Pure psychedelic sativa 12/12 from seed 150W HPS grow

[simisimis]

They look great! Most people can't keep a plant healthy for that long even when they are taking care of it! Pure sats are known for looking like they're almost there for weeks! And they always foxtail like that.
I'm asking Santa for some of Ace's Panama for xmas.

Hey man, yeah I know what you mean, even when I felt that confident and thought I know what I'm doing felt like doing a slacklining, constantly trying to keep balance lol.. About foxtailing I've always seen people writing that but never had it myself and was imagining totally different thing Thought fox tail is bud leaves that curl, not the calyxes that build the line you live and you learn haha.. I wonder if foxtailing is showing any signs of finish or it just happens in a process..

chop them there done, Get next crop going

Well I am really not sure if they're done.. After the temps dropped looks like they are having flower period they never had... few weeks ago stigmas were almost all brown, now half of them are white.. and other signs like faster packing progress etc.. Would like more people to help me decide on this
About the next crop... Thinking of making a 1-2 months break... My 4th grow is almost finished and I only recently finished smoking my 2nd harvest haha..

thanks guys for the input!

wow nice plants mate i have never heard of topping ant training combo in a 12/12 grow these sativas are too sexy, Damn

 

[hopeyougotadutch]

Damn dude, they are awesome.


Na, don't take a break, better solution, smoke more.

I've never in my life thought I had too much weed.

 

[MEANGREEN69]

yeah I've always read that topping has to be done 1 week before switching to flower, well, if talking about maximizing the yield maybe, but in my case I was looking for the quality not the quantity and needed a plant to be as low as possible and this method made it possible

Damn dude, they are awesome.


Na, don't take a break, better solution, smoke more.

lol man, there's too many evenings when I need to concentrate and with weed that is sometimes a difficult thing to achieve.
And not that I started cooking Cindy cookies, OMG, now I actually know what the word trippy means.. And Zamal is supposed to be way stronger... so I doubt that I will be consuming that very fast. With a 100g I could last probably a year.and now before the harvest I have like 70g in my stash. If after this harvest I'll have something like 140g, growing for more would be...

hm I just counted how much electricity I consume per month. hah it's $22. I was afraid it's more like 40$. Well if it's only $60 per grow, so fck it, I'll continue growing

I was looking to the plants more closely today, Destroyer in the begining was making very decent stems, forming short and strong and exploded with stigmas two weeks earlier than Zamaldelica, but not in the end it feels like colas are shrinking lol.. It has quite a lot of foliage between buds, way more than zamal. Probably it feels like it's shrinking because not only tops started to foxtail, most of the budsites, thus when you look at the cola, visually it is airy and with a lot of leaves.. Both plants have quite a big mass on stems, I am tying them so they would not fall..

But I've noticed a lot of places of newly developing calyxes, I really think I should give them 1-3 weeks but then again, maybe not? This is where lots of opinions of readers should kick in I guess )))

At least 2-3 more weeks easily patience

At least 2-3 more weeks easily patience

hehe you calmed me down, thanks
Now I'm patient, since all the stress with vacation is over, I do not really care whether it will take 1 or 4 weeks for them to finish. I'm so glad I did not cut them down before leaving, thanks to you guys.

On destroyer ~7 colas are still showing quite a lot of new forming calyxes, however 2 colas looks like they are completely done with brown receded stigmas and everything swollen. Can it be that two tops finished earlier than the others?

I've noticed that when I harvested 4 tops from zamal ~4weeks ago for my wife, the lower part of half harvested stems packed almost as much as I harvested.. nice..

Waiting for the plants to dry out a bit, friends gave double watering for them on saturday and still this morning(after 6 days) it was too early to water them.. I guess watering stress slowed production.

ok, enough observation details for today,
cheers!

Tops often mature faster than the lower buds.

Yeah, that was what I have experienced on my previous grow with a two part harvest on Super Lemon Haze, however it still surprises me haha

But what bothers me is those two tops on Dest that look completely done, except for the very lower part, while other 7 tops are still showing new growth everywhere, so I was thinking that maybe I should partly cut those two branches, so lower part could start packing up already.. but maybe cutting those two branches would cause some stress and wouldn't do any good..
ah.. perhaps it's better just grab a cookie, sit down and wait patiently

 

[hopeyougotadutch]

so fck it, I'll continue growing )))

Hey guys, I got a question for you.
How do you solve grow medium soil compact problem? Since I planted my girls soil pushed down like 20-25%.. I guess not only it leaves less space for roots but also pushes a lot of oxygen away. Zamal is constantly showing overwatering stress even though it is usually watered properly.. I wait for the soil to dry etc so I though that maybe I should do something to make that squeezed soil more fluffy..
Or it's just a part of a process and nobody does anything regarding this?

 

[MrEDuck]

I use a fuckton of perlite in my medium. Not really sure what you can do with it once you have roots in the medium.

 

[simisimis]

maybe it's worth to give a try to water with a bit of hydroperoxide?

since i do not do my own mix, soil is brick packed with roots now and it's impossible to stick a finger half inch.. water sinks rather quick when i water so maybe it's not the end of the world, but being that tight I'm pretty sure plants does not feel real happy..

 

[MrEDuck]

Peroxide will help. Sorry I was distracted earlier and didn't think of it. 1/3rd of a cup/gal of 3% or about 1.25-2mL/L of the concentrate.

hehe be my guest for some delicate half naked bud nudity public demonstration..

So today I took a glass to zoom on them and I think that Destroyer days are actually over.. Those colas with receded stigmas I was talking in previous posts, has already quite a lot of amber resin glands.
Those colas which still show some growth, has less amber, but still like 10-15%. Also I was checking from calyxes, not from bud leaves or somth. Zamaldelica lower leaves are showing stress, prob overwatering or oxygen stress, but upper part is doing real nice, it is still showing some growth, resin glands are cloudy, but almost no amber.
pics..

Dest


Zamal



So I'm thinking about flooding destroyer and putting it in the dark for the next 4 days. As Kite was suggesting in his post

Although I do not want to interfere with Zamal initiative behavior. Here are some more pics.

plants are wicked bro, checked in ace seeds and didn't find destroyer anywhere.. i got a little scared with zamal stretching so much, she seems double in size. I bet you get at least 4 oz from these maybe 5 gl

cause it's not from ace seeds, it's cannabiogen. Kite High recommended me Destroyer and Panama from cannabiogen and Malawi, golden tiger and Zamaldelica from Ace seeds. Well Zamal was really stretchy, but as you see I managed to keep her 1.5foot long. Topping and training in flowering plus some unbalanced feeding causing N excess and overwatering/heat (or something else that caused leaves cupping) will reduce my yield for sure, but I will get 10 times more than I need, so I do not worry that much about the loss, but 4-5oz... naaahhh... those are just big pictures, not the plants I am expecting something about 2-3oz total from both plants. Dest has a lot of foliage that will be trimmed. Anyway, do not want to be guessing too much before harvest..

Even if those plants were really fun to grow, can't wait on getting back to C99 to apply my new gained experience 4 weeks veg, 7weeks flower, uplifting, trippy as hell and the smell... I guess none of police dogs would ever stop me when carrying it lol at the airport..

 

[simisimis]

morning guys, hope you're doing good. Plants are doing ok/ Today I watered zamal with some hydroperoxide, will see if that will solve leave cupping.

Just a quick question. How do I make C99 half the strength she has? I want to grow some for my wife, cause everything she touches is too strong for her. She ate like half a cookie and does not touch space cookies anymore, cause it was too intensive for her. Maybe there's a different strain that has similar phenos but lower thc content, or should I keep C99 longer/shorter than the harvest day? Probably trippy effect is not a priority for her, just light uplifting high that would make her giggle with friends.

to reduce potency of the yields.. not very common question I guess )) anyway "smoke more to get use to it" is not an answer
