gwhunran · Aug 24, 2022

Panama
Day 17 since flip.

Reservoir change day. Since there are now pistils showing, Added 100% of the recommended amounts of GH three part liquid nutes for 18gal in "Transition." PHed to 5.5-6.0. Added 60ml CalMag+.

Light was raised to 30" above screen and power level was increased to 400w out of 600w. Measured 45k LUX at screen.

CO2 bubbling away.

Panama
Day 18 since flip.

Evening check. Everything normal.

Plants are still immature enough that I am still able to tie down branches. Very soon I will only be able to tuck in the back. I can't reach them well enough to tie them down.

Panama
Day 20 since flip.

Morning check. Everything normal.

Changing out CO2 bucket today.

Still finding places to tie down branches. I've got room to spread out more in the back but everything else is about full.

Plants look great. The Panama Red Death strain I mainlined into 4 branches went insane.
Good luck with your grow. I’m hoping 90 days for mine.

I will just keep tying it down and tucking as long as possible. They're throwing pistils but are not sticky yet. That's usually my stopping point if the screen isn't full. I'm planning on 100 days and will be pleasantly surprised if they finish earlier.

It’s quite surprising to see such a short stretch out of the Panama, your lucky. Lol

I've never grown a long flowering sativa. Maybe it will just keep growing for a long time and slowly flower? :hmmmm:

Looking good Amigo :cool:

I started seeing pistils at 16 days after flip on these.

@gwhunran ,

Hey GW. Just for reference, here are a couple of photos from the Panama photo-period I grew. The purple one is 22 days after flip and the natural light is 23 days after flip.

The plant looks fantastic. We'll have to see if mine has the same bud structure when it develops more.

Mine are trying to push me from the tent. Even had a few spears pop up out of nowhere going 8 inches passed the rest at 3 weeks into flower.

Your welcome to post a few pictures here. Please label them so we can keep everything straight. Do you have a grow journal on them?

Currently here I do not. I will find a spot and try to put together what I have been working on and going through.

Morning check, everything normal.

Added PH up.

Things may be speeding up? Throwing pistils at an increasing rate.

CO2 bubbling away.

Panama, Day 22 flower. Things may be speeding up? Stretch?

I do believe they are stretching. Faster growth with wider node spacing. How tall will they get before the stretch is over, I wonder?

Panama, Day 23 flower. They are stretching. Not so obvious from the picture but from daily observation, it's a safe bet.

What happens to the buckets when the CO2 stops. 12l charred white oak barrel, 1 gal toasted white oak barrel. It takes on the amber color after a couple years. The 1/2 gal jar contains clear from the distiller.

Panama
Day 24 since flip.

Reservoir change day. As the plants are still just starting to throw pistils and I think they are stretching, I added amounts of GH three part liquid nutes for 18 gal. between " Transitiion" and "Early Bloom." PHed to 5.5-6.0. Added 60ml CalMag+, and 30ml KoolBloom.

CO2 bucket bubbling away.

AC in recirc. mode, and fans are blowing at maximum.

Light: 450w out of 600w, 30" above screen, measured at 47k lux.
