| 13 out 15 seeds Germinated. Of these, 7 females 6 males. Grew out 5 of the females due to space restrictions. 2 different phenotypes were observed. A very tall and lanky, low feeding, sativa pheno. It was not topped and produced a massive main cola but little popcorn buds everywhere else. They were also the earliest to finish at 48 days. The other phenotype was a much more squat plant, with broader leaves, and used more fertilizer, it also took the longest at 53 days. But it produced fat buds all over the plant. I would select this as a mother.
Go easy on the fertilizer. She is a light feeder.
Cindy shows her sex after about 4-5 weeks in veg. It isn't neccessary to flower just to find out the sex. Buds develop rapidly, especially, during weeks 2-5, where massive growth can be observed. The flowers start swelling around week 6-7.
I think Cindy should be harvested just when the trichomes begin to change from cloudy to amber. I have picked samples at day, 44, 50, 53, and let 1 clone goto day 60. The best smoke was from day 50 and 53.
Garden Information for this report Room space was a 4 foot x 8 foot, with a 3ft x 4ft garden. 400w MH, 400wHPS, bloomed and vegged under both for duration of grow. Co2 system, sealed room, dehumidifier, A/C. Used Advanced Nutrients 2+ fertilizers. Grew in a 75% coco coir, 25% hydroton. Next time, I will used 50% coco coir and 50% perlight, for better airation. Watered by hand every 3 days in a Feed/Water/Feed/water cycle. Plants were vegged in a 3 gallon pot. For flowering, they were double potted into a 5 gallon bucket. Upon examining the roots after harvest, it appears they colonize the medium in a very effecient manner. No signs of rootbound. |
