Light Saber Week 7 Notes
A lot has been happening with lockdowns going into place and trying to prepare for some of the shortages and difficulties my area’s already starting to face going into winter, so I didn’t have the energy to write up notes for any of my strains this week to be honest lol.
Just a quick overview of this week – Light Saber has officially survived my repotting shenanigans and seems to be doing really well. I don’t think I mentioned it in a previous post, but unfortunately someone broke into my car during the night a few weeks ago and tore open the envelope I had of the genetic samples for Light Saber so I could send it in and get confirmation of the gender. The samples had been handled and touched among other things, which unfortunately contaminated them.
The timing and type of leaf I use for testing is pretty specific, so I wasn’t able to get another sample for the original batch of strains I wanted tested. Humongous bummer, because I’d pre-paid for the tests too.
Not the worst thing in the world though lol, I’ve come this far so I’ll take the opportunity to break from planning everything out and just enjoy the mystery and surprise of the genders. I’ll just need to be extra vigilant about pollen sacs growing in and potentially reconfigure the timing of my flowering phases.
I put in a bit of LST about midweek once I felt pretty comfortable that Light Saber was doing alright and kicking back into vegetative growth. With the light defoliation I did the shape got a little funny, but between LST and moving her to a different spot in the grow tent so light could hit the skinnier sides a bit better, she’s filling up evenly again.
I’m thinking I may be ready in the next two weeks to flip to flower – in the last day especially, she’s really poofing out and gaining some height.
