Sept 2023, Landrace / Heirloom Challenge

Awesome! Initially scrolling through the pictures it looked like some disaster had befallen them

It’s wild to me that with the kinks and agressive bends they just adapt and keep going. Really neat to watch. Beautiful!

Neat that you are hooking up the grow store with that kind of interesting plant. Cool that they can even do that, our grow shop has tomatoes and peppers in the demo tents, don’t think they are allowed to do a public cannabis grow. Your URL is a little off with the .com rather than .ca I think: https://growatthepros.ca/ Canada has “growing” appeal to me…

Thanks for that Correction @FieldEffect, its Bang-on now!

The bending only happens without Fracture, because the outer shell of the stalk has been Gently Crushed. Then it moves wherever you desire.

The flow through that section, then increases and becomes a swollen knuckle.

The owner of the grow shop has a license to grow 25 plants… his flower tent, oddly, magically, gets harvested this weekend, and he just got 7 sativas in Bloom to fill that hole… great exchange as some goodies came home with me.

He said something about his Close Customers and a Topping clinic… sounds awesome

How does Stress impact the Cannabis plants… This week I Stressed a few plants with some aggressive bending and had quite a response.

2 plants have thrown out Gonads in a 36hour window after stressing

It has been 2 weeks of searching for sex status on the plants, and we were pretty sure of where we stood (lol)

2 days later, 2 of the plants are FULL of GONADS, when they had shown Zero Sex indicators at all.

The Oaxacan and Congo “keepers” have changed their Flags on me, bastards.

That makes for 3 out of 3, Males from the Oaxacans, @george its comforting knowing the Odds are in my favour Next Oaxacan grow.

And the Beautiful Congo that was gently shaped with a single 90 degree bend for the evening, was Chock full of Testicle 24 hours later

And the Oaxacan as she began filling that top Cola behind my back

The other ones in the tent are relaxing.

Autoflower was up-potted and folded to meet the Canopy needs here at the start. She, Purple Lemonade, was going places

[FieldEffect]

That’s a bummer

I’d make some joke about breaking your or their balls but I can’t put something good together

Bhadra and Caribbean ok?

[MissinBissin]

100% they look good. Thanks for asking @FieldEffect
With a Casting tea and B-Vital for dinner last nite, I’m going to address any leaf discolourations tomorrow nite.
Now that its show time, a routine becomes needed.
2nd part of the nute-trio features a 50%
Bloom Microbes mix, Enzymes + Molasses. Then its whatever is needed, paired with a 25% strength, MaxiBloom soak, to complete the Trio.

You know I am always reluctant with heavy bondage techniques

That’s why I was warning you about plants height, never suspected you were going to do that, sorry for the results but now you know , give them love and they will not stress and throw balls on you…

[MissinBissin]

Whats going forward?

Zero Oaxacan
*1 Squirrel Tail
*1 congo
*2 Caribbean Dream
*2 Bhadra
*1 Purple Lemonade

[FieldEffect]

That’s still quite a run there. RIP stressed Oaxaca.

Still buckled up to watch the grow show. Onward and upward (towards the lights)

@MissinBissin

Zero Oaxacan

It’s a rough season for Oaxaca right now. I got 3 males from 4 plants.

[MissinBissin]

I like my odds next time-round @HeadyBearAdventures.
Good Luck with that Lady

[HeadyBearAdventures]

@MissinBissin

like my odds next time-round

Lol, I’m trying to figure out where I can slide in another attempt!

@MissinBissin

Good Luck with that Lady

Thank you kindly!

She’s wild af.

[MissinBissin]

With my Uncles passing, the numbers have changed in the tent after 3 days away.

3 males have developed over the weekend, One I just tossed outside as fast as I could, and I’m sure it was not quick enough… Caribbean Dream has 3 males this time around. i have one FEMALE of each of these strains
CONGO

Squirrel Tail

Bhadra

And a beauty Oaxacan

Casting Tea tonight. Each plant had a little spoil session late last night. Minor defol where needed, and some re-shaping as needed.
The light was lowered once again, now that the canopy is uniform…

Off to trim jail elsewhere now!
Start of week 5 in Flower today

[MNGrower]

Those look amazing

[InTheWoods]

My condolences brotha.
Love how tamed you have them. Beautiful plants all around.

[MonasticDank]

Condolences for your loss @MissinBissin hope you’re doing ok

[George]

Sorry for your loss my friend…

[MissinBissin]

Thanks Gentlemen.
A wonderful Celebration was had
Met a Hundred Firemen plus his old / new buddies. Faces to Names, and lots of stories.
He had a great circle of friends

[defharo]

Dear friend, Panama Red is born… let’s play!

[MissinBissin]

So glad to see that Lassie above ground @defharo

I’m harvesting your Plants Sisters, right this Minute… and the Strain itself is much stronger, more powerful this year than last.

Well, the plants were pulled last week and I’m making Cobbs and Freezing Batches… Wow did it strike home earlier.

Best Wishes my Friend

Update on the Heirloom grow.

Solid progress had been had since the last meal. Lateral branch growth has exploded as these Plants understand whats going-on. In 2 days we’ll dial the power up a bit and adjust the light height.

No LST is planned as I want to see how these branches / plants respond.
Next worm castings tea will have some Bloom Fertilizer in it as well. Last meal Gypsum / Epsom Salt were added

CONGO is already standing out in the crowd with her Red Branches and even canopy

Oaxacan

Squirrel Tail (Thailand)

Bhadra B & C

Purple Lemonade Autoflower
