What would Sunday be without a
PROJECT 28 REPORT!
The hardest part by far of a weed grow is the first 30 days...and here we are. Day 31 is always special. I judge everything I've done and set all future expectations firmly on this day because now we know what we will be working with. The hardest part, starting and establishing a nice group of healthy plants, is DONE.
Now for the fun part...growing buds with those plants!
Since this is the first grow I have ever done that contains only one variety of cannabis, I expect variables to be minimal this run. The usual differences in growth rate, height, and especially maturation aspects between different varieties is almost unworkable on some grows but this one I feel like everyone should do exactly the same thing the whole way. Or will they?
I guess this grow will once and for all show the variety of phenotypes in my Blue Hyena F1 variety. Even though I've grown this five times now, it's hard to tell from grow to grow if a plant is different since all so far have been pretty similar. But now, with 9 total plants, it is highly likely that all major variations will be represented and I will be studying it all very carefully to note any differences in specimens. My hope is there really aren't many, or even any, phenos...just one predictable, strong, pretty girl.
If the garden contains all very similar plants I will feel confident it's a good candidate for the growing market. My intention is to do my absolute best to develop a prime quality seed here, not simply to attempt to cash in on the seed market with something that isn't top shelf. A lot depends on this grow besides producing the actual seeds for the line. If there is anything in this group that I don't like I won't put it out there because again, I don't want to waste any grower's hard-earned time. Or money. I want to capture the essence of this big, high-producing sativa and share her with the world. She has to be an absolute 10 in my estimation before I will let her fly...and anything less will nix the effort.
We will all see together if what we have is worthy.
So now it was time to top the main 6 girls, then scrog.
I use a frame around my grow that has tiny nails on the top side, easy to scrog with heavy cotton twine (best choice, doesn't hurt the plants like other types of line or wire do) and it also gives me flexibility on the scrog design which this time around I need.
I string a section, then tighten, then tie. I want to leave the middle open for the development of a smaller seed/pollen mother which I can remove to blossom in another tent, then collect the pollen there. If I scrog the whole thing I can't remove the one plant so I got stoned and a little creative...
I think it will work. Within days I will have to begin working with branches...how fast they grow!
That done, we go forward with phase two. Healthy, happy, all is well. I'm always a little suspicious when things are going too perfectly so we'll keep an eye on things...
Now for breakfast. Hmmmm...Kandy Kush, or Tahoe OG?
Looks like a day on the couch...!
Peace, Hyena
