4/20:
I have 3 good clones of the shortie growing, and another FFT6 seedling.
5/1:
The seedling is now in a 5 gallon pot outdoors, and 2 of the clones are in my closet getting ready to be transplanted into 5 gallon pots and moved outdoors. One of the FFT6 clones will be grown in my tiny tent.
5/6:
I took the last two clones outdoors and fed them really well. I also did some training on the seedling and the clone in my tiny tent.
5/7:
I did a foliar application of Axiom Harpin proteins today.
5/9-5/11:
Did foliar feeding and lots of training every day.
5/12 - 5/17:
Fed the outdoor girls on the 13th, then we had lots of rain all week. The seedling is a beast. Installed a new 200w 3000k waterproof LED over the outdoor plants. The indoor clone looks great. I gave her some water on the 16th.
5/18 - 5/19:
The seedling and two clones outdoors are all flowering?!?!
I suppose it's because I germ'd and vegged them for a month under 24/0 before taking them outdoors under 14/10 of daylight...
I'm really hoping she sees the days getting longer and goes back to vegging. I need time to bush her up really well!
I ordered another 200w 3000k waterproof LED to replace the two cool white 60w LED's, so that will be 550w total watts of lighting outdoors in addition to the 5'ish hours of direct sunlight they get at mid-day, and the tree-diffused sunlight they get for the rest of the day.
Thinking about trying a product called Bud Bomb...has lots of hormones, cytokinins, and auxins that when applied at the beginning of flowering supposedly causes more lateral branching and less vertical stretch. As it is, I'm spending too much time training her and the other outdoor plants to stay below the eyeline of nosy neighbors, so I'm really considering giving it a shot...
5/20:
I went for it and sprayed them with Bud Bomb this morning...hope it works like they claim..
5/21 - 7/4:
The clone i grew in the tiny tent got to move in under the quantum boards for her last 2 weeks and fattened up nicely. I harvested her on 6/28 and washed her buds, then jarred and weighed her on 7/3. She produced 110g of cola and 51g of lower bud...very little of it was larfy.👍
After a few great weeks flowering outdoors, i was invaded by spider mites and grasshoppers. The #6 seed-grown plant didn't make it, but i brought the #6 clone indoors and treated her for spider mites a few times, along with the 2 x #1 clones and the #7 plant. That outdoor clone now in my closet is still flowering as of 7/4, but had her last dose of nutes on 7/3. Flushing in a few days.
@Fast_Buds, Ya I'm not sure who monitors this account, but if you're listening...
I'm a big boy...I can handle the truth. It's been well over 2 years since you sent me the FFT seeds.
Is it that you've shifted your business model away from trying to enter the photoperiod market completely, and decided to abandon the project entirely (along with the testers you employed to do diaries)?
That's understandable. But what is not understandable is why you'd just ignore us when we ask about it.
