Been a good week for the berries. LST was carried out. Also some HST on number 2 i supercropped her main. I did the finger roll for 10 seconds,felt the fibres loen then bent that baby back a full 110-120 degrees back on herself!!! I was horrified if im honest but when i came out that evening to check she had righted herself and was praying good.. Number 1 was topped and i gave some gentle LST to pull her lower branches out to give the flower sites some light. I tied down one of the 2 new mains a bit to well ad did not forsee she would push so much overnight. The short of it is she grew so much that the green tie i used to secure her just acted like a ninja blade and chopped her in half (hanginging by a few fibres) I have tapped her back and am in no doubt that given her growth so far she will just rejoin the branch and carry on. So looks like i supercropped her too...😂.
Showing signs of preflower. Had first grow feed this week mixed bio grow to an EC of 1.28 and PH to 6.24. they are taking about 1.5l every 2 days with a 15% run off. Will introduce some bloom maybe towards the end of the week but i think there should be a little in the soil to get them started. So we shall watch.
Happy grows thanks for looking.
Stay safe.
@kette420,Why thank you very much. Pleasure to grow these ladies. They kind of do it all themselves as long as the enviroment is okay they seem to thrive..😃
@PharmaZ,my issue was I was so busy building a new grow space I did not notice the pollen sacs forming. I think maybe 7 to 8 sacs popped in the room and everything took a hit. I had to many plants in to small a space so could not check them properly..🤪
@Theia, ok I have had many herms, is it bananas or male sacks by the nodes? Either way you can pluck them off.
The male balls at the nodes don’t tent to grow back and they generally don’t produce as much pollen as male flowers anyhow. If you can pluck them off you can save a crop trust me.
With the nanas 🍌 they don’t produce hardly any usable pollen and sometimes only pollenate the bud that it’s protruding from.
My crystal candy hermd 2 weeks before I chopped my whole crop down. I didn’t find 1 single seed and I smoked my whole harvest myself :p
Tell me your fears?
@Mrs_Larimar,im actually growing this lady for a friend of mine i have not been able to see for a year because of covid. We had a time in Amsterdam years ago where we got really wasted on a big bag of strawberry cough.. Since then we have always joked about it and wanted some more. I could not find the strain in time for this grow so i went for some of this frostberry. The hope is it has a nice sweet taste and also i read you can get some blues out with this lady and that sounded like a challenge i wanted to face.😋. I also got a bean of "Brain Damage" from Growers Choice. But i told myself i would limit the number of plants this grow...lol so she will wait a bit
