Day 56 Updates:
I decided to weigh 50 seeds on my scale, and it equaled 1 gram. I was expecting worse, but still annoying to have so many.
I decided to be proactive and start removing seeds from plants that are in early flowering still. I ended up removing almost 330 seeds from KFC alone! The next furthest bagseed along had 125. The remaining bagseeds, and Early Durbans had anywhere from 5-25 seeds each. It doesn't appear as though they will have alot more seeds in the future, but Ill check them in 5 days again.
The newest clones that have been in there for close to a week had no seeds. A small amount of brown pistils on two small colas. Ill keep a close eye on those plants, but overall they were almost all fresh white pistils.
The remaining plants may get plucked as well. I dont want to handle the JTR B & C, C9, and Skunk Hazes much as its easy to damage trichome heads, but I might be able to keep damage to a minimum. Ill look them over closer tomorrow and decide.
Maybe we are turning the corner, and I can do this journal right. So many screw ups along the way, but I suppose that's normal. This is only my third indoor grow, and Ive got a long way to get everything right.
Speaking of grows, my first outdoor grow is stumbling along. Its rained twice this week, but plants still showed under-watering. A fair amount of fan leaves completely scorched. I gave them all 1.5 gallons each, and Ill visit them again tuesday for a checkup. Ive been neglecting them a bit too much.
I accidentally split ones trunk a small amount about 10 days ago, and when visited today, it had split much further thanks to the rains and her packing on weight. I used burlap strings to tie her up, that I pulled from the burlap I use to help keep the trunks cooler. Drops the temps by alot, so use them if you grow in bags outdoors.
These ladies have been flowering for an easy 3 weeks, maybe a bit longer. I guess they have some Ruderalis in them because they didn't freak out to the light change when first placed outside. They were outside a month before even showing signs of flowering. They look like completely different plants from the indoor ones. The nodes are so much more packed. Half an inch or less on one lady who is definitely the yielder among the three. I could get some nice long buds from them if I can keep the bugs away. Time to grab some Spinosad to treat them.
The ladies today had finished off their reservoir. I think I had 2-3 gallons of water in there, and 12 plants on the blumat system used up the water. I put 4 gallons in it, and will make sure to top it off near the top from now on. I need a larger reservoir in there. Need to build some platform to set a 18 gallon rubbermaid tote onto. Hard to dial in blumats when I can't even provide enough water. Grr.
Onto other stuff now. I noticed while disposing of rootballs the roots at the bottom were yellowish-brownish, and no root hairs and poor lateral branching. These roots were in bad shape down there. Not quite root rot, but the bottom roots were struggling. The roots at the top of the containers for the outdoor ones were beautiful white, thinner, and had incredible branching. It looked like a lattice work of roots spreading across the top of the soil.
I will be changing my soil mix in the future and making other changes. I know they suffered from over-watering along time ago, but Ive got a problem down there.
I think Ill make a thread discussing this, what causes it and how we can fix it. Look for it some time in the next week.
