G&M Herijuana x Blueberry/Chem Dawg SR x Nanda Devi

[oldfogey8]

My plants are loving the Jack’s nutes. Very dark green fans. No pH’ing. I am going to back off feeding them a bit. 1/2 tsp/gallon might be a little hot for plants in relatively fresh soil. My house plants are really digging it too. I have a Dwarf Calla Lily the is going bananas…

5 weeks I think…

Did some tying down as these are getting unruly. I am thinking my original plan of being able to sex them before going to 3 gallon pots ain’t gonna happen. No good candidates to take a cutting from at this point. Hoping eight 3 gallon felts will fit in the tent. All the Heri x BB’s on the left, CDSR x ND on the right. Two totally different structures for sure.

The ChemDawg Nanny is really stretching(and not even in flower yet(uh oh). I opted to top the four quaded branches to encourage node growth. I am not sure that is ok to do in quadlining but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. All 7 plants are draining like a sailor(sorry subbie). Fed them yesterday. Pots were heavy. All light today. I will be up-potting soon. Note to self-quadlining is probably a better idea when you have fewer plants or a bigger tent or both. I am running into a timing issue too as I will be out of town for 10-11 days at the beginning of April. I may need to flip to flower next week…

some healthy looking plants there Brother….you gonna be flipping them soon?

I am. Gotta up-pot them probably tomorrow then give them a week or so to acclimate. Up against a time constraint because my wife needs a bucket list vacation that is scheduled for the first week and a half of April. I wish se had told me earlier. Meh. It will be fun.

 

[oldfogey8]

Up-potted. Roots were ready for new soil.

CDSRxND

Heri x Berry

It is crowded. Hoping for a couple males so I can cull them…

 

[oldfogey8]

Didn’t have the time to tie the plants back down in their new pots yesterday. When I got around to it today, they had sprung back like I had never tied them down. The added soil has upped the humidity in the tent pretty well. Currently at 56%. Haven’t been able to get it above 35% before repotting.

Going to put my LED’s(sh!tty blurples with a COB in the middle) tomorrow and flip to 12/12. That leaves about 8 and a half weeks to vacation. Bummer…

 

[oldfogey8]

Flipped to flower. Going to leave the T5’s in the tent for about a week(I think). The blueish lighting seems to minimize stretching and the CDSRxND is going to need that. The Heri-Berry is short and squat like Gimli so very little concern about them stretching much. The CDSRxND has alternating nodes so it is mature enough to flower. Hopefully the Heri-Berry catches up…

I am soaking some seeds to grow in my new 2x4 tent(I think Santa is bringing me one based on the box my wife tried to hide).

G&M Herijuana x Blueberry(4 seeds)

and

Chem Dawg SR x Nanda Devi(3 seeds)

The G&M seeds are from a member here and the CDSR x Nanda Devi seeds are from a local friend. Been meaning to grow the Nanda Devi for a while. The buds my friend gave me were ugly to say the least but the buzz was psychedelic. Nanda Devi is a region in the Indian Himalayas and they grow stringy landrace plants there. I know 7 plants will not fit in my 2x4 but we will see how they progress and culling will happen. I may make some seeds again but that is a work in progress.

They will go in some one cup containers with Roots Organic Green Lite soil. I plan on using AN pH perfect nutes and assorted other stuff. I have some older blurple LEDs that I will be using. Not what I want to have but I have them so I will power thru.

I feel like growing at this point. I chose the Herijuana x Blueberry a)because they are G&M seeds and b)they are indica dominant. The CDSR x Nanda Devi will likely be pretty racy which I don’t care for but I am interested to see if the landrace thing shows thru. The ND was the male in the cross. This is what the buds look like.

Man this called wild beauty!!!

Man this called wild beauty!!!

I am interested to see if I get any of that expression in the cross. They sure are leggy but supposedly the CDSR is pretty unruly and needs to be tied up too. It wasn’t the brightest idea to grow a heavy indica with a potentially leggy plant but I am not the brightest LED in the box…

The struggle/stretch is real.

CDSRxND is really lanky:

The Heri-Berry is not:

 

[oldfogey8]

I am thinking my quadlining attempt is failing. Too crowded to do it properly. I BBC will probably do some defoliation of the Heri-Berry tonight when the lights come back on to get some light on the lower nodes and some airflow. Temp in the tent with lights out was 59! Yikes. I put a space heater next to the fresh air duct. Had it set at 65 but was bothered that it was running constantly so I lowered it to 60. Back to 65 after figuring being a cheap old bastid wasn’t good for the plants. Will check the temp w

 

[oldfogey8]

Just thinking here. Maybe all the CDSRxND’s are male. That would kinda suck but they sure are lanky like males…

 

[oldfogey8]

Defoliated a bit on 2 Heri-Berry plants. The 2 I defoliated have not started to stretch. The other 2 are stretching out. Thinking those are males. Top-male? Bottom-female?

Tied the Chem-Devi’s up a lot. Some of the nodes have grown a couple inches in height since lights on.

 

[oldfogey8]

Swapped out the T5’s for the blurples last night. Lights on temp is now 78. The canopy is a mess. Hoping to see some indications of sex soon. I need space.

 

[oldfogey8]

Looks like I have at least one male CDSR x ND. Once I verify that, he will be quarantined(to collect pollen)because being a ‘collector’, I would like to have some more seeds since I used up what I had. The Heri-Berry plants are not showing me squat yet.

Male?

Female?

[oldfogey8]

He is out!

 

[oldfogey8]

Looks like 6 females and one male out of 7 seeds popped. I don’t know if I have room for 6 but 6 it is…
