Sep 27: both plants are looking great with almost no sign of problems due to low temps. The days have gotten much shorter at around 12 hours of daylight compared to 18+ hours during the summer. I’m sure this has affected the plants as they’re flowering more quickly now.
Panama Lime is more mature and has a great strong smell of limes and lemons. Cookies G13 has a weaker smell but it’s still pretty nice.
Sep 28: took out a few inner branches on both plants. Both plants’ buds are getting fairly sticky 😎 Both plants look a bit N deficient (?) so I gave them a bit of water with SuperBloom (10-40-25). This is a bit late in the grow for that but there’s probably another two weeks at least so it should be fine. It was either that or another dose of BioBloom and it seems too late for that.
Sep 30: a bit of frost overnight. Panama Lime was fine but the north side of Cookies G13 had some leaf curl due to frost. No pics though. Sprayed with kelp extract to revive.
Oct 2: great run of nice sunny weather continues and the plants are certainly getting heavier and riper. Drilled 2 small holes through trunks on both plants.
Frost last night wiped out potato plants nearby, and some damage on the Cookies G13, but both the Panama Lime and the Wonder Pie were undamaged.
@Pokan187, thanks. This one is from several seasons ago, but yeah it was a pretty good. Boveda are fine, but humidity packs are a commodity biz so I just buy whatever is the best deal. Humidity packs are totally worth it by the way…worth the minor price.
@Northern_Ent,Ha brilliant dude thank you really.. Here I was half expecting a weird stupid answer and you come up with something intelligent very cool. Much Respect brother... I use a product to achieve the same kind of idea but very cool of you to think outside the box..
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, I agree it sounds silly but the soap lowers the surface tension of the water which means that it is better able to penetrate the leaves. Science, or at least wishful thinking. 😎. Pesticide formulations often use the same trick to deliver their active ingredients. I was reminded of it buying some fancy peat based medium that mentioned using a “wetting agent” which is just a surfactant which is just soap.
@Epokwan, the breeder calls them Superautos. They did start flowering early, and will finish in time, but wow what a long winded plant. Absolutely gorgeous though and the Panama Lime testers are really nice. I likely found it on Seedsman using their search filters.
Looks awesome! I think my plants are growing at about the same pace as yours, I'm only in week 4 though, hoping to see the same things as you've got goin on
@siz3thr33, thanks, I’m excited about these ones. Your California Snow look good, but you’re likely a bit early with the bloom nutes. Your day 21 pic show you’re still in vegetative growth so they need a fertilizer with more N than PK to grow big.
My plants also seem to like getting a bit of molasses every week or so throughout the grow. Make sure its unsulphured blackstrap molasses which is cheap at the grocery store. 😎. Good luck.
