Indoor Growin a JEM

[Torched]

Popped 7 Purple Jems right before the new year.

Two didn't make it and was left with 5. Kept them under T5s 24/0 until a day ago. The day before that about day 22 the one male dropped pollen, hopefully I'll get some extra seeds They were all tiered 4 inch prop pots on to 6 in pots. I am thinking of tiering those onto small bins or 3 gal pots.

Moved them under a 400w hps 18/6 and off we go. With the help of a hat strategically covering my exhaust, I'm now retaining some heat in my room and hopefully will not have to deal with cold roots. I am also vegging some photos so a future of 12/12 is possible.

The male has been isolated for pollen collection. Feeding biobizz grow till week 6 then adding in bloom.

Just rounding week four.

Tiered them up into bins. They are flowering nicely already but seem so small. I hope I didn't runt them with the 4" pots till last week. I just took pruning shears and clipped off the bottom of the 6" pots. It looked like the roots were just barely making it down to the bottom.

I hit them with a little Epsom salt.

Just wrapping up week 5 and I'm still waiting to see some explosive growth in week 4-6. They do not seem to be getting much taller. I may have runted them leaving them in the small 4" Propagation pots till week 3.

My Male dropped his first load today. It's amazing how it looks like almost nothing on the plate and then you scrape it up and there is a lot.

Maybe I'm getting to week 6, it's too early for math. Took my male out as he was causing allergies and I had collected about 3/4 of an ependorf tube full of pollen. Gave them 1/8th teaspoon of Mother of all bloom (MOAB) and started the biobiz bloom nutes. There was one that showed sex earlier with strong vigiorus growth and she is the most purple this run. Although a couple others may be catching up.. She is the first one below. I decided to pollinate the lower branches of all of them, but a few more on my vigorous female.

Oh quick mention, This probably has more to do with me needing a larger oscillating fan but is did find one small leaf on one of them with PM. I just took out the start of PM on some veging photo's in the same room, thank you SNS, so between that and needing more air. My RH seems to be in the 50-60% range.

Thanks Boomer. It's my first time trying undrained tubs and it's a constant struggle not to keep watering them.

It's been a bit since I've updated:

Just rounding 60 days and they could use another week or two. My PM issue got worse, 3 of the 4 plants were all affected to varying degrees, I marked that one as PM resistant. I removed affected leaves and as a last ditch effort as I was leaving town, sprayed the plants heavily with water & baking soda. That is the white residue you might see on some leaves. So far it has not resurfaced.

They are filling in nicely, I would have preferred them a little taller but I know better for next time to start in deep pots.



I was fiddling around with my LST on the purple one that was very early sexing and a lower branch snapped off I let dry a day then started picking. On a tiny 2in branch I got 12 mature looking seeds and 3 immature. USB for size reference.

lookin good what week did you pollenate? i just pollinated some of my girls, really hoping my pollen was still good and that i did it at the right time

I pollinated around day 30 as I read seeds need 30-40 days to fully develop. I have not pollinated successfully before so I'm glad to see it took. I just turned off my fans and used a paint brush with some fresh pollen.
