Colombian and Colombian Crosses

Day 55,,,36f stretch 1 inch in two days

Do you follow Tom Hill at all on Instagram growsince? He is a big sativa guy. I've heard some of these strains taking less than 10 hours of light to flower properly is why I asked. May just need a little less light time?

This sounds wild and I'm not saying to do this but I saw in another post @Aqua Man was talking about a 6/6 light schedule. I recently came across someone else claiming to run a 6/18 light cycle in flower and that plants love it apparently. Also watching someone else's grow journal on another site that is doing it and getting good results.

I posted the video in the thread about bubblehash. Skip to about the 50 minute mark if you wanna hear what the guy has to say. Worth a listen I'd say.

 

[Aqua Man]

is this from cline or seed and hkw many weeks now?

The CSB I just posted is 55 days from seed-36 days flower. They probably have 6 weeks to go. I should have used bigger pots.

 

[MDK]

Do you think they may have an internal clock that's keeping them from flowering? I've heard of some sativas that won't flower until they are like 3 months old.

Outside in Colombia, they always get at least 11.5 hour days. Some are just POS and never make good buds.

Yes that's absolutely true. But you would think a clone taken from a mature plant, rooted in the flower room would flower right away. The original was a herm (or was it?) I just wanted to see if I could root it in 11hrs light. I'll keep it around a little longer in the name of science.

Thats my thoughts

Stick a nail through the stalk to fix the clock. Sarcastic answer, but ?

 

[growsinse79]

the internal clock is day 87 now, the male is done and pollen used and frozen.

I done that before haha. I even made a battery magnet with nail and wire around the stalk. I don't think it did shit. haha

Yeah im not sure how else to explain that bro… has me scratching my head

The male Colombian didn't take forever. So if I make Col x CSB seeds and cross the fastest one (3/4 Col) back to the frozen pollen what would happen? The world may never know, or will they?

Only one way to find out brother… no guarantee of any trait to be passed on…. Roll the is my vote

These are early girl. This one got a blight from too much rain. Due to the heat, fast determinant varieties are all I can grow here. By mid July they are done.

 

[growsinse79]

Colombian Saucyballs day 37. Mexican- Dirty Shame day 8. Did some defoliating. The stretching is almost done and hopefully they start doing something. I don't see seeds yet, but it looks like they are making.

 

[growsinse79]

I don't remember if the Mexican parents petioles were this long. But these look freaky long for what I'm used to nowadays.

 

[Max]

I think the light has something to do with that or how they make better use of it..petioles growing longer to position the leaves to capture more light.I get long petioles on my plants every grow on the lower ones .

 

[growsinse79]

Colombian Saucyballs day 39 flower. Mexican Dirty Shame day 10 flower, not showing yet.

 

[growsinse79]

Mexican day 11, stretched 2" in 4 days.

 

[growsinse79]

Mexican day 14f. 31 days from sprout I see a girl. It's faster than Colombian so far. Still staying fairly short so - far 5" in 7 days

 

[growsinse79]

CSB day 44 flower. taking entirely too long.

 

[Max]

I’m wondering whether you could run far red pucks after lights out for 15 mins to put them to sleep quicker and maybe try and shave a week off the flowering.

I'd like to try sometime, but they aren't cheap. I thought about doing that with a cheap halogen.

 

[Max]

If you weren’t so far away I’d lend you mine ..this is what I used...Enforcer from the ffffffffffaaarm uses these.I purchased 2 far red pucks with the 30v adapter and splitter. Scroll down and you’ll see the splitter and 30v adapter. I pad extra 5 bucks for the lense covers https://rapidled.com/products/far-red-initiator-puck

 

[growsinse79]

Colombian Saucyballs day 47 flower. 85f day and 80f night. These girls are taking entirely too long. The stretch is done with a few inches to spare.
I think the CSB pollen failed. I see a couple seeds from the Colombian pollen.

 

[growsinse79]

At this rate, the Mexican might finish before the Colombian Saucyballs. day 48 and 19 flower.

This reminds me of my strawberry cough i have. This is what it looked like 9 weeks after changing to 12/12. Sativas are rough man.

 

[Max]

What light schedule they on GS. 11/13..

Hard to believe these are 40% Indica.

Buddy this is crazy. And I was whining about how long my last harvest with GMO in it took.

You have the paitence of Job. I'm sending good vibes it's worth the wait.

It's really not that long considering how early it was flipped. Today is 68 days from sprout days, and they would be twice as big now if I had the space. I normally go seed to harvest in about 100 days, these shouldn't be too much longer than that. I just hope I can keep them alive in 2 gal bags that long. I'm getting some red stem, burned tips and curling already. I been feeding pretty light, it might need more K.

 

[moe.red]

What is the soil?

I'm seeing a little yellow fringe on a couple of fans there. I'm too new at soil to help you with specifics, but in general it does look like K to me as well. In hydro I'd start asking questions about ph and stuff, but you have been doing this a lot longer than me. I'm gonna watch you and see how to fix this. Still seems really early and should be recoverable.

I just upped the feed 1/4 tsp and added potassium silicate. I had stopped the silica about a week ago so...we'll see. If that doesn't work, I'll break out the secret cure all.

That outta do. You have plenty of time to stop the silica IMO.

Do you ever use potassium nitrate supplement?
