Hey everyone, I am currently flowering both Rainbow belts 2.0 and Samoas. Both strains are from seed, received from Archive. So far the genetics are really shining through, especially on the the rainbow belts. This project is getting near the end of week 5 flowering, so I’ll keep you up to date on its progress. But in the meantime I’ll let you know how I got to this point. We planted seeds( both male and female) took clones of all of them, culled the existing almost-mature males and flowered all remaining females. We now have about half and half strainwise in the grow space. This project is for a pheno hunt...I am not worried about final yield or anything. This is the reason we only vegged for a week and a half, after seed proliferation. The plants are still completely green, save one or two bottom leaves.The Zkittles smell is off the charts on two of the belts plants. Any advice on late flowering organic soil growing would be appreciated(I havent grown in 4 years, and I have never grown 100% organically). Also if anyone on here is growing these same strains hit me up. So enjoy some week 5 pics, grown all LED, all organic...in the middle of my hot summer. The first pic is Rainbow belts, the second pic is Samoas
All Organic(Soil)-Rainbow belts 2.0 and Samoas
- Thread starter Hushpuppy
- Start date
So I transplanted the clones earlier today, while watching belgium dominate portugal lol. The clones have been sitting/saturating for a while in a clone dome with vents 1/4 open and the hormone solution 1/3 to 1/2 way up the cubes. Roots are looking healthy, white, and thick. Gave them regular water today, but they will start getting their first myco doses soon and should really take off after that. Anyways that is this mornings update, happy growin everyone

Tonights Update(day 35): decided to do a little light LST during flowering. Tied some of the tops down about another 40 degrees to even up the canopy, since I’m growing all from seed and the canopy was all over the place. This also allowed me to drop the two led lights a few inches, and that should exponentially help any bud site receiving light. Also did the last defoliation I will do, since the orientation of the plants changed during tying them down. First pics are canopy before, then tied down. Also I have decided on a 10 day heavy flush and 20 days of no extra nutes. Chime in if you have something to add.
Day 36 flowering. Gave the plants their last myco amended feeding tonight. I wouldn’t give it to them any later than this. After a heavy flush sometime next week, I want the remaining nutrients in the soil to be less bio-available or accessible to the plant. That way the last 10-15 days they can focus using any remaining stored nutrients in the plant on the buds themselves.
Day 37: First 3 pics above are the three samoas phenotypes. Second 3 are the three rainbow belts phenos. I think they are all nice, but the belts#3 is the most interesting to me. It looks like a super resin producer, and I can’t wait to possibly do a whole tent of it topped and scrogged. I’ll wait until I try the final results before I make a decision but it is already looking like a keeper. Peace
