Dr. Trevor's Northern Lights: The Saga Of Betty & Wilma

[Doctor Trevor]

From the Better Late Than Never Department....

Today I watered the girls; I was a day or two late in doing this. The girls' leaves were wilting a little. That should correct itself over night. Betty drank about 3.75 quarts of pH-adjusted water before there was run off. Wilma drank nearly four quarts before run off.

Trichomes are milky, still not brown.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

Feeding day for the girls. Each received a gallon nute solution of the following:

ts of Big Bloom;
2 ts of Grow Big
2 ts of Tiger Bloom;
2 tb of Terpinator;
.5 ts of Open sersame;
.25 ts Sensei Cal Mag-Xtra.

Some of Betty's leaves are turning yellow, hence the Cal Mag Extra.

While Wilma's leaves are still green, they are curling.

Trichomes are still milky.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

Today, I watered the girls. Betty took in about 2.5 quarts before there was run off. Wilma took in three.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

Feeding day for the girls. I prepared a gallon of nute solution for each of them, consisting of the following:

3 ts of Big Bloom;
2 ts of Tiger Bloom;
2 tb of Terpinator;
.125 ts Sensei Cal Mag-Xtra.

The nitrogen problem continues. I removed the Open Sesame from the girls' diet because of the N. Unfortunately, I had added some Cal Mag-Xtra before I saw it, too, contained N..

Trichomes are still milky. Wondering about that.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

I just watered the girls. I'm pretty baked, right now, so that's it.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

Last night, I flushed Betty and Wilma, using fifteen gallons of water and 1.5 cups of Clearex.

Afterwards, I fed each girl 2 ml of Cal-Mag Xtra and 1 tb of Big Bloom, mixed in a half gallon of water.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

Fed the girls. I prepared a gallon of nute solution for each of them, consisting of the following:

3 ts of Big Bloom;
2 ts of Tiger Bloom;
2 tb of Terpinator;
.25 ts Cha-Ching.


Trichomes are still milky.

Yesterday, I harvested Betty; today, I harvested Wilma. I didn't weigh anything but I think I did pretty well, at least as much as my last two plants. And I got a few good-size buds.

I started the germination on Alice and Trixie two nights ago.

Thank you, everyone for helping me out.

oh man, where are the amber trichome pictures? haha.. anyways, good job, look forward to the smoke report.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

I'll let you know about the butter report; I smoke very little.

 

[Renaissance Man]

Even better

Turns out, not only were there bananas on both girls, but there was also a little white mold. I've read mixed opinions on whether you can decarb this cannabis and safely use it in edibles.

I understand whether the mold came from. I'm trying to figure out the nannas. I never jolted the girls in any way. There have been a few instances where the tent got cold. Could that have caused them?

My understanding is that lighting is what triggers that. I think the temperature change will result in color of the leaves/pistils? I don't know, I'm still very new at this.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

Light triggers the bananas? Why doesn't it do it all the time? I'm sure some strain are more resilient than others but... you know....

I believe I found a seed in the bud. My first seed!

Sometimes plants will attempt to self pollinate and keep their genetics alive late into flower, other times it's stress related. I topped the apical meristem back by more than a foot one time and got a big nanner right where I topped.
I also did a staggered harvest last year and ended up with a few seeds as a surprise. It's not a big deal if it's just a couple, might even be a chance for you to play around with the genetics again. Congrats on the harvest DT.

I found one or two seeds (and maybe a few still forming).

I wouldn't congrats me on this, due to the mold problem.

That is my understanding.. light leaks or variable lighting during flower can stress and lead to seeds.
