Herercane test run

Wicked_Stix Here comes the Herercane! This is a cross of the jack herer from seedsman that puts on huge lemony colas and my frosty sugar cane pheno aka cane sugar. Hoping to find a nice balance of potency and weight in this strain. Got her going in the dutch buckets. She is a little behind the other plants, but I'm sure she will catch up pretty soon. Will be getting 24 hour irrigation and 24 hour light for now.

Wicked_Stix Topped this little herercane on day 11 and she is starting to grow some little branches. I upped the maxigro to .5 tsp per gallon. Other than that just playing the waiting game....

Wicked_Stix Been away from the plants for a couple days but I returned to a lot of dense growth. Removed a couple leaves and spread them out a little. Will be switching to flower soon. I received my new ts1000 light from Mars Hydro today and it is a really nice light. After seeing the impressive numbers this light put out on the migro test I had to try it. She will be hooked up in the mars tent soon.

Wicked_Stix Everything is going smooth. Starting to see some stretch. I have removed a few leaves on the top to help get light deeper into the plants. I am going to start them on some maxibloom when they start popping pistils.

Wicked_Stix Not going to go into much detail on the individual plants this week since there is nothing exciting to report. Only note this week is something we all pretty much know already. Organics and hydroponics dont play well together! I was using gringo Rasta calmag and it clogged all my feed lines. I ordered some calimagic so this wont be an issue anymore. Everyone is growing well and stretching quite a bit. I started them on some maxibloom. I will increase it as I lower the maxigro over the next couple weeks. Pretty boring right now, but stick around a few weeks and that might change.

Wicked_Stix Herercane is doing well and putting on some stretch. I can see the sativa traits coming out in the leaves pretty dominate. I have them on half bloom and half grow now. Will probably cut out the maxigro in about a week and start them in a pinch if flower boosters. Other than that everything is running smooth.

Wicked_Stix All the plants are building buds. This herercane has big pistils just like the jack herer parent. Hoping the sugar cane brings some elevated frost to it. Gave them a little beastie bloomz. I cut them off the maxigro today since the leaf tips are burning. Other than that everything is going smooth.

Wicked_Stix The buds on this herercane have a lot of those little round leaves in them. I'm not a fan of the visual or the challenge it presents in trimming. Hope others trying this strain get some better phenos. If not, then Herercane wont be sticking around...I gave the girls a flush and a complete water change this week. That was only the second water change they have had this grow. I have just been letting them drink the reservoir almost empty and then filling it up with fresh nutes. The 5 plants are drinking about 4 gallons a day combined. Been running AC when the lights are on and the dehumidifier 24 hours a day. All of the plants are showing some decent trichome production. Running 1/2 tsp maxibloom and 1/8 tsp beastie bloomz per gallon every time I add water. Seems to be keeping everyone happy.

Wicked_Stix I fill the rez, they empty the rez. Then I fill it again....

Wicked_Stix I wasn't impressed with the bud structure on the herercane a few weeks ago but I have changed my mind. She has some fat frosty buds and she is going to pack some weight. Lowered the temps to 72. Going to keep the juice pumping

Wicked_Stix Shes getting fat and sticky. Probably a few weeks left to go. Just going to keep giving her the juice

Wicked_Stix Starting to swell up and ripen. Will start flushing in about a week

Wicked_Stix I like good weed....
