LL'sBestGo's: Variety Pro-Mix HP LED Grow

[LLsBestGo]

Week 3 - Flowering​

lights off

​

Week 4 - Flowering
lights off​

Turned the light up to 100%
did some more bending around the plants to even out the canopy after the last update
&
fed & watered all except the Frost Boss

Couple bud pics as well.. not the largest of buds, but they're looking frosty​

not the largest of buds, but they're looking frosty

Quality over quantity, as the saying goes.
Looks great LL!

Week 5 - Flowering​

Bud pics​

Lemon Sour Diesel	OG #7
Frost Boss	Blueberry

no effects added, photos during lights off
Decent photo of the Frost Boss Imo, kind of glows in the photo & I didn't add fx.
Bent the Frost Boss again, but weight of the top bud made the bend more significant (a bit more then I was going for)
& watered all of them with tap water last watering.
They've been drinking up the water faster now
Slight tip burn, & some twisting leaves
Perhaps some excess Nitrogen?
I'll keep watching for other deficiencies in the meantime, but for now they look good on nutrients
a watering or 2 more & I'll feed again probably​

 

[LLsBestGo]

A couple new things
Watered the plants with enough tap water to get about 20% runoff this time except for the Frost Boss which wasn't quite ready to be watered,
about 4-6 liters of water per plant just to get some runoff​

Got some larger better fitting drain pans for the fabric pots, much easier to water for runoff now. Yay Dollar store!

also noticed this one spot on the Frost Boss. I'm thinking some calmag+ next watering? Unless it's a Phosphorus issue?

Measured the Runoff Ph & it's between 6.0-6.5
Should be good hopefully with everything that's going on in the soil.
i.e. More nutrient availability from microbes & semi-super soil with nutrients added, along with being top fed.
Also sugars are in the main fertilizer I'm using to top feed which should feed the beneficial microbes in the soil.

Might top the soil with some more dolomite lime eventually to keep the Ph stable.​

Frost Boss Pollen running a bit behind
Still can't use the pollen yet..
Expecting it to be ready soon probably within a week or 2 at most.
It's been in a window seal & has had it's light cycle interrupted due to more circumstances (sigh) which delayed flowering so it has taken longer then planned unfortunately.​

Does anyone know if I'll have enough time to pollinate this crop for some seed? ( after I collect pollen )
They've been on a flowering light schedule for almost 6 weeks, however I'm not sure they are 6 weeks into flowering..
As this grow isn't turning out much as planned I improvised selecting out a male hoping for some seed from them to make it more worthwhile
However idk if I'll have enough time to pollinate them so the seeds can finish @ this point..
If they aren't worth pollinating now I can possibly store the pollen for later, but that'll risk it becoming inert..​

 

[LLsBestGo]

Looked it up & read it takes 4-6 weeks for seeds to mature
Which means I won't be pollinating them since they're already far into flowering.
I'll probably just store the pollen for the next grow so it isn't wasted, hopefully it'll last.

 

[LLsBestGo]

Skipped last update
changed my mind about pollinating them
I did a partial early harvest, & I'm pollinating the rest for seed
Going to let it grow until the seeds are mature regardless of the trichomes
I'd rather not deal with re-vegging clones currently, so this way I can possibly keep the genetics
I think they'll be able to grow long enough, but this will extend the flowering time
About 6 weeks from now probably & they'll be ready if they pull through
Chopping the rest of the Frost Boss today or tomorrow
Here they are after what I chopped
Week 6 - Flowering​

The branches we're falling over in places before, after chopping some they stood up more.
I'll be taking this into consideration next grow & since my lights aren't extremely powerful with full coverage of the tent I'm thinking mainlining 2 plants so each has 6 main branches will work out better
Not much for a harvest this time, maybe more than my last though
I'll post a couple bud pics after a they dry up​

 

[LLsBestGo]

Buds almost dry​

Lemon Sour Diesel​	OG #7​
Frost Boss​	Blueberry​

Quality is looking pretty good, perhaps even better than my last grow.
I'll configure everything better for my next grow
&
They should turn out even more amazing next time..
hopefully with less of the hassle
-
Now for seeds
Full tent​

Open & Direct pollination

Hopefully some seeds will grow,
&
I'll store some pollen for later anyways​

 

[LLsBestGo]

Total Yield = 1.5 ounces
Low yield this time, lower than my last yield of 3.25 ounces
Quality is alright, fragrant, & smokes fine.
Perhaps a increase in potency
Next time I'll try giving the plants each more room + branch support towards the finish if need be & let whichever strain it is grow around the intended flowering time, it should turn out better all around that way I hope.

 

[LLsBestGo]

Starting to notice some progress on the seed development, yay! ​

Lemon Sour Diesel x Frost Boss

Blueberry x Frost Boss

what a relief..
I should be able to get some seeds for sure now
OG #7 isn't showing as much seed development but I'm expecting it's not far behind.
-
Other than that the plants probably received some stress from the partial harvest
Probably doesn't need a whole lot of nutrients either to finish as there isn't as much growth to photosynthesize, and the seeds will pull the nutrients they need from the plant to a extent.
Still some twisted growth apparent, along with slight tip burns.
-
Moving along well now as long as they keep developing.
​

 

[LLsBestGo]

First noticeable seed on the OG #7
OG #7 x Frost Boss seed​

 

[LLsBestGo]

The seeds are starting to gain color
still not quite mature yet, another 2 - 4 weeks until they're ready I'm guessing.
Currently they're @ about 2 weeks & 3 days since pollination
Plants Have been flowering for about 9 weeks now​

Lemon Sour Diesel

OG #7

Blueberry

[LLsBestGo]

One of my LED lights burnt out..
I'll finish the 3 plants with 1light as that's my only option currently.​

 

[LLsBestGo]

The OG #7 still has some pretty great looking buds, the buds on the Blueberry & Lemon Sour Diesel not so much.
After growing the Lemon Sour Diesel a second time, I'm thinking this one has leafier genetics after all. The buds on the Lemon Sour Diesel just didn't grow dense like the OG #7 & frost boss did...

Seeds not quite done yet, & seem to be doing less well on the Blueberry & Lemon Sour Diesel
Couple photo's of the OG #7 showing how the seeds have progressed
& the nice bud that's left​

Probably should be sprouting my next one's around now, but I don't have a place for them yet.​

Cute girls my friend.
Did you get a light to replace the one that died on you?

 

[LLsBestGo]

Did you get a light to replace the one that died on you?

Not yet, just letting the seeds finish under the one light.
I'm thinking of replacing the two lights with a Mars TS 1000 & using the previous LED light I have left in another tent eventually for starts, house plants, etc..
Also considering a smaller tent (Mars 2'x2') among other things for my next grow.

 

[Bill284]

The Mars is popular with members.

 

[LLsBestGo]

Yeah. My last light that went out was some no name brand and it didn't even last a year, so I'm thinking of going with one more reputable.

 

[StoneOtter]

Looking good LL! Nice to see seeds!

 

[LLsBestGo]

Lemon Sour Diesel Seeds finished

There are a few ripe one's on the OG #7, but I'm going to let it grow longer until more ripen. Perhaps a week or so.

OG #7 still looking good

Might not get as many seeds off of the Blueberry as it hasn't done as well.
Lots of green one's still, a couple ripe one's.

Blueberry
