Sorry about my journal guys...I had good intentions to get pics up, but I have been hit by real life stuff and am getting too bogged down to get posting too many pics(damn dialup takes forever to get anything done)
Anyways here is where we are:
The first batch is doing okay...Black Stone is packing some great colour, and crystal and she is getting really nice now, despite heavy nute deficiencies(gawd they came on strong and fast). Not expecting a big yield, hoping for 1.5 with the errors. A much stronger fruity smell than the stone dragons...smells awesome and stinks bigtime!! A few colored hairs are present on the plant.
Amber also got hit by some deficiencies, but not nearly as bad as Blackstone...I mostly have nutes caught up now so progression has stopped...damn she has some thich bud on her! Lookin at another mini weightlifter plant! Very nice deep purple coming from her and solid crystal production.
DP's Autowhitewidow - Oh so, so tiny..smallest plant I have grown in over 20 years(since I was doing stacked SOG clones in rockwool cubes). She is about 7" tall and a solid bud...awesome crystal and great smell too!! But super small...will be under an ounce on this one...too bad she took the sour nutes so harshly!! Meh its all good...bud looks amazing though...not long to go on this plant!!
DP's Autoeuphoria - despite continuing problems, this plant is easily the biggest of the lot, covering about 1/4 of the whole cabinet. Fairly heavy drooping leaves and slow bud production...total screw up here.
Hahaha all I can do is laugh! Might end up with a bunch of tincture bud on this one...not sure yet.
Batch 2
Portal Stone99 - Flower progressing well on this one...another small plant, but she is doing great...keeping up with feed okay so far. The sour nutes had a huge impact on batch 1, but as I caught it early batch 2 didn't take it a bad. I dd end up running bloom nutrients for the whole cycle, so batch 2 plants should be a bit larger than they are. Furthest in flower on the new batch.
Portal Ruby - Hmm interesting...the smallest portal plant from last year is the biggest plant from batch 2 this run. Looking great...a slight bit behind the Stone99 in flower.
DP Auto Night Queen - Around the same size as Ruby around 16" tall and looking good. Looks like this will be pretty solid bud....slightly behind Ruby in flower
Bomb Seeds Cherry Bomb - This plant struggled from day 1. She was a runt from the beginning and guess what? She is still the runt of the pack. Been picking up some growing pace this week, but she is tiny...still not too far in preflower, so hoping for a bit more size!
Training - I have LSt the cherry bomb to expose some of the secondary branches and she is thanking me for it. I have also lightly tied down branches on most plants to maximize lower branch bud growth.
