Diary Run #7: ICMag O-Haze

[flylowgethigh]

I have a worry now - what if they are ALLfemales? Pistal hairs coming off nodes, NO balls. Yet. What are the chances 6 of 6 are fems? I had all of one run come up males before.

you can always reveg after harvest, get some new seeds, and catch the seed run (reg or fems) on the next round

 

[flower~power]

JC is in da house!

 

[flower~power]

I read somewhere that small containers when roots are cramped in a higher nitrogen feed will promote more males ? I don’t know if it’s true or not?

 

[flylowgethigh]

Could having the VPD dryer in veg make females more likely? I swear every node is growing hairs. Damn luck, I am looking for a male or two, and can only fit 2 females in the sativa tent to flower out. The light in there is already up over 6’ high. Can’t net cause still need to move the bags. They are at 10.5 hours ON, 480 watts / 600 umoles, 1,2 VPD.

They have another week or so to straighten their shit out. After that the big tent is gonna be used for vegging and sexing the Cindy. I’ll put the best two OHz girls under nets, and make a sea of sativa.

 

[flylowgethigh]

No balls, no pollen. I may have 6 female plants.

They get bushier in the big tent with the shared water system. They must talk between the roots.

Sativa tent where the two best girls will go.

Borrowing the big tent to sex.

 

[flylowgethigh]

Maybe… are those balls?

 

[flylowgethigh]

Another look at that same plant. They are entering the 5th week of flower.

Male? Edit… yeah we have a male. Maybe two. Going to have to decide soon which females to keep and flower, which to destroy.

 

[flylowgethigh]

Moved the 2 suspected females into the sativa tent with the two that were in there already. Still10.5 hours ON. I will have to down-select to only two plants. Then I can net them into some kind of canopy for the flat light.



And left the suspected male, and the shorty who is still TBD, in the big tent. Dropped the hours on the male tent to 10 ON. When the boys are making pollen I will move him (them if the other is a male, or any of the 4 make balls) to where the Cindy’s are vegging, and the Cindy’s to the big tent

 

[olday]

Maybe take clones of the non-selected females to give them a go at a later date?

 

[RyanR]

Yeah clone and redo. Hopefully you will get something that smells like incense and catpiss.

 

[flylowgethigh]

Should, but I don’t do clones. Can’t sell them. I may have a home for the two un-needed females. The dude I give my overflow plants to is finally setting up a 4x4 tent I gave him.

So far … One of the females has a nice tropical smell. The others favor cat piss when I rub the stem.

All this plant moving is possible because of using 10 gallon bags on a wick bed. It is a very practical system for how I do this.

Next in this tent is gonna be the SKOHLP. I got a couple buds off the female SKOHLPs that dude has managed to keep alive all summer after their photoperiod shock. They were badly abused and held up well. The stalk is about 1.5 inch diameter, in 10 gallon bags of my soil. I think the strain has potential after we vaped some freshly cut buds. There is a slight variation in the pistals and smell. Yup, next sativa run already booked.

 

[flylowgethigh]

The male:

 

[flylowgethigh]

I am going to have to choose the two keeper females soon. I hate playing gawd and deciding which ones live. They are kinda big to be moved, even if they had a place to go. They don’t.








I have an idea… how do we set up a poll? I can line them up and let ICMag vote the ones off the island. Ease my conscience…

 

[flylowgethigh]

Decisions, decisions. I can’t see any difference to choose upon.





So I kept the two with the best split from the pinch.

 

[flylowgethigh]

The fuckin guilt for having to destroy these ‘Japanese bamboo’ as I had to call them today. Beautiful plants.

 

[flylowgethigh]

Moved the males. One has a pretty good smell. I hated chopping those two Gorgeous girls.

 

[flower~power]

I am excited for you …pure original Haze has the best effect!

 

[flylowgethigh]

Thanks JohnnyChicago and Mr. Flower for this opportunity. The girls are settling in to the new way of growing -under a net (or two).

 

[flylowgethigh]

The net system works for my set-up. I want max stretch now, and will use another net layer to further refine the sea of sativa. Lower buds are where pollen will go. This time I will make tags and tag the branches that get hit.
