12/12 over summer, Nepalese landrace regs plus Blimburn chemdog #4 fem

The 2tbsp of organic 3:1:3, 1/4 cup kelp meal and 2 cups worm castings per pot still holding up well so far. Day 42 or 43. I have some 8:12:16 back country bloom I plan on top dressing (2tsp) in roughly two weeks when flower is in full swing. Got these little packs for $1.50 each and they seem to have a decent ratio.

Day 46 from germ, 46 from flip lol. The Nepalese is Gunna have arms for colas by the looks of it. This branch below goes down another foot or so and is lined with sites all the way down. Looks like it's in its final days of stretch.

Kinda odd it doesn't really have alternating nodes.


The chemdog #4 is going well bar being tiny and me hooking a branch on the tent when I moved it out and it doubled over(as you can see by the line holding it up).

Frost starting on the Nepalese

Looking really good! Nice even canopy.

Thinking of doing a 12/12 tent myself for a couple runs.

Cheers. I'm quite surprised myself. Basically ran the same as all the autos I've grown, just chews less electricity and produces less heat which is good. Crazy though, it's been 31-33c for the last two weeks. Today hasn't gone over 19c.

Chemdog Day 50 since germ. Not a bad effort in the timeframe.

Nepalese starting to fill in

Going to be spears by the look of it. That cola above is the lowest node. Crazy how the lowest node has become the dominant node (top right corner). Has been tied down a few times, if not it would be a good 6" above the rest of the canopy which is untouched.

Around day 25 of flower. Chemdog moving quick. Nepali as about expected.
Chem

Nepali

Day 29 flower, 56 since germ.

Next run up and going. 2x Nepali left (day 4), a strawberry cough (day 13) top right and a freshly germinated chemdog #4 bottom right. The middle starter pot is a random bag seed I found in a drawer. Might pop, might not lol.

In a 2x2 and 180x170mm pots (2.8L, the orange one is 170x125mm). Will go in the 3x3 and 3 gallon pots in two weeks or so.

Another 12/12 from seed run. At 40k lux currently, will keep it there until flower stretch starts where I'll up to 55k lux like the current run.

If all goes well again, defo sticking to 12/12 runs instead of autos as I've got a few hundred Nepali seeds and 50 or so strawberry cough seeds.

But then again....I've got sour diesel autos and mandarin (clone of ice cool cross cream caramel) autos here that I'll run next, next run (getting ahead of myself) and see how they go at 12 hours. All for heat n electric savings over summer. It's 35c today, 38c tomorrow and 39 the day after. Any heat saving is a big bonus now.

Lights off always looks A1.

Some strains don't take well to 12/12 from seed. The two above did well, but the strawberry cough in the back corner below is only like two weeks old and it's pre flowering lol. The two Nepali on the left are at day 6 and the little Chem down the front is day 3.

Canopy nice and even bar one cola, and it's crazy that it's the lowest node that ended up the tallest..


The Chem sticky as shit

Crazy heat the last three days. Hit 39c in the tent a few times. The insane heat is wreaking havoc with the slow release and the Nepali is showing a bit of burn (the bag does have "not suitable for potted application where temperatures exceed 32c for prolonged periods" on it, so I was warned). I've dimmed the light down to an average of 750umol/s in an attempt to slow it's eating down as it's like 35% humidity as well. All in all terrible conditions lol.

Burn at its worst here

Chem maturing well and coping with the heat surprisingly.

Looking good though... and if that is a plant in bad conditions man you make me cry )

Cheers. Nah it's not too bad, just came on really quick with the 40c heat lately. A few days ago there was not a single blemish on any leaves. They have been drinking like mad, and considering the slow release breaks down quicker in 32c+ temps, and feeds every time you water, it's basically double feeding ATM.

It's currently 10pm and it's still 28.2 in the room. No rest for the wicked (it's impossible to sleep in).

Day 10 for the two Nepali. The dry heatwave getting to the margins a bit.

Gave the strawberry cough and chem to a mate who had his seeds seized at customs again for a third time in three months.

Thought I might cut a bit of time off his journey to make up for the bad luck.

Sour diesel auto went into a starter pot as well.

Seedlings moving well. At day 12 and pushing out 5th/6th node. Looks like the last few have popped out 6-7 nodes over the first two weeks.

Buds progressing slowly but surely.

Looks like this potting mix gets around 10 weeks on tap water before N starts to drop or lockout sets in. Bottom leaves have taken a little bit of a hit, but I'm also getting mild burn on the tips.

New growth is still good, If not a bit dark.


Ended up top dressing some more medium with some yucca powder and a bit of rock dust instead of feeding to combat fade on older leaves.

Babies at day 18 now. Topped one back to the 5th node and removed the bottom, insignificant nodes on both. Same schedule. 12/12 from seed. I assume stretch will be starting in the next week.

Another two "Nepali" seeds but from different seasons in the starter pots.
