BOTH me and the ladies are GLAD the frigging “Tuck” is DONE!!! They were set free yesterday afternoon, here 1/2 day later, they are enjoying their freedom…me too!!! Because I used 3 different strains, it will not be the prettiest scrog in town, but it is what it is.
Appears I made a good guess when I choose Goji#1 for the big net. My Mom screen tells me that ALL 5 of the different Goji’s will be awesome(AGAIN!!.. this cross has yet to produce anything other than stellar results) but there are some differences. Goji #1 smells of big time CITRUS, she will lean towards my original Goji(a good thing) . Goji # 6 smells of GRAPE…hmmmmmm, never had that before. Goji#5 smells of Citrus/Kush…will lean towards the Holy Grail Kush side.
The others are a cross of citrus/Kush smells…NO FUEL(
) as usual!!!
Both of the Goji in the big screen are plant #1. Besides reeking of citrus, she obviously grows very well in VEG anyway. They had no trouble taking up their part of the screen. This pheno also has NO SIGNS of over fert(some Goji are very nute sensitive and will "CLAW: even at mid nute level) nor any other issues. Course, in the Octopots, I have yet to see a single issue with either food or water. Now, lets see if Pheno #1 makes BUDS!!! (she will)
The “Mom” screen has several Chucky’s Bride’s on it. Pheno hunting, looking for one that actually yields something. 2 of them are typical “spindly” …but 1 has some promise, 34 days in I think. IS IT THE ONE in my big screen…do not know, have not had the heart to look yet…lol:
The left half of the Mom screen:
Finally, WHY I left POS (Cloud watcher X StarDog) on the big screen, even though she grows like shit. This is her, and the SAME plant in my big screen, on the little MOM screen. She is absolutely covered(with 5-6 weeks to go!!) , so sticky I cannot touch her, and she REEKS OF STARDOG!!! Cloud Watcher goes 11 weeks average, forgot how long StarDog goes, been a while since I ran her. When I enter the Mom screen room, there is beautiful scent of citrus, fruit, and dark berries…then WHAM…the StarDog HITS!!! When you smash her bud, then smell it real close…it is almost overpowering. THIS plant may grow like SHIT, but FOR SURE she will pack a punch!!! Assuming the POS ever gets above the freaking net that is…She is NOT a "screen friendly strain, lol) live n learn.
I am seeing different expressions in all my plants this run. I am running 11/13 instead of 12/12, and the plants are showing me different sides to them. The 5 Goji’s, although reeking of “Goji” do NOT look like what I have run before,. Just amazing the difference this light schedule makes. My big screen is also running 11 light, so that should show me the same traits as the ladies on the Mom screen.
So far, the differences I can tell from knowing the strains pretty well…More “color” to the Buds, and showed much earlier. A bit different smells. Growth is different, but will tell more when they hit weeks 7/8. No doubt, MORE goo production at this stage(could be the T5’s 2 inches off their heads too) and stretching further down the plant to.
The large screen is running the Nuclear Reactor HPS Gavita DE…the Mom screen the lowly T5’s. Be interesting to see IF THE LIGHT will make much difference. Not in yield (cause it WILL) but in expression, taste, n flavor.
This run is an experiment for me. Cool to have the Octo’s so dialed in I can change other things in the environment and KNOW the plants will be supported properly, and I CAN SEE the difference the environmental change actually makes. Both rooms same temp, humidity, light schedule, and on same feed. Both rooms in same exact soil, just one top fed, the other bottom fed.
Peace,
Jet
and maybe a little to your headache too
