KelticBlue's 2017: Soil, Ace Seeds Pure Pakistan Chitral Kush x Kali China Yunnan

[SweetSue]

Yours looks like she's ahead of mine keltic, but they're almost the same age, aren't they? My Zam x Pan is on her 20th day since flip. Don't you love the branching? Such elegance.

Love your internode spacing. You're gonna get huge colas!

I was so fascinated at how the plant responded to the bruise by concentrating trichomes in that area. I'd never noticed it happening before, although I speculate about it all the time.

 

[kelticBlue]

Don't you love the branching?

cross posting journals fun

I do love the branching. I was scared at first, the ability of it was strong. But I trained it like my little-er plants before but bigger and so super sexy.
Best part yet to come?

Thanks..... It is growing its own way.
I think i got it just about right for the tent size

 

[Smeegol]

doing mightily fine mr.K and I see the #frogsquad are behaving themselves they haven't got hold of any pollen have they....haha

top o the morning to ya mr.K.....

 

[kelticBlue]

I see the #frogsquad are behaving themselves

I owe a lot of the taming and training to the frogs. I really do

And to Morglie for telling me when stretch was finishing. Now I am watching the flowers flowering.
I watered, put .75 gal of distilled in the res.

About pollen, I have 2 year old ACE seeds Orient Express pollen in the freezer ( thanks @Hozona was his advice)
I put a tiny bit on a bud top this morning, prolly nuthing left but now or never. I cannot think of a better plant to try it on.

Are you running far red lighting? @dajerm119 is looking to add some to help with light leaks and I was thinking you had added some recently.

Dang Morglie, you are pretty sharp. I barely mentioned it but yes I am. I run the far red puck, the growmau5 one.
I have it on for the :30 min with :15 after lights out. So it comes on :15 min before lights out.

Cool! I was thinking that was you. Sometimes my memory banks work properly. I'll direct Dajerm this way if you don't mind, he's asking about brands and frequencies and I have no clue on details.

 

[kelticBlue]

I use the far red to put the plants to sleep during flower. The Emerson effect. It might hurt yield but should take some days off flower time.
I think my far red puck is in the range of 720-740nm. I forgot the details but deep red is around 680nm. So the puck is going toward the infrared end of the spectrum. 700 nanometers wavelength of light is a sweet spot for secondary photosynthesis.
But I use it to tell the plants it is night time or more precisely that night has started earlier than it has. It would be better for me to get my timer to give less than ten minutes of far red, a work in progress.

Ice mud did some experimentation with the far red. Lemme look.

Thank you. It looks like he's found the issue. I appreciate the info drop non the less.

Have a good day!

Thanks Morglie! grate day, i hope

Blooming Luvely Budder

Hi Jaga This one is doing good. My pIan had the soil dry out this week going to try some top water draw oxy in to the soil, give the soil a recharge. I pulled some of the dying leaves dropping them soil top for a mulch. I have a spray bottle with real growers recharge, I will fill up the sub irrigation this weekend i think. The plant should be exploding. I will try to get pics up tomorow. Buddzz are filling in and thickening.

Sweet and sour citrus, lemon like. A weak smell until you rub or crush some material. Then is stinky.

 

[kelticBlue]

All I can say, I should-a grown this a long time ago. It is a good one. I have lots of yellow leaves in the older growth. They are very uniformly yellow. Not something I am used to.

if memory is correct
It is one month since flip, 24 days since pistol.

Next time i grow one like this I will try to pinch 25-30 % of this lower growth. This time I just let it be to see what I get with my first full Zamaldelica.

A week ago. I pollinated a lower stem bud center of the plant. Just a bit of Orient Express. It loos like it took. I hoped the pollen was still fertile and viable. It was a bot of a chuck so other buds look to have pistol affected. Seed watch begins. They look to have plenty of time to mature.

I timed the Far Red initiator last night and it stays on 5 min. and 10 seconds after lights off. Not bad for a wild guess when it set it up. I was shooting for more like ten min after lights out but i will let it ride. So approx 25 min before lights out the far red comes on for thirty min. Supposed to make the plant 'think' it has a longer night.

Random edited quotes about the use of a far red 730 nm led ; - )

Far RED LED Light Triggers the Phytochrome Pfr to Pr state to change or switch, Pfr is the Waking or Active State and Pr the Sleeping or Resting State. Far RED light causes a switch from Pfr to Pr rapidly. Your plants go to "Sleep" in moments, this rapid state switch will provide for more rapid, accelerated, Flower development.

Use the Flower-Initiator during the entire Flower phaze. Use with a separate timer, set to come at "lights out" and allow it to run for at least a total of 5 minutes. reduce day light hours to 11/13 during the final flower development for a better end of Summer type fully mature finish.

How tall was your Zammy when you flipped? My GT and Zammy are surely ready to be up potted and i am going to take a clone of each one. That will be their topping. Then flip in a couple of weeks. Let me go take a pic of them. Post it here if you don't mind.
