Genectics are Malawi X (95' Northern Lights 5 X Haze) X Dosidos, Growing fantastically well and short for a sativa dominant hybrid may top the top two again but may also let it just recover and flip to flower I am not sure yet , either way I feel this will end up a solid yield so I may just flip it .

Smells wicked already and its gonna be a nice yield with fimmin it and supercroping thos 4 tops and may top , the very top two branches after the recovery of the super cropping , it would allow me to get an even canopy across the 4 sq feet I've got , any opinions on topping again

Oh i love super cropping...I don't know if ill ever stop now I've tried it. Yours looks great and i think you'd have a perfect canopy without any additional tops...plus no more recovery times. But...if you were feeling ancey and wanting to tinker, I'd just top those very top two branches just the one time and get 4 mains out of it with the added even canopy from the S.C. Either way it's gonna be a nice grow to watch. Happy growing. ✌️

On my last grow I had a massive plant, trained extensively and was an absolute beast , the plant ended up going and throwing bananas out , but I'm certain my tent was to hot and my plant was to close to the light which is why I just cut it down , should I try that again, temps 👌

Plant is doing great only probably about 4-5 days until its recovered Nd ready for flowe , my flower light cycle will run 10 hours of light and 14 hours dark , ive read with sativa strains you can possibly finish them quicker if given just a little longer in darkness , it can finish your buds maturity faster, yet it dose cause slight drop in weight but 2 weeks sooner is a decent amount of time haha, any thoughts from anyone that has seen my jpurnal?

Stretching is almost over and shes looking great at day 38 , day 11 of flower , sitting here with the closet and tent closed as i update this comment at 9:33 on oct 24 i can smell the plantits skunky and oddly its garlicy haha , but i havent had much but pictures to offer to my journal so far and ill change that as of now , and update the information ive left out, during veg i used Canna terra vega w Canna Cannzyme, Canna rhiztonic, fox farm rasta ph down, fox farm grow big in foliar spray never used in direct feed , and canna pk 13/14 , terravega in every feed only ever used at 3/4 strength, rhizotonic in every feed at full strength until i felt the plant was strong but continued but at .07 fl oz per gallon , cannazyme every other feed only ever used at half strength, ph balanced w ff rasta ph down as needed to 6.0-6.5ph throughout , during the two - three week transition ive feed with cannazyme every other feed pk13-14 every other feed and have used terra vega and terra flores together at 1/4 strength every feed , early in veg it was Fimmed at node 5 , after recovery lst on lower branches till strong then supper cropped each branch every day for 8 days then after the full recovery of that main stem was also super cropped after recovery i put those tooth picks in , since i have selectively defloliated leaves and light deprived shoots. Happy growing.

Cannerdanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hey there! Yes, before calyxes are mature they will withhold their pistils :) As the plant matures later into the flowering phase, more pistil will pop out as the plant prepares to be pollinated. In nature, these resinous hairs are what the plant uses to collect pollen floating in the air from a near (or FAR) male plant. Hope this helps! /Canadian_Cannerd

( the potion ) not to be confused with love potion or green love potion its one if its one This plant has been so amazing to watch grow thus far and it continues to impress me daily , i hace 7 clones which have been rooting for several days all looking well and hopefully i can keep this strain around it really is unique to so many other strains ive seen throughout my research of cannibas strains , the strain this seed was from was called ( the potion) its the very famous MALWAWI landrace sativa X 95 NORTHERN LIGHTS 5 , as far as i understand a man named DJ short flo the creator of The potion , the seed however is technically a backcross of its self as i bought some of THE Potion and recived one huge cola bud which was purple and beautiful, inside was JUST ONE fully developed seed , as we all know if a female plant is stressed with heat light damage ETC it will pollinate itself and create femized seeds as no genetic info from a male was present and the plant was clearly at the very end if the flower cycle this will produce viable female seeds of which will be a back cross of its own generation, myself already knowing that information took no hesitation and i knew it was female before germination, the luck to get a viable seed if a strain not available to anyone unless youve got a medical card , i was estactic when that seed popped out of the dark purple bud which was tested at 32 percent thca , i knew immediately that i just got lucky , here we are at day 54 of life , day 26 of flower and its starting to pack the trichomez on nicely , it is only my second grow and my first one was certainly no where near as quick growing nowhere near as beautiful and nowhere near the smell , i believe that this is a strain to keep around for the long haul i trained it extensively and it responded like an absolute champ the entire time with super fast recovery and no real delay in growth despite supper cropping it on every single branch in veg , it was like it didnt give a single shit 😀 bring it on ut told me hahhahaha

I would only do HST, which supercropping is, if it is getting too tall. I guess i could see a good reason if there's some empty space and you want more colas growing vertically along that length? Look up backbuilding buds, if you want to experiement with something. I'd leave the supercropping to times of need.

Yesterday i added a 3rd light and it made a noticeable difference in just a day but my temp is getting up to 86 and humidity is like 43-50 should i try to keep using the light? My leaves didn't droop and the plant looked the same but the leaves were praying way harder ,no droop ?

It may take a few days to present itself, so just keep an eye on it.... longer it takes to display, probably the less severe of a problem... if at all.. if it shows no stress, i wouldn't worry... although if in 3-4 week you see nanners, take note for next grow that it may* have been a bit too much, coincidences aside. you can ameliorate high temps a bit by increasing humidity too, but consider other factors like mold. maybe not a great idea late in flower, for example.

Hi! I'm not sure what is the question here but if you are referring to those purple stems, I'd say it is the result of led light exposure and nothing to worry about. If you look at most of the led grows you can see that they have purple stems where it gets lot of light. Purple stems can be caused by many other things too but if it is the only symptom there should not be too much to worry

they will change colors eventually, so it depends... other things to consider would be if it is too close to the lights, or if it's been pollinated. i couldn't tell you every cause off the top of my head but you could google for more. consider recent behaviour... if plant has been healhty and developing well, i would expect it is normal progression.

Assuming that longer nights causes cannibas to mature more quickly , could my plant be maturing ahead of schedule ? I am running 10/14 i know i will have a decreased yield but could this also explain orange hairs earlier than usual , i added fan and moved my plant ?

Hello GACiNATI, Pistils can turn orange/red from being touched with hands, but I wouldn't say that they have been damaged. It could also just be a sign of the buds maturing in a healthy way. Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

Soil ph is at 6.5 , will be watering with 6.5 ph water to get about 20 percent runoff every other day till the end , did two larg flushes last week until water was almost clear and my ph was correct . Will be updating daily, pistils have just began to start turning , guessing about 4 weeks left including this one . This plant has been super fun to grow and definitely a challenge haply growing all
