Diary Purple Satellite x Big Sur Holy Weed coco grow

Starting my first grow diary with some info. PS x BSHW seeds donated by Vermontman for an auction by MallardDuck.

Indoors in coco/perilite under LEDs.

Planted in 6pack on 4-20, once the seeds sprouted.

Potted up into gallon rootmakers around 5-7 till I can sex them.

LEDs are from budget led (now elevated lighting co) series 2+ full spec.

Feeding GH 6ml micro/9ml bloom with about 5 ml calimagic gallon. pH around 6.0

Hand watering 1 -2 x a day till run through +.

The first week after poting up I added 5ml/gal of southern ag / garden friendly fungicide since the coco was reused and there were some old roots still in the mix after soaking and flushing it out in rainwater.

Now some pics

June 5th updates, still no sexing showing up yet. #'s 1, 3,4,5 and 6 are pretty short internodes. Full spec LED effect likely the cause of that, more blue in them. # 2 has no concern for full spec and wants to run, a full 6" taller than the rest. Repotted into 3 gal fabric pots and pinched 6-5. Trimmed up bottom set of leaves and lower branches. The fans leaves were just too big on bottom couple of branches.

Lights been going down from 18 hrs by an hour every 3/4 days. Will be at 12/12 in a week. Still hand watering until sexed, then will set up automatic with remaining ladies.

They look nice and stocky, supports will go on once males are culled.

Drosera capensis wherever a spring comes out the mountain rock..thousands of them..its a beautiful sight! Where I used to stay also another species of green and red flat leaved ones..they are magical..awesome fungus gnat avengers also! I introduced my mate who commercially farms mushrooms to them to use in his clean rooms, for errant gnats..never looked back..make oxygen for the mushrooms too, more gnats the more they grow win win..Look up pans carnivores on the web..you wont be sorry, another mate of mine..his greenhouse in out of this world literally..

Update down to 12/12 and some m/f showing. #4 taken out already. A few of my Purple Satellite F2's growing outside getting neemed to clean them up before bringing in to fill holes. I'll have to bump back up lights to 15hrs to catch them up. Kind of worried the BSHW x PS will get out of control. We shall see !

Update 6-22, 4 PS x BSHW ladies remaining and a PS F2 popped in from outdoors. Momma loves her Purp. Satellite so have to get more on hand asap. Putting on auto water here this week, had to get some fittings.

3, 5 and 6 all have the same stature, stocky and filling in.

#2 is the tallest and leggiest wanting to run. Moved to side of tent with full spec light but seems not to care one way or the other.

#3 is about a week behind the rest in flowering progression. Seems a bit darker green too.

Beautiful healthy plants, happy you are sharing this grow with us. I do love the Mexican strains. These remind me of maybe of some Mextiza and Verde Limon I had in the past.

And thanks to Vermontman for making these Mexican genetics available.

I'd like to add that the males by coicidence or not seemed to have a similar trait. Given n=2 take it for what it's worth, just an observation. My plant count and experience is very limited with this species anyway.
There were several leafs at least 4 or 5 on both males that had an additional finger aligned with the center one but small. Kinda hard to make out below. The females I only found 1 leaf like this on all four.

You are most welcome!
I love Mexicans, Cannabis and people! Hard working honest goodness all around.

Sunday morning tent shot. Got parts for water lines now, will set up today. A little clawing from drying out between neglegent hand watering. Good soak @ 50% fert to redisolve any salts. Need to set up other netting today too. Plants top left #6, bottom left #5, top right #2, bottom right #3.

Plan to dust some lowers of #2 tall girl, with a greener stemed Purp. Satellite from last run. No selection criteria, just 1 of 2 males pollen on hand in freezer. Might bring out a little more Oaxaca79Skull since greener stems on that male ? The #2 here seems to lean more mexican than other 3 shorter stockier bshw x ps. Just speculation on my part, still understanding the structures and growth patterns.
