Prof's Lab: Diary Of A Bedroom Farmer

[ProfessorFlora]

Here are some sexy pics I took with the camera set to what is apparently 4000K lol. Looks like it blurple to me. I need a new camera....

 

[Pennywise]

Don’t look bad at all.

Don’t look bad at all.

I think its just an interesting trait which I'm not used to seeing. The top leaves have almost rolled up into thin tubes

 

[Pennywise]

Looks like my Bandaid Haze, I reduced my nutrients big time.

 

[ProfessorFlora]

I'm still only feeding them 4.5g of MC which is extended veg levels. She has next to no nutrient burn but does have dark green leaves. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing for now. I was looking at some pics of the potential domesticates and some of them do look quite weird.

 

[Pennywise]

Usually Nitrogen is the cause of the leaves curling under like that.

Do you think skipping a feed or two would be a good idea?

 

[Pennywise]

I’m in coco so I just cut my feed in half. Waiting to see if helps

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Just another hater of nitrogen!

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Being a "Land Race" i bet the native soil they grow in naturally is low in nitrogen.

 

[Pennywise]

Sativas are known to be sensitive to nitrogen levels

 

[Pennywise]

It makes sense they are nutrient poor.

Hey Bean. Welcome to the zoo....of the dead!

Being a "Land Race" i bet the native soil they grow in naturally is low in nitrogen.

They're from northern Afghanistan and judging from the pics of the environment I'd say you may be right. There doesn't seem to be much lush vegetation in the area. I had a thought and maybe it is the humidity which is causing it.

Thanks for the heads up. We will be flowering some sativas next

Hey 420. Today we have a double round of good news which I know is rare for this thread. First up is that the Chocolatina is a female. I knew it would be, well maybe not "knew" but I haven't seen a male take that long to show yet. That means that there will be no more holes in the canopy to sort out.
The second bit of good news is that the Afghan #2 clone has taken so I have stuck it into some soil....

Fuzzy root....

Out of the 2 unknown Afghans this one is still my favourite. I can't be certain and it is only a guess but out of the 4 potential strains which it could be, I believe that it could be a Mazar-I-Shariff. I'm going on leaf shape and general appearance. There is a good chance that we will never know but maybe the finished product will give us another clue.
Lets look at the mother....

Looks like I could have stolen this plant from Sauga. Lovely and green....

A few more days then these are all coming off....

The plants are all nice and low. Best stick her back in the tent....

I'm very happy so far as things could have been very different. Happy growing everyone

 

[Pennywise]

Coming along very nice Prof

 

[ProfessorFlora]

Coming along very nice Prof

Thanks Penny. I was hoping to avoid doing a heavy defol for this round but it is just so humid and I don't have the space for the plants.
I'm hoping they don't go like my other tent which is just weird. I think the gnats are going to town on the roots in coco. There are hardly any gnats in the tents with soil but the coco tent is like the tropics. Flies everywhere. Got some nice stacks but the leaves are dying off very quickly,....

 

[Pennywise]

Aim a fan at the base of the plant at soil level. Gnats are poor flyers and can’t land in the wind. Then a dose of Proxide on the soil or mosquito dunks watered in should take care of them.

lol, I ran and had to go check. Mine are all accounted for so that's all you!
Nice job with the clone and I'm glad to see your feet are on the correct legs now.

I have a new fan turning up tomorrow so I shall see if it will fit down there. It is pretty tight. We can't get reasonably priced BTI products in the uk. I will probably get a cheap bottle of peroxide for the Gorilla Glue but the Wedding Cakes is so close to finishing I don't think it will matter much. There is probably less than a week left for that one.

Fine lookin tops sire

Cheers TC. I started on your journal last night and will have another go later today. Gotta sort out the kiddies first.

Thanks Mr S! I have some more good clone news for you later today. All I will say is that you need some Marmite.
Ha! I put my shoes on the wrong feet.
