A little late in the grow, but here we go! Will probably update on a random schedule, because thats just how I roll.
Started growing about a year ago when the world started to blow up, and was immediately hooked. After a cabinet grow in which I acted as though humidity wasn't even a thing, and an outside grow that gave me an 11 foot tall monolith (and a big gash when I slipped off the raised bed and took out two other plants), I'm turning my attention to...the Scrog. I give you: Riddle Me This! *comments, suggestions, questions are all welcome!*
This is this morning, day two of flower:
Setup:
4x4x6.5 Tent
640W Samsung F-Series Strip Build w/ 2 x 54W Arcadia 14% UVB T5
4 x 15Gal Fabric Pots
Organic Super Soil w/ coco and perlite, Alfalfa hay mulch
Super hard water, Fish Hydrolysate, Kelp Goo, and Molasses
Strain:
Short story:
Mystery Bag seed -> really good weed -> clones -> neglect -> clones -> here.
Long Story:
Let me tell you a long story. A friend of ours worked for a MOM service, and happened to find a seed while bagging orders. She gave it to me, but had no idea what it was ("Mayyyybe Fire OG"). So I pop the seed indoors, and add it to the army of bag seeds that I germinated:
Each plant was grown out to about 5 nodes, topped, and the top was cloned. Each clone was forced into flower to tell me the ladies from the boys, and I kept the best looking clones from each strain with the idea of using them as mothers. Low and behold, its a girl. I named it "Riddler" for obvious reasons. Super squat indica for sure, smelled nice and dank (earthy? what exactly is dankness?) while it was growing. Harvest time comes, and I start doing a little bit of sampling from everything that I grew that year, and this stuff makes my face! Good thing I saved a mother, right?
Well, being a novice grower, I had the mother under the full 640W power of my F-Series Deathstar to aid in reversing flower. That worked, but the clone grew like a bush - branching everywhere. I moved it to a shelf under 60 watts of LED T5s (spread over 3 feet to boot) to clear out the tent, and of course it started to flower again...and die, because I still didn't have a handle on humidity, and my watering practices sucked hard. After a while, I made a last ditch attempt at salvaging what I could, and cut off 8 clones. 6 rooted, and I took 4 for this project, and two as keepers. One of those is dead. We don't talk about her.
My good lord did those clones branch. This is a bad picture of the underside of my canopy before I started cleaning it up this morning:
I have done nothing but using the trellis to keep the tops flat. It completely filled out on its own. I've heard this is called a "Branching Monster"?
Anyway, now we are here. I started taking cuttings this morning, and will be auditioning them to find new mothers that will hopefully be pressed into perpetual in another 8-10 weeks. Updates soon! (Yes, I'm trying to root mint in my clone dome).
