Identified two females, both are the two strongest plants in the tent, took one additional clone from each female
5 plants remain, 3 still unidentified
Defoliated on Day 66
White Lavender update
Day 44
plants are responding well to LST
General Update
Removed the intake fan and replaced it with a box fan in the tent
With more space in the tent now I'm moving the clones to the tent until the tent light cycle shuts off to expose them to the better lighting. The plants are being moved back to the veg closet
With some much needed help (Santa Clause strikes again!) I've identified the best two females, all other V12 plants (those in the veg closet space as well) have been destroyed
The two females were moved to 5 gallon fabric pots
The two females were moved back to an 18/6 cycle on day 68 and will be vegged again until the end of June
The females will be referred to as V12E & V12L respectively moving forward
The two females were tied down
V12 L's main cola snapped during the tie down process, using tape to heal the plant back to the stalk
White Lavender
Day 46
Not much growth
Have stopped LST to observe growth progress without stress
Clones
All clones have been discarded except for the clones taken from the two remaining V12 plants.
There is one clone from each plant only
Clones have taken root and are beginning to grow within their 4 inch containers
General
All plants are in the tent for now due to the 18/6 cycle
Eliminated the closet grow space for now
Learned how to repurpose soil
Learned how to massage roots to help with transplant shock
Dehumidifier will be in place for flowering phase beginning in July
Less is more for me as of right now, with the reduced amount of plants I feel this grow has much more potential. With the new lights, increase in pot size, correct feeding, manicuring, training, and the extended veg cycle I'm pushing it but I believe I can work this strain to reach close to at least 8 ounces dry per plant. It's a lofty goal but all factors lean towards a larger yield and I'm bullish on this strain as one of the remaining two females seems like a can't miss mother plant. That's it on my end check out the weed porn, ciao
Due to my cola tops already producing heavy pistils I have cancelled vegging until July, the plants spent 4 days on an 18/6 cycle and have returned to 12/12 cycle
Day 2 of 12/12 cycle
Plants are looking great
78-86 degrees fahrenheit
57-73 humidity
Very much a concern due to mold issues from last grow
White Lavender
Day 49 from seed
Now on a sunlight and grow light schedule
12 kingbrite 240W QB
6 Sunlight, getting sunlight during peak sunlight hours daily
General
Dehumidifier on the way
Due to the following expectations for yield have decreased to 2-3 ounces (original goals were 6-8 oz per plant) per plant due to the following
Current humidity issues
Beginning 12/12 then returning to 18/6 too late into the pre-flowering process, then returning to 12/12 resulting in plant stress
Transplanting from 2 gallon pots into 5 gallon fabric pots 7 days into flowering
Mold spotted on one plant, used peroxide solution but it didn't work, removed from tent and moved to sunlight growing only
Plant began slowing growth, mold spotted on other plant, both plants growth slowed and plants died despite watering, drying out medium, plant seemed like nothing could stop plant death. Baffled
White Lavendar
Plant growth slowed and then plant died, no mold spotted, died same way V12 plants died
Overall
Threw out all containers used in the grow
Threw out all soil used in all plants during grow
Disappointed but that's life, fingers crossed new grow will be successful
