STONINGTON BLEND- It doesn't get any easier than this- I HOPE

The top layer (1/3) is FoxFarms "Light Warrior" seed starter with the bottom layer (2/3) - is Coast of Maine- Stonington Blend (basically no nutrients required for Autos).
Current frequency is 48 hours between watering.
 
Week #3- top/lolipop window- not quit ready, I topped one plant early @ 4th node as it looked ready to run. I'll try and hold out for 5th node on others.

Mephisto genetics calls for an intermediate skill level of growing- and I notice, no two plants look/act alike. all are healthy without noticable deficiencies. I did have one mutant seedling which has grown out OK-(but I'm not certain about it's root structure as there was too much topside growth at the onset).

I have added more soil about 1/2 Stonnington and 1/2 Light warrior to each pot. Watering without stress to plant, so I will add weekly (light) bloom A&B during this week-and watch for toxicity, as the soil has enough to complete the grow.

I felt they needed more light at the veg stage so I dropped it to 30" above soil level last week- all LEDs @ 100%. the plants response was immediate (positive).
I was able to find yield info.

The stretch should begin around the 4th of July.
I was watering differently- spraying the surface first, during the first 2 weeks to dispurse the water without compacting the soil. (Mephisto recommendation)
I have not been watering to run off- allowing nutrients to stay in the soil.


My only concern- I was trying to slow the maturiing of the seedlings - to allow for expanded root growth before stretching (Mephisto recommendation) - but HVAC issues and hot temps raised my grow tent temperature higher than I like - by a few degrees.

Next post - after the stretch. Around mid July.

Interesting turn of events: ALL PLANTs have begun the flowering stretch- showing pistils etc.

The Plant that was much taller and looked futher ahead has pistils and what look like MALE parts-
I will observe for a few days and chop it down if pistils don't develope or more balls appear.

On closer examination of these picks- I'm chopping it down tonight and just run 2 plants with 2 lights.
 
Week #6 - plant strectch is about done- good bud formation- I hope to get a little more height (not likely).
Removed a few leaves blocking budsites- Plant size and water consumption consistant with previous grows. weekly Bloom A&B low strength.

<-- dropped a seed in pot that the mutant was in-

Plants are doing well- very easy grow- I estimate about 6 more weeks.
 
That alien vs triangle sounds super fire, I almost ordered some the other day but went with creme de la chem and forum stomper instead. Looking forward to heading about it. What was the replacement seed, same thing?
 
Pre-Harvest Update= Week #11- Flower week #7 trichomes clear/cloudy, still drinking well- just gave last weekly feed?
I feed until amber trichomes and then pHed water until drinking slows - will cut ripe buds off and stage harvest the rest along with the replacement for mutant plant.

I will have a better set of eyes check trichomes this weekend.

Boring grow- Prefect!
 
Better Eyes= a few amber trichomes- so, no more feeding- pH water only until harvest- estimate10-14 days for the "first cutting".
 
Harvest begins: week #12- week #8 in flower. Examined the buds and cut 8 colas cloudy/amber trichomes and left the lower part which were clear/cloudy and white pistils (still growing).
I suspect about 14 days more will do it.
Plant #2 did not show any amber and still had some clear trichomes and remains intact.

Drying is done by hanging in a small tent until 10-12% moisture and then into jars for curing.

The mutant replacement plant is tagging along, doing well.

This grow was extremely easy and litttle effort.
I was able set the light/plant etc and water it.
The yields where not that great and having the male appear needing replanting was a minor setback.
The replacement (which I grew in the males soil) is thriving and needed bud support today.

Plant #3

Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_0581.jpg Views:	0 Size:	1.30 MB ID:	657642I will add final weight to above once harvested/dried and jarred.

Next grow- (spring 26) I plan to take 1/2 of the light warrior seed mix and mix it with Stonnington, then mix that with 1:1 warrior for top layer of soil- to closely resemble what was done on plant #3.
I will also grow a strain I have grown before (under same tent conditions).

The abiiity to set up a grow and the light- not having to move the plants/lights etc will make for a much easier processes.
