The four forest dream cultivars participating in this study have all been jarred as of today.
Control Cultivars FD 1 & 2
FD #1 = 515 Grams Control Cultivar air dried to 111 grams /jarred and curing
FD #2 = 435 Grams Control Cultivar air dried to 114 grams/jarred and curing
Drought Stress Cultivars FD 3 & 4
FD #3 = 346 Grams Delta Cultivar air dried to 54 grams/ jarred and curing
FD #4 = 540 Grams Delta Cultivar air dried to 104 grams/jarred open
During and after the grow notes;
Going into the scrog we observed FD #3 was clearly under-performing her seed sisters. We had to elevate her container to engage the scrog along with her seed sisters. She was partly chosen because of her diminutive size inviting a look at how smaller container plants may perform. She was in a 5 gal container but her size looked like a good comparison to how a good 1 gal cultivar might look. The girls enjoyed perfect weather (temp & RH) and regular fertigation’s. A note about the chow, the flower nutes were given at my normal strength as I had not yet gotten onboard with “less is more” approach yet. The illumination began under 56w FS LED in the clone closet, then 315w FS LED for veg, then 600 HPS for flower. The cultivars had 3 separate occasions they were given Wormstrap Tea (1galRO/112gcasing/2 TBS organic blackstrap molasses) end of veg/30 days flower/end of drought application. The nutrition utilized JR Peters 20-20-20 & 10-30-20.
The Clones that are participating in our study are doing well. The two control plants are obviously in better shape than the Delta babes but they are getting normal fertigation. The stressed cultivars are not going to go anywhere near 11 days. C3 will probably be rescued tomorrow and C4 the next day. With smaller containers and plants sizes involved, it is looking like the trend may be that the target wilt of 50* will occur earlier than with larger plants and containers.
The straw hat will be coming out tonight as we press on with some data mining of information related to better arrangement of the next grow to accommodate more drought stress application studies. Is this thread supposed to carry over to the next grow, or should we start new journals with new grows?
