From back to front: five Apollo 11 Genius f4's, five Prayer Tower Sativa, five Goldstar f4's and three Clusterfunks (Clusterfunks were planted a week later than the others amd have already pretty much caught up to the other three strains). I know it's a shitty pic, but you can still see the variation in all of the plants. I'm okay with the fact that the Prayer Towers are kind of all over the place, just because they're f1's and all, but I'm pretty surprised that the Apollos and the Goldstars are showing such different growth rates/traits, considering the fact that they're f4's. The Apollos are a tangled mess of branches, which makes me leery, if only because if I recall correctly, Bodhi said that the branchier phenos were more C99-leaning and the short stocky ones were the Genius phenos. I was hoping to find an Apollo-leaning pheno.
The Goldtsars were all staying very short and compact, but then the number four started developing very wide internodes about a week ago. Gold star #5 has internodes so tight I can't even get in there to check for pre-flowers. Again, like the Apollos, it's just a massive tangled web of "branches." Suuuuper-tight internodes and growing every which way.
The Clusterfunks have actually been impressing me the most lately. At first, the CF#1 impressed me the most, then the number three looked best. Today the number two looks the best. Or something like that haha! Whatever. My point is, each day, one of the CF's seems to have a growth spurt and looks better than the other two.
One of the Goldstars and one of the Prayer Towers have developed very purple stems, but I'm chalking that up to environmental conditions rather than genetics. Temps have still been fluctuating dramatically in my tent and I still cant keep humidity levels high enough to make me feel comfortable. Two humidifiers outside the tent and a bucket of water with a towel hanging halfway out of it in the tent itself and humidity levels are still between 28 and 40 percent. Really annoying.
Fucking climate change. And SoCal weather, I guess. Just been too dry out here lately.
Still, the plants look healthy. Noticed a little nute burn on the the tips of a few of the plants, which is odd since I've only been watering them with straight RO water for the last week. I think I did something in the first week or so after they sprouted that fucked them up, because the Clusterfunks look the most healthy and they were planted a week later and didn't get "fed" with whatever I did to the other three strains when they first sprouted.
Anyway, topped all of them a couple hours ago. The plan is to let them get to sixty days, take cuttings and flower said cuttings out. Once I get those clones rooted, I'll start a proper grow report. Hope y'all pay attention and help me out, cuz I'm gonna need it haha.
