This week I've been maintaining the new seedlings, helping a growmie with some trimming work and staying on top of my flower tent to the best of my ability.
Mr. Wowie took down the first plant from his harvest of some Killer Queen bag seeds he had been saving for a few years. He was able to microscope out his trichomes well, with a 45x microscope with a display screen, he got from Amazon. This tool gave him a way better view than a jewelers loupe. He was able to take the plant down after a dry, and we trimmed it up. We were able to use our Cannabrush Trim Brushes, our Harvest More Trim Bins, and two pairs of snippers too make short work of it. The buds came out awesome! Shout out to the homie on the harvest!
As for my garden today I went ahead and gave the seedlings and the companion clones in the same tent, a dose of Mykos WP with the Trinity from Roots Organic. The Trinity has a Black Strap Molasses, Saponin blend (Q and Yucca), and added Kelp Extract which I've noticed works great when combined with the Mykos WP. Temps have been around 77-79 daily and humidity around 50%. I have been able to start using my hand sprayer instead of a spray bottle for watering now, since the seedlings are now large enough to be watered instead of misted. I'm still using the AC Infinity Seedling Fan in the tent to provide a little air flow. I'm hoping to get another 14 days or so out of these little seedling pots, then I plan on transplanting to half gallons until I can finish my flower run to save tent space.
Ethos Lilac Diesel #22 (x) Grandpa's Cookies #7- The Ethos Seedling has been growing awesome! It looks like it should start its full vegetative growth stage soon! It has been drinking it's water in it's seedling pot nicely. It no longer needs its bread tie and binder clip support I made for it and stands tall on its own. It's leaves are green and begining to come in almost daily. It still stands at 6 inches, so it looks like it finally found a PAR range it wants to be in and stopped it's stretch. Good for me. I now have the PPFD sitting at around 110.
HSO/ Geist Grow Tow Truck- This seedling still looks weird! Its two leaves have a white strip across them and don't look very healthy. The new growth being generated by the plant appears lush and green so I believe it's growing out of whatever is going on. It surely hasn't stopped drinking water, it still keeps up with all it's companion plants and has been growing new growth and keeps on trucking! No pun intended 😅 I'll remove the effected leaves once there are a few more leaves available for the plant to use. It stands at 3 inches tall and hasn't had any trouble standing up since sprouting.
Raspberry Ripple (Flower Tent)- The Flower Tent is on day 25, The number one phenos are doing awesome in the larger 15 gallon grassroots pots with cover crop. The number two phenos are in 5 gallons again this run but also seem to be doing better than last time and the nugs are larger than last time at this stage in flower. I'm not sure if this is to do with the new light (HLG Blackbird) or because I've been doing a slightly heavier feeding of build a flower this run or maybe because i used light doses of build a bloom weekly for the first 3 weeks. Im chalking it up to a combination of everything. I reammended some old soil to use in the 15 gallon pots. I also mixed it with new soil at a 50/50 ratio. This worked well but I could tell it was lacking a little at first. After a few waterings and a build a bloom feeding it all sorted out. I've been plucking some awkward leaves here and there! But this run is coming along well!
That about sums it up for this week! Thanks for checking out my grow diary! -Starfish
