Morning y'all! Hope everyone's garden is staying happy, healthy, green and pest free! Been a busy bit of time around the farm. We chopped down the mystery plant yesterday. It was a clone that I got from a buddy and turns out she is quite the yielder despite her looks.
I grew the mystery plant in a 5 gallon pot, where she vegged from clone for 55 days and flowered for 69 days for a total of 124 days grow time. I got the wet weights on her yesterday and she came in at 868 grams wet....from a 5 gallon. That will equate to somewhere between 175 and 215 grams or 6-7 ounces once dried. I will take that ALL DAY LONG from a 5 gallon pot!!!
The buds smell amazing....definitely excited to try her.
We have also been doing a lot of work with the girls. They have been becoming a big time suck in terms of watering requirements so I have been resurrecting the old water bottle system in the flower tents, as well as working on a bigger version for the outdoor girls. We had some hiccups on the first prototypes and had to make some alterations but as of last night the 2nd attempt went very well with the tent. So that means I have to get them put up in the 2nd tent at some point today.
We got about an inch of rain last night. All the outdoor girls look amazing.....as always after a good thunderstorm rain. That water is just supercharged and the plants always show their appreciation. You just don't get that reaction from plants grown from tap water or well water. Rain water is definitely where its at!! Lets take a look at a few pics of them this morning shall we!
First up, Blue Dream from HSO. She probably grew an inch and a half to 2 inches in the last 12 hours. I also did my first foliar spray on the fence group 2 days ago. I wanted to hit them with something to try and keep these relentless bugs and beetles off of them.
She sprouted on 9 May so she's coming up on being 74 days old at this point.
Next up we have the Sour Pineapple. She was a clone that went into the pot on May 31st so she is 54 days old as of today. Pretty crazy growth rate for sure!! And she is growing so differently than her mom who is on day 25 of flower right now.
Speaking of the Mystery plant that we harvested yesterday....I took a couple cuts off her before flipping her and I through a cut in one of the outdoor blue pots. She got thrown in on June 8th so that puts her at about 45 days old.
She got a spraying from the pests a couple days ago as well. I am curious to see how she yields under the sun vs under the Spydrx.
Lets take a peek at the Stank Genetics girls and see how they are doing. First up is the KBTF or Kushberry Thunderfuck. She's filling out into a big bowl shape where her lowers are coming up and almost wrapping themselves around the plant. The pic doesn't really show it, but for lack of a better description, that's what it looks like to me lol. She is standing right at 6 feet 3 inches tall. She went into this pot on June 7th from her 2 gallon pot.
Then we have the Stankberry. She has taken over as the biggest girl, both in terms of height and diameter in the fence group. She's coming in just under 7' tall right now and closing in 5' in diameter. She's definitely got that christmas tree shape going on! Like her sister, she went into the blue pot on June 7th so they have 46 days in the big pots. I'd say they settled in nicely.
Last one of the Stank Genetics is the DTF. She is about an inch shorter than the Stankberry but she has a much narrower footprint than her bigger sister. The branches are also incredibly stout on the DTF.
That covers the fence group. What about the Deck girls? Ah yes....the Deck girls. Man they are getting big. I gotta move one of these off the deck but I want to wait til it starts flowering so the deer won't eat it. I can't even access the grill on the deck anymore. I guess thats not a terrible problem to have.
First one of the Deck girls is the Sensi Afghani. She just continues to get bigger and bigger. She's the one that looks the closest to being 'flowering'. I am hoping that in another week I will be able to say she's officially in flower.
She went into this pot on May 15th so she's got 68 days in that pot
Beside the Afghani is perhaps the sleeper of this group....the Sour Cherries. For those paying attention, she was the one that got put into soil amended on that same day and she didn't like the hot soil for the first 2 to 3 weeks she was in it. But man after she settled into it and it cooled down, she took the F off!!! She went into her pot on May 7th so she is on day 77 in her pot
And last for this update is the biggest girl of the bunch....Greenhouse Seeds Super Silver Haze. She went into this pot on June 1st so that puts her on day 53 in this pot. She is right at 8 feet tall and almost 6 feet across. And she doesn't appear to be slowing down.
And don't you just love the new growth....man they love the rain!!
