my cali-o quest

day 15

it's update time - things are looking good at the moment
loving how this revegged plant is going into flower, much faster than as a seedling
it never did really stop showing female traits with the white pistils, looks like a benefit
took 10 weeks of flower the 1st time, at this pace 9 weeks should match the old results
which is very good, i'm on half medication from my last small harvest

The freebie cali-o f2's from HOL have arrived in the UK! There are also orange rhino f1's!

 

[NE1]

yeah, thats a really fine looking plant...i'll be following to see how it works out this 2nd time...

I'm quite a bit late, but congrats on the harvest. Reveg is looking good, I wonder about the effect on yield, she's more bushy now so maybe an increase? Hope so! Good luck.

 

[igrowone]

good to still have some following the mini grow, i'm getting very optimistic about yields
this may have been a plant that would have responded well to topping, i think i'm on track to double my previous run, just like CB mentioned

day 22

day 22

3 weeks, definitely maturing a lot quicker this time
the 1st time through, the fans began to lose color at this point in bud development
hmm, thought the extra slow release nitrogen(MG Organic Bone meal 6-9-0) in the soil mix would change this
could be i'm still not giving this girl all the nitrogen she wants
but i suspect she would like a larger pot than 2 gallons, she needed a root pruning to reveg properly
some plants seem very demanding on container size

day 29

day 29

4 weeks of the 12/12 - good bud growth
fans loosing color quick, similar to 1st run in the flower cycle
i'm happy with the progress, but more convinced she could have been fed heavier, or something
always trying to tune my game, maybe a touch of some blood meal in the brew would add the bit of 'extra'

edit: this is what's good about keeping these logs, memory and reality just ain't the same
color is more drained this time, now that i went back and looked at the 1st run
on the other hand, there is more foliage this time, and it looks like she's sucking fumes a little
the 1/2 gallon of water, 1 teaspoon on 6-9-0 MG bone meal, and 1 teaspoon of molasses is not just enough
well, they will be well flushed buds by the end

seems it's time for another inspection of the girl
thumbs up, getting some color to the buds, and some weight
pistils turn on this pheno pretty early, but i learned that from the 1st go round
i love this point in the grow, stretch has slowed to a crawl, no cfl's adjustments needed
just water/feed and let her grow

 

[blackosprey]

looks good.

flower - day 43

looks good.

thank you, hope it looks even better in the last weeks
6 weeks flower, signs positive
still thinking a 9 week cut
color loss in the fans may not be all that far ahead of last run
might not be as underfed as i thought, buds fattening all over

 

[Tatz]

Looking gr8 !

 

[old boy]

Bella signorina..

 

[igrowone]

thanks for the views and hopeful remarks
been reflecting on my grow technique, and plant is looking pretty good
but next grow more feed will be used, plenty of room for some more organic nitrogen
time to put that sack of alfalfa pellets to work

 

[#1cheesebuds]

she is still looking good. cant wate to see the end product.

time already for another pic and update? time does fly along
7 weeks, fans are going fast, but bug buds are taking their place
calling this the 2 weeks stretch run, plan to cut at 9 weeks

 

[igrowone]

week 8

week 8

8 weeks, i'd say time flies but way too low on medical supplies
1 more week is still the plan, quick trich check showed all clear
it had a quick transition to cloudy last time, expect it will be the same this time
pretty much nitrogen depleted in the leaves, i underfed her
oh well, grow and learn

 

[igrowone]

9 weeks

9 weeks

i had convinced myself i'd chop her today
trichome check and reality check, those pesky trichs didn't mature that quick
interesting, the reveg definitely produced a faster flowering plant
but the trichomes appear to be pacing the first run
what the hell, weight continues to pack on, all my problems should be so bad

 

[igrowone]

cut and weigh

cut and weigh

been vaping on the popcorn for a few days
no more procrastinating, time to cut, and so i did
pics from the side, and the final 'bud on a board' shot with my usual beer can
the weigh in says it will be around 22g, my gut feel is it's a little more than that
it should give 2 1 quart curing jars full, see how the drying goes

time for a little reflection on the traits here, i will give this strain some serious value for depression/anxiety
there is no anxiety present in this breed, at least not for me
some other indica hybrids i've run were also anxiety useful, but would leave me in a daze during the daytime
which wasn't so useful, i need to function by day, as many of us do
good medicine, but this pheno was a fair yielder at best, but i'll take better medicine given the choice
