Red Kross High CBD Auto

Growing x46 Red Kross High CBD Autoflower Hemp Unfeminized under x2 200 Watt LEDs. Starting them off in jiffy peat starts in 16 oz jiffy cups containing Lucky Dog K9 Cube Potting Soil. All plants are licensed, containing less than .3% total thc in compliance with the 2018 farm bill and florida senate bill 1020. Plants will be moved outdoors in 3 weeks into 3 gal pots containing Fox farms Ocean Forest and Earth Dust Boost amendments. Will recieve 1 gallon of compost tea each containing recharge microbes. All plants will be treated with OMRI approved sprays and beneficial insects every month.

Had a problem with some mice in the grow room eating my seedlings so I set up an ultrasonic mouse repellent for 30$ and a few mouse traps. The survivors have been covered in domes until the mice are gone. A few of the starts stunted and are showing signs of stress. I culled the weak ones. These plants will be transplanted into 3 gallon smart pots containing living soil in 1 week and be moved outdoors to harden off.

Week 3 of veg and I just moved crop outdoors to harden off for a week. First they were exposed to 4 hours of direct sunlight a day for 3 days. Then they were transplanted into 3 gallon smart pots containing fox farms ocean forest and amended with 9 tbsp each of Earth Dust Boost, moved into a makeshift shade house to harden off till day 24, when they will be moved into full sun and caged for support. x8 plants were topped to see effect on seed production. They are drinking alot now and getting a light tea between waterings. Plants were sprayed with a light organic treatment of Neem Oil to prevent insect damage to plants. So far it is very minimal.

Plants have really grown over the past week. They are getting a half gallon of water twice daily with silica. Males have identified themselves between days 23 and 25. Noticing 2 phenotypes based on form, one Ruderalis dominant pheno which will be a single cola, and a bushy pheno resembling the typical christmas tree shape. Unfortunately I dont have my testing equipment to isolate chemotypes and terpene profiles but that will be a future trial. Plants will be bred together based on form this first go around to see if I can isolate those traits.

Week 5, First week of Flower. I've isolated the 2 initial breeding groups into 3 new breeding groups based on leaf size and growth structure with the help of an OG. Was able to pull 3 Sativa dominant Phenotypes aside to isolate those genetics. All these plants have been performing beyond expectation! They're drinking a gallon every other day now. Been having to trim the males pollen clusters because the females are still not ready to receive it and I dont want to risk pollen drift between groups. Very happy with this grow so far! Minimal pest damage, no signs of heat stress or mold issues.

Plants have been loving the rain and have doubled in size. Finally finished trimming pollen off the males. Letting them develop and cross pollinate the females this week. Breeding groups have been broken up into 3 phenos, a sativa dominant cultivar, a broad lead cultivar, and and even mix of those traits. Looking forward to the next generation. Plants exhibit minimal pest damage from leaf miners and leaf eating insects. No beneficial insects have been needed for this crop.

The plants needed to be transplanted into 5 gallon pots and needed a top dressing of blood meal to account for nitrogen loss due to the rain the past 2 weeks. I also added a second feeding of earth dust boost 2 weeks early to help promote robust flower growth. Seeds are forming nicely and are already double the size of what we started with. They should be ready in 4 to 5 weeks

Plants are really starting to show their true form. Have found 3 phenos I want to breed for production purposes. The rest display landrace sativa traits with sparse flowers between distant internodes. May be good for seed production.

Plants are really starting to smell! Hints of citrus, fruit, and pine, mixed with a little gas. Have selected 5 varieties to continue breeding based on form and yield. Very happy with the results.
