Comprehensive Friday Morning Post
1. First order of business is always to take the Zkittlez from the rig and place her in the sunrise. Here's a cola.
2. Next was to free this little baby from her seed coat and clear coat. Done.
3. The spent soil girl, now freed, looks small but fine. This one needs to green up today for me.
4. After that we tackled the back side of Titan defol, which I saved for this morning when it's cool. Here's the tops post-defoliation.
5. And here's the bottoms post-defol. I also removed all of Titan's lower supports, as per our plan when the buds got big. I think this qualifies as big, so down the ring comes a bit. The reason I did this was, first I support them up to develop in as much light as possible and deal with the squish together for a bit with selective defoliation and fan maintenance, and now, when the buds are, well, pretty big and dense, I let the supports out and the ring comes down a couple inches as a whole. This further opens up all the little buds in between that got more exposed with the defol, and allows for superior air flow, really helping with getting air in between all the nooks and crannies. I can tell at this point that she'll support her lower ring just fine without the supports, even with all the weight they're supporting. This will become very clear at harvest, and you guys will not believe it. I don't. Someone besides me grew this plant. I'm not this good yet.
6. You see the leaf curl on Titan's upper fans. That's from heat. It gets pretty damn warm at the top of the colas for about four hours a day, around 2 pm to 6 pm or so, when the sun pounds the garage door and the ambient temperature in the garage is in the mid to upper 90s. Try keeping two tents in the 70s all the time and at 40% RH or lower when the air around the tents is 95 degrees and the RH is around 60%. It's not that easy. Lol. The pistils and buds don't seem to mind the heat a bit, just the leaves are curling some. No matter, they're not long for the world anyway, most of the big fans are beginning to show their age. All good in Titantown, but here's a picture to show you the proximity of the very tops to the @NextLight 420h, which has performed in spectacular fashion as usual. At that close with the light at 100% it's warm and very ppfd-y.
7. Then we water everyone. Here's a shot of a couple of the Jack Herer buds stacking oh so sweetly, especially for a no-name auto. I'm pretty impressed with this plant, she's very photo-esque in terms of budding out. She should be, you would think, a lot closer to done than the rest of the tent, but as you see, her buds are developing at the same rate as the other plants. I'm wondering if flowering her at 12/12 has something to do with that or not? Maybe the 24 Karat experiment will help shed some light if they get off the ground. This first one is awash in the reds.
8. This one shows Jack's true colors, or a helluvalot closer. You can see in this shot that my measures to increase her green and get her healthy all the way again worked out nicely, her color is sweet as hell now.
That's it for now. Happy Friday everyone! Let's have some damn fun this weekend.
