Purple Haze x Honduras

I feel like I'm post-whoring a bit here folks but I'm doing my best to keep a detailed log of this grow for Dubi, myself, and anyone else interested in this cross.

It's been 48 hours now since the plants received their first feeding. They seem to have responded quite well. Yesterday they were given nothing but PH'd water, and today they'll be getting another light dose of nutrients. Plants look a little yellow under the lights, but they're still a beautiful emerald green when not directly under the lights.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]PH: 5.7
PH: Runoff: 5.9
Temps: 25.5c/78f
Light Cycle: 18/6
Light Source: T5 8 Bulbs
Nutrients: 1/4 Strength (EOD between PH'd Watering)
Age: 8 days from seed

by the looks of things you are off to an excellent start. they look perfect! even the little one.

Thanks! I'm excited to see how they turn out. :tiphat:

Topped 4/5 of the little ones. The runt of the litter needs another set before I top it.

Feeding again tonight. 1/4 strength, 5.7 PH, 5.9 Runoff, 280 PPM, 0.4 EC. I'll update when there is something to show folks. :huggg:

Adorable! I love watching the youngins grow up. Thank you for stopping by I really appreciate it.

You jinxed me! Totally kidding brother, thanks for stopping by!

Folks, all is well with the little ones, but I did run into a small nitrogen + cal/mag deficiency. I was being paranoid about over feeding, so I dialed the nutrients back to 1/8th dose every other day and almost overnight they decided they didn't like that. I'm a dummy... As of today, they're going back up to a 1/4 dose of nutrients + cal/mag. I believe they're old enough to receive 1/4 strength daily now in coco. I'll try it out and see how they respond. I added the pics of the cal/mag deficiency on here.

Second thing; plants have been transferred from their tiny containers into 7.5 L (2 Gallon) containers. This will most likely be their final containers. I'm going to give them a few days to let them adjust and see how they do with 1/4 strength feedings then they're off to flower. I can't risk letting these deceptive little monsters get much bigger.

Third thing; my other ongoing grow (BOG seeds -- see sig if interested) just went into a new tent and I hooked up my exhaust. Grow room temps dropped from 25.5c/78f to 22.2c/72f. Not a big deal but I'm getting this log detailed.

Nice root porn! Don't get enough of it since I stopped DWC. Hope I didn't jinx you;) My girls looked like crap around two weeks from seed, bounced back to full health in about a week after repot. :dance013:

Hey dude, happy to hear little ones are good!

I got the green haze Honduras going. I think the Honduras helps the haze genes to tolerate some nutrient levels my other haze varietys don't like as much. The Hz x hond did get a bit stretchy in the initial flower flip. If I was doing it again, I'd cut the nitrogen back a smidge. I normally like to give a little nitrogen kick during their initial growth spurt to give support to the developing structure. I'd dial back the N intensity next time. Those are my shared notes for what id do, but I did observe these are not super sensitive to over feeding like i might have thought. Honduras are known to be lanky.

Hey good luck with the grow sir :)

Hey DWD! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad to hear your plants bounced back. I'm hoping these little ones do the same. I'm giving them a few days to let their roots do some exploring then they're getting tossed into my flower tent.

Welcome! Thanks for stopping in.

Ncali, I can't believe I didn't see your current grow until today! Insane work my friend.

The Honduras definitely seems to be more tolerate to nutrients which is a good thing; thanks for mentioning that because it's going to be very helpful going into flower. I'll make sure they have some N, but I'll follow your advice and keep the N a bit lower through stretch.

-----------------------

Because these strains can take such a long time to flower (correct me if I'm wrong please, but p haze is a phenotype of oldtimer's haze I believe -- 16-20 weeker), I'm hoping to get cut some of the lower branches for cloning post stretch. At this stage I don't know enough about breeding to really make decent seeds, but I'd like to retain at least a few cuttings off the females to see what I end up getting.

I just got more beans from the Dubinator yesterday -- Malawi, Zamaldelica, Ethiopian, and OT Haze (Thanks Dubi! :huggg:) so I've definitely got some fun stuff in the works. I've also got some Mangobiche and Green Haze laying around that I'd like to play with so I'm not sure what I'd like to run next. I'm going to wait until my BOG genetics finish flowering before I pop any more sativa beans so I can have some space for Dubi's monsters to flower. :laughing:

Cheers all,

Kas

Starting flower today. Seeing roots shoot out of containers now so they’ve adjusted post transplant. Feeding 1:4 strength every day now and they seem to like this.

11/13 under 600w HPS. I might swap to 1000w after 6-8 weeks depending on how they’re developing.

I’ll update when there is something to show guys. I’m sweating the stretch but still excited to see what these monsters do in the next couple weeks. Once I see preflowers I’ll be removing males.

They’re stuffed in with some indy dom hybrids. They’ll have a lot more space soon. I haven’t sexed the hybrids yet so I’m expecting to remove a few of the larger plants from the tent. Worst case I’ll add a new tent for them.

Hi Kaskadian :)

Thank you very much for supporting our work again, i'm glad you are expanding your sativa family :huggg: The sativas seedlings are indeed super cute!

As you are experiencing, these kind of tropical pure sativas need very little feeding in the seedling stage, usually they are fine in their first weeks of life with the nutrients of a good soil.
They should explode now after the transplant ;) That's what they need if you want them large: space, light intensity and uniform warm temps.

Thanks for your update!

Thanks for dropping in Dubi! Your feedback is always appreciated.

I’m hoping I didn’t shoot myself in the foot by transplanting them. Coco can be funny stuff — I’ve found it hard for plants to become truly rootbound with daily watering. They seem happy enough though. I’m hoping running them under 11/13 helps reduce the stretch a bit but I’m still expecting monsters. I have about 200 cm of height to play with. This run will help determine how long I veg (if at all) for future grows in coco.

Post transplanting I’m giving them a day without watering once in a while. Soon they’ll be back to daily watering and during flower perhaps 2-3x a day depending on how they respond.

Keeping PH between 5.5-6.0 usually in the 5.6-5.8 range. Runoff is typically 5.7-5.8. Temps steady at 22c.

Cheers all
