Coming along alright so far. I topped the plant at the start of the week. Also started LST towards the end of this week. It also started to get a bit warm some days - so I turned on my big extractor fan at intervals
The temp went too far this week - so I turned on my big extractor fan on fulltime. I should have done it sooner. There doesn't seem to be any obvious damage, but I'm sure some stress must've occurred
The extractor fan is helping - but it's still South Africa in February outside. I considered some more expensive cooling techniques - but most of the year, it will be just fine. I was quite enjoying the LST as well - though I'm sure I will do a better job next time.
So I said it was going to be the last of the LST on a previous update, but I was wrong... I needed to defoliate. It was then clear that some lower branches would really benefit from some LST.
While changing the water this week, I decided to grab a photo of the roots - so you can see that in the photos for this week! The plants are also starting to look really frosty!
This week I'm just posting the photos from the first day a bit early, I'll update more in the next 6 days :) But so far everything is looking good. Have a look at the difference between the end of week 9 and the start of this week... That's 2 days! It looks like it needs another defoliation though. I'm going to experiment with a leaf or two a day.
Thursday update: I changed out the tub that the plant was in for a 20l bucket. This has given my grow tent more space. My plan is to try to have 3 plants at a time, planted a month apart. Obviously this would only work with autoflowers - but if I do have a couple of photoperiod seeds lying around in case I change my mind
Starting look better and better. South Africa went into lockdown recently due to COVID-19, so it's going to be quite tempting to give it the chop early - but will make sure that I flush her first. I am starting to think that in the next few months I should probably just spend the money on a better light. And then will definitely try this strain again and give it a proper chance to do it's best. So far it's been a champ.
So given I brought her down early - she did pretty damn well! Will definitely try this strain again! Was really easy and just dominated from start to finish. After I chopped her down, I lazily moved the bucket outside... And then it started to rain - I noticed the next day what seemed to be some new grow... So I put her back in some half nutrients, and am tempted to see what happens just for fun. But I don't expect anything to come of it.
Update: So that new growth experiment failed :D But I have started the next grow in that bucket. I didn't really upload any picture of the harvest because of it wasn't quite ready and was a desperate move to get a sleeping aid during lockdown. Please don't judge the strain for my impatience, it really is a great one... And I got 45g when I harvested early and was only using no-name-brand blurple lights... Next stop though... Mars Hydro TS-1000!
So given I brought her down early - she did pretty damn well! Will definitely try this strain again! Was really easy and just dominated from start to finish, even under my lights which could probably do with a bit of an upgrade
