Day 7 of flower update:
I’ve just been using LST techniques to try and mitigate the stretch as much as possible and tucking fan leaves from blocking bud sites. Noticed the plants have been slightly yellow since the initial flip to 12/12 so I’ve been slowly increasing the nutrients and checking PH levels. Found 5 males so far (1 cereal cake and all 4 sour diesel Bx2’s unfortunately) and will continue to monitor for signs of sex on the cereal cakes throughout the next week.
I’ve decided to do an open pollination with my most pungent sour D male x everything else in the tent, so it isn’t a complete washout on the sours. It’s been super mild temps in my area lately so haven’t been running the AC very much and temps have been creeping up to around 81 degrees F in the day and humidity is spiking up at night to above 60% RH. I planned on doing a major defoliation at day 14 along with adding a scrog net after I’ve determined and pulled all the males on the cereal cakes and will probably add a small dehumidifier to keep RH in check during the dark periods. Kinda bummed on the Karma sours and will probably takes clones to flower on regular photoperiods in the future to avoid wasting extra time and resources on unwanted males. On the plus side, this will be my first attempt at a breeding project so wish me luck OG!
