Sweet Seeds Green Poison F1 Fast Version

48 / 14 Days - Holy shnikeys, the growth! If it didn’t grow nearly 2” over the course of 12 hours I’d be shocked. Ended up with a lot more axillary growth than I wanted. Letting it go as-is, and make a general plan for the next run with a bit more natural growth. 49 / 15 Days - Okay, 24-25k might be the hot spot. I need to get a multi-meter. I’ll be running this box under 480watts (240x2 lights) and still pulling same weight. F^ck 1.5g/watt… that should be the bare minimum once it’s dialed in. Insane growth yet again overnight and throughout day. Even the plants in center grew a couple inches… Need to adjust further. 26k might be a better starting point and let grow into light 1-2”, rinse and repeat. As of now the lights have been raised recently and not just to accommodate new height of left half. Right fixture is running slightly few watts, I can tell at edge. This needs to be fixed. Procra-stone-ation. Quick and sloppy math → Less than $0.35/gram for a ~100day run (35v/65b) for everything including exorbitant depreciation. My runs will be shorter than 100 days. Lights have reduced costs by more than 25%, conservatively, while producing more photons and far better product deeper into canopy. 50 / 16 Days - Holy fluck, batman! Just packed on a little too much height on left side of canopy (AM). Guess vege growth isn’t quite done, yet. I don’t think any of these will be “fast” at this point, but I like to be surprised. Hoping quality will be good above all else. Looking forward to dialing lights down. The bloom fixtures feel slightly warm to the touch. Vege area is cool aluminum. Should be able to get the bloom lights closer to the vege running temp. 51 / 17 Days - Think growth has ended.. may get another ½ to 1”, but for the most part looks like it is stalling out. The middle plants are 3-4” shorter, but I like their recent spacing better. Raising lights was correct thing to do. Easy manipulation to keep internodes tight. Distinct yellowing at terminal indicates initial overexposure. Can use that point as a guide for any per-seed adjustment. About 1.25 gallons of nutes each. 8oz of pH fed first to account for some evaporation and rinse down top poriton with no roots. Dumb-shit isn’t watering with runoff/drainage, and they are too large to be pulling out and watering in the utility tub. Flood table is in my future… 52 / 18 Days - An explosive end to vegetative growth. Surprisingly grew a full inch or more today. Some colas reached 32k intensity. Watching for over-exposure, but rather those nodes not stretch further. If it stalls them without damage, I like it. The taller plants have shown promise of filling in those longer stretches today. Yesterday, the budlets were tiny with long internodes in comparison. The smaller plants are probably a bit too compact, but we will see how the end product ends up to be the judge of that. Potential for a fused mass of a top cola on those with the tighter internodes. If these fill in well, they should be a nice yielding and easily grown crop. If they finish fast… They may just own the left half of bloom box for a couple years or more. Advanced Seeds Gorilla Blue is ready at 53 days, despite the fact I am testing a later harvest window on that particular plant. I think that’s impressive. If this can be less than 7 weeks, I’ll be further impressed. 30-40% increase in yearly production with that kind of bloom period without adding space or lights. As long as they are under 60 days or so should make the sweet seeds cup contest at the bell. 53 / 19 Days - Already seeing some trichomes. Plants all seem to be on same schedule so far. I’ve noticed trichomes this early on a 9-week variety, but I assume it correlates to a faster finish. Stacking should finish before ~28ish days and showing visible plumping to stay on a “fast” schedule. All other things being great, I have my doubts about the 6-week claim or even 7 weeks. All is still possible, but some crazy development will have to happen this week. All for it! PM - noticeable expansion on each, and the taller one has promise of filling in as I thought it got a little too stretchy. Keeping eye out for overexposure on the tall stalks. May need to drop a riser and re-adjust lights. 54 / 20 Days - Continue to be impressed by the taller plants and how they are filling in. The shorter plants are great too. Quick bud development so far. If it’s fluffy and filled in by end of next week, that’s a good sign. If it’s plumping before then, it might finish faster than Gorilla Blue (8weeks). By 5 weeks GB looked like a crystal-covered nug, but another ~3 weeks beyond to finish. ---------------- Another excellent week in the garden. Continued fast development relatively even between the 4 seeds, but I do expect variances to become obvious over time. These can be quite bushy. Axillary growth happens easily. Should have removed a bit more lower growth, but intended to learn from this run and erred on side of caution when pruning. May be a bit overcrowded in spots.
