Hey guys. As it says I'm a first time grower. I tried last year outdoor but had limited success. I recently took a college level bio course so I'm updated with all the know-how and technical talk, so don't hold back on anything. If any questions arise in terms of in-depth biological processes, I will consult professional peers. lol I'm almost too baked to take this seriously.
But anyway, I was digging through some baggage when I found a PK seed among some shake. It was a very well grown plant, with strong genetics (also, I think it may have been a unnaturally selected hermie considering I only found a single seed among a half pound of buds and 33g's of shake) I understand this is not a genotype guarantee of any sort, but through breeding I can deduct the chances of getting F2 phenotypes down the road (assuming it's a female).
So far, it's been great from what I can tell. The plant has carried good genes in terms of what I'm looking for. I have a small grow space, so I need a fatter plant. It's been forgiving with stress. 1-3 day full recoveries. It's been producing as fast as an Indica plant does, but I'm not sure if I can improve factors other than CO2 to facilitate stretch (I switched to 12/12 3 days ago).
Here are some pics of the plant throughout its life cycle. The lights I am using are 2 23w 2700k CFL lights at about 3-8" distance but I keep it around 4" most of the time. Also, I have a 70w 6500k CFL that I use to control stretch and to add to the photosynthetic spectrum range. The fertilizer I'm using is light, to avoid nute burn and root rot (I don't have ANY drainage lol, so it's tricky). It's FloraNova Grow (7-4-10) at half the recommended dose. So far, so good. No burn, no bad pH (no testing, but no symptoms), no stunted growth. I have a single fan blowing on it for good measure considering where I live the average humidity is 70-80%. It's on its 6th week (7th week from seed sprout starts tomorrow), and it's been in flower for 3 days. I trimmed 3 days before the switch, and a week before that to get a feel for trimming and inducing new growth. Also, on the start of the 4th week, I topped it at about 9". It's now about 15" and growing at a rate of an inch per day and seems to like where it is at (but I have only theory to work on!).
So, here are the trimmed flowering branches of my first attempt from day 1-now (7 weeks from sprout, to the day):
