Weekend Update (beginning week #18)
81 days since flip to 12/12
Happy (Easter) Sunday gang!
Let's see. Not a lot to report on this current grow. I dunno if these Tigers are ever going to finish. I need the space for my summer girls, but it looks like another two weeks, minimum to me. I reduced the light to 11/13 several days ago, not only for the Tigers, but also to try and get the final Panama(+) to show sex. All the others showed their naughty bits much sooner. This Panama(+) is the "tricot". It still puts out nodes with three sets of leaves and branches, but will not show me if it is a boy or girl.
Potential problems with my plans for the summer lineup: Not only is the Panama acting up, but both Zamaldelicas that showed sex and were put back into veg, are not going anywhere very fast. I'm guessing, with the long-finishing strains, trying to reveg after flowering is not a great idea. I'm sure it will work, but I may run out of time before they decide to kick into gear. I do have a substitute GG#4 waiting in the wings if these don't cooperate, or turn out to be male in the case of the Panama. The Pitbull I finally up-canned last week, is very happy being able to stretch her legs. I am going to transplant more today and this week, but moving them around in the big pots is a bitch. I want to get them into the shower for about a month if I can get these Tigers to finish.
I stopped with Brix about a week ago. The Cat drench finally toasted the leaves on both Tigers. They've each had Trans-waters and GE. Next up is a Trans drench...I think.
Here are a few shots of the GT(+) girls yesterday.
These pic's suck, but I grabbed a few of the teens getting ready for their move into 7 gal pots. All but the Pitbull are still in 1 gal. They are getting rained on and the temperature is only in the upper 40's. They still love it compared to indoor lights. I know environment is critical, but sunlight makes up for a lot of other poor conditions.
I'll be spending my Easter Sunday trimming these girls up and moving them to their new homes.
I still hope to add a Zamaldelica(+) and a Panama(+), but they will have to get with the program quick or get left behind.
Some good news on the medical laws here in Oregon. They changed the definition of a mature plant to one that is flowering. Previously, it was ANY plant more than 12" tall or 12" in diameter. That was total BS since most of us cull plenty of plants that size. Also, the legal limit went from 18 immature plants to unlimited. This makes much more sense so we can grow plenty of seedlings in order to get 6 quality mature plants. They are limiting each plant to no more than 12 pounds of finished produce (I should be so lucky). The stupid part is, recreational growing has completely different rules and definitions = confusion for everyone.
