Parnelli's Covid-19 Indoor Grow

[013]

Groovy! Congrats on this

Thanks 013 - I'm getting excited

The extent of my Xmas decorations

Yup same here I spared made no effort...

It's experiment time - I added 1/2 tsp unsulphered molasses to 1.5L H2O - from what I've been reading it might help the girls absorb more nutes from the Fox Farm soil mix - don't really think it will hurt anything and might plump up the buds

 

[013]

excellent - I’m curious to hear your observations!

I just put some fresh Thyme in the tent with the girls; I'm sure they'll get along. Finally pulled the temp/humidity sensor up into the canopy 79.5F 35%h - down toward the bottom its 71 at the warmest; more proof that heat rises

Realized I haven't put any pix out there - the autoflower is going to be ready first - maybe 2-3 weeks
1st two pix are the red.

Getting frostier - the tric's on the Malawi are still looking clear (best I can see with the loupes and magnifying glass I have) - should be seeing cloudy tric's within the next 10 days. I'm guessing mid-late Feb before the Red is ready. The red has stretched to the point of being about 12 inches from the LED. I've trained as much as I am able and I can't raise the LED any higher in my grow tent. Hope the lamp doesn't give Red a sunburn.

Absolutely beautiful.

I just saw the same brown tips this morning on my autoflower grow. I'm about 10 days away from harvest and my first impression is that the fan leaves are beginning to wither. My girls have a lot of fan leaves (kinda like Sally Rand at an LBJ party); I have not trimmed as much as other growers have. I'll get a pic today.



I've have doubled up on the mfg's recommended application of bloom nutes - every week instead of every two weeks. Perhaps it's a bit too much. The auto is a smaller plant than the Red and I've noticed that there is excess water in the catch pan where there is no water in the larger (female) plant.

Here's the brown tips:

Tried something new to see the tric's - smushed (technical term) the loupes together and viola the image was more magnified - should have thought about that a long time ago - what a maroon - the tric's are still clear - not long now!

When I training, I pinch the stem between my thumb and finger until she fall over by herself.

This is the least stressful on the plant in IMO

If you snap a stem it is still mendable, if care for right away.

The images is a Jack Herrer that got away from me.

It's not uncommon to do a 90 degrees been.

Tok..

Great method I use it all the time.

Looks good, Burnt tips is nute burn from feeding to much. Mid flower I usually push it until I see small amounts of tip burn then back off from the nutes a little and then I know the max level of nutes for that plant. Let them finish up good!

I'm going to try that on my next grow - do u squeeze hard enough to crush the stem u r trying to bend?

If you roll it back and forth between your thumb and finger it will flop over on its own.
Just lightly squeezing don't crush it too fast. Sometimes you have to tie it down, or she can pop right back up.

Starting week 9 of flowering on the Malawi - could harvest as early as the end of the week (Ace Seeds says 9-10 weeks of flower time to harvest this hybrid) - trichomes still looking clear and no sign of amber trich's

Here's a pic of the Malawi x Northern Lights - I'm looking for cloudy/amber trich's every day
