Thanks bud!
Rosemary makes em look like shiny beacons of hope....When I had a few males I wanted to harvest some pollen as well. Not enough room for the risk!
no doubt!
I so wish I had another room or tent in another part of the house to allow me to grab some genetics.
The tight internode spacing of these ambrosia's crossed with OG??
Could be a winner.
Grats on finding a couple males. I get nervous when all the regular seeds turn out female. Besides, you probably need the room as those ladies look huge.
No porta scrogs this round? Or do you add those later?
Thanks hiker!
I'm not sure I could say the same about the discovering of males. !0/10 females would make daddy very happy..
But I can see where you're coming from. Variety is the spice of life!
Could definitely use the room too, since the OG's are spreading out a bit.
Had a bit of a scare with Nitrogen toxicity there the other day. (Had never had to deal with it before.)
I guess the final veg feed I gave them was a bit more than they could chew, so they held onto some N causing a temporary lockout and slowing growth..
Did a PH'd flush with drip clean and really low dose bloom ferts.
They're shaking it off now. And might be doing one more flush before introducing bloom ferts again to make sure uptake is good to go. (depending how they do over the next few days of course). If they seem to be reacting to the flush positively?
Then I'll skip the flush and they'll be back on 1/4 strength bloom ferts, which they should be ready for by then. (1/4 strength ferts are pretty much a flush anyway. As long as my nitrogen levels are lower but still enough to keep them happy. It should wash away any remaining buildups and unlock the uptake. Then slowly ramp up the feeds from there)
A bit of a bummer because it's put things back about a week and a half.
But whatevs, at least I got to learn something new about how these new OG's and Ambrosia's like their fert levels during transition.
And most importantly how nitrogen toxicity works.
That's what's so cool about growing new strains for the first time!
And there's so much to learn!!
So many strains!!
About the porta scrogs:
During the big tear down there a few weeks ago, I had to clip them up a bit to make them easier to hide.
And wouldn't be too hard to get put back together. But only having 4 of them with 18+ plants wasn't happnin.
They're way too big to be putting in this grow anyway.
I trained my plants for about 2 months to get them to fill into those suckers, and don't get me wrong, I'm glad I did it, and will be using them again in the future. But they just don't really work with the current settup.
I think a few will be going on some plants outside if everything works out as planned.
