Day 58 on the grainte runtz. This is gonna be a fairly large post.
Hoping theres not much more than 20-40 days left on this auto, but holy hell is she liking being closer to the light. Ive been so afraid of causing light stress that Ive been trying to stay on the low end of the intensity at 670ppfd max. Dead center on the plant at the highest part is 655, but I havent really been taking dli into account.
Thinking about putting the ratchet hangers back in and leaving them topped out. I know the watermelon will keep growing but for the sake of the auto I might just raise the ppfd to 800. That would give her about 40dli. Which is still on the low end of the dli for an auto so I think I will be safe. Will be doing this right after the post to see how she takes it over my 4 days off. Hoping she likes it.
Gave her a gallon of plain water today as well, she has transpired her pot completely over the last day and a half. Thinking watering the photos yesterday put everything in the right range for optimum vpd. Humidity was at 51% when I checked in this morning and temps were hanging around 71-72. She had been putting on some bud weight daily for sure though. Pics will be at the end of the post as there will be a lot.
Photos are all doing phenomenally well. The watermelon has slowed down the stretch substantially, where as the 2 peyotes are still creeping up. The tall one is just about neck amd neck with 70% of the watermelons canopy so and the shorter is at the bottom of the watermelon canopy, well the main cola that reformed after the horrible topping job I did. The rest of the plant is definitely still way below everything else.
Thinking about getting a 10" step stool to bring her up a bit and get light to all the tops. Some of the lowest branches are becoming pale and even yellowing a bit. Thinking the plant isnt getting enough light so its pulling nutrients and sugars from the lower branches and sending it to the main top that reformed, because it is just on beast mode. So much taller than the rest of the plant.
Granite Runtz Auto
Didnt do any real lollipopping or shwazzing to this plant as I wanted to see what it was like letting one grow pretty much natural except for the top and some defoliation to open up access to the pot to water. Will not be doing this again, lots of larf underneath all of this which is fine for this run. Will add some total yield but some of it is pretty yellow and its probably not gonna have much potency.
Watermelon Zkittles
These are various tops. They are all spitting out pistils and I can even see small calyx formations in between sugar leaves. So she will definitely start putting on buds soon.
Broke a branch on her the other day, chose not to upload the pic as I just found out I can only have 15 attachments per post.
the last photo is the top on the tallest branch. Seems like this one is getting all the go juice from the stretch period.
Peyote Critical 1+2 (taller first)
This girl was my fave of the 2 in the beginning and as veg went on the shorter was turning into my favorite. Now its this one again. I can already tell these 2 main tops are going to be 2 gigantic colas. Fingers crossed the potency comes with it.
It was more about total yield with this whole grow rather than potency. Yes, of course I want to get high, but right now I don't mind having to smoke a bunch to get to the level I need, as long as I have enough to last me through my next grow, but this girl, if she produces as much as I think, and is as strong as she possibly could be I will be elated.
This is the shorter girl. Shes chugging a long but developmentally a little further behind than her taller sister, but thats expected, shes too far away from the light. But putting her 6" closer seem to help a lot just in one day.
Not much to say about her. The main top is looking phenomenal. Super thick sturdy stalks and stems on both of these 2 girls. Pretty much mirror images of eachother as far as structure. Both have thrown mutated leaves, where one of the longest fingers of a leaf will be a fraction of the size its suppose to be. Its an oddity and I feel like its definitely something anyone will see growing this strain, but with that said the watermelon zkittles threw a leaf that was exactly the same, but only one. There are dozens on between the 2 peyotes.
couldnt add a photo of the whole tent. Maxed attachments lol. Thanks for stopping by.
