Day 53
The plants look good and rather healthy, both flowering now. Topped one is really bushy and big but i still would love to have it bit bigger lol
the stunted one is doing good as well, she is even higher than the topped one. i keep checking for balls but all female so far, she has weird looking mutated stem structures which i will show in photos. apart of that healthy and flowering properly
i wish i did topping and lst earlier on on the topped one so i could manipulate into more wide open and even canopy but i’m still happy.
we had few hot days over here recently and temps in the tent were around 27C for some time but managed to bring it down to ~22/24C which is still quite high i think. i’ll change the light schedule so hottest hours in the day will be night time for plants. without lights it’s 20C.
i’ll start adding epsom salts now as well i still have them from last grow and it shouldn’t harm to add in small quantity lol
okay photos now
topped one:

and now the stunted one

look at the main stem

photo might not show it but two stems here are equal thickness and one is slightly smaller

and now self-topping side branch in this plant

so this looks like it splits in three actually lol. it higher here, if splits again and both stems have bud sites on it, it’s not fan leaves stem

Have anyone heard of CalMagPro by Density? got it from my friend, hard to find any infos online except it contains amino acids and some plant sweeteners which i’m not sure what it is. just wondering if it’s worth adding to the plants? thanks

Day 64 small update
The smell is very noticeable, if not carbon filter then entire neighbor hood would know i got lil project going on lol. much stronger smell than prev grow. topped one develops dense buds and the other one still shoots pistils but no sign of actual bud yet. need some more time.

I haven’t been too active recently, finally got keys to new house and doing moving things now. here’s some photos, i’ll do bigger update on weekend

I had a little accident while rebuilding the tent lol the fan fell down on the topped plant and almost entirely ripped off side branch, and ripped the main stem right where it splits into two main branches. obviously some green wiring and tape helped. don’t ask why i didn’t take out the plants before building exhaust… but yeah, she’s alright now and very close to harvest!

I just cut smaller plant yesterday night. Whole plant dry, bit too hot here now though. 21C at 50% might be not the best but well. Plant was bit stunted, had not the best start and falling fan accident lol day 110 cut down, trichomes 80 milky/15clear/5amber. i’ll post on weight once dried

 

[narnia420]

Soooo… both plants almost dried and into curing. It took waay longer that supposed to. 120 days for taller plant, 110 for smaller. I have stressed both plants tbh, transporting them to new house, fan accident(lol) and recent heatwave we had here didn’t do good to my plants. Also i think the seed bank has send some older seeds, it was just nothing like description from Barneys. So regardless mistakes on my end, i honestly expected better. I’ve got my lesson to buy straight from breeder and i got myself Double Grape from Mephisto yesterday on drop, as i heard you can’t go wrong with Mephisto seeds
So results:
Topped plant(shorter) - 46g dry buds
Taller plant - I’ll update in 2 days

Topped plant was dried in 5 days whole plant, unfortunately it was during the heatwave and 3 out of 5 days were at 26C+. Total loss of smell and flavour. It still gets me high though. Jarred at 62% without any packs, won’t touch it for a month to see if smell or flavour anyhow improved.

Taller plant, despite having childhood trauma and being stunted for almost a month, has spread its wings lol buds are actually quite hard, not much of sugar leaves, lots of brown hairs, nice smell and nice looks. But 120 days for autoflower though. Weather is colder now and more humid, so it’s day 8 of drying and small sample reads at 73% RH, i guess one more or two days and then trim and jar. Can’t wait to taste it, but too wet to smoke now. I’m keeping 6 litres of frozen water and blowing fan at it, so temps are ~17/18C and 58-65%RH without direct blow at buds of course. I’ll update the weight.

right before cut

Congrats again mate!! I can understand why 120 days is to long. But you do have plenty of bud to show for it.
Give it a good cure and let us know what you think when you do sneak a peek in that jar
