These plants are officially through 50 days since sprout. I ended up trying turning off the exhaust fan lights on when it's normally on, which increased the temp and humidity, and the plants exploded with growth. They really enjoyed the warmer, humid climate which makes sense, but now it's just a matter of getting them enough airflow, but honestly, they are doing better with the warmer, more humid climate than the old conditions they were at. I raised the light up a bit and also turned it up to about 75% full power from 60% to get them adjusted again. Now they seem to be thriving I plan on doing a defoliation, giving them a few days, then flipping to flower. They seem to be growing fast enough to fill the tent out pretty well after the stretch, as long as I have some females. I took some before and I'll take some after photos so you can see the difference!
Since I got the temps and humidity up a bit the plants have really started taking off, so I decided to go ahead and flip them to 12/12. We started Day 1 after 51 days off vegetation since sprout. Arise A is the better looking and more symmetric of the two, where B is more sproadic and less nodes, but larger. I hope we have all girls but with regs, I never know until I flip them or take a small clone then flip it asap if you have the essentials and time to do it. I wanted to flip them as soon as they started looking better so that's what I did. Just need to transition from grow to bloom nutrients, and start applying calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. I also just supercrop to control the stretch because I don't like using scrogs since I pull them out of the tent so much. The stretch is the next big phase to keep an eye on.
Last day of this week and it's Day 5 of flower. It's looking like Arise B is back to it's droopy self and I think I see some little balls starting to form, but Arise A seems to be a girl hopefully. I wanted to try and extract some pollen from a male if I got one, but this plant has been such a little baby I think I'm just going to cull it and call it a day. It's been so damn finnicky and honestly I'm glad it's probably a male. The other plants have done fine, it's only been this one that has struggled. I'm also growing another plant ("Blue Dream" bagseed) and it's been fine for the most part. I also had just given them ANOTHER defoliation this week, not very heavy but they had just exploded since I flipped them to 12/12. I'll keep you posted on things here in a couple days when I update the next week!
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, Thank you sir! I just rolled a 2g King palm with a few tops for my YT channel review after a month cure. Definitely my favorite plant I've grown yet.
