Laughing Buddha Scrog

[Glookies1]

True. I miss being able to roll one and enjoy it or share it. Now if I will one 2-3 hits and I'm blasted. Kind of takes away what I enjoyed about smoking weed in the beginning. I keep looking for someone that has a 5-7% thc strain available. I can't find one unless it's a heavy CBD strain and I don't want that.

This laughing Buddha at around 17%, is still one hit will give you a buzz weed. It e we I’ll still get you plenty high plenty fast.

But, its considerably Less “couch lock” than most strains

Theses are really hauling ass this grow. They’ve got baby top buds forming already. Way earlier than usual.

I haven’t read much about genetic inheritance of THCV. I would be surprised if all of the offspring keep the 1:1 ratio. But I would think some of the plants will have high thcv out of 10 seeds. I might have try those sometime.

Blueberry is known to be a lower thc variety. Ace has a few sativas that are low thc like Ethiopian.
I have a few crosses that you might like but they are very long flowering and prefer outdoors. Colombian/Acapulco comes to mind.
@Glookies1 have you tried cbd or cbg for the Parkinson’s symptoms?

Photo dump. They’re moving right along...This is day 13 since flip to flower.

Canopy is leveling out nicely, about 14 inches above the screen.

To me it seems they’re about a week ahead of schedule

Nice canopy!

 

[Glookies1]

Nice canopy!

Thanks. It’s evened out pretty well. I did raise the lights about 4 inches today. Leaves seemed a tad droopy, and everything else is good (temp, humidity, co2). I’d let her grow into the lights a bit,
She was within a foot, I took it up to 16 inches.

I also noticed she’s starting to drink more. Another 2 weeks and the buds should be set. So far, an easy water and wait grow.

Nice canopy!

Kinda hard to believe that 13 days ago nothing was more than an inch above the screen and the screen was only 70% full.

Nor do I think she’s done stretching.

 

[Morda Grown]

Looking really nice!

 

[Glookies1]

Looking really nice!

Thanks. It’s early, I’ve got plenty of time to screw it up. Lol

 

[Morda Grown]

You have a lot less time to wait than I do. LOL I still have min 3 months to grow.

 

[Glookies1]

You have a lot less time to wait than I do. LOL I still have min 3 months to grow.

I’ve still got all of 8 weeks. Lol

in about 5 weeks, I’ll start abusing them on purpose. Add UVb light, drop humidity, stress them some.

Older leaves are showing what I believe is mag deficiency. It’s only older leaves, and only a few, but I gave them a wee bit of cal mag with their watering today.

A couple more pics from today:

 

[Glookies1]

They were really thirsty. Took 2 1/2 gallons each with no run off in 10 gallon smart pots.

They have reached 21 inches above the screen, I’m hoping they’re about done stretching, but as I’ve said, she gets lanky.

 

[Glookies1]

Back to this: I’m not overly concerned. The plants look fine, other than these lower leaves (which I’ll trim out soon any how)

I’m more just curious as to why they’re doing it.

All the new growth is 7 and 9 finger leaves. Much thinner too. These are “veg leaves” lol

Is it possible that the plant is done with the lower leaves and sucking out the mobile nutrients it wants for flowering before it drops them?

 

[Glookies1]

Plucked out a bunch of the big old fan leaves, not quite a “defoliation” but a good thinning. It’ll need another thinning in a week or so.

Also cut out a few low bud sites and sucker shoots.

Seems counter intuitive, but the more of the little stuff you trim out, the better the final results will be.

Stretch seems to be slowing, but I don’t think it’s done.

I’ll post picks Sunday nite. You’ll be really able to see the bud fest popping out by then. Lol

Plenty of bud sites. As long as they fatten up this will be a good crop.

 

[Glookies1]

Photo day. Stretch is holding at 22 inches above the screen. Lots and lots of budsites. The bud sites are actually pretty close for this strain. I hope they stay that way.

But, as I’ve said, this heavily sativa pheno seems to stretch through most of flowering and we’re just to day 21 now.

 

[Glookies1]

I am starting to have some concern that these are going to need more support as the buds swell. Perhaps a second layer of net.

I could work in stakes too. We’ll see

 

[Morda Grown]

I think I would go the take route myself...
