Girls have settled into summer camp nicely. Worries about not taking the transplant diminish more each day and I am gaining more confidence in strong roots with each passing day as well. I had to build a supplemental lighting system for the greenhouse. Here at home we are experiencing a wetter than usual summer so far and with that brings clouds. So I needed to do something. So I built a new greenhouse light. It cranks out some light. Currently at canopy I’m measuring around 600 PPFD. Plants are loving it.
All three plants sexed and all are females. Didn’t think otherwise.
So the formula 707 is performing better than expected. Water retention is crazy. Watered the plants on Sunday with a gallon each , today is Thursday and no water needed. Going to try and get to Sunday for a whole week between watering.
*** update, added a short video from 7am this morning. The girls really do like the homemade light.
*** update, aggravated just lost an hours worth of data. I’ll come back in a while and do it again. Fu.k
*** update, Monday evening 7/21/25 quite a bit to go over so let me go take a toke and we’ll get things started. Hang on.
Ok. Girls had a great weekend. The weather was warm with more sunshine than was predicted. All systems are now a go! All three have entered stretch and fear larger than normal plants are in my future.
Knowing the nutrients were ready and available went ahead and watered them even though the formula 707 could have taken them a couple of days longer before requiring water. Each plant was watered Sunday with 2 gallons of silica amended, 5 ml per gallon Emerald Harvest sturdy stalk. Now bring on those massive colas.
Each plant is showing its own unique characteristics. The 91 Grapes is tall and massive. The Vanilla Fizz is a bush and I think will flower first. The Harvey Wallbanger has yet to produce a leaf that has more than five points, not one, seven point leaf yet.
Started doing a little LST today and will try to do some each day to stay caught up on it and the trimming.
Gave the pots a thorough soaking on Sunday and don’t anticipate having to water them again until Sunday. If I do have to water them again before then that means I have monster plants that are thirsty.
