Oh, time for an update.
They are going strong. I raised the lights a bit as all of them keep throwing new pistils. Not a bad thing and i’m almost certain that my homemade flower booster (*hfb) has some very important role on this but still, they need to finish some time soon and it started to get a little foxtail-y.
So i raised the lights to decrease the dli and maybe trick them to move into ripening. Who knows. With my cheap lux meter it seems they are getting about 800 umol/m2/s average and this reading is almost same over the whole canopy.
Also i need to do more tests to conclude if the hfb* is the reason for this flower formation or not. I think thats the reason they throw new pistils because this explosive flower growth happened twice during this grow and every time just 2-3 days after i watered with the hfb*. But i need conclusive evidence with identical clones, one being the control plant. I’ll keep experimenting with it and report.
Well anyway, here are the pics.
Ah! I almost forgot, two of the criticals are turning purple too. One looks very promising. #5. Its in a smaller sized pot but the flower formation is very good and its colours are very vibrant. It may also have purple trichomes. I need to get my microscope in there. Definitely will keep it. Lets start with that.
Critical+ #5
Critical+ #2. A real beast.
Blue kush #3. Very robust flower formation. A very good specimen.
Peyote cookies #1 and #3. Truly gorgeous plants. Incredibly deep purple, almost black and amazing frost.
And a family photo.
