'79 CHRISTMAS BUD
I'm finally gonna' flower out the '79 Christmas Bud plants that emerged as seedlings on February 1st and have been kept as bonsais vegging in a 4" container since then.
A few weeks ago, after I harvested the Platinum Kush Breath from the small tent, I up-potted them into #1's with 2nd run HB soil.
They're starting to fill out nicely and I can see some nice, sturdy colas forming, but neither are in high brix territory yet, and the roots still need to get hooked up with the soil.
Here's '79XB #1 which, if y'all remember, is the "mottled leaves" pheno. She's lookin' kinda "droopy" in this pic (her leaves are always droopy, though!
) and I'm gonna go feed them both after this post:
79XB #2 has "normal" looking leaves, but she's not the healthiest plant I have vegging, either:
Both are likely already rootbound in the #1's since they're not that much bigger than the 4" containers, and they were extremely rootbound in those, after five months, when they were up-potted. I'm keeping them in the #1's until I finish harvesting the sponsored grow (last plant due this weekend) since I've been moving them in & out to be able to use the small tent to dry that harvest.
Either this weekend, or early next week, they'll get up-potted again to their final containers (the #5 SIP's) and, because these plants veg slowly and don't have much of a stretch, I'm guessing about 3-4 weeks until flip, so hopefully I get them a little healthier by then.
I did get the light schedule fixed in the breeding cabinet which is resulting in a short day and long night for them tonight, then they'll be back on 12/12 on the "right" schedule tomorrow. I wasn't able to get pics of them tonight since I had to put them to bed early, but will get some tomorrow.
Happy Harvests!
