Acapulco Gold, Hydro, By Gwhunran 2023

[gwhunran]

That’s cool about the , too bad you couldn’t raise them. And yes that’s wild about her starting to flower . They couldn’t have given you an auto could they? I’m not too familiar with the strain. CL

I doubt it Capn, it was one of five planted in March. So that makes it 3 months old. I've never grown autos but I don't remember any of them taking that long to start flowering from the grows of others. The other four in the tray behaved normally before and after flip. I just hope the early maturing is just that.

Day 56 since flip.

The grow area is running normally. I say this every time, just to say all the equipment is functioning normally.

The buds are continuing to build and tric up steadily. The left side more Sativa looking plant is not as mature as the plant on the right looking more hybrid. They both look good though.

Barney's Farm says this about the smell.

Aroma: Earthy, Pine, Pungent, Sweet

I am detecting the Pine a little and it smells sweet. If I'm not careful putting my nose close, I get a whiff of fermented grain CO2 gas. Not bad but not bud.

I'm enjoying the homemade rosin vape cartridges. It's potent stuff.

The grow area is running normally.

The plants are still looking good. They are still drinking, more than the Fuel D.OG. They are not as far along in flower.

I will start posting twice per day on each grow. The first post being an overview of the grow. The 2nd post will be individual colas and their close ups. The close ups being more for tracking trichome production and finally ripeness.

The grow area is running normally.

Last nutrient loaded reservoir change today. Added recommended amounts of GH three part liquid nutes for 17 gallons in Ripen. A lessor amount of CalMag+ was added, and the reservoir was PHed at 5.8-6.0 with PH down. During the afternoon check a small amount of PH up was added as the PH had dropped between checks.

The CO2 bucket is still bubbling slowly.

Be sure and check out the two different pheno colas side by side on one of the photos.

One cola sending all white pistils the other has orange. One ripen faster than the other. Nice pictures btw

Awesome grow so far.

 

[gwhunran]

Yes Dani, I am watching close. The one that's different is the one on the right, getting more ripe. Now the one in front that has fewer colas looks more like the plant on the left, than the one on the right. Earlier in the grow, the front plant looked more like the plant on the right. Maybe I have three different phenos.

its very possible to have a slight different pheno than the other, but your phenos are slightly different only the trained eye can catch these little things. If you wished to continue the testing you should try to see if they have a difference in potency (smokem up and see), resin production, maturity times. If you wanted to make seeds that is...

How about the tall one in the corner how is she compared to the other?

That's what I'm thinking. I just hope the plant on the right is not too ripe by the time the plant on the left is ripe. I will make an attempt to keep the two somewhat separate after harvest but that won't be easy either if their distinctness vanishes with dry and cure. The Panama buds from last year had a very different look between the green and red pheno. One more green and airy, the other more dense and more red/gold in appearance.

I find the idea of breeding interesting, but probably not. It would add a lot more hours to my hobby, and the wife would kill me.

I’ve seen a couple that if I’m remembering correctly took 100 days. I think it was either @Krissi Carbone or @LKABudMan that was growing them. CL btw your AG is looking amazing as usual.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is still bubbling. It's the last one so I'm letting it go until it stops. I don't think it does much for them at this stage.

They look like they are getting frostier.

I think they smell nice but the Fuel D.OG is overpowering the grow area with their odor.

The grow area is running normally.

I am noticing more ripening but the more sativa looking pheno on the left is not as mature as the one on the right. Still betting on 70 but it could go 80.

The CO2 bucket is still slowly bubbling.

Day 61 since flip.

The grow room is running normally.

The CO2 bucket quit. So, no more for this grow.

The plants are still drinking more than the Fuel D.OG in the other tray. PH is staying in range with little adjustment.

The buds are still maturing but they are not in what I'll call the final swelling as I believe the Fuel D.OG is now.

They are starting to smell more. I'll figure it out soon.
