Day 14 Flowering: Hi all . I hope we all had great Christmas fun with those that matter to us and that we had plenty of close personal contact and shared emotions.
The Ladies have been treating me to an amazing floral display this week with all of them in full flowering mode now.
Gorilla Girl # is a bushy lady in need of a good defoliate once the stretch has finished. she is mid stretch now by the look of her and i am hoping that her stretch will open her up a little more.
#2 is the furthest ahead in her floral development and bud size but again needs some leaf stripping out to get the light to the many forming buds. They are like mini golf balls now and I love this part of the cycle. The pics speak for themselves of the hairy little beasts.
#3 is feeling the restraints of the 30L pots over her sisters. she is a lot smaller in general although stretching nicely too. She is forming nice bud sets and has great potential if the stretch can boom her size a little more.
I used low stress training on these 3 ladies to keep their height low enough for my restriction but I decided the next two could be a little bit of an experiment while I try to establish a perpetual grow operation with autos. Having only grown 1 crop of these in the past , I felt I needed to find what worked for me in this space so I have pulled #4 over using her 5th node only, into an arc shape amd the sweet cheese has been left to do her own thing with little interference from me.
Gorilla girl#4 looks the largest of theb group now with her frame set in this way. Her lower branches have shot updating her stretch to surpass the main node quite a bit. she is filling her 60L pot with ease and has some great looking colas starting to form up. Seeing her move slightly ahead thisbway is a real shock as she seemed to struggle to get going initially and I worried about the transplanting shock. this is clearly not the case now for sure.
Sweet Cheese is looking great too now. Her natural shape and size are really workable in my space. Genetically she is a smaller strain on paper too so I am interested to see how she ends up and will have a better understanding hopefully of how autos can differ in different combos.
All in all a great week with new seedlings hitting the air too !. more to come on that one soon .
Thanks for the visit , please feel free to comment , giggle , smile or whatever your fancy takes.
be safe and well growmies. until next time. peace and blessings. welcome to The Age of Aquarius xx
