Canada Guy's Medical Fusion Grow

Day 37

The ladies are doing very well. Temps are still around 24-25 during the day and humidity is stuck at like 60. At night temps are down to around 19-20 and humidity is at 100. The three LSD are for sure female, and I'm glad as they were feminized lol. The Diesels are showing no signs either way yet. I spent about 2 hours training again, you can tell they are lower now but by the morning they will be back up again. Some of the fan leaves are now the size of my hand. Overall this new set up is working great, yay!

Looks female to me

That's a big leaf

Grow babies grow!

Those leaves look super healthy!

Thanks for the reply. Just wondering if you have an idea about hemp helping with decreasing depression?

Hemp is unlikely to help with depression. The euphoria of THC in cannabis helps with depression bit the key anti-depressent qualities of cannabis comes from the terpenes found in individual strains and plants. While hemp has some terpenes in common with cannabis (myrcene and beta caryophylene) which have some stoned and anti-tumor effects in common with cannabis, the terpene most associated with anti-anxiety is linalool. Hemp contains linalool. but so does lavender so one could get better linalool effects by sniffing lavender plants or lavender essential oil (there really is a scientific basis for aromatherapy.) Similarly, the main anti-depressant terpene is limonene, which as you might guess is common in citrus. I have never heard hemp fiber described as lemony or citrus-like, so I rather doubt hemp has major anti-depressant qualities. You are better off drinking fresh squeezed lemonade or mimosas.


Disclaimer: I have no medical training and have rarely experienced depression - my knowledge is only from internet research.

Day 38

Not much to report today. Everyone is a little bigger. Trying to find a new car for the family so I haven't had much time in the gardens. So far I've eaten 5 strawberries out of my own garden! .

Day 39

Still growing good. Can barely see the hygrometer any more. They may need water tomorrow. I wonder how much longer till they can go into 5 gallon pots.

I'll bet their roots are banging up against the bottoms of those pots already... Really pretty plants.

Already?? I just up potted to the 3 gallon 1 week ago.

 

[Scientific]

Only a week? OK, sorry, belay that. (And those pots are bigger than I thought.)

 

[Canada Guy]

I know, in these pots they exploded with growth.. Apparently they are 3 gallon but I'm not 100% sure. I know they are for sure at least twice the volume of the 1 gallon I had before.

Day 40

Still growing well. Everyone got some nutrified water, and more LST. Diesel #4 is female, yay! I found a weed growing in my weed. I think it's time to up pot again. Also next time I think I should water sooner, they were very dry.

The ladies

Wtf? A weed in my pot of weed

Diesel #4 - looks female to me

It's been 10 days since the last up pot

 

[Suntana]

Lol Scientific was right, almost enough there to make a sandwich.

 

[Canada Guy]

I'm thinking I may just skip the 5 gallon and go straight for the final 7 gallon if they fill with roots that fast. I can't transplant till the weekend, I was hoping to determine sex on everyone before the next up pot.

 

[tryan2grow1]

WTG CG! Those "girls" are loving your love and care. Gotta love that someday they may love you back with their care for you. Awesome grow so far. Keep it up!

 

[Canada Guy]

Day 41

Still growing good! I need to repot like yesterday and i dont want to waste dirt on males. I wonder if the other diesels will be boys... I don't see any alternating branches, and that's how I tell they are girls before any preflowers.

Curious CG, do you have a target for when you'll flip to flower? I'm about a week behind you and as it's my first time I have no feel for when I'll be ready.

Lol, could be a couple weeks or another month. For me, when the 4x4 half of the tent is full of green canopy I stop LST and switch so they start growing up. I have heard some stretch a lot, so flip at 2/3 of the height available, I have never had that problem. I am also going for a heavier yield, not for a faster harvest.

 

[DobeWan]

I'm in no rush either, would definitely extend my time in veg to get the best end result. I figure it'll end up being before the end of June, but who knows for sure. One of my 2, the 24K, is said to stretch a lot in flower, so I was thinking of flipping when I'm down to 2/3 of my available height to be safe. But I'll just keep LSTing and wait til it feels right.

It's cool to be a week behind you because it gives me a good idea of where things are going. It looks like I'm hitting the same kind of growth spurt you saw at about the same time. Mine have really started to kick it up since I got a handle on my pH issue from last week.

I start in one gallon and then go straight to final 7 gallon (and score the roots to encourage rootball growth.)

Day 42

They sure are filling up the floor space on their half of the tent... will do a little more LST tonight before they get too tall. Flip time may come around day 50 at this rate.
