Enter the Mind of JimmyJack

Yesterday I topped all plants (except one I intend lay down and tie) and the tiny clones. The big clone I topped both colas that came from the first top. It's growing asymmetrically, but I'll train it to be even.

The flowering is coming along. I've been watering her about every two days at 77dF and 25%RH. This is into week 7 after flip.

I shouldn't have to do anything but water until chop or flip. But I may top-dress the veggies with that 4-4-4 in a couple more weeks.

Thought I'd pop in and drop some photos.

Veg tent is doing great. Super cropped the big clone to break apical dominance into symmetry. Bent over the tall lanky one. Repotted the last one into an extra fabric pot. The tiny monster crop never rooted, but the other is growing new leaves (and looks kinda weird with the hairy leaves).


The flowering plant doesn't seem to be doing anything, but it's probably just fattening.



No nutes or ferts for about two weeks. I may topdress the veggies in the next few days with some Jobe's.

The last one in the fabric pot is struggling. I pulled it out of the tent and watered the crap out of it. Put in almost a gallon and maybe 10 oz. came out the bottom. I'll run with that and see how it goes. It's a small enough plant that it was kinda like a mini soil flush (the nitrogen is obviously way high for this strain).

I'm starting to think my mediums have an overall lack of sulfur. I ordered some gypsum. It should show up soon. The deficiency is not bad, but I think the new shoots are a bit more lime green than they should be. You can kinda see it on past pictures. And all of the different strains are showing long purple streaks on the stems now. They could be growing faster, too.

I'll post some new pictures after the gypsum shows up. I may try to make a tea, if it can be done with gypsum. But I'll be watering about then nonetheless.

So turns out powdered agricultural gypsum is water soluble and makes sulfur readily available to plants. Easy peasy win win.

Still waiting on the gypsum. Local store only had granules. Should arrive early next week.

Pic as promised:

Whoops, looks like I left my little blurple on in back.

Oh yeah, never mentioned that I kept the 100W blurple going to help with coverage under that little TSW2000.

It's been a week and much has happened.

The buds are filling in and fattening. She only makes it about 36 hours between waterings.

The veg tent is going well. Gender is starting to show, but nothing conclusive yet.

Got the light raised about 28" and turned it up to 100%. Took some clones for the 2x2 and gave them the blurple. Set some cuttings in the 12/12 light.

The gypsum finally showed up today, so I made some tea and put it on every plant. I'm glad I waited for this mined rock. I'm excited to see how they respond over the next few days.

Funny thing: I broke a branch super cropping, so I've been super cropping the other side into a crown.

I'll take a better picture another day. It has three crops in it now anyway. Only two show up in that picture.

I promised a picture of my weird super crop:

I have four in there now. I got it going where I want it, but after it stretches a bit more I'll put one more at the top to fill it out.

The veg tent LOVES the gypsum.

It greened up and took off. The flowering gal even got some, and she seems a bit perkier.

I ditched the super crop since it was growing so slowly. I have been doing lots of LST and rearranging on the others. A few clones had enough roots for planting.

I'll switch to flower after they straighten out and stretch a bit. Gotta get those clones back in the 2x2 after drying the one that's almost done.

She has another week or two. The calyxes are just starting to swell and the pistils have slowed down a lot. The trichomes on the sugar leaves are getting milky, but they're still clear on the buds. Getting close!

I took cuttings of the vegging bagseeds and put them under the HPS. I think all four are female. I actually wanted a male so I could do seeds, but alas. I will just have to make do! Haha. I haven't ever sexed with cuttings, and calyxes with pistils are growing out of the top (kind of the side of the top). I assume only females ever do that, even at the apex, so girls, right?

I'm pretty happy with how the veg tent is going. So I hit all plants with some 4-4-4, added a layer of compost to the tops, and raised the light back up to 27".


I'll probably switch to flower in another week or so.

Clones keep coming out and I keep potting them. Most are doing pretty well, but all are greening up. I should be done starting clones in the 2x2 this weekend, then I can start to figure out which I want to keep as mothers. One of each at least for now. We'll see how they all do.

My timing is a little disjointed. I'd like to chop and hang dark in the 2x2, but she ain't ripe. But I need clones out of the 4x4 when I switch it to 12/12. I want to keep the two best and make them mothers, and put them in the 2x2. They might just have to live out of a tent for a bit while I dry the harvest, I guess.
