Coco Melon 1

This one is a little smaller than it's sister OG Kush plant, but looking about as wide at the cup so I'll expect to transplant this to the big 5 gallon air pot this week and get it under a dome.

This one looked a little pale and dry in the solo cup I started it in. Next time I think I'll stick to the larger solo cups, I only used the smaller one out of habit planting other seeds. Moved this one into a 5 gallon air pot on 3/2.

Starting to think this one stunted.

This one is growing more than last week, and I'm less worried about stunting. But the leaves have a bit of yellow to them that I don't love. Not sure yet if that's an issue that needs any real attention.

This one seems a little narrow given how tall it is, and the leaves seem short. I'm going to skip feeding it a little grow mix this week as a result.

This plant looks like it's tried to flower a little event though I haven't had it on 12 hours of light. It's not as bas as the OG that I'm growing with it, but it still looks a little like it's tried to flower. I'm not sure if putting it back on a long light cycle or putting it outside mades more sense. This one it definitely too small to flower now, so I can't see what I can lose either way.

This week, after seeing this one appear to stress flower, was all clean water and as much sun light as I could get on this plant. It appears to be responding well. I pruned off some of the lower, thicker vegetation to give it room to grow. The new growth also looks clearly darker and more vegetative. This is still technically on a 16 hour a day timer, but gets carried out into direct sun for as much of the day as possible.

This plant has a weird main stalk. It gets notably thicker about two inches above the soil. I've trained this plant over to the side to expose more light to the branches growing off the large main stalk. I want to train that to possibly horizontal to get as many of the currently larger branches growing vertical off it. Hoping to take cuttings off of this plant tomorrow, likely just one or two with more to follow in a couple of weeks.

The canopy vegetation on this one has gotten really thick. I've continued to LST the larger branches to spread them out at the current height. The plant being off center means I'm laterally training the main branch around the rim of the pot. Cut lower smaller branches for clones this week as well. Since I generally over feed my plants, and this one is still showing purple stems, I'm going to lay of liquid nutrients for at least the next few weeks and see how this develops.

Planning to flip this one to flowering time as soon as I've patched the hole in one of my flowering boxes. Looking forward to seeing how much this one stretches out. Growth has been really tight so far.

Moved this one into a flowering box this week, and give it an initial couple days of fully darkness to kick off. Probably about 56 hours between closing the box and starting up the light cycle. I'm generally worried about over fertilizing my stuff, so I'm leaving nutrients out for a while. I do expect to put langbenite on top of the soil this week or next.

Very minor defoliation today to get some fan leaves off some new buds. Flowers came right along, seem to be developing well. Planning to feed some this week, lightly.

Continuing to not feed this one. It's in the box with the OG Kush, which did curl immediately on a light feed, so I'm good with that on this pass.

Just letting this one grow after all the over fertilization signs I think I saw on the last plant. Buds appear to be bulking up nice this week. As this one hasn't been bottle fed at all, I may try giving it a little next week.

I added a screen over this one since it was handy. The canopy is a little dense. Still not adding any food to the water on this one, as previous plants seem to all have shown signs of over fertilization and I added lot of compost to that recycle.

I'm realizing now that I focused too much on training for large branches and ended up with what was likely not enough canopy. Buds look good. Not to compare different strains too much bud the buds on these and the OG look like they have more bulk than the Blood Orange did at this stage. Given that they're all in similar soil, I think this adds more credibility to the idea that the BOS may have had too much nutrient supplementation. I'll stick with water and langbenite only on this one, and back off on the defoliation which I probably also got carried away with on the BOS.

Still not feeding these anything but water as the soil does show some signs of being a little hot. The other one, OG, seems to feel it more than the coco melon. OG has fully purple stems, and I see a little bit of leaf curl and yellow on the tips. Very small amount, bu the coco plant shows none of this and only a trace of purple on the stems. I'm sure I've noted this before, but the 'mainlining' experiment on the last few plants didn't help as much as I'd hoped. Future plants need to focus on canopy coverage first and branch size second. I took too much foliage off the Blood Orange Sorbet, these look better being left alone, but all of them would have done better to veg more.

Realizing that I got really lazy and never updated the size of this plant. No, this wasn't flowering on a 16/8 light schedule, ever. Sorry for polluting that data GrowDiaries :) This one is looking good and healthy on the buds I have, and still has a decent amount of canopy and no signs of issues. Planning to take this down on or around 7/6 so I can get my coco melon clones into the box it currently lives in. That may or may not happen, I'd like to ripen to 12 weeks but some of that will depend on what my weeks look like.

Looks good, not a lot to add for this week in particular.

Took this one down on 7/4. A little earlier than expected mostly due to needing the box to dry it and the OG Kush. As of 7/8, some of the stems area already snapping a little bit. The room is at 50% and I hung up the whole plant, but that still seems a little quick to dry out so I dialed the dehumidifier back a notch and will consider putting this one in a jar tomorrow if it really seems like it's there.
