Sunday was week 3 so went hard in the paint the last few days stripping these ladies down. I tried last year and think I tried to get in there and do it too late into flower. Got a lot of rough weather and sad plants towards the end there. Thede babies are looking nice though, I have a feeling they’re gonna take off! Still figuring out what technique I like best, but I’m starting to realize how and what is DEFINITELY strain-dependent. You see how that chem d is? (First 2 are the before and after of the chem d. ) My buddy grew it last year and it produced spears so he was telling me to strip it higher up...the rule of thumb I was using was 12-18in stripped from the top of the canopy but a few, like that chem d as well as the munson and one of the more thai dominant blue orca hazes I stripped higher...but then you see the red eye skunks...oh wow! didn’t wanna strip that up
It's a constant battle with that stuff. I always have a shovel handy to dig up the new shoots that pop up. My mom makes incredible fresh horseradish sauce for the holidays, otherwise it would be gone by now. That stuff has been in there for years. I keep it in check pretty well.Looking good. You better keep an eye on that horseradish though or it could be popping up in the bed with your cannabis in no time. It's probably already creeping under that fence into your neighbors yard.
I planted some in the wrong place. I've since moved it way back in the corner of the yard. But I still have it popping up all over my garden.
been a wet season so far, hopefully we’ll clear up and see some dry, sunny days for a while. Setup’s looking good, man. What autos are you running?
Watch, 7lb’ers! No but if one of those are autos, you’re right...perfect time to put em out in that size pot. No reason to go any bigger. The reg may take off tho! I’ve been diggin the malted barley w/ ful power and worm casting topdressings! Seems like the ladies really love it. Did a topdress of worm castings and added guano wks 5-7 along w the barley. No issues with pm or bugs whatsoever, minus the occasional fungus gnat. Wondering if the barley had anything to do with it...anyway, lookin good!A couple plants I'm growing outside. I started them outside but then we had those cold nights and overcast skies so they didn't do much and just sat there after popping out of the soil so I moved them inside under the T5's and they started growing. Now that we have some decent weather coming up there outside for the duration. I'll move them in the greenhouse if we get some serious of rain.
One is an auto White Widow + Big Bud that was a freebie from Seedsman. I figured a late planting was a perfect use for an auto. I've only grown one other auto before. The other is from seeds I made from male and female Sensi Ruderalis Indica. That one is from regular seeds so I'm hoping for a female. I'm growing it for the lady because of it's higher CBD content and low THC. She doesn't like the stuff I grow as it's way too strong for her.
They're in soil I mixed myself that cooked in bags in the greenhouse for a couple months. All recycled organic soil that I replenished with amendments. They seem to like it so far. I ran out of soil which is why the one on the right is so low. I'll top dress them later.
Not much to look at right now. How much do you think I'll get? Maybe a pound?
I'm not expecting much. The auto is starting to flower. It's about 15". It's only supposed to get at most 3 feet. It's only the 2nd auto I've ever grown in my life. I guess it's doing OK. Looks a little spindly to me and they both stretched awhile back when we had those 90° days. I haven't fed them anything yet they're just in soil I mixed myself and sitting in the back of the yard. But they're right in the path of the sun when it comes up in the morning until late afternoon so they get plenty of light.
It's been wet, and the nights have been pretty cold. These girls started well in a warm garage under a good light, I'm wondering if I should have left them there longer.
Thanks, the only addition will be clear plastic over the netting after buds start if it looks like it's going to be another rainy summer. Just covering the top should be good enough, I'll let them breath on the sides.
All Mephisto; Walter White, Skylar White, Cosmic Queen, (2) Double Grape, and Forgotten Cookies. The two Double Grape seeds and early growth looked very different, so I'm expecting varied pheno's with those. I've had pretty good luck with Mephistos, the buds are not very dense but they are frosty, potent, and they taste/smell good.
Those walter whites are awesome. Had a buddy pull 6oz out of a 5gallon pot using supersoil a few years ago. Super frosty and stoney.
