Re: 42 yr old bagseed!
Welcome to the grow!
Woke up this morning and had to go play with the plants. Its gonna be a busy week with Drs., hospitals and all that entails so I had to get everything ready. Made up a new batch of tea and nutes incase Mom in law or wife have to feed the plants.
Lil Monster goes out on to the porch today. It has finally started to recover from getting shinged. Its growing new leaves but I believe it will always be a mini so I'm going to turn it into a houseplant.
Ozzie has just about taken over the growbox!!! It just keeps on spreading out. I measured the longest limb and its 20' long! Perfect plant for scrogging so next week I will be building a new Box just for it.
Harriet is getting bushy and starting to gain height.
Runt has blown my mind! Its fan leaves are huge and it is truely a bush. I'm thinking about FIMming it more but not sure, lets see how this week goes.
Right after these plants started growing I was wondering if they were all the same strain. Harriet and Runt definitely are. Mini, I guess we will never know. Ozzie? Ozzie's growing medium is a lil different from Harriets and Runts in that I added some of the soil from around here and it has alot of clay to it and I'm wondering if that is the reason it is speading out so much.
Every 10 days or so I send off a bit of the soil to the state agricultural dept for testing(hey, its free and they can test better than I can), I got my results back today. PH is dead on 6.8. Cal/mag are a little high but I like it. Phos is good and salts are very low(good thing!) Looks like the nutes are working as advertised.
Small note on bottom states "found in your samples are alot of fresh worm castings which may result in soil being too light. We recommend additional applications of compost to feed farmer helpers and to anchor root system."
Got a question for you all. Has anyone done any splicing of their plants? Its just a wild thought that has been bouncing around in my head(usually when I have a buzz on). I have spliced roses inorder to get certain results in flowering but haven't had the oppertunity with MJ. Sort of like, toning down a super couch lock with a pick me up.
I dont see why it wouldn't work being we are working with the same genes(aint like I want to splice MJ with corn to make gassedahol. I can see it now "No officer I aint stoned my car is!").
Enough mouth diarriha on with the pics!!!!
