I just dropped another Candida too!
If we grow enough of these we'll eventually get the hang of them
.
Hey Shed, I meant to tell you that I enjoyed your update on BC 2.2 immensely. She might enjoy more pruning than usual.
I'll definitely have to keep tucking or taking those big fans that completely cover all the side growth. As it gets bigger I might be able to tuck more, but at this point there's no room. So I've had to pluck a few.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday update! Sunny again today but cloudy tomorrow with rains coming through tomorrow night into Wednesday. Oh wait, that's the weather report. Here are the plants...
Since the Candidas are about to get flipped it was time for a major clean-out. There was way too much going on down under, so while they look pretty much the same from the top, from the side it was a strip and flip operation. I'll give them a few days to settle down and then go 12/12 maybe Wednesday. Here are the before/after pics:
Candida CDWT (I think):
Candida CDNT (I think):
Here's what came off the first one, and the second one was about the same but with fewer cuttings saved in water:
All the leaves are in the freezer.
Oh, this is why I grow outside:
That's 138,300 lux, or 2,558.55 PPFD.
And it's only March!
As long as we're taking a tour of the garden, let's talk about the big three in flower, now flip day 45. I have to say I'm pretty disheartened by the production on these plants, and since it's the same for all, I have to put it down to the cold temperatures they have gotten most of the time during lights out. Even in the tent in the house it was in the low 60s at night, and in the shed it's been the upper 50s. I was expecting a lot more from these given their size, but maybe if the weather warms up they can recover a bit at the end.
Here is the
Oval of Brightness® this morning before I moved them outside:
Here is a shot of the frost on the Peyote Critical. Frosty if not bulky!
And here are examples of the weak bud development on all of them.
PC:
AK (I chopped last May's version at flip day 65...10 days from now
):
SG (smaller buds than the one with fusarium
):
Anyway, I'm trying to stay positive and ride this out. Please remind me in October to plan next winter with the lessons from this winter: only autos will be flowered December through March.
That was my weekend, one in which I barely left the premises, but did get a nap both days! I hope you had a good one, and I'll find out when I catch up on y'all.
