Hello!👋 Here be an update on the beast of a plant that is Quick Sherbet. These will cover up to Day 23 of Bloom, Week 3. The Deets:
The Good:
-She's bulking...already... I'm super impressed with how much weight she's putting on so early into bloom. I felt she would be sparse at first, but this week she has shown some serious potential with fat little nugs peppered all over the place.
-Flowers coming in are nice and dense, trich heavy and oh so sweet smelly. She smells like pepper unless you knock her around, then it's alllll fruit man. Sticky, sticky and doing oh so well.
-Held her form pretty damn well despite my stoner bends here and there. Much better result then with the PSK from Grow #3
The 'Meh:"
-She will need yoyo's, there is no doubt. A non static cloth has been put into place, but she is already getting top heavy here and will need that support. I've installed several already to space the colas for air and light penetration, but soon it will be for more practical reasons. She has so much going on and I'm going to have to do some maintenance and more bracing soon.
-In retrospect, if all had lined up differently and I knew when the FM8 was coming in, I would have allowed this girl to Veg out for another 2-3 weeks, trained as far as possible and flip her in her own unit. Just bad timing and kinda feel like I wasted her potential. She wanted to be so much bigger and that could have easily been accomplished with a few more weeks. Next time👍. Especially now with what I know she can do.
Notes of the Week:
-Everyone's doing pretty well right this week and right now. I've past the paranoia stage where I'm extra vigilant about hermies. No balls or nanners going into week 6 soon, so I think we're good👍
-Re-vamping my seedling process again... but honestly it has to be done. It's the one part of growing that I feel I still don't have down at all. I struggle and stunt them almost 100% of the time, losing days here and there. After 2.5-3 Weeks I'm on my way, but this initial process is painful for me. Did a lot of talking (of course) and started grilling multiple people on their methods, specifically people I could see that had amazing expedited growth early on, prepping them for a great Veg. Lots are on IG but @Philindicus answered a bunch of my questions and b/t everyone's input I've found a new method, medium and additive to help out. Canna family provides man, and thank you Phil for giving me your time. Will be following a few of your pointers and get this right👊
-One of two tent's genetics have been picked and I'm going to keep it simple, believe it or not. Will be running x2-3 LemonGrass and x2-3 Mango Sherbet by Humbolt Seed Company. Depending on whether I go 3 or 5 G fabrics, there will be 2 and 2 or 3 and 3. The other unit hasn't been decided yet, but will be moving on lemon and mango in about a week. Rebuilt and re-acclimated the prop tent so it's ready to go again and we can have a much faster turn over. Cutting a week off per grow and hopefully next round will be a full 3 weeks cut off by starting them elsewhere.
-Bought a vaporizer from Arizer... Love it. Not wasting as much product now and still getting the job done without scorching my lungs. I do like cough lock however... and kinda miss it. Strange.
** Special Note for QS** Looking a dual harvest with her and MS to pull the full potential of the harvest. Extra 1-1.5 Weeks should be worth it**
Cheers and thanks all for stopping by. Happy New Year and all that! Hope you have a good week and enjoy all the little things that give you a sense of happiness. Keep on trucking and I'll check you later. Peace👋✊
you are always welcome... and its necessary to show mistakes,, and in besat cast the solutioms... growing is like life... sunny days and some days with blizzard and troubles
But thats the way we learn....
and there is enough to learn loool
@JinksyGrows,yes you can..........hydrofarm is $168 and its good enough.........considering that you just bought osram leds..........your electric bill will return your investment
@grzesiekkuzniak, LOL! Yep! I would love one but can't afford one. Hoping in the near future, as I keep testing systems, I can get my hands on an actual PAR meter and stop screwing around with ballpark conversions😅. For now I'm hoping to find someone local that I could just borrow one from here and there, lol. Soon!
Watering is really the hardest Part to do it right ....... for me it is like that........
Your Girls really love your Handling, thats easy to see
Kep it up... be a proud canadian and always pop some Seeds
@Mrs_Larimar, Besides seedlings I feel I'm getting better at watering! Now just gotta stop stunting the babies, hahaha. Happy to be Canadian and will keep poppin' and spreading the good word🙏.
@Mrs_Larimar, She's NUTS! She will be moved to her own unit now😂. No matter how many bends I put in and light I put on her, she's just growing out of control!! It's awesome to see and I can also see I will have to up my EC to provide... I'm legit excited😀
@TheUk420Show, Thanks man 💪. Really happy to have this beast. And thankfully no, this isn't the lamp from the contest. Happy to say that system is loooong gone now, hahaha😅👍.
Cheers and Merry Christmas 🎄🙏
@JinksyGrows, I'm doing supercrop on my plants when they stretch like this and they always stretch like this. but supercropped branches keep elevating :))
@HighRoller909, Holy crap man, too real with this one girl😬. She's under her own special lamp now in a tent by herself 😅😅. Gotta do what we gotta do. That or super crop. Hahaha.
@Polaskis, Put em' up! Both the Exotics love their lights man. Persistent prayers. Only now have they stopped a bit due to bud mass pushing them down, but that doesn't stop them from trying😀😅
@SuggaShane, No doubt man😅. Got nothing against the SF series, I really do love them, but this here is some crazy ass tech and is mostly sold/used in commercial LP's😂. Really gotta watch her intensity, especially with UVA. This lamp is actually for a 5x5 too, so there's definitely wasted potential. Probably could have done with the FM6, 480W, but this one allows me to expand without buying more systems👍. I talk to much today... Thanks man! Cheers, lol!
@Mrs_Larimar, Hahaha, you're totally right. Maybe take out the Mehs for a bit too. Nothing bad going on at all😉. I'll take the compliment !!🤣🤣🤣. You know me too well, I think, hahaha.
@SommerVirelli, Thanks man! Literally came in yesterday and I'm running the initial tests before hanging. Holy crap balls it's blinding😅😅😅. Can't wait to grow bigger now man. This lamp will be in a 4x4 but does fully cover 5x5 for veg and bloom😅. I have a dimmer, no worries, hahaha.
