FLOWER WEEK 3
My Base Nutrient Inputs: See VEG WEEK 6 for details of stock solutions A & B.
My grow weeks run from Monday to Sunday.
Another great week of progress this week. The frost levels at the lower bud-sites is impressive.
The stretch has stopped. Laverne grew to 33 inches (total stretch ~12"), and Shirley to 37 inches tall (total stretch ~16").
The Electric Sky 300 ( Version 1, no dimmer 100% power!!) LED is 21" from the tallest colas.
Now that the stretch is over, I will slowly lower the lights each day to help penetrate into the canopy further.
Tuesday 4am - Watering Day - 3 Gallons each of water and nutrients as listed above.
Friday 2am - Watered in 3 Gallons each of water and nutrients as listed above.
Thanks for Viewing,
Peace,
DeaneR😎
@Cantwaitcantwait, Thanks, it's fun to watch the outcome. Credit goes to the people who did all the hard work to produce the two great Strains I used to make this cross though🙏.
Cool! I'm about to pop my first crosses also :-D I reversed Barney's tropicanna banana which was more like tropicanna cookies probably and pollinated all that I had around :-D So have few crosses now. Also bought some regular seeds from Humboldt seed co. and got a male (not filling a diary for it though) so planning to have a few normal crosses. :-D Spraying cutting every day gets pretty tedious at one point, and mine was short so I was spraying for 9 weeks or so :-D Btw most of the seeds produced using colloidal silver should be female since you're using the same genes as the mother (I suppose ?? :-D)
@DeaneR, thanks! And thanks for the banana pun, never thought of that. And because it was so tedious and manual labour I declare it the Banana wank seed series 😆 There's surely ways to improvise on that ahah
@bobtheblob, True...should be feminized. It will be fun to see what traits carry forward. So far these beans are performing as expected. You're right, daily spraying was tedious. I haven't tried the STS method, but it appears easier. Good luck, and enjoy your new crosses...............you put the Banana in all the ladies, lol.
Looks amazing👌, lots of sugar!
How are you liking that light? almost
bought one myself, went with the viparspectra xs 2000
instead, pretty happy with it so far👍.
Smok'em if you got'em!!
@DeaneR,It's a really white light, or so it seems to the naked eye.
According to the info from viparspectra it has a nice spectrum
of light, actually quite high in the red and far red even though you
can't see it. The white cookie seems to like the light but I'll know a bit better
after another grow or two.I'm still liking my CLW 500 solar xtremes, they show a bit more red to the
naked eye and there's a red tinge in the tent, plants love these lights but their 400 watts each
at the wall compared to 240 watts from the viparspectra.
Later!
@northernMike, Thanks Mike👊, I like what I'm seeing from these girls in early flower. I was an early adopter with this light, and therefore, it was expensive compared to a lot of the new china LEDs available on the jungle website. She's a little dated now as far as efficacy, but the plants sure do seem to like it😎. It's very difficult to photograph under. I need a filter to put over my tablet, of some sort. That xs 2000 looks like a good deal @ about 1/2 the price.
