Another week in the bloom room and there's good news and bad news. The good news is that brix is now over 10 across the board. The bad news is that brix isn't over 13 on any of 'em. But I think I can fix it. I think my last batch of EWC was iffy. I have new stuff now, so I'll finish out these three or four that are fading badly and add some extra EWC when I recook the soil after harvest. That, and all the fans I've been tossing in there should raise the humus levels significantly over the next few weeks. My soil recycling is also slowing down as I gear down for summer, so I have 30 gallons that have been cooking for almost a month, and another 15 that won't have to be touched for a couple months. If things go well this summer I might even spring for a soil test to see where I'm at.
Temps are back to where I want them at 62-81 and the plants love it. It's weird to see shiny yellow leaves spiking up to the light.
Ever'body's happy happy even though brix sucks. I got myself all icky sticky pulling yellow fans off WP2 and SLH2.
The buds on WP2 look spectacular, into a serious swell, rapidly forming new pale fat calyxes. Gawd, I just love it when that happens.
This will be my last White Panther and she's gonna do her genetics proud - good girl!
WP2 - 138 days old - 56 days 12/12 - 46 days since pistils - brix 10/10
SLH2 will be smaller than the reveg but still in the 2.5 ounce range I think. Brix has been slowly rising on this one so maybe I can get it respectable before harvest.
SLH2 - 138 days old - 49 days 12/12 - 41 days since pistils - brix 12/13
Carn1 is yellowing as badly as WP2 and SLH2, but it has some healthy weight and is doing well at making trichs. She just finished her Cat drench, so she's resting a bit.
Carn1 - 99 days old - 35 days 12/12 - 24 days since pistils - brix 12/12
Carn2 is beginning to show a little fade but it's too early to tell how bad it'll be - just had her first drench.
Carn2 - 99 days old - 27 days 12/12 - 20 days since pistils - brix 10/11
PanaSeed is still very green like her mother was. I've been looking for the telltale purple hues, but haven't seen enough to be sure this will be a strong purple. I just gave this one a recharge with the new EWC so we'll see how she does in full bloom.
Panama Seed - 86 days - 28 days 12/12 - 17 days since pistils - brix 10/10
Green Love Potion is a real stretcher! She's gonna be a little small but I'm glad now that I didn't keep her in veg any longer. If I ran this one again, I'd train for more tops. It has a tendency to grow very stiff stems straight up. Heheh, and you saw what happened when I tried to spread her out. These were the crispest stems I've run into - they snap like nuthin.
Green Love Potion - 70 days old - 18 days 12/12 - 8 days since pistils - brix 10/11
The first Grapefruit cut, GF1, is about a foot tall and a week away from the flip. LST training turned out well, with about nine tops heading into bloom.
GF1 - 99 days old
Carn3 and WWxSk1 are picking up speed and should be ready to pot in a couple more weeks.
WWSk - 22 days old
Carn3 - 43 days old
Cotton Candy x Carnival is doing well.
CCC - 5 days old
When I eventually found it, I dipped it in some rooting powder and stuck it in a cup of wet soil. That was 2 days ago. These HB cuts really root well!
You gonna let her out like that?! haha. Hope she buds like crazy for ya!
