Welp, my first start up grow after a year went well, always learning always being a bit surprised. It's why I hesitate to do anything with regards to UV lights or any other stuff, it's because I see so much variation in growth in identical conditions that I would never be able to be sure if whatever supplement I did to the grow that it was what I did or it would have happened anyway. So there is a certain peace of mind in keeping everything ultra super simple, there's enough variables as it is.
Still trying to work out how to organise my new space which is basically a 3 foot by 5.5 foot space inside of a larger walk in wardrobe! My first grow was two in one pot, BlackBerry Kush and Jedi Kush. I'm considering now to have two plants growing six weeks apart with a harvest every six weeks. However I've already got two new beans underway which are 5 days apart so I'm still thinking about stuff. I'm tempted to try growing a plant that is not topped. There's all sorts of side by side tests I'd like to do for my own knowledge but that's all sometime in the future. My main aim is to keep everything as simply and clean and zen as it is possible to do in my situation.
I was going to plant both in one pot again, so instead of planting the bean that popped first I waited till the next morning by which time something had completely devoured my seedling. I now couldn't plant them together so I planted the late popping bean and set a new bean in motion. Thing is that I got the beans mixed up so I did not know if it was the Purple Gorilla or the Brooklyn Sunrise that got eaten. After some forensic bean analysis I concluded it was the Purple Gorilla that got done but because I was not sure I planted the tiniest of the three beans I had, which is interesting because it turns out to be a very strong fast and vigorous bean, so that's that myth dispelled.
They are different looking plants and they are growing true to form the Brooklyn Sunrise grows similarly to their Blackberry Kush that is stubby and rigid, whereas the Purple Gorilla is more delicate with cleaner branches and more space. I used to really like these Dutch Passion muscle plants but I'm becoming more partial to bendy open less dense plants like the Short Stuff stuff I've seen so far.
Both beans were able to be topped at 14 and 15 days at the fourth node. Recovery was swift and strong.
Colour Code:
Orange and Yellow marbles and labels for the Brooklyn Sunrise bean and Blues and Purples for the er... Purple Gorilla.
Will add pages as the grow continues
