So, it's day 32 from seed today (2020-05-25) and the plants are doing very well other than a decapitation of one of the biggest plants tops. Unfortunately I was a bit clumsy. I know... š¤¦āāļø I wasn't delicate enough. It's my first grow since 2015 š Oh, well... It happens!
The girls have developed some calyxes and began forming their first alternate nodes towards the top of their growth. The growth rates are speeding up ridiculously now that the tops have themselves well established. The tallest of the two plants exhibited in the pictures was standing at 8.5 inches yesterday. Today she measured in at 9.5 inches!!!! š¤Æ I'm planning on flowering once she reaches about 11 inches. So, I'm hoping to have an early August harvest!
Likes, comments, and feedback appreciate guys! š¤
At what height would you recommend initiating 12/12 to prevent this strain from over-stretching after topping each plant twice to produce four tops? I hope to finish them at 3-4ft. Would I get away starting 12/12 at 9-11 inches?
sativas are known for being able to stretch high, so 9 to 11 inches sounds about right to me..
eventually it always depends on the genetics and the environment, so it's a bit difficult to say, but what you said sounds quite plausible..
if you're vertically limited in space, then i'd rather err on the lower side..
she's looking great by the way!
happy growing
Hi Buttlover i have the same shit with 1from 4 Plants . I have Black Lights Automatic from Sensi Seeds (NL #5 Ć Black Harlequin). I have 2 Colas with Budrott on 1 Plant . Maybe NL# 5 is a sensitive Strain for this mold.
@Bud_Spencer, As a result of a recent leak the home the humidity levels have been overing in the 80s at times while the rooms dry out. And before the leak the humidity levels were still a bit high for the flowering phase. So, I should have ideally had a dehumidifier to begin with. But it is interesting to hear that you're having similar issues with Black Lights. What have your humidity levels been like?
@ButtLover, nothing stopping her now mate propper bbw is right hahaha šš happy days mate im sure you cant wait they will be big beefy plants by then!! Ill update mine towards the end of the week mate done abit of lst on one of them yesterday seems to have taken it well
@Budmarley2221, Thanks! The biggest one grew over an inch and a half since I posted those pictures yesterday š She's getting me a bit nervous about height control š She's a real BBW š¤£ I'll be starting the 12/12 cycle tonight so the harvest time should be somewhere around July 31st to the beginning of August. I'll be keeping an eye out for your journal update, bud! š
@MisterSix, Thanks! š¤ I will have an update week on this journal tomorrow evening. Be sure to come back and check out the update pictures! They're growing like wildfire š I did kind of sever one of the tops on one of the girls a few days ago š¢ Other than that it's all going good. Almost ready to flower! Should be ready for harvest in August I reckon. I haven't grown a thing since 2015 so I'm really looking forward to this š
