Well, I had to shake things up a little bit more today. First off, here is the status of each plant.
WOS Pakistan Ryder: Full blown flower mode. Swelling up and progressing as expected. No vertical growth at all.
Kannabia Mikromachine: Slowing down on the vertical growth. Some slight swelling of the calyxes. Looks like early stages of flowering, so I am leaving her with a close eye on her.
Kannabia Hobbit: Still growing vertical, only preflowers, no swelling. I think I got a photo here, even though she was labeled auto.
So I did some research and found a lot of issues with Kannabia genetics in general when it comes to autos. I found a auto grow tip sheet on their own site that recommended a 12 hour cycle. What kind of auto growing tip requires a 12 hour flower cycle? It seems like they know they have major issues but don't want to address them. They play it off like it was intentionally bred that way. Long story short, my Hobbit is now segregated back to the 2x2 tent with the blackstar LED on a 12/12 cycle now. The others are staying in the 4x4 with the T5's, but I have a feeling the other Kannabia may have to join the Hobbit soon.
Up to now, all of them have been on a strict 20/4 schedule. My question is, what would happen if I put the Mikromachine and Pakistan on a 18/6 from here on out?
My thinking is that the 18/6 may help out the Mikromachine since she seems to want to swell up.
On a side note I have started more seeds (2 Pakistan Ryder Fems, 3 Purple Ryder Reg, 1 La Diva Fem, 1 Afghan Kush Auto) to help fill up that 4x4 tent.
