Alright so last post was 4/6, and today is 4/18. It’s been nearly 2 weeks without an update and I’m sorry for that. Here’s what’s happened/happening:
I maintained my patience and actually flipped on 4/12 - an extra day later. So the cookies n chem got 8 days of CS treatment preflip. I’ve been applying 50ppm CS once in the early morning 4 hours before lights on, and once at lights off.
I took some photos yesterday, day 5 of flower. So here we go.
LA Cheese
This plant is short and squat still, but her mains are growing great. By far the biggest specimen of this group of seeds I’ve grown. You can see on her top most main branches how tightly this plant stacks nodes. Every branch is like that, no long internode lengths anywhere. It’s fucking awesome. Also requires a ton of work to get a nice shape out of her though. Otherwise she’s just small and dinky.
Grandpa Punch
I think by now you guys maybe see how I structure my plants. This ones no different. She’s taken quite nicely to the shape and has 8 leaders with maybe a dozen strong satellite branches. One thing I’m doing slightly differently on a number of my plants is, training the low down branches (nodes 1-2/3) out instead of removing. I’m trying to take advantage of the
@Mars Hydro TS3000 and it’s great canopy penetration. I will remove all the growth save the top one on the low branches. Should provide me a nice sized flower on the end of each stick at least. seen the quality these seeds are capable of, so I should be in for something out of sight.
Garlic Sherbert
The garlic sherb is looking really nice and strong. It’s got thick red branches that are hard and not easily bent. She’s also very very different in water consumption compared to the others. She drinks a lot slower. As you see here again, I’ve left the low down nodes on the plant. I’m trying to take advantage of all that light that would normally hit soil. With the TS3000 I’ve got more par down low than I normally would. We’ll see how they turn out. I’ve seen a number of these seeds grown so i know I’m in for a treat.
Xanadu
I’m so excited about this plant. The structure is tightly stacked with few, very strong lead branches. It has side growths that stay low and just get larger. There’s a reason that jar was down to a quarter after just a couple months. I love this stuff. It’s focused, relaxed, happy and giggly. Very good for social smoking. Good wake and bake weed with a very considerable cure. Less time in the jar it’s a bit too heavy to smoke in the morning. It sort of energizes up over time. Also the nugs are
beautiful.
Cookies n Chem
If you look very close in the bottom left of the plant, you can see clear plastic tape around one of the branches. That is the treated branch, that im hoping will give me plenty of pollen. It’s part of the top canopy. This plant’s got some scruff around the bottom that I should’ve removed before the photo. It’s just from being a held clone in a solo cup for a long time. She looks great though. I love this cultivar immensely, that’s why I went with such a strong pollen branch. I really would like a large amount of S1s. That’s my first and foremost goal.
Killer A5 Haze
Okay, last plant in the tent. She looks alright. She’s got this weird Haze posture that I’ve seen before... some environmental condition she wants to be different - and my guess would be heat and humidity. Looks okay though, healthy and growing vigorously. I just hope I can keep her healthy all the way through flower.
I think things are shaping up really nicely. They’ve all greened up. It’ll be interesting to see how big they get as they transition into flower. As they grow, I’ll be training them down with GDBGum®. Until next time.
with the CS!
