Looks great.
It’s been two weeks since I popped the last autoflower, so this week I popped a Ghost Toof x GLo.
The BOG SourBluTooth are doing well. I expect them to really take off in the next couple of weeks.
The clones have reached the bottom trellis, so they have been flipped to 12/12.
After three weeks of daily spraing, I’m getting male flowers starting to develop.
Spraying has stopped, and I moved the mother plant into the QT tent to flower with the reversed plant.
Flower room at day 16F. This is on “easy mode”, small plants, no supplemental lighting, no CO2, no feedings. It’s just water only with the Blumats. You can really notice the difference in stretch between the Chem91xOSD (left bed) and Dominion Diesel (the rest of them).
It has been about six weeks since I trimmed these mother plants back to just a few growth tips. They could use a good trim and maybe even a root pruning to shorten them up.
The BOG SourBluTooth are at about six weeks since I popped them. They have gotten about six nodes now. I’m going to sneak them into the flower room for the next three nights, then move them back into the veg room. Within a week of being put back into the veg room, they should show sex. The males will be tossed this round (I’m making Solo’s Stash S1 seeds right now).
This week I dropped a Grapey Walter x GLo for the perpetual auto SOG. I ran out of one-gallon pots and coco, so I need to run by the grow store today after work.
The flower room on day 24F things are still on auto-pilot. All I have to do is fill up the water reservoir every couple of days.
The BOG SourBluTooth are out growing their solo cups pretty quick. I took a close look and nothing is showing sex yet. I will likely top and clone them some time this weekend.
My mother plants are still in desperate need of a trim and root pruning. I may do that this weekend and take some more clones as well.
The Solo’s Stash in the QT tent is doing well. The other day I noticed my RH was around 90%. I took a look at the logs and noticed it has been like that for a while now. I adjusted my fan to come on when the RH is above 60% now.
After a few days with the lower humidity the male flowers began opening. They are dropping small amounts of pollen. Not that it takes a whole lot of pollen to make seeds.
Hey Reiko. Things looking good!
Did you make the CS or did u buy it premade? Any ideas what PPM is the CS?
Thanks for sharing and good luck with the reversed pollen!
I made it myself. I have no idea the PPM. I just run my generator for a few hours and use it.
Man @ReikoX doing good brother!
I spent the afternoon catching up on some tasks in the veg room. Mainly taking clones and root pruning. Last round of clones, I ran out of root plugs and just used these paper cups with coco. It worked great, so I’m doing it again. Each plant gets it’s own pair of shears That are sterilized with Vircon S between uses.
The bonsai mothers got a trim and a root pruning. After taking clones and trimming them up, I carefully pulled the fabric pots down and trimmed the roots in half. I placed them back into the pots and filled the top with fresh coco.
I topped each of the SourBluTooth at the 6th node and will try and clone them. Then I trimmed off the bottom two nodes, leaving me with four nodes each.
Finally I dropped a Delicious Candy x GLo auto in water this week.
Flower room day 24F. Not looking too bad, but I took a closer look at the Dominion Diesel buds and they all seem to have brown pistils. The Chem91 x OSD doesn’t seem to be affected. I hope that it’s not some lingering pollen from the last round of testers in there. It’s not very likely, I removed the intersex plant early in flower, and took the whole summer off. I didn’t, however, make any attempt to clean any pollen.
The 72 hours of 12/12 didn’t work this time. It’s been two weeks since I flipped them and still no signs of sex. I think it’s due to them being under 20 hours of light instead of 18.
The Solo’s Stash in the QT tent is dropping pollen. it’s clearly viable. I have plenty of S1 seeds forming in the QT tent. I collected a little bit and set it aside for later.
I had a few that were reluctant to show. I don’t recall running at anything over 18/6 I am wondering if they would also be slower to flower altogether. Also how many days old.
@Herbie, I germinated the seeds roughly seven weeks ago. They will eventually show, it’s just getting crowded in there and I would like to cull a few males.
I added a Grass Fire OG clone to the QT tent. I will probably rinse off the Solo’s Stash plant and move it back to the veg room to finish making seeds.
Great Pictures @ReikoX!
I once worked as a hot air balloon pilot & crew. They are a strange and wonderful way to see the countryside, low and slow!
The owner brought us to Albuquerque one year for the Balloon Races. Great group of folks, fun to party with and hear the shared adventures. Is the Balloon Museum still there?
-Grouchy
Yes, the Balloon museum is right next to the field. Fun fact, there are ceramic tiles of balloons on one of the walls at rhe Museum. My mother painted those tiles.
The plants in the flower room are still lush and green on day 44F. I still have done nothing to these plants. No top dressing, no weekly feedings, no supplemental lighting, no CO2, no trimming… Nothing! This is the 10th cycle in these no-till beds, and honestly one of the healthiest.
So far only one of the BOG SourBluTooth have shown sex (female). They are really outgrowing the solo cups. I may have to take another round of cuttings and just keep these around as bonsai mother plants.
Speaking of cuttings, the little cups filled with coco work pretty well and are super cheap. It’s my new favorite cloning method. The last time I checked, several of the Dominion Diesel have already rooted. Those are usually the fastest to root out of all my mother plants.
Speaking of mother plants, they have all recovered from their trim and root pruning by now. I was planning to let the Solo’s Stash go now that I made S1’s, but somehow there is still a plant hanging around (square pot).
Speaking of the S1’s, I’ve been slowly collecting small amounts of pollen. I probably got a couple of ml in the freezer, plenty to make another round of pollination. The reversed plant isn’t giving off a whole lot more pollen now, but it was first sprayed 58 days ago.
@ReikoX
Do you have another journal somewhere? Would love to see what ya got going on nowadays with well, not new setup anymore I guess lol
This is my most recent journal right here. I just posted an update this morning.
