Ed's Mother Wappa & 1st Auto Grow

[Ghostwriter31]

Yes Sir I put up a second 2x4 tent. I did this because I calculated it would take 2 tents to supply myself and maybe have a little left over. This new tent has the Wappa Mother and a few Autos. The other tent will stay in 12/12 and next house Wappa clones. This will let me get the 12/12 tent yielding Wappa every two months.

Ahh I see now , kinda like myself
Me, I smoke or consume way too much lol . I’ve learned a few things so my yields should increase along with ripeness but I need two tents going to keep it going so I keep going and don’t have to give my hard earned money to some overpriced dispensary on some super over priced cannabis products

In Tent 2 Today

Like a stoner will, I put the fan input up high so later it got in the way of the light going up.

Switched the electric and fan duct so the fan is now at the bottom.

I think I may have over dried poor Wilhelmina. She perked up, but some ends remained toasty. She also had two leaves with small dry brown spots, which I also cut away.

I noticed the lights out/fans out humidity got too high, so I took the exhaust fan off the timer and have that running 24/7. Humidity got back to normal range with this move.

It may also be Wilhelmina doesn't like to cool temps. We dipped to 60F twice recently, now I am making sure we stay between 65F and 75F for (hopefully) a happy balance on account of the GDB in the other tent where I want to promote purple.

Cleared out bottom growth on all Autos today.

SYRA Cheese needed to have her two side lobes trained down to let her cola catch up.

MILA Critical Mass is still short but getting bushy fast and well positioned to fulfill her namesake, I hope.

In contrast, BELKA Bloody Skunk is tall and lanky, but in a very appealing way.

Wee Panya Purple Punch coming along now. She'll probably be a week or more away from her sisters which would make her my just desserts.

And that's the news from Tent 2 Today.

Tent2 Today

Belka Bloody Skunk reaches up another inch to 13 inches. 3 days since last watering and a light pot. Having many pistils already she is fed 1.5L 50% FF BB nutes.

Mila Critical Mass had a big growth spurt and is now almost 10 inches tall. Also 3 days since last watering and light pots. She is early in pistil production so she got 1.5L 50% FF OS nutes.

Syra Cheese responded pretty well to training down her two side lobes. l reset them for todays growth and I think after that she should be okay. Also 3 days since last watering and light pots. She is also early in pistil production so she got 1.5L 50% FF OS nutes.

Panya Purple Punch got a full flood watering yesterday so she is fine.

Her Royal Highness Queen Wilhelmina Wappa II also had a light pot since her last watering 3 days ago. She got her first nute drink with a 50% solution of Dr. Earth Liquid Gold in 1.5L of water.

The tent humidity is much better with the exhaust fan running 24/7. Also good news, now that the outside temps are above freezing the mini split I installed is doing a better job of maintaining room temperature without supplement.

At first, my wife was like 'TWO TENTS?!'

Then I said 'Try to see 1 4x4 tent split in two pieces for convenience and efficiency.'

Looking into the brown spots further, I read this is often spider mites. Spider mites are also said to cause curled tips, which Wilhelmina also has. Very glad I did some research because my default would be to bug bomb the room which is said to possibly worsen the condition by killing mite predators. Thanks again to TEAM 420.

Belka and Panya both have leaves with brown spots, as does Giulia over in Tent1.

I pulled Wilhelmina out for a close look. If mites are there I can't see them, but my eyes are pretty old now.

Much of what I read about as remedy was not on hand, but one product was so I applied it as directed (not sure if I can reference the name).

The girls all look as happy or happier than ever, hopefully the same is not true for any mites present but not seen.

Fingers crossed.

Today, I figured if I was a particularly mighty mite that survived the great neem attack of March 10th, the last thing I would want is another neem bath on Marth 11th.

So I gave the girls another application. I read mite eggs can take 5 days to hatch so I think 1 more neem mist in 3 days should work.

I am looking carefully but observe no new brown spots.

Wilhelmina is looking great, none the worse for the neem or the clone attempt.

Speaking of clone, it's about 21 hours now and she hasn't died yet. This is my first, I read it can take 1-2 weeks. Humidity and temperature in my improvised clone infirmary are right where the should be. Cut and root gel-ed as directed, fingers crossed.

Wilhelmina clone #1 - Willie One

Think she is going to make it?

Day #28 - 4 week mark!

The Four Autos:
BELKA Bloody Skunk, MILA Critical Mass, SYRA Cheese and wee PANYA Purple Punch

Her Majesty Queen Wilhelmina Wappa the 2nd.

I think Wilhelmina's first clone WILLIE1 is going to make it. Here 4 days after the operation.

I am not hopeful for Willie2 taken yesterday, I think this one is a goner.

Supplemental Clone Report

Willie1 (5 days); Willie2 (3 days - radical surgery - showing signs of recovery!); Willie3 (1 day); Willie4 (1 day)

A cold dry air mass moved in and it's a little tougher keeping humidity up in the infirmary.

I put some orange rinds in their cups to help humidify their environment.

Very proud of Willie2, standing upright overnight. A real survivor.

Willlie1 and Willie2 look well enough to go back under the Mars light today.

Here is a shot of Wilhelmina (PP) Wappa's root stalk at 31 days.

Already the diameter of a quarter?

I've seen people grow lighters before but never a quarter. Hehe
Hope your babies make it out of the infirmary ok Ed.

This being my first grow involving purple buds, I hope you'll all give me some latitude in terms of over posting. I am really enjoying watching Belka Bloody Skunk ripen and color over. These lousy photos do her no justice, she is beautiful!

Love the purples on your girls. Beautiful.
Do you let the temp get a little lower at night to activate the color change.
I been running jher and she turns nice and purple with just a touch of cold at night.

Yes, been trying to keep temps 65F

Much lower than that and I have to start worrying about the clones so it's as low as I dare go

I find just a few degrees is good. Like you say don't want to get too cold.

I also have 2 GDB PPs going in the 12/12 tent, but so far it looks like neither of them are particularly purple, leaning more on the GDB green side ...

Day #35 - 5 Week Mark -

No buds yet on Syra Cheese, Mila Critical Mass or Panya Purple Punch, but they all are growing pistils. Belka Bloody Skunk the only lady building buds at this 5 week mark. 3-5 to go? Can't wait to find out.

Meanwhile, Queen Wilhelmina Wappa chugs along and contributes two more clone attempts today, Willie5 and 6.

Willie 5 and 6.
