Grow Room Maria's Micro Meds: CBD strains from Dutch Passion, Sweet & Dinafem

[Exotic Flower]

It would be great *!!!! but I ain't the one worried ,,,I was just trying to convey there's more than one way to skin a rabbit

I've been working on this stuff here locally for a good 2 years or so.
It is surprising how hard it is to do it locally.
Also, I have issues with moving around a lot,
and getting BF's okay on things, it's his house.

But don't worry, it's happening, slowly but surely.....

AH. It is the things we do for love.

So true.

A few lovely lady hair pistils appearing at the top two laterals of the Honey Peach CBD Auto.
So the first two to show flowers are both Sweet Seeds' girls.

The Industrial and Sweet Skunk are looking better after their topping now, thank goodness.
The Strawberry Cake is a highly branched one, looking very strong, and showing tertiary growth from the new four main laterals.
The Charlotte's Angel is a slim girl, growth pretty good, nice and open.

I think from next Wednesday, which will be day 28 / week 4, I'll move the photos onto 12/12.

Canopy slowly filling out. Plant heights -- topped and not topped -- are quite even, good!

Strawberry Cake is a real vigorous girl, going great.
Charlotte's Angel and Honey Peach also doing just fine.
And the other plants, while not as strong, are still all healthy and growing well.

Looking for more pre-flower on the other autos,
and hoping for a 20cm-30cm stretch all around,
over the next couple of weeks.

We now have a big chunky 75W 2700K CFL sitting above them, with the COB to the other side.
It's more on the veg DWC side of things, and lower down than the COB on top.
I'm keeping the smaller plants in between, hoping this will assist with developing side laterals.

The 2700K may be the best, but was very glad to find a single 75W bulb around here.
23W and even 27W are very common, 45W or 50W are hard to find.
So grabbed the 75W as soon as I saw it. Choose the warm 2700K over the cool 6500K of course.
Perhaps the color will actually help finish them faster and keep them short, too.
Will have to find out.

It also has the advantage of providing a more natural color on the garden, better to see how all the plants are doing.
Now, 175W over about 3 or 4 sq ft is much better, past that minimum 40W / sq.ft, maybe pushing 50W.

Thinking about when to take a cutting of the Strawberry Cake, and prob the Charlotte's Angel.
The Strawberry is maybe a keeper if she keeps this up, and fills out and matures like she's going now.
Not sure about Charlotte, but better to take a cutting of a poor plant than miss a cutting of a keeper.

Forgot to mention:

Two days ago, gave them a small feed of the Peters 15-5-15 +Ca/Mg, at about 700 ppm.
Originally wanted to go full organic. But... after the topping, they didn't respond so fast.
I gave them a small dose of that each, only about 150 ml each, maybe 2/3 cup.
Was afraid that 800 ppm may be too much, but they've been fine, two days later.
Not a sign of clawing or anything, and they are looking more like what I expected after topping.

Maybe it was a good idea, too, when the autos will soon be going into flower.
This, plus the light, hopefully will put a bit of size on them before the window is passed.

Maria's Marvelous Micro Medical Marijuana Madness!
Day 28

The grow space, ganja and friends:

The individual plants:

Two photos of each plant, top and side.
3 photo-period plants first, each in 1L pots,
4 strains 5 plants of autos next, each in 2L pots.

Dutch Passion - Charlotte's Angel CBD Photo (1L pot)
Nicely spaced out, slim plant, doing well.

Heavyweight - Strawberry Cake Photo (1L pot)
The bushy one, heavy indica with lower branches almost as tall as top two branches.
This would be perfect for a compact ScroG.

Sweet Seeds - Sweet Pure CBD Photo (1L pot)
The single stem un-topped photo girl.
Only one to put out 7 blade leaves up top.

Heavyweight - Jackpot Auto (2L pot)
The two smallest autos from weak seeds in the same pot.
Should be a similar result to a nice strong topped plant, I'm hoping.
No sign of flowers yet, just undifferentiated growth at nodes.

Sweet Seeds - Sweet Skunk Auto (2L pot)
The fastest to flower, and I'm guessing to finish up, too.
Small, delicate plant. Slight fragrance coming on when rubbed at the top nodes.

Dinafem - Industrial Plant CBD Auto (2L pot)
Seems to have just picked up a bit in the last few days.
A couple of tiny pistils showing up top.

Sweet Seeds - Honey Peach CBD Auto (2L pot)
The strongest of the autos, with best branching and overall growth.
Has shown flowers a few days ago, just behind the Skunk in speed.

The canopy all together:

Before you ask -- no, I'm not using that shelf as a ScroG net.
Not scrogging at all. Any LST work will be from the individual pots.
That way I can constantly move plants around for optimum light.
This is not entirely from directly above them.

I'm aiming to green out the entire canopy top, with no open spaces.
It will get to that point, just may take a little while yet.
Anything more crowded than that, though, will just be largely wasted.

From the side:

From left to right (front / middle / back):
1. Sweet Skunk (mid); 2. Jackpot (front); 3. Industrial (back); 4. Sweet Pure (mid); 5. Honey Peach (back); 6. Charlotte's Angel (front); 7. Strawberry Cake (mid).

Love and hugs,
MJS
