I received your package today! Thank you!
Well, lets see how this does…
Talk about experiments. Flood and drain setup, 17gal tote, 2x2 botanicare table. Plant is in a spent soil core, surrounded with and sitting on 2-3" of perlite, topped with plain soil, in a 1 gallon fabric pot.
Currently going to try
1ml/gal armorSI
3ml/gal Calmag
.75tsp/gal Maxibloom
She is 16 inches tall and should be ready to go if I did this right. Just need to make sure I’m watering at the right times and keeping track of how much I put in.
I also picked up 100L of Mother Earth Coco and some extra perlite in case I want to try drain to waste coco. Have all these liquid and dry nutes I need to use up and I can’t do that growing organically
I grow in MotherEarth Coco Perlite, straight out of the bag.
Shot of the veg tent
MWCB up front, FLC #2 right behind her in the solo, 6 PNL2’s behind her.
Everything still comin along. Had to pickup some 4-4-4 veg ferts. Scratched it in to everything but the FLC#2 in the solo cup. However I’ve only watered a couple of them so far as they just didn’t need water yet, hopefully should stop the lower leaf nom’ing. Also moved the cat grass back in here as I’m using the 2x2x4 to dry in.
Flower girl is looking fine, not any worse, not really any better either though. Hopefully takes off soon, have her on full flower schedule as of last night after a few days with some extra hours to really build those roots. Once these other FLC clones root I’ll likely put one or two them into these grodan rockwool cubes and into the same 2x2 flood table and see what happens.
I’m also soaking 7x FLC BX1’s I pulled out of the bud on my FLC Reveg girl after 2 months revegging. (Think there’s still a couple left in that bud ) Soaked all 7 in this here shot-glass with water+h2o2 for 12 hour’s, then transferred to paper towel method. 3 have cracked with tails sticking out, as of this morning Going to do these 12/12 from seed in solo’s until I can find a good lemony stem rubbing male.
Those PNL2’s look like they’re enjoying those bigger pots.
I transplanted everything yesterday, looks like I got one female and one I’m on the fence about. But I transplanted her/him anyway. When I was making my final determination, I didn’t even look at the plant labels, just pulled them out of the veg tent and checked for sex, so I was pleasantly surprised when I ended up with one, maybe two PNL2’s. None of the Soars made it, though. Super-bummed about that…
this is like the army all over again lol is pnl2 a purple northern light? ill look them up on the internet lol
Nice looking plants though!
Yeah it’s Bodhi’s Purple Northern Lights #2:
PNL2 = NL#2 x Purple Unicorn F3
@minitiger Yay! That’s nice you got one girl for sure, guess the “hope you get a girl” vibes I sent you worked Sucks on the Soars tho!! You’re going to have to pop some more of those sometime, should definitely be a nice one, considering…
These are definitely appreciating the bigger fabric pots, I just have 1 left, the far back right one, that is still in one of those half liter polyester bags. Never again on those, but that one plant isn’t looking too bad in there. Just need to be able to water these ferts in soon. Still trying to wait for sex before topping, got nothing yet at day 36 of veg.
Yeah, mine took a real long time to sex. I mean, I’m still not positive on some of them and today’s day 55. That’s been happening the last few grows, actually, where it takes much longer than normal for me to tell their sex. I read somewhere that transplanting slows sexing down, although I’ve always done it the same way, transplanting at day 30 and then again around day 45-50 (I’m behind schedule this grow). Never had issues with plants not showing sex until day 50 or so until the last three grows.
Hmm yeah the goji’s I ran took a really long time to sex too. Never had any issues before that run ~6months ago.
Alright, ~36 hours in on Franco’s Lemon Cheese BX1 (FLC #1 x NL5HSS #1)
12hr shotglass soak
<24hr “papertowel” method
7/7 - 100% Success
Here’s Franco’s Lemon Cheese #2
I really feel like she’s a bit more spikey and serrated than the first one is but maybe not…
NL5HSS #5 - Clone 2
She’s not really gotten taller yet but I can tell all the side shoots are growing so I’m gonna say that’s good. Lights just came on so not quite awake yet. Took off the bottom two or three nodes after this pic.
And then I believe we have first confirmed sexing on the Purple NL#2’s
PNL2 #5 (She’s the front middle one in the group)
She looks pretty good. I believe #3 and #6, the one to her right, and back right, are males but its still a bit early to know 100% yet. The other three have not shown anything yet
FLC BX1 another 24hrs later
Got the shell off the front left one right after I snapped this pic. Had to adjust some of the others as they wanna grow upside down and whatnot, joy of starting in paper towels… so far so good tho, if I don’t mess em up any further I should have all 7 up in another day or two…
Then the decision comes of, do I plant in soil and use nutes later, or plant in coco and use nutes soon… gonna be 12/12 from seed for male hunt, and maybe exceptional female hunt too.
Me too. It took a lot to get me away from plastic nursery pots. I thank @Meesh who bullied me into trying fabric pots. Thanks @Meesh! Root Sacks are my favorite.
Usually I poke a hole in the towel and orient the seed correctly so they don’t get confused as to which way is up.
Oh that’s a good idea! Wonder if I can repurpose some foam or 3d print a guide or something for this for long time use
Planted the first FLC #1 clone into coco last night. FLC #2 still coming along…
Got 4 of the 7x FLC BX1’s planted in coco and in the flower tent. Will get the other 3 in there tonight. Gonna be a big cull fest I think
Still waiting on gender reveals for the PNL2’s. Think I might have 2 or 3 girls out of the 6 but still real hard to know for sure yet.
NL5HSS #5 - Clone 2
She’s starting to take off now. Grown 2 inches in the last 2 days, 18 inches tall now but most of the growth seems to be going to the lower branches. Would take another one or two branches off the bottom but I wouldn’t mind having enough to sift later so I’m gonna leave it…
FLC BX1
CannaRoulette! See how this goes, going to cull on leaf shape first, followed by stem rub and gender, whichever of those two come first. Not looking for any girls, but will be keeping any eye out for anything special.
Currently in Mother’s Earth Pure Coco (No Perlite ) amended with ~50% perlite.
Feeding is:
.25ml/Gal ArmourSI
1ml/Gal CaliMagic
.25tsp/Gal Maxigro
PH 5.8
Welp… Trimmed a small bud off the NL5HSS Clone 1 I have drying and been slowly smokin on it as it dries, just needed a change of pace really…
and I’ve found two seeds
Pretty positive the balls that sprouted on the Goji OG F3’s I pulled, pollinated my girl as I haven’t had any other males or balls anywhere else
Least they’re pretty sparse in here, definitely look like they’ve been cooking for the past 5-6 weeks which would also nail it down to those Goji’s being the culprit. Bud still looks pretty good tho
How’s the smoke so far?
We’re at 6 days dried and the stems are still bendy so not 100% sure yet but it’s pretty smooth considering it’s not completely dry yet. The high cuts right through everything else I have, overrides Purple MAC, Russian Snow, Forum Stomper x Creme De La Chem, and Sour Stomper x Double Grape.
I can’t really describe it other than it gives everything like a High-Def look. Real crystal clear high, but also kind of deer-in-the-headlights at times. Fairly relaxing but zero couchlock, munchies tend to set in after 45min or so
Sounds great to me!!
