Day 35F update, playiin in traffic
I am 4-5 IPAs deep and this is your fair warning. Whatever is said from here on out I will take full responsibilty for but likely regret. This hopefully will be short but could easily spiral into a worthless novel.
Fed/watered last Saturday and nothing since then. All I can say is if you haven't used the AC infiinity fabric pots then you may not understand. Risers or not they are way thicker and just retain moisture much more than other fabric pots i have. Whether this is good or bad is another topic but I surely have been caught off guard with feeling I would be over-watering at more than 1 time a week in the 5th week of flower. Maybe it is laziness, maybe it is me thinking they were/are doing fine as far as how I have been fertigating. One thing is for sure though, today was/is the roughest/toughest I've had since growing.
Turns out the Black Domina that nannered has pollinated at my entire grow aside from the Vanilla Frosting, yet. Yesterday and the day before I was psyched and trying to look on the bright side. Today I'm at a low with how much time and money I've wasted and will continue to through harvest. Which brings me to the actual point of this update.
I want to be clear about my genetics "blame game" and how it is simply most likely a way for me to not take responsibility for being a poor cultivator. Whether light leaks, inconsistent VPD, poor PH and or Nute and watering practices, or a host of other things, I honestly think the nanners I got from the Purple Dragon Balls from 7eastgenetics 2 grows or so ago and the Black Domina from Sensei Seeds grew balls because of me, not them.
I knew what I was getting into with trying to run 8 strains and also admitted before doing so it was the last time I would do such a thing. I had compiled a gang of seeds I morally felt obligated to run and wanted to, albeit knowing it would complicate things.
So here we are. Seeds that I can see in a bud here and there on every plant aside one already, and it is what it is. I've got the choice to scrap the grow and start over or make the best of the seedy weed to come. I'm choosing option 2 and just going to accept that which I cannot change.
I do have 1 question though. Since the flowers lose a bit of focus and it goes towards seed development, am I better off leaving them alone than plucking them?
