Alright we are 2 weeks in! Just when I had decided to keep all 6 minis my buddy called me with an emergency and was glad to take 3 of the girls off my hands. Works out well as I will now have 2 people to access these genetics from in the future. I may lose some weight in the final harvest but it should be minor with the improved spacing.
The stretch the past week has been sick!
Gave the girls their day 14 flush tonight. Flushed with 7mL clearex per gallon, then followed with water + florablend and sweetener. I will let them dry out for at least 3 days, hoping for 4 but they have been drying out rather quick with this heat. Next few days are going to be much milder so I'll take what I can get weather wise. Once they dry out good I will switch to a more aggressive bloom mix and start adding the liquid koolbloom at 1.5-2.5 mL
Black Russian
BR is looking pretty good. I think she is still to closely bunched together but she just pulls herself back in whenever I try to tie her out. I might look to fab a DIY ring to tie her heads to and spread her out some. She is definitely behind the other 2 in calyx formation so far. She has not developed much of a distinguishable aroma yet, just dank smell when I rub the leaves. I am hoping the rest of the stretch will be minimal from here.
Mazar x GWS
Maz is looking real good I think. She has some decent spacing between her 6 heads and her stretch has been the least severe by far. She is definitely shorter than the others so I have been having to prop her up and keep her in the "goldilocks" zone of the 250. She has really nice node spacing and is developing very nicely. She is already smelling very nice, like a sweet hash smell. Her clusters are starting out very tight leading me to believe she will be very dense. Looking forward to seeing her in full bloom.
NL x Skunk
NL is looking good. She is very thick limbed and her 4 arms will fill out very nice I am thinking. She is already developing very well and her node spacing is also pretty good. She is not showing any skunk aroma up to this point, very sweet kinda fruity smelling, with some dank smell when you rub the leaves.
Going to try and reconfigure the stand for the video cam to get some better shots for future timelapses. Tried the 30 sec intervals and like the little bit I have been able to record so far. Works out to around 38 sec total run time over the 11 hours of light on time. Will see if I can get this whole next week in and string the lot of em together into one vid. Next pic update will be Saturday hopefully, if not might wait till the week 3 update. Been a busy summer so far haven't been able to update as much as I would like. Try to make up for it with some timelapse for you guys. Peace all!
Sadly haven't been able to continue the timelapse experiment as I can't get home in time to pull the camera after the lights go out. The LCD screen will continue to shine light till the battery goes dead and can't have that once the it goes dark in there. Hope to get a few night worth of footage this week though and maybe pick up some bulking as they have responded to the P/K boost fairly well. Was going to post a small pic update but apparently I can't use my ENTER key right now. I'll try to edit the post in a bit maybe.
