FLC #2 finishing up on the left. Front-middle/back-right are both NL5HSS #5’s, and that Mamilk is front right. Soon as the FLC #2 is done I’ll likely be moving the big NL5HSS.5 over there to finish up. Then move in the two FLC girls (#1 & #2) from the veg tent since their male is getting ready to flower right now. That short NL5HSS.5 up front is getting ready for some Starlite pollen from this male:
Still playing with the ratio’s… Currently at:
1/2 tsp Jack’s Finish
Slightly less than 1/4 tsp Epsom Salt
and it seems to be working well… can tell we’re toeing the line though .
Ok that’s about where I’m at using plant prod I think it’s 5/32/37 but I haven’t been adding Epsom salts , i think I started at day 45 @ 700 ppm I’ve dropped slowly over the last week to 500 I’ll finish around 400 after a 2.5 to 3 week diet of the finisher .
Heh… That’s pretty much exactly what I did, and was planning to do
One thing I just realized… the Jacks Finish doesn’t have any calcium in it whatsoever… Everyone always says finish+epsom salt but what about the calcium? Feel like I should probably skip the epsom salt and do calimagic instead
Edit: yeah, scratching the epsom salt, going with 2ml per gallon CaliMagic. Was doing 3-3.5ml/gallon on the table. So that 2ml/gal calimagic + 1/2tsp Jacks Finish, comes out only 20ppm higher than what I was doing before, and actually adds calcium. Jacks Finish already has some magnesium. Flushed her with the new mix…
He’s got a nice thick stem, good branching.
Only 7 leaf blades, that’s good. 5-7 blades denote the FLC characteristics I’m looking to proliferate, also lines up with the NL5. Any more and I’d think definite haze leaner which I don’t want, usually means sparse buds and I’m going for dense flower clusters on this one. He does have the double serration though from my NL5HSS.1 male so could be sparse and hazy anyways Big question will be what his flower structure looks like
Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing in here currently… 2-3ml/gal in veg and 3-4ml/gal in full flower. Thinking go back to 2-3ml/gal to finish off with the nute switch… but still testing
She looks great, but I’m done working this line. The #1 mom is still solid, not seen a single thing, but if her sister is throwing nanners it’s 100% in the line somewhere(likely that Super Lemon Haze), so I’m done. I chopped the male, chopped this one. Still holding onto the #1 for now but likely gonna chop her too. I’ll come back to recreating this with my actually stable NL5HSS and a good cheese if I can ever find one.
And just waiting on her clone to hurry up and flower so I can make some NL5HSS x Starlite beans… and maybe some MaMilk x Starlite while I’m at it. And that’s about all I got for now.
Yeah it does, especially this one. She’s got fatter buds than the #1 and a sweeter cheesy smell to her. Was gonna be fantastic for the bx2’s… but I just can’t do it. Can’t be proliferating herming genetics.
Will just remake my own version of Northern Cheese Haze with my nl5hss.5 girl, which was my original plan anyways
Thought about defoliating but I don’t need to for RH reason’s and she’s doing great. Nutes are a bit hot for her at the moment but it is what it is. I’ll likely move her out of the table and into a separate setup here in 2 weeks or so, and then start on jacks finish for a finish somewhere around day 70-75
Definitely going to hit this one with some starlite pollen… only a couple branches, but she needs to be bred with. So far I’m pretty impressed with this plant. Just shy of 30" tall meaning she’s 2x height in the first two weeks of flower.
Looks good. Is that how long the NL5HSS usually takes? 70-75 days? Just curious, since I have those seeds and all. I really don’t care how long they take, but I like to have some idea before I start growing a particular strain, just so I’m not surprised when something goes unexpectedly long (I’m looking at you, Purple NL2…).
I finally blazed that PNL2 last night for the first time. I really didn’t mind the high at all. It was decent, kind of a “light” or “airy” sorta feeling for the first 30 or 45 minutes, followed by some head-nodding. I slept really well. It was pretty weak, though. Took me four bong rips, which is two more than I usually need. But it wasn’t as heavy of a high as I was anticipating. I mean, I don’t think I’d smoke it during the day, unless I had nothing at all to do, but it wasn’t as crippling as it sounds like yours turned out. I dunno…
Yeah my keeper is a nl5haze leaner, first time I took her at 80 days with maybe 5% amber and it was absolutely bomb old school high. next time from clone was 83 and that was great but a little too much amber for my liking. next time from clone was 77 and that was about right. last time from clone was 60 and its too early. Its still good, but I’m missing that stoned feeling out of it, but fantastic for being at work or getting stuff done regardless. No anxiety nor paranoia whatsoever.
I’d say there’s a chance for some 63 day finishers in there if you come across a pure nl5 and/or sensi star pheno, especially in the #4 beans, but most will likely be in the 70-84 day range. Interestingly, I didn’t see my nl5hss.1 male alter the FLC flowering times at all really. All around 63 days or so.
For the PNL2’s, yeah that “grape soda” pheno I like the best, but all 3 are rather weak compared to everything else I’ve grown. Likely up there for challenging the best purple herb I’ve had when it comes to strength, but yeah… need a few puffs of em… I almost regret chopping that one(#2 grape soda) honestly. She had the best bud structure and smells and all around high of the 3 I had. The super incensy one’s are the one’s I don’t like as much, real heavy stone to it with the cerebral stuff going on. All 3 give me a rather introspective high. None of them have any muscle-relaxation nor pain-killing properties I can find, but I have slept real well on them the last few nights. Been mixing it with the last bit of Purple MAC I have left (for the pain/relaxing aspect of it) and it’s been
Okay, so from seed, twelve weeks max for the Haze leaners. That’s fine. I don’t have a problem with a twelve week Haze-type plant. Trying to figure out when I’m gonna run some. Next grow is the Bandaid Haze and I decided I’m gonna revisit the Soars, too. And I’m pretty sure Freeborn’s Skycuddler for my “Indica.” That’s not until September 1, though haha. Maybe I’ll run some for my November 1 grow, but probably not until next May’s grow. Shit… That’s a year from now… haha!
I’m trying to think of any purple weed I’ve even smoked. I used to get pretty good Grandaddy Purple twelve years ago. I can’t think of anything else, so I really have no frame of reference. Grape Ape, I got an eighth of that once… I think those are the only two purple-based strains I’ve ever smoked. The PNL2 is definitely weak, though.
Remember when I said, in that Bodhi thread a few days ago, about,”Fuck potency,”? I take it back haha! Or rather, I think I understand that better now. I feel like, no matter how much I smoke of that PNL2, I’m never gonna be really baked. It just seems like a “lite” sorta strain.
yep 12 weeks should be the top-end of the spectrum. No rush on running em but if you do I wanna see pics! It’s gonna be about that long before I get to them myself. Again will be male hunt while I flower out a few of the girls just to see what they look like… possibly find a better mom but not expecting to do so.
Yeah GDP… Grape Ape, Purple Haze(OTHaze) (this is probably the strongest purple I’ve had), there’s a few cookies derivatives that are purple like ice cream cake was almost entirely purple and straight mids… damn thats gelatto x wedding cake… remind me to trade those out
The incense pnl2’s rock me, but me in a drugged up not good way. Needs to be mixed with something else for a full effect. The other one #2 with the grape soda thing, is yeah, real light, but I like it a bit better.
