This stuff is called Blackberry Moonrocks. There is more to this story than I have told tho.
This was without a doubt one of the most horrible looking stressed plants I have grown in thirty years. Complete and total Operator Error. It’s me, Im the operator!
Some of you will recall I won a Spider Farmer light at the other place. It was the SE (I believe) 5000. First grow under it went off like clockwork.
Second grow, I screwed up bad. I was unaware that the toggle switch on it has two settings. One, you can control the volume of the light, the other if turned on negates anything you do on your percentage dial and it’s a full on 100%. Normally, I start my veg off at 40% and I ease her up to 90% during flower.
That switch got moved during clean up. I started this stuff out at 100%. Sitting the dial believing I was increasing it daily.
This plant was a huge problem from week one on. I threw everything at her. I tested ph, I tested soil content and conditions. I top dressed, foilar fed, raised the lights to the top of the tent….you name it I did it! She continued to look like shit and burnt up.
I never believed she would make the entire flower cycle, but I kept throwing water and feed at her. I also inspected her daily to make sure the stress was not herming her. Shockingly, it remained female.
So nine weeks later, I harvest a medium sized crop of burnt up looking shit. This shit will send ya to the moon and make you barf!
All of my old teachers have always told me, a stressed plant is the best plant. I can say, seeing is believing now.
I also feel like this was some steady ass strong genetics to keep from full on herming under such stress.
So, for those of you wondering about my five by five solo plant grow, this is why I did not continue the post. The worst/best plant I have grown in 35 years.
It would have scared the hell out of you..it did me.
