C99 In 4x4 inch rockwool cubes

Of to an ok start. 4/4 germed and sprouted and appear healthy.

Watered once this week only as the blocks take a while to reach 50% moisture content.

So far nice uniformity. All 4 look very similar in all aspects. Some smell starting on these already 👍

Setup auto watering. Still dialing in drip times. Tent is very full... Flipped to flower after 25 days veg.

Added a large container underneath to catch run off. They are drinking about a liter each per day. Removed leaves for better air flow and some of the thinner branches that wouldn't produce well.

Final defoliation. Removed all the super thin branches and lower leaves. A few fans covering bud sites. Normally might not remove so much, but humidity was a bit high in the tent and with it so crammed in there the extra airflow is necessary.

2 of them really stretching. They started out so similar in height and shape but they have definitely started showing their own personalities now.

Some minor burn on the tips. I ran a mild flush solution through the system and am carefully monitoring run off. The factors here seem to be that temps are high, and 4 inches of rockwool is not that much media. Lowering EC in the rez to compensate.

Removed more leaves to promote more air flow. Also had to tie some branches to the cieling and to the main kolas to keep them from falling.

The 4 inch cubes are a pain to keep wet enough in a run to waste system. Been monitoring run off carefully to prevent salt build up. 2 different phenos, 1 pheno a couple weeks from harvest.

2 of these are coming down this week. 90% cloudy trichomes, and I like to avoid any amber to prevent sedative meds. The other two are 2 weeks out or more. I'm having to tie more branches as the buds seem to be gaining weight. Here's hoping 😁

Two got the chop at 90% cloudy trichomes. The other 2 have a week or maybe 2 to go still. Definitely 2 different phenos here. 👍 Pics of trichomes about a week old. Plants chopped 4 days ago.

Just waiting 1 more week for these to fully ripen. They will get chopped in about 5-6 days, and then I'll come back in a few weeks with the final report on weight/aroma/effect.

Fairly easily to grow, very vigorous, two different phenos. First pheno finishes fast, but doesn’t yield much. Second pheno takes 2.5 weeks more but yields almost 4 times as much and has a nice Sativa high. 3/4 harvested plants are a hybrid effect, not sedative but intoxicating and impair judgement. The 4th I’m calling “Spicy Italian”, it smells like basil and black pepper with hints of licorice and other spices has a clear high with a lot of focus and energy. The smaller two only yielded about an ounce total, and the larger two were about 50g each. Total yield 132 grams. Lots of different terps, citrus and spicy, pretty unique. I can’t say I’ve smelled any other strains quite like it. Overall I think the genetics are strong and easy to grow and produce some nice buds!
