Update 12 Day 22 (I regret not using stardates as per the star trek dork in me, not I don’t speak klingon but green girls intrigue me…)
Well #1 is opening up, still a little light but a few more days and she’ll be right as rain once her roots start filling the 1 gallon and eating. Got my RH% back into the mid to upper 50s so the extra dirt worked out (who knew eh? ;))
2-6 the babies are plugging along, will be another 10ish days before they explode if they are like #1…a day in the new light and the stems on the seedlings are getting better…I’m treating them like they were katsu clones till I see different, the dirt isn’t overly hot so might have to rely on more teas then usual, which isn’t a big deal as I have just gotten myself like an extra 11 minutes a week of free time…FML
So the one I was assured is Sour D got put in the 3 gal 2 days ago roughly and it’s exploding, just seems a little to happy…but again I’ve got like 22 days of growing experience and all…to be honest I want to put in in a much larger pot but I’m to old to be lugging 10 gallon smarties around to water, I could do some trays and plumbing, but I’ll be honest I’m doing a GIANT NO NO…growing in dirt…on WHITE CARPET…my bissel gets quite a workout
Chem4 is starting to be pretty happy in its new pot as well…guess I got lucky…I don’t have fancy transplant concoctions…just ground up baby asprin and some worm poo, rarely get shock, it happens, especially when I go all bull in a china shop and tear root balls out of smart pots…
1 is still chugging along, been lights out for a few hours so it’s pretty limp…(whiskey limp… if you get what I’m saying without saying it ) the crinkle would seem to be a trait among the plants, as 4 of the 6 have it to some degree…believe it to be genetic as the other plants in the tent aren’t expressing any crinkling of the leaves…
4 and 5 don’t have the crinkle going on at least as of yet, never know what the future holds…i mean originally I thought I was going to get rich out of my closet right?
Now that 1 is filling its shoes in the 1 gallon it’s starting to take off pretty nice, still has the crinkle in it’s leaves, as do 3 of the other seedlings. I’m still guessing it’s a Katsu leaner, also I’m thinking it might have started filling this 1 gallon up a little fast root wise…I’m to buzzed to check back, but could have sworn its only been a few days, but probably weeks…stoner time lags…thank God for the internet and grow logs
Even think I seen a root or 2 at the bottoms (No i’m not suffocating them with more plastic upon plastic, just easier for the group shot, and as you all see MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER with my LG phone)
Needed to up pot the solo cup plants into 1 gallons as I’m going to be tied up with nonsense adulting garbage…#1 really should get up potted it’s roots are starting to pour out of the bottom of the pot, but it’s staying in the 1 gal till it sexes…
1 is starting to get some side branching going, not hating it’s structure so far, pretty solid, stem feels hollow, but at a month old it’s still pretty soft all around, I might have to break out some stuff and junk to keep them happy throughout and amend the soil properly for the next round of them…well at least the ones that make it to round 2…They are starting to diversify pretty well being F2s, I could make predictions on Katsu/Wookie/Hybrid but who wants to embarrass themselves when they’re wrong?
This was the guide I used to get me started in the world of Organics, and I haven’t really ever needed to deviate from it other than adding the additional amendments it mentions as you progress.
Thanks for sharing @Phatlewtz that’s a great link for anyone wanting to get into the “organic” game i’d like to cross reference this into another thread for the soil newbies out there!
@Tinytuttle Well you know your shit…organically speaking that is! If it helps some peeps out that would be golden for sure…just make sure everyone that reads it sends me a dollar, then send it to 10 more people…send me a dollar…rinse and repeat! That’s how business works right?
Well if you get me a buck for each one, no reason I can’t kick you .25cents back for every dollar you send me! Hell, make it 30 cents I’m feeling generous!
What a difference a day made…apparently they were in the solos for a few days to long, but it would seem they like their new shoes…a few more weeks and 1 will show it’s sex, then we’ll figure out what to do with it, nothing like getting ahead of yourself!
3 is looking pretty unique compared to the others right now, very jagged serrations…when I looked at it (yes while high) that song Punk Rock Girl started in my head…2 and 4 seem awful delicate and velvety, not in a bad way, just almost felt like some Basil to the touch. 5 and 6 are spreading out width wise instead of up… (all of these random notes are just to prevent me from having to write a billion things in a notebook, so ignore the drivel! )
I am not doing this girl justice at all…it’s been a bit since I’ve grown her out and with my lack of training of her she won’t yield shizzy…once I get her happy dancing I’ll figure out what to do…
Anyone know how stable she is getting reversed? For some reason I can’t seem to find much info on it, and I honestly assumed there would be tomes of info out there it being so popular (if there are tomes, please point me in the right direction)
I’d never let her die off, but I’m afraid I’m getting burned out just growing and smoking it, anyone have a genie so I can wish for a male that strictly adds No Ceiling/Immunity?
Group Shot, they seem happy enough to be growing explosively, 2 thumbs up to the genetics (thx @bodhi and @nube for the F2s) even the worlds worst grower (@Phatlewtz) is at least getting them to spread their wings
I have to up pot #1 to a 3 gal, it’s drank a couple pints in 4 hours, guess it’s time…(I am calling 1 a lightweight, as I can drink a couple of pints in 4 minutes, thank you to THE Ohio State University for teaching me what my limit is for alcohol poisoning!) It should be showing it’s sex soon, don’t want to up pot the boys to 3gals, but since it’s a learning process, what’s the worst that could happen, I learn something I didn’t read in a book? GTFO! (You don’t learn a lot about growing from Dirk Pitt adventures!)
Stuck 1 in a 3 gallon fabric pot, which I’ve discovered most of my 3s have dry rotted, including this one, but it’ll hold till i stick it in another 5 or 7, we’ll see what the future holds…and I just realized what the future holds…7s are to big for my indoor grow (and I’m to f’n old to lug them around) Guess who regrets not starting all the beans at once?
As we see 2-6 are growing out of control…just a days growth and it’s noticeable, It’s going to get tight in there eventually…this cold weather is keeping my flower area in the 40s so at least 2 months to flower, and all I can say about that is… (#$&)(@#&$)(&#@$)&@*&
In my carelessness and know it all attitude, I noticed that I forgot something in my soil on the Berry Blast/Chem…Lime…so shockingly had a pH issue that I wasn’t paying attention to and ended up with some ugly leaf growth… and how did I Phatlewtz attain the detective mastery of Batman…nay Sherlock bloody Holmes? When I watered them today I noticed the bag hadn’t been opened… S M R T
1 should be sexing pretty soon…it’s got a lump developing…hope it ain’t cancer! The babies are chugging along…5 is noticably drinking much less than it’s siblings… could slit a throat with the serrations on 3…
Sorry for the flood of pics and useless info on this one, Typing > Writing, Phone > Polaroid …jesus I am old if I remember having to buy film for those back in the day…shake shake shake blowshake shake shake blow remember that?
Stem is kind of corded like hemp, pH and lighting issues didn’t hurt it to bad, a few of the original leaf tips have some non nute burn drying causing them to fall off…remnants of the pH issues as the twisted leaves are as well…good thing I know I am terrible at this!
Root tips peaking out of the bottom/side holes of the 1gal, pot is ultra light from last watering (need to keep better watering notes for sure) guess what my day off will be?! You guessed it, working extra hard watering these plants because I’m an idiot that forgets lime!
Stem looks to be cording up a bit, serrations are pretty serious…slight tip damage on older leaves, yay rookie mistakes! This one is my favorite of the 6 Sakura I have, I know you aren’t supposed to have a favorite child…but I have “high” hopes for this one…
Nothing to report on this one, isn’t really drinking water compared to the others, no roots peaking out of the pot yet, pretty boring plant to be honest…Well…“No boring plants, only boring growers” (if you use this phrase for t-shirts and stuff, just send me some and a bunch of hoodies and we just might be square!)
This one likes to drink, i’ve had to give it about another pint of spirits over its kin folk, and its starting to lighten up, roots are already curling around the side/bottoms…fastest root builder for sure.
