollen, I hope there is enough by then. Otherwise I can cut the branches anyway, only leave the paper bags and place them into water to further ripen away from the plants. I hope this is going to work. If it does, it’s a nice way to create copies from selected pheno’s. And I’m planning to use the technique on a very special pheno at a later grow session.
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!👊
