Being in the desert, I thought I try an experiment & see if I could grow in my cabinet in garage in the summer time. I planted 5 seeds in one gal fabric pots. 4 were in promix premium with Dr Earth nutes, and one was in ffof. For the promix pots, I planted Lost Elephant, Blue Dream o'matic, Mulled & Twisted, and a sour diesel from demonic genetics. In the ffof, went a twisted & tangled. The Fastbuds Blue dream grew so fast, that i fucked up and topped it at day 14, thinking it was day 21-and not looking at the calendar. this wouldn't have been so bad, except thinking it was day 21 i also topped dressed her w/2T flower girl & some guano. This pretty much stunted her, and she stopped growing. I ended up culling her.
Down to 4 plants, and all were chugging along until the end of May. I'd been using frozen 2l bottles to help keep the cabinet cool. I had 12 bottles in chest freezer. then it got really hot, and mother nature started to win... One morning my lost elephant was dehydrated and severely drooping. After watering, she perked right up, but started to pale. I brewed up a tea hoping to help. Big mistake. the garage was 102*f, and since the tea was brewed in the garage, it too was 102*F. It basically killed all the promix plants overnight. Lost elephant was at day 72, and looking pretty mature. So she was dried, jarred, and still curing. I did not take a pic of her, but she was huge. Topped and pushing 4ft tall, into my light. the SourD went in the trash & i let the M&T ride.
Surprisingly the ffof & Twisted & Tangle was fine. I harvested her at day 82. this was a beautiful plant and gave me 58gr of nice dense bud. i wish it weren't a mystery seed because i'd like to grow it again. I would have liked her to go longer, but the heat was simply getting oppressive. I believe this photo was from a week before the chop.
I let the Mulled & Twisted go to day 86 before the chop before I gave up, didn't want to mess w/changing out the 2L anymore. she looked like shit, and never really frosted up. After drying, I started the trim, and said "yea, i ain't putting that in my lungs". I tossed it, didnt even want to make edibles with it. The dead nasty burnt leaves on her, happened w/in 24hr of the tea. she never could recover. I'm thinking maybe the 102* tea made the promix go acidic? I'll have to grow her again in better conditions. she got tall after topping, but not like the lost elephant. Here is the M/T b4 the chop.
It's not nice to fool mother nature.
