********************************************
This week, I was welcomed in a special club. It became clear to me when I opened the tent two days ago. There they were, sticking out one of the main colaās, it was almost impossible to miss them: 2 bright lime green bananaās. It was like the little dicks were smiling to me. I immediately removed them and search all the plants thoroughly multiple times for more, but didnāt found one. So, I guess Iām now a member of the āhermies clubā.
As for the cause: I suspect light stress. The light was close on the canopy, a little closer than (for example) dr. Cocoforcannabis recommends for this light. I found the two bananaās on Jannine and the bud that had them, is the one thatās almost in the middle of the tent, where the light is the brightest. The plant on the left, Kim, was also showing some foxtailing on her highest buds. Hence, I raised the lights 6-7 centimeters. Hopefully, I took away the cause of the hermies; off course, Iām keeping a sharp eye on the buds, but I havenāt found any more than those two.
Also, EC of the drain tends to go up, hence every few days, I now just give them plain pHāed water, to prevent high EC spikes.
The trichomes are developing nicely. I bought a jeweler's loupe to study them, because with my USB microscope itās almost impossible to get a clear picture (I donāt have a steady hand). The girls are 7 weeks into flower: there are no amber trichomes, but most trichomes are partly cloudy (30~50%) and a minority is still fully clear. I guess two more weeks before harvest, maybe 1,5 week. I switch to GHE Ripen later this week. I didnāt use such a product during my first grow, so Iām curious to see if it does something good.
Besides the two (hopefully sterile) bananaās, the plants look and smell great.
Thanks for stopping by, stay safe & keep growing!
