2/17:
I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!👈
2/18:
I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz.
The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a coupe of days.
I've reached the ceiling again with my lights and the tall one is still stretching a little bit. I sure hate to have to supercrop her too...my garden is looking so wild and untamed already...😳
2/19:
Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.👍
2/20:
Day 31 of flower...the taller plant grew another couple of inches overnight! Damnit!😟 After emptying the closet (again) today and supercropping more branches (and some of the same branches again), a semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches! Now I'm truly maxxed out...
These two plants couldn't be more different.
One twisted-leaf 2-footer that started budding up in the first week of flower, and one beautiful 4-footer that's been very slow to flower..
The structure on the taller/sativa-looking plant is very promising, though...many long colas, and stacking up well...👌
I really needed everybody to finish in the same week so I could get my Spring autos going...😶
I'm still hoping that the big one will hurry the fuck up and finish by the EHD(3/11), but it's not looking possible at this point...
I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day.
2/21:
I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time.
2/22:
The tall one grew another inch...i threatened to bind her up like one of Silky_Smooth's plants if she didn't stop growing immediately.
If she doesn't start budding up with serious urgency, she's gonna piss me off...my Spring auto grow must not be postponed!
2/23:
I ordered some terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..
@Silverback_Guerilla, so many phenos sometimes. i did an lsd25 and found it could be 1 of 9 possible phenos.lol never can guarantee we get a good one either. I had a hulkberry that was the crap pheno too. hated it the whole grow , dumped it i a tub once dry and was going to Hash it all. i smoked some and nearly fell over.lol some of the dankest bud ever.lol looks can be deceiving. good luck for a brilliant ending on them,
@Ganjagrandaddy, Thanks! It's a bit of a grab-bag with the #1's..as you can see from my diary I had one 2-footer and one 4-footer..makes for a very challenging situation. The shorter phenotype is pretty quick flowering. The taller pheno is very slow to flower, but she'll have some massive buds...eventually. My short one has had twisted and down-curled leaves since I started flowering, but it seems to be genetic. Delightfully dank aroma coming from her...
Some beautiful looking buds in there. Spectacular work. Keep doing whatever you have been doing and may the ganja garden gods bless you with good fortunes till the end.
@Silverback_Guerilla, the end is a true test of patience. Mind always starts looking to the next lady and it gets harder and harder. But in the end it's all worth it.
@GRow_M8s, Thanks man!
This whole grow is actually "fast-flowering" photoperiod varieties. I'm just getting away with 10 hours of darkness by exploiting the Emerson Effect with spectral triggers.
@Doktorholland, Yes. They are introducing "Fast Flowering Photoperiod" varieties soon, and the "FFT" diaries are by growers who are testing them for FastBuds.
@Fast_Buds, It ain't over yet...I have 4 healthy clones of this strain that are starting to flower now!
It is a truly delicious variety!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to grow them!
