so other than being quite hot and humid it was quite a good week for bondage
most of the branches tied down without complaint but some of the older lower branches required some support at the base as well as manual bending further up its essentially a lazy job of a supercrop she responded surprisingly well considering the stress the extra air movement must have outweighed the bondage no sooner than she was tied back did she start to fatten the bud sites beginning with the centre she initially had a classic Thai look to her but as the extra weight reached the outer branches she took on more of that swampy tropical/cheese look
small room change the fan is now suspended from the ceiling as fixed to the wall generates to much vibration noise
@Thebush,
Organic Is a Good Choice and Bio Bizz is OMRI is certified organic ๐.
sounds like your going to have some really amazing bud, keep a diary.
@FlynnRyder,
SSH is an easy one clues in the name super SILVER haze so like 90% milk 10% amber should look silver on the buds
WHITE widow is another one where its in the name...
with less obvious strains asking the breeder is never a bad idea although you don't always get answers...
we are after all growing flowers so most families of varieties have similar characteristics
ie amnesia haze was first bread by SOMA of SOMA seeds
but i can buy an amnesia haze from dinafem or any number of other reputable seed firms
and what i should get in the pack is dinafems take on what amnesia haze as a family should look like
sometimes i to go to en.seedfinder.eu just to look at the genetic lineage of a plant and see what kind of families she is part of
amnesia haze is usually a good stone high combo so say 30% amber 70% milk
if i have a cross of amnesia haze with afghani number 1 id expect it to be more amber than the amnesia haze and milkier than the afghani
sometimes we don't know the lineage or just aren't familiar with it
in that case www.leafly.com
it has an effects page for every strain, id tailor my approach to achieve to the effect im supposed to be aiming for ...
in the end though it always comes down to asking the girl on hand herself
sometimes i check trichomes and see little development after a certain point
ie some plants just stop getting more milky or stop getting more amber and usually the bud swelling slows around this point i tend to run them for another 3-5 days after this stage has been reached to ensure a good terp profile hope my rambling helps a little
@Hemporio_Afghani, Thanks mate. So if I'm using an online breeder is there a way to acquire each genetic's preferred color notes so that I know for certain I am harvesting the plant at its peak time? I guess what I'm asking is that if I got my seeds from Rob at ILGM, I dont really see any guidance on when to harvest my SSH. Am I way off base though and confused or should I shoot the company an email and specifically ask what amber vs milky notes they recommend harvesting at?
@FlynnRyder,
i try to match it to the expected high because that how the breeder intended it to be cut
so like
night train would be very amber becase cbd +cbn = sleepy high
sour D would be all milky for that crippling high
jack heir would be slightly clear 80% milk to give a clear and uplifted high
but most strains i pick are the 30% amber for daytime
and either all milk or more amber for night time use
@autoseedsman,
it smells fantastic so fantastic!
later their will be trichome photos, just need to get the scope out had peek with the loupe and it was beautiful.
the anticipation of this girl is so high that the parent variety Mandarina auto is getting her own shot.
1 x Mandarina Auto by Oaseed went in to the cube today will add a diary so keep an eye out for her. ๐
@Psilocubensis,
diamond Mylar fabric for the walls easy to clean, very reflective helps with making it air tight.
the floor is reflective and water proof also don't water too much no run off so no mess
soon changing to nutrients in the soil so it can be automatic rain from the top using just clean water.
having multiple generations of plant would be impossible if the nutrients are in the water as different ages have different needs
using soil supplement and individual taps on each drip emitter all the ages can still live together
Running auto-flowers means all ages get the same lighting so this room can give 2 plants harvest every month
instead of 6 plants every 3 months.
@Hemporio_Afghani, I most point that white wall is better than mylar.
First be cause you already have it on, for free, also mylar reflect 5% more, try searching for it.
What I would do is to add saucer under the pots, so you can water from the base, or even from the top, but without messing around the ground!
@Psilocubensis,
P.semilanceata is easy to find hard to forget ๐
feeding plants only with plants is an advanced magic indeed, perhaps we can learn from each other as we learn from them ๐
good you understand it now, soon the whole grow room is getting rebuilt with better extraction, new shelves, a rail to hang lights from and reflective walls.๐
when it is done you will get a link with lots of pictures ๐
