Holy Smoke- A Journey Home

Aloha fellow Firewalkers!

More resin coming now and the fan leaves are giving way to color. At first I thought back on what Shanti said about feeding them a little more N. But they are all doing it while the Holy Grail remains green. So confirmed they will finish earlier. 4 to 6 more weeks is what I am shooting for. Always look forward to this period as the buds really put it on in their final effort.
I recently bought a ring flash for my old SLR. Big learning curve using in conjunction with diopter lenses (last 2 pics). I like the detail and will keep at it, saving up to perhaps buy a serious macro lens. Maybe, as they are spendy. In the meantime, most were taken with my trusty little Canon.

It is now 2 weeks since putting seed to soil. So far, since using bleach in my "hatching" water, I have eliminated the damping off problem. Thanks for the tip Mel! 9 HS plants to work with. The 10th seed was unearthed earlier due to watering with an errant drop of water splashing- that prematurely popped it out of the soil. It was found dried out in the corner of the container :(. I don't normally water that way preferring to flood, spray and hood. Being in a hurry, too lazy to fill a spray bottle, I will go back to my old method. It irks me to find a dried out, split seed that couId have contributed to the whole. It feels odd to only have 19 (including HG) pre-sexed plants to work with this cycle as past grows have been larger. With the extra room, it affords me a longer veg time which is good as the plants will have time to develop more branching from which I will make cuttings. I am definitely interested in preserving this line. Hardly any slouchers, they have all grown straight up without support. I am interested in the males for future projects.

Hi,

question for you. What is “the bleach in my "hatching" water” technique? I’d like to minimize damping off on my next run. Thanks in advance for the insight! 🙌🏼
 
I used to use Actinovate as my go to for pythium. It's an OMRI approved streptomyces product- until Monsanto bought them out and jacked up the price. SOB's! It is excellent though. But many of these pathogen challenges can also be ameliorated using bleach or H2O2 as a disinfectant, oxygenating. I mix roughly 1/4-1/2 cup per gallon of water. Add some kelp and fulvates. Pre-dampen soil with mixture. Take seeds that have been soaking in water that show radicle or at least have sank, drop em in soil, cover them, add heat and light. Works for me anyway and germination rates approximate 98-100%. Based on MNS seeds of course ;)

Aloha everyone,

I tried to get pictures of Holy Smoke #4 today, as she is the most sativa leaning of the bunch. Problem is I can't fit her entirely in the frame. 😄 She is gangly and over 198cm long and her side branching is 76cm on each side making her 152cm wide. These 30" wands are self-supporting and have yet to collapse. I'd like to get her outside and see what she would do in the sunlight. So for now some buds on those side branches.

11.5 weeks and we're coming down to the wire. They continue to brown up and swell as I begin tapering the P's. Now mostly water, molasses, some fulvates, aminos and saponins. I am very excited about these girls. The late stage aromas are overwhelming the filtering system lol.
