Show Grows 2023 Twenty20 Mendocino Spring 2023 Grow & Show

Sex
When Double Bubble decided to show sex at,26 days, she did it with quite the flair! There was nothing when I watered the other day and at lights out today, there was nothing obvious. Lights on , there was quite a difference!
The three gallon bags took a gallon of feed between the two. I did several rounds of top watering with periods of waiting in between and got just a little over half through top water . The last feed was put it in the trays and it was sucked up in very short fashion. A little bit leaf tucking on Double Bubble was in order and I moved her into a little bit better light. We'll see what the swap does. Bubble Tricks keeps reaching skyward!
Double Bubble in the Earthbox we have to be check for sex at midnight.
edit........................Yup! Double Bubble in the Earthbox showed sex!........... Close enough to be called the same day . Let's see how she reacts to having those sex hormones going.

Day 38 for Bubble Tricks. Pulled out the 2x2 tent because this is the only plant I’m growing and the 3x3 takes up so much more room. It’s crazy how small the 2x2 looks comparatively. But Since I’m losing a foot of head room I’ve had to switch from basically no training to a somewhat heavy LST. Spreading the light love all around the tent. I’ve also been dealing with a gnat infestation. Sticky traps and mosquito bit tea. I think the clean up and the new tent will help with that as well.

Off with their head! Muwahahaha :devil:
Also raised the time-lapse camera a bit.
Whilst doing these things today, got a nice whiff of mile weed smells. Can't believe it is already producing scent this soon. I think it may be a very strong smelling plant. Thank goodness for the carbon filter.

Day 17

Started LST to encourage the lower branches to stretch out towards the pot edges.

Day 18

Although I saw some minor tip yellowing the other day, I see today that more of the lower (older) leaves are getting worse. I double checked the pH levels in the reservoir, and they are at 6.1, so not a pH issue.
Although the close up appears to show dark green, this is a lighting/photography issue, and the plant appears to have a good colour, so I don't think it is a toxicity issue.
It looks like this plant may be greedy for Nitrogen, so I may have to change the feed to a 50% table.
I don't know how much feed is left in the reservoir, so it is difficult to simply add more A and B. I am due to change the reservoir contents in 2 days to start the plant on week 4, so I may leave it until then.

Day 19

Moved and added some of the LST hooks.

Day 20

Day 21

Removed the reservoir. There was 6 litres left, so the plant had only drank 4 litres through the week. With this information, amended what was left to week 4 at 50%. Fingers crossed, the plant enjoys the stronger feed.

With week 3 being complete, it is now time for the time-lapse video. Here is the direct link for Week 3.

Our Bubble Tricks are about 6 and a half weeks above soil today. Swapped to only Megacrop part A 500ppm with 200ppm calmag. Gave them a light defol. I've noticed the Coots kit soil is about 8" taller than the others, while the Coast of Maine Stonington Blend has the fattest buds so far.

Nice! Is that the one in the back?
Well, she was in the very back, but I moved her up front. I wanted better light for Double Bubble, after throwing her sex out all over the place the other day, I thought she deserved it:crying:
Bubble Tricks up high enough that she can get good enough light.:headbang:
I don't know where she is gonna stop, but I'm having fun watching her do it!:headbang:

Vidamints is knocking it out of the park! Given her bulk in plant matter and bud, she's very thrifty with her nutrients! She's at 67 days currently . What does this strain usually run? She looks like an easy two weeks to me.
She looks like she's gonna make some very nice medication......... in quality and quantity! If her meds are good for me and or any of the other veterans I take care of, I can see her being a mainstay. Especially with as easy as she's being to grow.

She normally on the faster side (75-80) but not to say There aren't some phenos that lie outside of the average
 
Day 43

These genetics are great so far! Bubble Tricks is getting frosty and her pom poms are getting fatter and she has stopped getting taller and Double bubble seems to be working on getting taller and bushy still less frost on her but they seem to be on different stages so i'm guessing Bubble Tricks will finish 1st

The lights and feed are the same, not going over 700ppm of megacrop 1 part and keeping ph around 6 and they are still drinking pretty heavy with no issues.
