wow the summer heat finally hit and been holding in the 30 to 35C range.
Installed some mods to the greenhouse to give myself space to light dep the big plants. That is working perfectly. I installed 6 inch aluminum ducting in the ceiling running the full length of the the greenhouse. Hooked up an inline 450cfm and that is working awesome to keep good airflow. I need another oscilating fan so will work on adding that. Plants are loving the weather right now and taking off.
Everything is flowering except for 2 plants in 18gallon totes and the two plants in the holes in the ground. I am a week behind schedule for flipping those but I think the extra week really set them up nicely for the flowering weeks ahead.
Some crappy news. 8 plants decided to hermie out on me so they have been culled. They were seeds from pollen chucks i had high hopes for. Odd thing is the other people that have grown these same seeds have not had any problems. I am thinking they do not like the stresses I have been making them endure and the crazy weather swings we have had her with temps 12C and 5C over night and then 35C the next day and 12C over night.
anyhow, culling 8 plants at week 3 frees up some space for more sunlight penetration and more airflow so whatever.
In reality it is a potential 1/2 to 3/4 pound I will not be harvesting of my 6 pound season goal.
anyhow, just gotta load up some pics to my gallery and I'll post up some pics.
oh and speaking of pollen chucks..... I found a simply stunning example of a Long Valley Royal #7(emerald mnt) with the strong lavender fuel smell when you rub off some of her sugar leaf trichomes. I had to hit her with the pollen I collected last year from a stunner male. Also had to hit a couple lower branches with Biker Kush V1 (karma) pollen...... just had to ya know? hehehe
The other pollen chuck i did was on a short fat extremely frosty (week4) and highly odiferous Purple Lazerlite (antenna) ..... hit her with the long valley royal pollen and the biker V1 pollen.
I was excilted when I saw withdrawn pistils today when i pulled them from thier separate pollinating boxes and sprayed them down.
