Searchin for fire in some old school cool

Cruisin along

Progressing by the day.

GG4 is making a nice pre-flower canopy and starting to stretch a bit at day 7. MTF is just starting to set tops day 14.

Out of the original 17 seeds I started the journal with, 1 is a keeper. That’s still pretty good, compared to most.
I have my 2x2x4 tent set up for pollen collection upstairs, and plenty of small vials for freezer storage. I’m excited to start opening some better packs soon.

ACE CBD popped a male flower down below, but I didn’t see any pollen when I pulled it, so fingers are crossed. I’ve been checking her daily, but she’s big and it’s easy to miss stuff.

Saints Crossing is looking a little extra frosty on her leaves this run. I think she’s liking the extra light and stronger soil mix. Light meter says about 45-50k lux across her top.

GG4 has a great shape with no effort and has been a dream to grow. Robust plant, nice branching, and it’s basically trained itself after only being topped once. Her cut rooted and was transplanted yesterday.

MTF was overtrained. This pheno doesn’t like to stretch and I asked a lot from her this time around. She’s showing some early purple, like she either ate up all the P in the small pot, or is light stressed. She’s also getting hit a lot harder with the light this round and she’s not a fan of it. I dropped her about 6-8” yesterday and she’s happier and praying a little bit today.

I’m starting to harden off the peppers and tomatoes, so I can finally get my space back.

Added a 100 watt panel to cover the “empty space” in the middle of the tent. The plants are reaching out into the space and will probably appreciate the extra light.

No major updates, just some more pics as we continue along.

I started a jar of FPJ (fermented plant juice) with some comfrey and aloe. I planted comfrey last year and let it get established in a couple areas. I harvested some this morning before the sun came up (when the new shoots supposedly have the highest concentration of growth hormone) and mixed it with some fresh cut aloe vera leaves. I muddled that together with an equal amount of brown sugar by weight, and put it in a jar with an air-valve to let it ferment for a couple weeks. It’s a cheap experiment for the next round, and I hope to make more to use it outside in my veggie garden if it works.

ACE CBD is advertised as 50-60 days. We’re at day 50 for both the CBD and the Saints Crossing. CBD is getting close, maybe 1-2 weeks more. SC has about 3 weeks left. I dropped my tablet on the bottom right bud the other day, trying to take a picture. If it rots at the damaged parts, it will get chopped away and sacrificed. I’ll be watching it.

GG is at about day 22 and still stretching.

MTF is a mini-shrub. I’m just gonna have learn a hard lesson on this one, regarding overtraining and low-stretch phenos.

Merry Fishmas, plants get a treat of some fish-tank water today.
