It's been another week and it's time to Flip to Flower .... ALREADY!! 😲
It's only 21 days since I transplanted into the Earth Boxes and all 4 plants have gotten so big, busy, bushy, branchy and so thick. If I Veg them out for another week, I'll probably be in trouble during "the stretch."
That being said, I decided I'm going to do something a little different. Instead of just flipping to a 12hr cycle over night, I'm going to lose an hour every 2 days instead until I get to a 12 hr light cycle. It'll take me 6 days to get to 12 hours from my 15 hour light cycle.
Yesterday they had 16 hours of light, today they will only get 15 hours. Tomorrow they'll get 15 hours and the day after it'll drop to 14 hours for the next 2 days and so on. I want to give them a softer flip and see if that does anything noticable since I'm growing a cultivar that I'm familiar with.
Both Uncle Grandpa's are doing great. No problems. They're big, leafy, beefy and fast growing. In my box or the earth box nutrients, no problems.
The Mandarin Zkittlez was given a tiny tiny bit of soy fertilizer. Just a 18-0-0 water, soluble nitrogen fertilizer with all the aminos needed for growth......I probably shouldn't have😅. She was the runt.... Now she's probably the biggest ones. She's literally growing triplets. That stuff is hyper potent.

There's the link. I've been super curious about this after doing some reading in my botany text box. Learning how photosynthesis works and now nutrients work with building blocks. I didn't have money for the Dr. Bruce Bugbee course, so I got a botany textbook that's at about that level. I got some BIG BIG plans for next year for some cool new tests. Gonna grow BIGGER, BETTER, STRONGER 💪
The Grape Balls of Fire on the other hand ended up being the runt of the bunch. She looked better out of the 2 seedlings but then just grew slower than the others. She's picked up since then but she's still behind.
The MAC1 x Blue Dream cross is starting to flower as well. She's looking okay. We'll see what kind of flavor we get off her. See if it's worth growing.
I also FINISHED MY GROW ROOM!!!!! 🙌🙌. I think this is more or less the FINAL set up of the whole place. There may be some minor adjustments and whatnot, but this is it! I got my pictures up, my records up, the tents are done, the driver bay is up behind the tents, the walls are painted, the work bench is turning into a seedling tent and the rest of the stuff is neatly stored away in the closet. It took a bunch of work and I still need to plaster a few holes on the ceiling and walls but that's a one day job at some time in the future. Not when I'm flower, that's for sure.
I'm just so hype about how it came out. The vibe in that room is SOOOO GOOD. Even when I'm bummed out, I go in there for a few minutes and I start feeling better. Just good energy flowing all around. It's my thinking space, it's my creative space, it's my work space and def my happy place.
I also baked some CBD cookies with some of that extract from that White Widow CBD that I grew last Christmas. CBD Peanut Butter and CBD Oatmeal Raisin. They should be about 1g of flower per cookie equivalent extract.
​​​​​​​I still have a little more RSO extract in my fridge. Just been using it to make medicated cookies that I can nibble on of i feel shitty. I also made a virgin batch of the peanut butter cookies because my cookies are delicious. It's really hard to have just 1.
