12/9/2017 - The stretch these girls put on when they hit flower is insane. I'm getting ready to add bamboo stakes for support because I already can tell they are going to have massive nugs on them. They jumped from 9-10inches tall to just shy of 24 inches in under a week. They have now stopped all veg growth and are starting to pack on pistils already. I just got a new bottle of mammoth P so that will be added back into the nutrients starting now.
12/12/2017 - Definitely 2 completely different phenotypes. One is extremely tall (30 inches from pot) and stretched out with a bunch of long side branches. The other is shorter (24 inches from pot) and bushier. It will need some leaf tucking during flower for sure. They are both responding very well to the environment and nutrients (I got more mammoth p finally!!!) I've also used bamboo chutes and this gardening velcro tape stuff that I love to support all of the branches. Based on my Gold Glue grow these plants are about to produce some monster buds that the branches wouldn't be able to support.
@Tonino, the main cola on p2 is as big around as a 2 liter and about a foot long and they still have at least another 15 maybe 20 days on them from the trichomes and pistils. the frost is out of this world on them as well. i think the dryness in the tent from my house's heat is helping with that. If the humidifiers run out of water it sometimes will drop down to 35-40% rh but only for an hour or two at the most (when i notice them empty).
@BlackHatGenetics, Sounds like a good plan. Sometimes we get lucky and the plant doesn't need us to do anything but feed and love it. I'm happy for you that you haven't needed to do anything to her to get her were she is. You are obviously doing a bunch of things right forthe plant so kudos to you my friend!
@DabCrab, ill do some leaf tucking and switch them to the Bloom nutes but I dont do LST or anything. They respond good enough to proper nutes, lighting, and air that I havent seen a need
Congrats on the harvest, she looks amazing!!
Also they stopped the voting cause too many people were cheating the system, creating fake accounts to vote for themselves. And people were upset it was partly a popularity contest, so now the winners are picked by the GD team. :)
@Tonks, thank you for the kind words and the information. a couple of bad apples always gotta ruin it for the bunch! love the grow diaries community and thankful for all the knowledge ive gained from my fellow green thumb!
This grow looks to be coming together absolutely amazing. Those buds are just out of this world with their beauty. You've done amazing work here and it shows in the quality of your buds. Fantastic job buddy. Keep up the great work :D
@DabCrab, Thank you so much for the kind words. I just let them grow how they want to and it seems to be working great. This Dutch Pro autoflower nutrient line is out of this world. I added the NPK booster (explode) and the buds have turned rock hard and doubled in size. I cant wait to use it for a whole flower on the SODK that I have going too
@Tonino, yes lots of bud sites! They stretched so much I actually just used some bamboo stakes and gardening Velcro to support each branch. I get the feeling this is going to be a heavy producer
