A Cornucopia of Delightful Cannabis Cultivars

[Costanza]

It was my birthday yesterday and I had one mission so I sat at my computer and refreshed the page every 30 seconds like a crazy person so I didn’t miss the latest bodhi drop. This is the one I wanted badly and it sold out within minutes on all of the seed sites so I made sure I grabbed two packs

Happy birthday brother.

Thanks getting old really sucks but I guess it’s better than the alternative

Lotus done drying in herbsnow and trimmed up. I put 4oz in a grove bag and threw it in the basement in my little curing room. The rest is hanging in that same room probably another 5-6 oz so not too shabby about 10-11 oz off this snow lotus and about 6 off the lemon cream pie for a total of 17-18 oz.

pics from last night day 5 in flower tent. The stretch is starting and I’m not gonna lie I’m a little intimidated especially since I have a feeling the Panama in the top left is gonna stretch 3x. I switched from watering twice per day once at 830pm and once at 830am to 4 times per day adding 230am and 230pm but the little runoff tray under the small plant in the front right was filling up by mid day and I had to manually empty it or suck out the water with my small water pump so I did what any mechanically declined jackass would do I took a steak knife and cut some drain holes so the runoff flows into the larger drip tray. Looks like shit but it works and that’s all that matters

I’m afraid I’m gonna run into an issue soon with the two plants in the back. I need to find a solution for this extra long light hanging chain it’s just too long it’s like 15 inches and that’s just not gonna cut it. In the past I’ve used cheap dollar store shower curtain rings to just hold the light up higher by attaching metal plant wires to the rings but I’d like to do it less ghetto this time so I’m looking for some type of low profile hanger for a spider farmer sf4000 style light if anyone has any suggestions I’m all ears. Mean while back in the tent they’re looking nice but anxiety is setting in about the stretch need to get this light raised within the next 2 weeks or it’s gonna be crazy in here

I run 4 ratchet hangers per light, one on each corner. I can get my lights like 3 inches from the ceiling. I hate those hangers for that very reason man.

The second I typed that last post I remembered I bought ratchet hangers so now I’m gonna search my basement they gotta be down there somewhere

The hangers are always too cheesy for me to trust. I feel as if my light is gonna snap them and crash on my plants lol. Plus now that I'm running all bar lights, I could grow 6 footers inside raising them to the ceiling

I found them and raised the light up a little bit. Now I can get close to the full 7 foot ceiling in this tent I think I’m gonna need it with the two in the back

 

[Costanza]

Look at the 7 day stretch on these plants. Gonna have to raise the light up once again

 

[MysticEpipedon]

Is that the first week of stretch? Do you still have week 2 or 3 ahead of you?

its day 12 so not too horrible

Only thing that sucks about scrogging in this 4x4 is when it comes time to do the week 2 trim and cleanup. There is an access point on the left but with my equipment hanging on the side flap with the surge protector and cables it’s a real pain to maneuver in there so I did the best I could do. I layed on my side and just reached in there and tried to take as much as I could under the canopy to clean it up and get some air flow then I did the best I could and reached over the two front plants and took some larger fan leaves and a few of the noodle branches I like to call them I still have to clean a few more up but it’s a start. During the week I’ll remove a few more of the scrawny branches that just clog up the canopy but overall I think it looks decent I supercropped the hell out of the Panama and the diesel in the back they’re long lanky ladies

 

[steamroller]

Nice with the super cropping~!

 

[Costanza]

Round two on the defoliation I’m happy with the results now I think I got enough off of the plants. Had to order a 2nd net the tops in the back are all over the place once I get a 2nd net in there they will look better. The buds are developing the fastest on the Panama which I’m surprised I was expecting one of the lemonaid hybrids to bud first but maybe that’s a sign that the panamas won’t take 14 weeks fingers crossed

 

[Costanza]

Installed a 2nd net to try and space out these larger colas in the back. It would figure that my favorite plant in the tent is a high cbd strain, not saying it can’t be a good smoke but the most thc I’m gonna get from this plant is 10% if I’m lucky I’m just hoping for as close to a 1:1 strain as I can get since it seems to help when i get anxiety attacks.

Also I neglected to get a picture of it but I’ll try to remember tonight. The Panama is a bleeder. I noticed that a day after I super cropped that plant everywhere there was a bend on the stem it had this bright red Hawaiian Punch colored marks on the stems and I noticed on one of the topped branches that the sap is blood red which is exciting as hell I never had a bleeder before and I’m not sure if it’s bullshit but I’ve heard that certain bleeders have really good terps but who knows what to believe when growing weed we will see what happens in the end

Is the Panama a Bodhi strain? I've had a few of those bleeders, all from him, then later his cut Dragon Blood was a known bleeder.
IDK how, what, or why it happens. Even asked Jorge Cervantes about it but he couldn't answer and he published an encyclopedia on cannabis

 

[Costanza]

Day 21 just switched to bloom powder tonight. Sour d hashplant and Carmel afghan are the first to get some frost and smell and so far the sour smells like motor oil and the caramel smells like a combo of citrus and kind of like a pear I’ve never had pear terps.

no the panama is originally from Coastal Seeds, and was worked by Crickets and Cicada, its an F4 an it was bred for CBD and CBG. Most phenos they said tested around 2:1 CBD dom with 20% swings in both directions so I'm hoping to find as close to a 1:1 as I can find. I was unable to find any info out on the bleeders either.

 

[GoodShit97]

I was reading it happens when stomata are closed off and moisture can't escape it will release xylem sap through the water glands.
If I'm following yall right, it's called "guttation"
Says it's caused by high root pressures.

Nah this is something different. It's not a secretion and it's internal.
Say when you top a plant or cut a clone off a mother. 99.9% of the time the sap that oozes out from the cut will be clear but .01% of the time it's blood red

Ahh. Gotcha.
I've had some that have done what I was talking about, and maybe 2? Strains that bled orangish red when topped. Nothing blood red tho

That’s it no more daytime dabs for me. I just had a 15 minute conversation at the grocery store with some old timer collecting donations for the shiners. The main topic of conversation was how similar they are to the grand puba and the water buffalo lodge on the flintstones.

Day 28. Going good so far. It’s been hot as hell the past few days and the ac has been getting some work.

 

[SSgrower]

Happy Birthday a day late.

I think that's called belated, so Happy you scored good genetics for the big day,Cheers

 

[Costanza]

Day 32 just trying to keep them healthy and not get too crazy with the nutrient levels. Right now I’m staying around 1.9-2.0 ec and noticing slight tip burn on a few leaves here and there but overall they seem to like this level. I noticed when I was a little lower around 1.7 I was getting some calcium deficiency so I’d rather have some slight tip burn than ugly brown leaves

 

[Costanza]

Some day 39 Bud shots

Its super early at day 42 today, but I think its safe to say that the sour d hashplant is the sexiest lady in this tent. The colas further in the back of the tent are getting huge and I can't reach my alligator arms in there enough to get some good pics of the ones in the back that are twice the size of the others but here is one that is about halfway and she is frosty as hell. Super excited to try this one I just hope her smell carries over with the cure because she is one stinker for sure more complex than I expected not only does she have that diesel oil rag stench but she has a nice piney almost evergreen essence to her with a slight lemon pledge mixed in at the end I wonder if the pine part is from the 88g13hp father since it seems to be so dominant in crosses. Anyway just wanted to share this little bud I've been staring at for the past day from day.

 

[Costanza]

this is the best compliment I've ever had LOL

i'm the only one here that thinks that, some sexy lookin buds man!!!!

Day 45 I figure I’ve got about 35-40 days left on most of them maybe 50 for the Panama. I changed my lights to 13/11 to try and help the Panama out a little bit so I’m not sitting here for a month after I harvest the rest waiting for a 14 week sativa. On a side note I had some really shitty luck with clones this year my batch a few months ago didn’t root and died and I just had 8 out of 9 of my sunshine 4 clones kick the bucket and I’m babying this last one hoping she’s gonna be ok she’s has a small root sticking out the side so there’s some hope.

 

[Costanza]

One other thing I really suck at growing sativas can never get them dialed in like I can with the Indicas and hybrids that’s gonna be my goal after this grow to try and grow some of this haze I got sitting around I’m thinking I really gotta go gentle on the nutrients next time I couldn’t really do much because of the reservoir auto watering the 4 of them and I was afraid if i went too low the other 3 would be effected

 

[Costanza]

I’m so mad that I didn’t take clones of this diesel I gotta hope for a reveg and I have yet to successfully reveg a plant so it’s pretty slim but it’s my only chance to keep this pheno. She’s got about 3 weeks left Wednesday is the start of week 8 so she should be done by the end of week 10 beginning of week 11. I’m gonna do a partial harvest on them all in waves so I can hopefully get the lower buds more developed because this canopy is blocking a lot of light from getting to those lowers and I can’t reach far enough into the back of the tent to remove any fan leaves.

 

[Costanza]

Taking a t break right now and it really sucks. My seasonal allergies have been triggering my asthma and vaping the bud is no longer enjoyable because it feels like I’m breathing out of a straw. I’ve been wanting to take a break for a bit anyway to get my tolerance back down so the flower will effect me more and I guess this is natures way of forcing a t break on me. I did great from Saturday until this afternoon but luckily I had some 50mg thc/cbd gummies in the cupboard for an emergency so I cut it in 4 and ate a 1/4 to try and keep it at 12.5/12.5. I have a neighbor that micro doses flower and takes like 2 hits at a time and only smokes like once a week and I don’t know how the hell he does it but I wish I had that type of willpower but until then the gummies are gonna have to do the trick to lower the tolerance a bit

 

[Costanza]

Some pics at day 51. I’m in love with this diesel. She’s the nicest and healthiest plant I’ve grown to date. The Panama is gonna take forever but I’m seeing some signs that she’s maturing finally. Seems like that plant stretched 4 times and didn’t stop until week 7.

 

[Costanza]

Some pics of the other two plants. The caramel afghan still smells like tangerines with some lavender lemon mixed in and the Congo still smells like lime skittles but it’s getting a weird rubbery smell kind of like bandaids so it’s like lime bandaids.
