Another week finished š
The stretch phase has finally come to a halt. The girls only gained about 2.75 inches in height since last week! š Mission accomplished! They didn't go through the ceiling after all!!!!
That typical mouthwateringly good sweet early budding aroma is beginning to peak š¤¤
I still have a little issue with heat stress on the highest buds due to the lights being just a slight bit too close again the past few days. Should be fixed soon.
Unfortunately, I may have to resort to only taking pictures of the girls within the confines of the grow tent in the weeks leading up to harvest day as transferring them without having resin rubbed off them is proving quite difficult. But, I promise to have some good pictures of them out of the tent on harvest day for sure! š In the future when I have some budget photography lighting this won't be an issue since I can set up an area for photographing them close to the grow tent without the long hazardous journey. But it may be a few grows away! š¢ We'll see!
I hope the GrowDiaries community is finding my diary helpful and satisfying to watch! Enjoy the pictures everyone! š¤
NOTE: I should be updating this journal with a video that I took earlier within the next few days. My antidepressant has left me too tired to edit it today!
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
