Brand new aktive intake aka aktive Zuluft folks!
It's like a turbo and now I can dim down the main fan as it doesn't have to pull so hard.
Significantly more quiet now and there's still negative pressure in the tent. That's a Secret Jardin DF16 150 dimmable/ temp controlled fan and a cut up vacuum bag hepa filter
This is day 40 if I didn't miscount...
OaxacanX A5
Not sure if it's visible in this shot, I think I've been able to curb the stretch... heavy pinching/ supercropping on all new growth every couple days. This one already reeks to high heavens... lemon mainly.
I'm a bit worried about the remaining 2 Seychellos as they do not seem to be impressed by the pinching.
There is also not a lot of smell to them either... hedge and garden clippings come to mind. I'm not really sure I even want to take clones off these as it's already very late and I don't think the outcome will be that great?
I was right fearing that the Seychellos would just keep growing and you can see the back right already growing into the light...
The oaxacan X A5 front right had also gotten quite tall so had to apply some brutality and lay the top of the tops flat
Until last week the sticky traps had caught some fliers but since the second BTI treatment there have been none so hoping it was really just fungus gnats
I made some additional headroom by taking out the light hangers and if needed I can take the carabiners
So far the ladiesare looking healthy and I've swapped the AC inf fan for my old PrimaKlima125 as it was not abel to deal with the humidity as well as being too loud for my liking. Lost the computer control, but the PK keeps the rh nice and low for the second half without any problems.
They're developing nicely, it's flower day 51 for the Oaxacan and the Seychellos and day 24 for the California Indica
Oaxacan X A5 Haze
Seychellos starting to look fierce and one of the two started to smell super sour and of unwashed pussy, can't describe it any other way... sour dirty pussy
Cali Indica
Here's my new makeshift tent heater, a small oil radiator
strapped to the active intake.
Keeps the temps up so I don't have to heat the entire room all the time as it's getting springy here rn
Yet another few changes...
I changed the caluma bars from under canopy lighting to above canopy support as they have UV in their spectrum and the lower leaves were not loving it to get UV from the bottom.
Instead I've put some headless philips bulbs on stakes and put them in the pots for a ghetto under canopy lighting solution hahaha.
Remember "Under canopy lighting is changing the game and so is ghetto bulbs on stakes"
Two 13w bulbs for now, two more will follow
Oh and some new arrivals: A friendly compadre sent me a couple bubblegum and RS11 clones
They look a bit roughed up but are ok
And this Afghan Lemon gal is also doing well, flowering out in the lightproofed
veg compartment under blue light we'll see how that goes
Update day 64 for the Oaxacan x A5 Haze and the Seychellos, both developing nicely.
The Oaxacan x A5 is starting to bulk up, smells real zesty, lemony with added dry, sweet incense.
The first Seychello smells floral a bit, the second still smells like sour unwashed pussy for lack of a better description. Raunchy.
O xA5 I reckon will need another 3 weeks so roughly in line withe ACE's recommendation of 12 weeks
The Seychellos.. well who knows how long they're going to take.
They will finish at some point... maybe.
The California Indica is at day 40
Glad to see the happy leaves, bein able to really control VPD is a game changer
Here's one of the Afghan Lemons, day 27
And lastly the mums, a few additional new clones have come in:
- A selected Bubble Gum pheno from Serious Seeds
- Vienna Bubblegum
- Rainbow Sherbert 11
- 3Chems
- Sportgummi Wilson
They're all getting pinches of Dr Forest Veg mix nutes topdressed for now.
As one of my main priorities is to re-discover real Indiana Bubblegum the two different Bubblegums will go into the flower compartment next. Most likely in smaller pots, with less veg time together with the Afghan Lemon in the former Veg compartment that's now on 12/12 to get them flowering rightaway. I only need a few nugs each really to determine if they're close to to the real thing and worth keeping.
I kid you not… don’t know how to describe it any other way. If she turns out to be a keeper I’ll run a poll here, it’ll either be called
Unwashed Beaver or
Sour Dirty Pussy
