Monday update, so let's
roll up onto the sidewalk and take a look!
Leading off with pics of a scale, because who doesn't like to see a scale that they're not standing on?
The Jack Herer is still too heavy to water even though it lost 5lbs, almost entirely to evaporation:
Chiquita Banana is almost ready to water:
And the Sour G was actually feeling light even though it weighed the same as the CB:
So I watered it on Saturday. Pics of the actual plant tomorrow!
Well, that was fun, no? Let's move on to the Sour G cuttings I took
about a week ago:
I started de-doming them on Wednesday night for about 20 minutes at a time and left them off for about an hour on Friday night. Now they just live with the domes tipped back for another week or so.
Pollen? Not yet! Here is the Candida STS yesterday morning after I moved the flowering ones outside:
And here are the pollen sacs as of this morning:
Still don't see any pollen, and still I shake the plant over the flowering two in the tent every morning with the fans off. Who knows!
Okay, last for the day are the Spring two in flower. Let's start with the Tin Can Kush on day 135, flip day 34:
And last is the Red Dragon, which is looking less happy than it used to:
The fans are turning purple and the lowers are falling off, and when I tested the substrate it was 7.4 pH (instead of 5.8)!
You would think I would remember from one grow to the next that old ProMix will not hold its pH for this long.
Here are some Red Dragon close-ups:
Anyway, for two weeks my nutes aren't MC-based, and instead are using GrowMore 20-10-20 as the base, which will lower the pH of the ProMix HP. I also flushed them both this morning to make sure the medium was cleared of old salts and ions. We'll see!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: watering to runoff takes a completely different amount of water than saturating the pot. I water to runoff with two gallons in a 7 gallon pot and I can still carry it around. After I flush it with 10 gallons of water, add 2 gallons of nutes, and let it drain, I can barely manage to get it off the table without throwing my back out. For what it's worth!
That's it for me today. I hope your weekend was sunny and warm, but not as warm as it is in the Pacific Northwest today, which is insane!
I'll take pics of the Summer/Fall three tomorrow as well as the flowering Candidas, so don't go far.

Buenos días Shed, I could go back and search, but has the JH been topped yet? What are your plans for it?
Buenos dias Felipe! I topped all three
here back on the 21st (before/after pic
here), and my plans are to see if it ever starts to grow like an un-stunted plant! Can't say it's changed much in the last week...
