Weekly Update: Friday, June 15, 2018
Time to get the tour started.
Clones and Veg Shelf
No roots yet on any cuttings. I’ll be adding on a Royal Cookies cutting tomorrow. To my understanding Cookies has the highest level of b-caryophyllene of any chemovar out there, making it valuable meds. Sooner or later I’ll find a space for it. Until then I’ll keep the line going through clones.
I have a cutting rooting. As soon as it grows roots this plant is history. Aside from the two I’m growing out for J all other plants in my garden from here on out will be hempy.
Even so, I did clean her up a little bit.
The same applies to the Royal Cookies. As soon as I have a rooted clone this girl gets culled. If I had any way to fit her in I’d transplant, but the tents are full and the schedule is as well.
The time will come.
Carnival is looking sweet!
I’ll let her do what she wants, and control the clone following behind more to my personal liking.
She has nice structure. At the moment she’s on half-strength nutes, like all the rest of the veg girls. Next watering they’ll all go to 3/4 and then I’ll have them all up to full strength excepting the little DDAs. They get a longer pass at 1/2 strength until they get a couple more nodes.
Zamaldelica x Panama got bent over a little this week.
I’m hoping some of this lower growth gets excited about growing towards the light.
The new quantum boards should do it. They’ll be here next week.
One last glance back before moving on.
The tiny closet
DDA 8 is my test case for tap water. She was also the one who tried to send her foot out of the perlite, so I’m not sure yet if her droopiness is because the pH is off or because she’s just droopy.
She’s a test case. I’ll stay the course. She has the stronger stem.
DDA9 is ready to take off. Lol! At this stage she’s pretty much picture perfect. She keeps leaning over, so I mounded some perlite for additional support.
On to the tents!
Tent # 1
It is sooo sweet to have a Timber light over this girl. I was getting weary of hauling out a lamp to photograph without the pink/purple light.
She just looks happier to me.
Yeah..... it got a little hot in here, and we went from liquid air to dry almost overnight. I keep forgetting to turn on the humidifiers. I’m beginning to remember to turn the air conditioner on in the bedroom as soon as I wake in the morning, so humidity control can’t be that far behind.
Black D.O.G. (3) got a decent drench made with kelp and EWC on the 11th. I consulted with bobrown14 about the easiest way to get these non-kit girls to a decent harvest and we worked out a plan of these drenches and monthly drenches with malted barley grain.
I think she likes the plan.
Tent #2
Royal Gorilla found herself restrained in an effort to get her a little further from the light. This lamp can’t go any higher and she’s a gangly one.
By tomorrow evening all the tops will be once again praying to the indoor sun.
The thrips are having a field day with this girl. I may break down and pull out the spinosad. Maybe...
Her new growth is stunning!
Tent # 3
The hempy flowering babes are holding their own as they wait for the quantum boards that’ll go over them next week. Those are gonna make a tremendous difference.
This tent has the easiest time staying within preferred environmental parameters. Hash Hound and I are gonna put our heads together and see if we can find a better air flow model for the tents.
Both girls are on the same feeding schedule and at the moment that’s 14 ml of Parts A & B with 1 ml of Energy per gallon of H2O.
Black D.O.G. 2 isn’t going to win any awards for highest yield, but I’ll get something nice from this burst of buds.
Devil’s Carnival 1.7 is starting to rev it up. This chemovar finishes quick, coming in at around 45-50 days. I’m not worried about the chance of her going hermie. It’s pretty much a foregone conclusion. Lol!
And that, ladies and gentleman may be the final buckle tour of this volume of the perpetual. I’m hoping to have the new journal ready to go by next Friday.
Thank you for stopping to share the joy. The sharing increases everyone’s pleasure, don’t you agree? I certainly hope we left you with a warm glow.
I’ll be busy for a while catching that buzz I keep saying I’ll start. Lol! I’ll see you around the threads.
