Today, February 1st, is day one of the flowering cycle. The grow tent is 4x4x7, with a 1000 watt HPS and a 4'' inline duct fan. The light is on a timer and set for 12 hours of darkness and 12 'daylight' hours. During the daylight hours the tent will remain open for added ventilation.
The tent was tested with a high/low digital thermometer and humidity monitor for 24 hours. The low temperature was 67 F, and the high was 83 when the light was on and the tent closed. With the tent open, lights on, the high is 77 and the low is 73. Humidity is stable around 25%.
Destroyer: This is the queen of all my plants (24 total). Destroyer is a 100% sativa hybrid of mexican/colombian and thai. Flowering time is said to be around ten weeks. She was planted from a feminized pick-n-mix seed and germinated at the beginning of december. She is 60 days old, +/- a day. She was started in a one galon container in foxfarm ocean forest potting soil, and was fertilized med/lightly with foxfarm growbig, homemade compost tea, and fish emulsion 5-1-1 for the past three weeks prior to flowering. I added two cups of homemade biochar to the potting mix, and mixed in granite dust at 1/2 cup/galon. The destroyer was the champion from the start. She germinated first, beating all other seeds by at least 12 hours. In veg, internodes were perfectly uniform, and growth was rapid and vigorous. Leaf structure was very sativa, but growth structure was (and is) compact and totally without stretch in veg. She showed preflowers after 28 days. Although Cannabiogen recommended light feeding, she seemed to be able to take as much as any other plant, and always recovered from stress (repotting, etc) rapidly.
Caribe: The caribe was the second strongest grower in the group. It is a backcross of Jamaican '85 with Jamaican '85 x (Northern Lights x Haze). Leaf structure in the beginning was VERY indica, more so even than my Reserva Privada OG Kush or other Indica dominant strains. This resolved itself over time and now the leaves are fat, hybrid-esque and deep green. This girl has a mutation that produces an even number of leaf blades on every fifth leaf, 10 instead of the usual 9, and the extra blade protrudes from the center of the leaf over the central blade. Ill try to get a pic of this later. Same soil and conditions as the Destroyer.
Female Seeds C99: Roughly average grower in the group, but very vigorous and healthy with no deficiencies. I LSTed her as soon as she showed sex (~a month). She was supple and very responsive. Same conditions and nutrient regimen as the other two. Nice sativa leaves, lots of branching in response to LST, and average growth rate in veg.
