It is just a stereo test for 2 seeds from Bob Marley Seeds of Gagarin Auto. The purpose of the test is to see how equal these two seeds will show growing compared to each other)
This week shows that two seeds look almost the same in growing, they look like two native sisters))) Looking forward to use my favorite LST technique in order to assign all future buds still at the time of vegging)) and it will be next week
Thats time for doing some defoliation together with LST techniques!!! We do that more carefully than earlier, concerning former fails about it))) Anyway, plant show the same genetics from the seed, from now on we make the main goal of the test - harvesting the maximum buds)
On this week we have to behave ourselves right and not to fail to do anything here)) If we will be too lucky we will do topping or fimmimng before the plants get into blooming)
Both plants started to Bloom at the exact time expected. As it is also an experiment we would like not to stress them at all as possible))) in order for us to see what can plant be in terms of perspectives)
Two cosmonauts are flowering like two twins, they were not highly stressed and will be treated lightly with nutrients, After this week we will start to do some torturing)))
What is new to both plants here is that I lolipopped them because plants became bushy and became not vetilated correctly at the bottom. So I defoliated all not needed fan leaves together with microbuds at the bottom of the stems)) the nutritions treatments will be a bit increased to these plants, they feel alright as I see, why not?)))
Here the next week of flowering begins with our Gagarins. Plant are developing are pretty slow, i think it is because of sativa. There some lack of Nitrogen on some leaves, but it is not a big deal. So on this week we have to see how buds will become bigger and thicker))
Nope, that is no so fast)) Unfortunately I overdosed plants with nutrients. we have here yellow and brown burned leaves, after a 1 liter flushing it showed 1600 ppm). pretty much) so from now on I am fixing that problem I made)
This 10th week we begin here with some old yellow leaves and a slow growth by some reason)) We changed the feeding solution, so everything have to become better this week) I am going to leave soon for a couple of days, so everything has to be settled for these days in order) i hope them two will survive when i return)
12/5 Both @cosmonauts are doing to the end))) I think two weeks and we will cut them. Colas still getting bigger and the plant is stilll flowering, leaves are yellowing and falling apart partly. Did not check for trichomas, will do it next time when i will be back from work to my little garden. then the plans will be more clarified for the plant,
12/8 Seems that they are ready for harvest, trichmas are at the correct stance. leaving them for a couple of days then will put them both to three days of darkness' box.
This week i thought was the last but after looking at trichomas I definitely would wait a couple of days and only then cut the plants. Anyway they almost ready and it just a question of time)
the yield here was very small, not as expected. I used to grow a while ago this strain from another breder with much better results. as we remember from the beginning one of two gagarins accidentally lost its main cola, so we just continued to grow the strain without much hope for yield. Anyway everything went positively and we already started to taste it even before curing)))
I would say it is a casual strong hemp from early 90s)) yeah it is very strong (like FastBuds), but looks slike hemp, tastes like dry grass and on touch is weak and thin. frankly, all those gagarins just another old well known strain with different commercial name)
This time the second Gagarin has a main cola comparing to another one, but the outcome is also very small) The smoking effect is very good though) Cloth bags which i used for these two plants 12.5L were too small+bad overmineralized water did thier job to my small harverst, but i consider the result as a positive one - I am still learning to grow and it was a nice experience)
