Day 17 from 12/12

Might still have a phosphorus deficiency or an excess of calcium blocking phosphorus and boron. I used water laced with lime last week to add calcium and magnesium might have been too much with my tap water. Could just be a burn I didn’t notice before, shit idk. Just noticed it yesterday I remade my reflectors because I wasn’t happy with the direction of the y adapters that has leds.

I shouldn’t have salt buildup yet considering doing a flush in next week or two to ensure I don’t have to worry about it.

Otherwise she is chugging along nicely nearing 29” today

Day 22 flower

She seems to have stopped stretching finally at 31”. Due for a feeding today and I want to flush salts out so I’m running 2 gallons water through followed by a gallon of nutes. Running air stone in the water for an hour or two for shits maybe it will help not drown her roots

Edit: she looking real happy 8 hours after flush, guess aerating the water first was a good call.

Buds are forming nicely and all over. Scheduled power outage for maintenance for 4 hours tomorrow night hoping the temps don’t drop too low.

Day 28 flower

Noticed the tiniest little flower looking type thing two days ago plucked it off and sure enough it had pollen in it, from stress most likely temp swings or something. It was really small maybe a touch smaller than a BB, no signs of more and no nanners to be found. Today was the first day I got to inspect her good, guess I’ll find out later how fucked I am.

Other than that she is doing good, top bud is almost touching the ceiling will have to drop her down a few inches soon.
Cut back on grow big to half strength for the next couple weeks.

Switched my feed schedule a bit doing half strength bloom feed/feed/water for the next week then will see if I’m ready to start plain water. Did another flush for salts last Friday.

Decided to chop a few days early, temps are too high in attic even without sunshine. With the lights off it should stay comfortable. Got a lot more than expected at any rate no doubt thanks to @Natethenewb and @H.A.F. convincing me to go fabric.

Good haul from typical leds and cfls to say the least. Sampled a few lower buds last week were a few seeds but not terrible, I’d say about 50% of bottom buds have a seed or two. Doesn’t look like any of the top buds have them but... bet there’s a few.

Ended up with about 3oz dried for 5 days, now it’s curing.

I've been buying fem seeds, so I have only found one immature seed out of about 10 grows. If I find a strain that I like well enough, I was thinking about buying reggies and growing my own seeds just once.

But I don't have the ability to grow 100 seeds before they go bad, and I like the variety too much to grow pounds and pounds of the same strain. I am leaning more towards just growing any I find and leaving it at that. I have stash now, and am able to let my plants "go long" into flower. It might give me more possibility of finding a bean or 2.

If it hermied, it was probably "user error" ;) and with each grow you'll get better. So I think the chance of seeds you find being viable are good. I don't think a stress-induced herm is going to be a transferred trait.
