Indoor SSSTN

[badass-eu]

Thank you for this valuable advice , today I noticed other open pods with pollen present on the paper, that’s good! This is my first attempt with a male so I'm a little anxious, impatient, otherwise I can say, but I see that patience is required, nature does things well.

Hello ICMAG family, Quite busy at the moment...little update photos, I notice that it has flowered much more since this weekend (when the photos were taken), but the behavior of the shoots is not quite the same , the soil used is much stronger than the first session this may be the cause, I can see that she is suffering now that she is devoting herself to the flo(claws), time should help her because the soil is fading and we're getting to the date of its nutrients...time for photos!

I admit that I am not calm about this flowering, the weather is too changeable and this year we have a lot of rain, some leaves are damaged and I do not hope that it is already because of the humidity. .. I'm waiting to see the formation of the buds to be more confident about this flowering, if at least I can carry out my seed project, I will be delighted, wait and watch

 

[Maria Sanchez]

Looking good.
Yeah, they may have a bit too much N, soil a little to 'hot'.
But it's not too bad, really, and we've all seen much, much worse.
Hope your weather holds out for you, as they're barely flowering at this point.
Keep us updated on the seed making progress!

The weather here is unpredictable between the rain and the strong gusts I'm used this year, good SSSTN is strong I've seen it bend more than 90 degrees during gusts but always stands up straight (I'm thinking about probably placing some tutors to support her anyway), but the humidity can be terrible, that's what I fear...
Now that the flowering is intensifying, at least the appearance of the pistils, I will not delay painting and seeing the magic happen

Both my SSSTN were pretty good against the humid wet weather.
But that still depends on temperature.
Humid + cold is the killer, humid + warm not much problem.
Paint those pistils!! I thought you'd done it already!

Hi ICMAG family, here I am for an update this weekend, the pistils are accumulating but not much, still this surplus of nitrogen which persists..the cutting seems more sensitive than the seed on this point !
Places for photos!

Hmm, they're not very happy about that, are they?
Usually think the 'claw' is from too much N.
But their color is also quite pale, not dark at all, which usually happens with lots of N.
I'd recommend checking the pH of your medium there.
If the pH is off, it will effect all the other nutrients in terms of their uptake.

Correct, I'm thinking of adding a little dolomitic lime to help...

What's the pH at?
Did you test it already?
If it's low, acidic, dolomite lime is good.
But it is also quite slow to act and take affect.
Takes a little while until it gets broken down enough to do its thing.

No, I haven't tested it yet, I'm just imagining, I probably don't have a phmeter nearby this weekend... there is also the possibility of repotting in this situation I think..

Here she is in her new shoes since Thursday, we went from an 11L plastic pot to a 20L fabric pot! As a reminder, the indoor session was done in a 7L pot! Biobizz light mix potting soil for this repotting

 

[badass-eu]

I'm taking this opportunity to update the photos, we're 3 days away from repotting so I suppose it's still taking shape, the pistils are multiplying, that means it's going well, let's take the photos!

Nice range of colas you have there!
They're definitely looking a bit happier than before.
Color is a bit better, and you haven't dropped (m)any fan leaves.
Stretch is coming to an end, is it?
They still must have +/- weeks to go, right? How's the weather where you are?

The first notes of repotting seem positive, at first glance the current floral structure is not like indoors, moreover the rise seems to actually fade... oh yes beautiful colas forming there to see the progress!
The weather varies quite a bit at the moment, the average temperatures oscillate between 10 degrees and 22 degrees here, we suffered a few storms last week so a lot of water and wind at that time, in its last weeks there was peaks at 5-6 degrees certain mornings (3-4 days), we are coming out of 4 days of good weather and the forecast for this weekend is showers and rain... She is doing well for the moment honestly but there is still of the way I think another 6 to 8 weeks maybe less with the reduction of natural light perhaps.

Those low temps, plus and rain, will not be good for them with another 6-8 weeks to go.
Can you move them back inside under lights?

Yes, the weather can become a problem in this case, I don't like putting outdoor plants indoors in view of the animals...I'm going to try to finish the month of October outside and we'll see for November, this will probably be the solution to continue...if anyone has any advice for this crucial step I'm interested

Yeah, I know what you mean about bringing outside plants indoors.
Unless you give it a good spray down for bugs, using something as natural but effective as possible.
Solutions?
The obvious solution, but not the most convenient, would be to make some greenhouse structure around the plant, even up to adding heating to it.
Not sure how practical that is for you.

Nice update

I didn't want to advise as I'm indoor grower only , but 1st pics you showed asking for advice give a sign of looked a bit overwatered.
Also maybe some more nitrogen or grow feed to green them up a little.

I see just now you mentioned a storm so alot of moisture must be present, also these are very Thai heavy strains more landrace like compared to modern hybrids so defo don't require as much water as other modern hybrids.

But looking forward to how your outdoor does compared to your indoor , I dream of a huge tropical outdoor grow I can do 1 day

@Maria Sanchez
I hear you on that but I admit thatThe design of a greenhouse, even a homemade one, seems to be complicated unfortunately, I don't really have the time for it nor the energy for...my initial project did not include any costs and I will stay on this straight line, don't get me wrong I would do everything in my power to help move forward but originally all this is a test for a particular pheno in my climate (this one seems to deviate, this is not to displease me but perhaps I am less inclined to my environment).
@ojd
can't wait to see the rest of the flowering, although it is undergoing at the moment compared to the indoor session I Hope to see more this variety is really fascinating I find, some gems are hidden in there, indeed there have been a lot of water so the pot is well filled for a certain time, she would not like to have her feet in water, it is noted, I plan to add micro-organisms to the pot and I have a product that could perhaps help (fortifier + organic nitrogen source mainly), I am attaching two photos!

Hello ICMAG family, here I am for a weekly update! Last week I had to plant some stakes because SSSTN was starting to lean due to the strong gusts of wind that I receive, plus I gave it a little "microlife" and I would say that it has been visually happy since then, the color is much better and I notice that it continues to grow all the same, slowly but surely... I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me but my eye tells me that it is indeed the pheno pearl but who is more contained/tamed (if I may say so) which gives it a slightly different shape...any opinions? Places for photos!
