Pheno Hunt

week 6 starting this week, I once again lowered my nutrient levels to about ~5-8 ml/gal with ph adjusted to 6. By the next watering, I will no longer add nutrients or adjust the waters ph. - Looking at possible modifications to the screen for the next run. I need something more durable that doesn’t allow the tent to flex in so much with the negative air pressure, which allows the trellis to have slack leaving the buds to lean on each other. Luckily, I’m around enough throughout the day to move them, watching for moisture buildup. I’ve seen a few ideas on the interwebs with PVC, hooks, and string that should be relatively cheap. The humidity also dropped too which is an added bonus considering that I’m nearing the end of the flower cycle. I am also going to start the screen about 6" lower so that the buds can grow longer and bigger - As of now, it’s looking as if only 3 or 4 will move on to the next round of the pheno hunt. - -- Kiwi Skunk has been an utter disappointment. Of the 3 phenos, only one has any tricombs and to me, No frost = No Good. I’ve had a few friends tell me that “even with no crystals, it’ll still get you high…” Yeah, but so will brick weed, if you smoke enough of it. I am giving away the moms of those strains to friends just want to grow one plant for funsies. If they can keep it alive, I doubt they’ll know the difference. -- HSO Blue Dream is doing awesome and is the most resinous out of all of them. It’s filling in nicely and the aroma is amazing! tsssss! There’s a good reason that this is a popular strain. I would say the only downside is the flowering time (~75 days), compared to something like the critical kush (~60 days). She’s a keeper tho. -- Critical Kush is currently using every plant around it for support. The buds are solid and uniform and smell good.. By looks alone, this one is a definite keeper to the collection provided she’s good. She’s well covered with tricombs, but I’ve been fooled by deceitful looking bud before. The only thing I do not like is the flimsy stems which should be alleviated by installing a new trellis support system. -- Pineapple Chunk has surprisingly underwhelmed me. It was the only survivor out of 5 seeds I ordered. They either didn’t pop, or never grew past a sprout before they died. It carried over from my last grow and I’ve given it out for others to grow, but I dont think it’ll go much further than this. It grows spectacularly well, is robust, and moderately resinous. For me, It lacks punch. It has the bag appeal and a musty tropical smell. I dunno, maybe for the casual smoker, its decent, but now that I’m using new nutrients, I’ll have to wait until cure to find out if she’s a keeper. -- Kush Cookies. This one is another undecided strain. I have another pheno in veg which I grew on my last run and one that mysteriously began to flower under 24hr T5, but was not able to fit her without first tossing out others to make room. I’ll probably run them side by side through the next cycle and decide what to do with them unless she turns out to be booty. -- True OG. I have yet to try this one, and after watching it grow, I’ll pass. Don’t get me wrong, she’s mean looking with plenty of trics, but not willing to waste my time on such a small yielder. --Granny Panties. I got this seed from a friend who said this strain from a friend of a friend, is amazing. Everyone always says they got 🔥 but only harvest and cure will tell…
