Citrus Farmer indoor dirt grow

[texasjack]

Sup dudes. Started a new grow about 1 month ago. Growing in promix organic herb and veg mix. Not pure coco but coca based dirt plus organic amendments. Found it at my local store for $4 a bag. Seeds are Citrus Farmer from Dungeons Vault. Cracked 2. Hoping for one female. 2 would be great.

2.5×3×11ft Gorilla grow tent. I'm veging under a cheap Chinese led. I'm topping and lst. Will switch to hps at flower after sexing I'll probably drop the pot/pots onto another 5 gal pot. No nutes yet. Bag says the dirt feeds for 3 months.

Sup. Month and a half since seed. Still waiting for cooler temps and more size to flip. I'm going to sex them now (fingers crossed). Gnats are annoying so I've been throwing diatomaceous earth everywhere. Happy with my lst so far.
Started feeding with Jack's classic tomato. I think they were hungry.

Just watered left plant.

One confirmed male one confirmed female. I cut the male down to one stem and threw him outside under a bush. Hoping to collect some pollen.

I decided to go ahead and flower the girl out. I put her on top of a 7 gal smart pot for a total of 11gal. Hortilux bulb and filter are on their way tomorrow.

Got my 400watt hortilux on, new filter and we're ready to flower. I'll call it Aug 15th is day 1.

Stretching strongly. Will post a pic tonight. It can double in size, I have the room.

Here she is, day 9. Also a pic of my outdoor male. I got some pollen collecting. When should I hit my low popcorn buds with it? Now?

Thought you meant that you were a citrus farmer in the title, lol. Do you sow your seeds near the perimeter of the cups intentionally?

Hit her with the pollen as soon as you get it

No, I just have bad aim.

I like to keep the bottoms pretty well cleaned up all the time.

She's relatively clean. I'm just trying to get some seeds.

Looking good my man

Yea man, like week 3-4 as far as I know. As long as there are a good amount of pistols already formed. Turn off all your fans when you do the dusting. You may ask over in the pollen chuckers thread too.

Oh right fan, haha. Probably important.

I guess I've never grown in this much dirt (11gal) but I'm blown away by how much water it takes. I let her dry out good based on weight and it took 4.5 gal before I got any run off. The leaves weren't even drooping at the time so I could have waited another day.

You can see by the fly strip on the right versus post #4 she's doubled in size already. Added Jacks bloom booster for the first time today. Still giving Jacks tomato feed and cal-mag.

Very nice. I'm keeping an eye on the DVG gear, shit looks very dank. Looks like she's done stretching and just putting on some major weight now.

Day 13 so there may be a little more stretch. I thinking that dropping it on another 7 gal of dirt amplified the stretch which is fine. Tent is 7 ft.

Okay sweet, you still have time to flatten out the canopy if you like. I did some slight lst on about day 12 on my current cycle and expanded my canopy by about 30%. All clone though so I knew how they would react.

Either way, the plant looks super healthy, that's most important.

You think I should pull them down some more?
