Double Grape

KingAxle I always dim my light about 50% and up it slowly over the next few weeks.

KingAxle —

KingAxle Got them settled in with the oscillating fan and dialing up the nutrients gradually. Will LST the one in the back to even out the canopy if she keeps growing faster than her siblings. Overall happy with nutrient line and Happy Frog OF not disappointing. Not sure about the Fish Head Farms just yet. Seeing white fuzz on your grow pot takes some getting used to.

KingAxle Heater was off and they were in distress for a few days at the beginning. Defoliated after they bounced back from that and got all the lower growth and several leaves from the canopy. This strain can take a big feed without nutrient burn and responded well to the first bloom nutes.

KingAxle Caught them during prayer time. Sometimes, I feel like I'm interrupting them while they are doing something! Going to carefully thin the canopy this week to open up the bud sites. Don't want to slow the momentum of the buds fattening. They seemed not to notice removal of leaves from the bottom. Very sturdy strain so far and easy to grow.

KingAxle Looks like they show signs of nutrient burn doing 1/2 tsp or more of complete crop. Each strain seems to differ in how much before the tips start to show burn. I'll stick to 3/8 tsp for the remainder of the grow and use the 1/8 tsp flower fuel as I have always had good results with that amount. Seems like the canopy is evening out now and I can raise the light without leaving any plants to suffer. They are dropping/I am pruning their bottom leaves every few days and seem to be adjusting to the space well. High hopes for this harvest.

KingAxle Fighting the urge to trim into the canopy to get more light to the lower bud sites. At the end of the day these are living things and spending their whole life in pain kind of sucks! Maybe happy plants will yield more? These existential questions cross my mind and I put the pruning scissors away. The very next day - After watching some defoliation videos one starts to feel like an absentee parent by not chopping some leaves. I gave each one a good look over and removed any leaves it was letting go (and only a few more that were blocking bud sites in the canopy. Had to do some more LST. This time on the most underdeveloped one. Took this opportunity to rotate her so the underdeveloped buds will be directly under the light at top of the canopy after she bends that way.

KingAxle Seems like they might need another week or so. It's water on day 1 nutes on day 2 and a dry day. Will switch to just water when it looks like they are about a week away.

KingAxle Last week seemed to fill them out. The shortest looks ready now, the lighter green pheno finishing out and the one in the front is still playing catch up. They are just getting water this week and you know what that means! Lots of frost on those leaves should make for some decent hash from the trimmings. Waste not want not!

KingAxle Smaller plants than I am used to. Unbelievable amount of bud sites. Got a handful of different phenotypes with one that particularly demonstrated the extra greasiness everyone talks about. Very dense nugs with a piney sweet scent and subtle grape notes. Would probably use 3gal bags on a next run.
