Drop date: 10/18/2024
I was able to successfully germinate all three, ended up with two females/one male. No intentions for a seed run so I ditched the male.
Generally speaking, both plants are a bit fickle when it comes to exceeding their DLI, they get really droopy before lights-out, like moreso than most plants. Although I will admit the humidity in the space is lower than optimal.
Fast fwd to where we are now, I’ve cut one clone off each plant & accidentally broke a branch off plant #1 and cloned it so i have two #1s and one #2 clone for now.
See?? Super droopy before the lights go out. *The tan pot has a Mephisto Hendersons Haze auto hitching a ride on this grow.
That’s it for now . No point in yet showing “this is #1 and this is #2” because they’re not very different in veg. But we’ll keep an eye on that as we enter flower
The clones, all still rooting, this is about day 11 and maybe maybe 6 or 7 for the second #1 cut. I guess it is worth noting, the #2 clone has smaller fatter leaves and both #1s have a more standard slightly longer leaf structure
Turning the exhaust off makes the RH spike way too high, I’d rather it be low than high. I’d rather slow veg progress than subject anything to potentially moldy conditions
Still lookin good, though. Just smaller than I’d like for everything’s age
This is basically the environment I’m rockin atm too. Got a miniature forest of autos entering their third week of flower though.
Might have to break out the dehumidifier.
All three clones have nice roots & are showing positive growth . It’s part of the reason I still like cutting fan leaf tips when I clone, it’s much easier to notice and track the new growth.
Everything else got a light defoliation & the two GSOG’s are needing to be transplanted pretty badly
Got them transplanted and into the flower tent but keeping under 18/6 for a while. FUCK, these plants are so picky. They get soooooo droopy when you exceed their DLI or give them any stress. This pic is 15mins after lights turned on. Transplanted them last night & they’ve had one full 18/6 cycle in this tent:
It’s cooler than I’d like, but that shouldn’t be the issue IMO, nor the lower than optimal RH. I still think they’re recovering from root stress and “overwatering”, the coco stays pretty saturated even after 24hrs. Going to let them dry back a bit & see if that helps.
The autoflower in back is doing very well in the same space, even after a decent defoliation
I sprinkled Azos on the roots since i was out of MYKOS which, up until now I was debating whether any root goodies even help prevent transplant shock. … well, considering the mothers are on like day 8 of being saggy whiny brats, I’m starting to think Azos or MYKOS will be an integral part of future transplants:
I did a light defoliation last night even though they’re still drooping, and watered both plants thru with some Azos-water this morning. Gonna see if that helps perk them up quicker, although I can already tell they’re on the up-swing slowly but surely.
At 15.5 hours under lights, the clones start showing me “I’m tired, boss”. I might switch the veg light cycle to 16/8 and see if that helps reduce or eliminate the droop
The auto is auto’ing perfectly fine under 12/12 lighting so basically what I did was kept it on Grow feed until i noticed first flowers @ day 50, at that time switched to Bloom feed. About 2 days of Bloom feed then started adding Hydroplex/PK booster @ 2ml/gal. I’m currently giving it the equivalent of the start of week 3 scheduled diet.
GSOG #2 always finding a reason to droop lol, but the clone of this is super nice so I know it’s just this plant. To be fair, every time this plant levels off, I stress it in some way
GSOG #1 looking pretty standard, but given how the clones were growing I’m anticipating a rad stretch out of this one in the next couple weeks. I’m ready for it this time with a much taller cage
I’ve been very impressed by these so far. I haven’t had to clean then yet so we’ll see how that goes lol! But yeah, very impressed, i have one set on 3/6 and one set on 4/6 in a 4x4 tent and I’m finding that to be my sweet spot
#2 has a really nice “powdered purple candy” vibe, kinda grape but more like a generic sweet jellybean aroma. This one might be the keeper! I really prefer plants that express trichomes and aromas early like this.
Honorable mention, the Henderson’s Haze auto tagging along with these:
(bad pic, sorry) Not much different than #1 but just a slight sweeter powdered candy vibe, structurally very similar. Still leaning on keeping this one of the two.
