LBH Selection -- Round 1 Day 39
Didn't really look, let alone take photos, of the older girls yesterday during transplant of the little ones (below).
So, how are they doing?
That's the two strain #3 plants, looking good.
A bit of yellowing and some kind of deficiency (??) down low on the taller plant.
I gave all the plants, old and new, a good top dress with:
Chicken fertilizer 3-5-5 + Ca, a similar NPK of organic pellet fert, kelp powder, diatomaceous earth, and mycorrhizae.
The taller plant on the right:
Nice structure to her, shaping up well.
Same plant, from her crown:
I thought she had almost finished her stretch, but obviously not, she has a bit more to go, at least.
She's about 45cm+ = 18"+ tall, which means she's put on about 10cm = 4" in the last week.
Maybe she'll hit 60cm = 24" if we're lucky!
She's going to be mostly one long bud, as not much branching, but the top cola should be good!
The smaller girl, on the left, is a different basic phenotype from the look of things:
Shorter, tighter and more dense floral formations.
Almost looks like the pistils are also either very short, or have quickly wilted in the rain.
From above:
Looking at this, maybe it's just very tight with super short pistils?
Haven't seen this kind of apical crown shape before.
Whatever the case, she's obviously not got much more height left to put out of her.
And, of course, how could we forget, the tiny little strain #2 girl.
She's actually shot up in the last week, now maybe 18cm = 7" tall!
Might get a gram, maybe two, a fat j or two out of her.
Just hope she puts out enough trichomes and terpenes to suggest which strain she was!!
LBH Selection -- Round 2 Day 11
These are the little ones just planted out yesterday.
How did they do after a fairly cool night out and a bit of rain...??
Let's start with the two small and rather struggling strain #2 plants:
That coco coir in the local dirt is a bit obvious!
But, the main thing is, they are still alive.
The first critical 24 hours have safely passed, which is a big relief.
Not far away from her are the two medium sized, thin leaf pheno strain #3 seedlings:
More coco coir poking out from the transplant, but otherwise looking just fine.
And over near the older Round 1 strain #3 ladies-in-bloom, the two larger Round 2 strain #1 seedlings:
Also looking just fine after their first 24 hours outside, considering it was a bit cool (down to maybe 18C).
The cloudy weather helps, keeps the high temps and sun-burn away.
One of these strain #1 girls was leaning a bit before plant out, but they look fine, not too close together, which gives them room, less crowding.
As mentioned above, all the plants, Round 1 and 2, got a good top dressing.
Mainly higher P and K, though still some N in there, ratios about 3-5-5.
Includes high Ca Chicken fertilizer, which all herbs need.
It is rated at pH 8, but don't worry, the actual rainfall around here is quite acidic,
around pH 5.0 to 5.5, so this should help balance it out.
Plus diatomaceous earth, may help in case of slugs / snails, though haven't seen any.
Also kelp meal and mycorrhizae for general health.
Looked like a lot of top dressing, but will take a while for the rain to soak it, break it down, and make available.
Next plan is to visit again in 4 weeks, check for sex / flowering on Round 2 plants.
And gauge how far to harvest for Round 1 (though they obviously won't be ready by then).
That's what I say, but I'll probably end up visiting them every week, because I can't stay away.
All the best, amigos and amigas, stay stay, grow on, be happy.
Love and hugs,
