The Great and Secret Garden of Ganja Ged - Indoor-Ebb&Flow-LED-2 Tent Perpetual

Can't wait for this feeling. Congratulations

[GanjaGed]

It's just so satisfying to reach into the jar, pull out enough bud for a week or so, grind it up, load the bong and enjoy a nice big hit of self-grown cannabis. My stash jar was empty and now it's full again, I didn't have to make a call, wait for the right time, wonder if the weight was right or if quality would be available this time, drive anywhere, nothing. A walk to the closet, select the current "feed" jar, burp the longer curing jars, and a full stash jar and a happy man!

I really wish Jeanette could be here for this, she'd be so happy. But she can smell it and she knows and she's smiling, ready for the next circle.

[GanjaGed]

Right?



The pairings are very clear. Northern Light and Wonder Woman are similar enough to run together, then, Candida and White Widow.

The Wonder Woman is a monster and wants nor needs a companion strain in the tent lol. I can't wait to run her in a ScrOG where I can start early training. So far it's an awesome strain to grow imo.

The NL seems more suited to SOG, type growing so far to me, but similar enough in structure and growth to run with the Wonders pretty easily if wanted.

The Candida is an Indica pheno and small. She's growing well though and will be able to hold her own with the others I think for this grow. She should thrive under topping and LST. Low and wide.

Hard to say much for the Widows but as far as structure they're identical to the Candida, typical Indica. If they were growing they'd be beautiful plants. So I'm very hopeful for the strain, just not sure these plants can make it this grow.

I think if this was a 2 strain grow with Candida and Widow I'd take them to flower just to see, but in this grow I suspect the Wonders are going to go apeshit and try to take over the tent and just choke out anything not able to hold their own. It's all part of the trouble growing multiple strains at one time esp. when not familiar with them and new to growing to boot.

Yea, overcrowded tent, at best stunted and far behind, I'd have to hold back plants that are going to yield to keep light on plants that might yield, more downside than up, out they go.

See OJH, you talked me right out of keeping them Nah, I had decided this morning after sleeping on it. TY for the reply, the "what if" is just so intriguing and I was really cheering for the runt, Widow #2.

[oldjarhead100]

I dont think they will catch up in a week GG but I had a w.w. supposedly auto that was small and when all was said and done it produced close to 1/2 lb

[GanjaGed]

Also added 12ml Grow to res. to up ppm and drop PH a bit. PH at 6 and ppm 1120, it's running nice and stable with a slow up trend, love it

[GanjaGed]

Well here's the "then and "now"



Immediately after training. Widows are in the right side tray, front and back. Candida is back/left.




5 days later. You can see the widows are stalled The Candida recovered nicely, hell look at the Wonder Woman on the left that's the one with the split main stem, lol.

Anyone have a reason I shouldn't open up that space for the ones growing? I'm looking to flip to flower soon, anyone think they can catch up in a week or two? I think twins are just usually bad news, they seem to go wrong way more than right, though these are my first ones so....

Sigh decisions decisions.

[D.A.A.S.69]

I'm sure you have already sweet talked them , try talking Dirty to them one time Ganj, maybe that's what they want

[GanjaGed]

I have this sinking feeling that both White Widows are lost causes...

They're just not growing well. they're just stalled out. It still might be from the training but I don't think so. All the other plants are recovered and doing their thing. Even the Candida, the other heavy Indica pheno, while smaller than the hybrids is perky and going good. Sure she's smaller and growing different but that difference is clearly a strain/variety difference. And Widow is not known to take poorly to training.

It's a hard decision on what to do though, the Widows look great, nice and green, full foliage etc. They look beautiful, just not growing.

So to keep them going knowing that even if they come out of it, they'll be so far behind, they'll suffer from lack of light or pull them, try Widow another time and let the 2 Wonder Woman plants use that freed space which they'd use easily.

Knowing that these both came from the same seed as twins and most of the time I've read about twins they seem to have problems, I think it's just bad luck on the seed I sprouted and I should cut them instead of feeding, lighting, and giving space to something very likely to be unproductive.

We aim to please

[GanjaGed]

Thanks OJH!

Now your grow room, that's nice

[Tazard]

Yes it's 80/20 sativa I was good till they passed 3' lol

[GanjaGed]

Isn't the A.D. a mostly sativa?

I stick with short to medium hybrids or indicas. But even then, I wouldn't have been prepared for a stretch of 7-8x lol, that's crazy.

Mostly I just run a combination of Topping, LST, Manifolding. Now that I'm set up I'm going to switch to ScrOG to try and have a more uniform and repeatable grow and yield.

If I run into something like that, I guess I'm gonna get a lot of practice on my Super-Cropping skills, lol. Or open the side doors, grow her horizontal into the other tent.... Oh I don't even want to picture the problems.

[Tazard]

Hmm could it be that when they grew up to the 100k lux level I kept raising the light? Should I have left them in the 100k range?

[Tazard]

I'm little confused. I flowered my Acid Dough at 3 weeks veg she was 8" tall with 7 nice tops. I was expecting a 24" or less plant. I have a 52" tall monster. What do you do I didn't?

[GanjaGed]

Quiet couple days letting the girls recover from training day.

Everyone has bounced back really well.

Wonder Woman #1 is all facing up and showing no signs of stress from the main stem split. I'll let that stay wrapped for about 2 weeks with an occasional H2O2 spray, then see where she's at.

White Widow #1 and #2 - I'm really not happy with their rate of growth. I'm not sure if it's the strain or a product of these being twins from the same seed. They're a bit "pulled down" almost like over watered but not, they seem, stunted to me. Temper that with these are the first heavy indica phenos I've grown so I understand that there will be differences. I'll keep an eye on them, but I'm toying with the idea of keeping them in veg when the others go to flower.

Candida - The other heavy indica pheno. She grows different, like the Widows, but better, more vigorous. Still shorter than the Wonders and Northern, but not in a concerning way.

Every one else is in good shape too.

The pairings are very clear and distinct, Candida and White Widow - Wonder Woman and Northern Light. Unless something changes that's the pairs I'll grow together.

Dialed in the vertical grow space. Veg to 10" Flower Stretch for another 10". I built an extra 6" not taken into account in case of over stretch, lol. From the test grow, I know I have a solid 10-12" of light penetration, possibly more but that much for sure, So I've got everything matched up pretty well overall. Once I see these strains grow I can fine tune the vertical space.

Working on Tent A and getting it ready roll.
