Yesterday I tried a bit of lst/supercrop kind of stress which resulted in almost braking Rosetta but then with help of duct tape she's recovering.
In the period of less than 24 hours all three plants were topped. I'm doing a bit of mess this time, just curious how they can take such stress and all seems cool.
Also giving them different light intensity, ranging from total 90W to 150W during the day.
They respond well to all this and I think of 10-15 more days of veg and then hit 12/12 mode when they fill more the space.
This cycle I won't be counting days but I'll just follow the intuitive way and find the appropriate timings for transition and later harvest.

Lately I'm asking myself if it's time to switch or let them veg a bit more.
Still undecided but time is close, if I don't want to fill up the tent too much the flowering should start in few days, no more.
Here's the situation, two thirds of the tent:

Rosetta and Pangi


Left is Kolossus which developed in a very nice stocky plant with huge fan leaves.
I defoliated them a bit today and did a bit of pruning, not much just to clean the excess growth under the canopy.
Now I gotta re-check my first grow data to have a better judgment on veg time.
The flowering lady is the Durban Thai AF, one of my "just in case" trio of plants(all AFs with low priority).

Thanks for the updates Koondense. My last two plants are hanging now all others are curing. Peace

Looking beautiful my friend!Have you decided about the flip?
Could you take a picture of all of them together with next update?Thanks!

Time flies and today is the last day of "veg" photoperiod, actually I prefer a transition phase to flower so I give them two days of 14/10 and tomorrow will start 12/12.
The canopies filled the space very nicely, still under only 90-150W but with 12/12 there will be another row of lights for a total of around 200-300W(because of some dimming).

Plants look happy despite some slight yellow leaf tips, I suspect a pretty high EC.

Sadly Pangi got unintentionally topped again but the tops will become nice clones if all goes well. I have two more to-be-clones of Rosetta and gotta take some off the Kolossus. Still plenty of time to do it.

My one concern is watering, I only do it once per week as there is no sign of underwatering even when the soil looks dry. Probably the effect of bacto and mycos.

Awesome Koon! You're going to have a beautiful bud jungle in there very soon!

Very unique leafs on this Pangi...

Thanks for the great pics!

lush flowering is what can only supersede that lush vegging

May the plants hear and act accordingly to your thoughts and mine
Have a great weekend guys!

Few days of 12/12 and just spotted some hair formations on all three, they seem to be well coordinated

Nothing special so far apart a couple of gnat flies in the tent, I was expecting some so first thing tomorrow - yellow sticky tape FTW.

The situation:



Have a great weekend everyone

Yesterday I defoliated and pruned all three plants to get a more evenly spaced growth of tops. They all show pre-/flowers and seem still very healthy without any deficencies or whatever, so far I'm very happy with this growing method and products.
Pangi is more stretchy and more voluminous than the other two, clearly the most "sativa" despite pretty wide leaves in veg. It also seems she lost a bit of smell and despite being bigger now, she smells less now compared to two weeks ago. Looking very lovely to my eye with deep, lush greens and some purple reddish hues.

They're all now @day 11-12 of 12/12

Pangi


Rosetta(Durbakistan)


Rosetta is more compact sativa hybrid with bushy growth and very sturdy stems and leaves. Not so much stretch as anticipated, maybe more is coming in the next week.
The C99 BX1 is also female and pretty underfed and stressed in a small pot. I'm not sure if it's wise to keep her in because of possible hermaphrodism related to stress. But maybe there won't be problems, so let's give her a bit more time.
Kolossus is kolossal, huge fans and vigorous growth with less stretch, it could be a great cash cropper(bred with this in mind by S@nnie).
Both DurbanThai AFs look lovely, one is faster and the slower(higher grower) will likely get some pollen from another sativa AF, but don't tell anyone, I'm trying to keep this a secret

The pocket jungle at 11-12 days of 12/12
