Girls are getting big! I added some Green Buzz nutes to their water to give a little boost. Gave both of them a proper defoliation - focusing on removing some. Of the larger lower fan leaves that I had let hang out for a while.
Both phenos have their own smell. I can't quite describe them yet, other than that Leia smells a bit more earthy than Maz.
The trichomes that are coating these baby buds are abundant and sparkly like diamonds! They're both super sticky!
The hairs on Leia are still really reaching! Her buds are stacking so nicely! Maz has these fat, round, swollen buds - both girls are coated in sugar.
I realized over the past week that my watering practices weren't necessarily that great. I was watering each plant with a gallon of water, getting some runoff and only watering every 6 days or so. Someone suggested I try something different so that way the grow media isn't remaining too wet for too long.
So this week I've cut my watering volume by half. I take one gallon to water both girls. This way I am watering every 3-4 days and the plants have more days of being in the sweet spot, vs extended time in the "too wet" phase.
The plants undoubtedly enjoy this practice much better! I am very grateful for the guidance!
Thank you for following along, loves! โ๏ธ ๐ ๐ฑ
@CRiSPrGrow, Thank you!!! I was really happy with the artist who took my awkward as hell concept sketch and made it look like this! I got slaps, I would totally send one your way ๐.
@CRiSPrGrow, I think it is some luck. I grow by the seat of my pants. All I do is ph balance ferts. and water. No soil or runoff tests. I only use base ferts. and cal-Mag. I see diaries using 8-10 different chemicals. For me itโs keep it simple stupid. I could never figure out problems if I had all those variables. Thank for the compliment.
Nice. I donโt have anyone developing new strains specially for me. If they did It would be call Lucky shit dumb grower OG. Lol good luck. Iโve seen your grow. I think luck has very little to do with your grows.
I like your defoliation technique I am going to be more aggressive on my next grow to avoid all that lower larf. as always your highness your diaries are informative and well documented.
Cheers
@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, I use my sous vide to infuse mine! I follow the instructions over on sousweed.com. I've done butter before but prefer coconut oil! โ๏ธ
@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, Thanks, growmie! Yeah I used to not care about keeping the extra popcorn bud because I make oil. But at this point, I have more than enough popcorn stash for oil.... So while I have so far always grown from the standpoint of "waste not" when growing my plants, it's time to try something different. This time I'm only targeting the quality bud for smoking enjoyment ๐๐จ
off to the races๐
I am using the california lightworks 500 solar extreme,
not adjustable like yours,but I love the full spectrum it
gives right out of the box๐๐ plants seem to love it๐ช
Grow Big๐
@northernMike, Nice! I grew with mine for two full very satisfying runs before I emptied my wallet some more for the spectrum control. Jury's still out as to whether or not I really notice an improvement, but this will be my first time using it in an environment that isn't giving me issues so this will be its time to shine! (dorky pun absolutely intended)
Nice job, plants look really happy๐
I picked up another CLW xtreme 500, plants love the extra light, zero dark corners.๐
Now I'm battling the heat, trying to keep the temp at 22c in the day, nighttime 17-18c.
Luck and Grow Big!!
Looking healthy, I think your spot on with your sexing 2F and 2M the males will usually get taller faster as well so they can dump there pollen on the shorter females. you still have time before the males swell with pollen but the small spade is a good indicator that they are dudes. Sexing can take up to 6 weeks between 4-6 they should start showing signs then you can send the males to the Sarlacc pit. good video.
Lady looking great! Happy and healthy lady (hopefully). Always wanted to cross my own strain. Looks like you did quite well. Nice work. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck moving forward growmie.
P.s you got these fire genetics for sale somewhere? What about that sticker? I need that one on my stoner sticker collage
