I almost never grow fems, but there was an unsightly buildup of fem seeds in my Seed Vault (a small plastic container in the back of the 'fridge) so this grow came to be.
A soil mix fuck-up made me think I would start over, but I was able to reduce a soil pH of 7.1 - 7.2 to below 6.7, which saved the day.
This is the whole gang, a couple of days ago, under everyone's favorite photography light source:
This is a week and a half after flip. The smaller one in the white pot, up front, is a Storm Shadow clone. In my last grow, a plant threw off a few balls and seeded the fuck out of this one's mommy. I want to find out what she's like unseeded, before deciding what to do with the clone.
The plants were all just below the metal bar you can see on the left side of the tent, before I flipped. The stretch is on.
This is an Irie Genetics Bebop girl — the one on the left, front. So far, Bebop is an easy grow. The stems are strong and may not need much in the way of support (famous last words).
Anyway, this plant is an easy grow. I read that @sshz had issues with the seedlings shedding their shells. That may have been the case with one of these (there are three), but if that is not a hassle for you, she's pretty care-free after that. Interesting double tooth pattern on all these gals.
This is Sannie's Sugar Punch. YEARS AGO, when this cross was first dropped, I bought a pack and never grew any. That might have been 2013 or 2014. She, too, is easy.
This is one of two remaining Golden Goat girls. This one was NOT HAPPY about my dolomite SNAFU, and I thought I'd be culling her. She had a serious micro nute deficiency that I now thing was manganese. Lots of seriously pH downed water did the trick. I started with 3, but one was a lost cause, and I needed the room in the tent. I have her clone, so I'll find out what I missed some day.
It was kind of interesting to see that when you get an immobile nutrient into a plant that's been deficient, the deficiency symptom disappears. That never happens with mobile nutrients. The affected leaves look like shit forever. You can still see the lighter color toward the lower parts of the fans near the bud.
This is the other Golden Goat, which has insanely long leaflets. Well, not insanely, but sativaly.
I'm looking forward to trying these ones out. An online acquaintance of mine, who seems to have identical tastes in weed to mine, considers this his "favorite daytime smoke."
This one is a Planet of the Grapes. It's also an easy grow — extremely vigorous rooter.
Last is a Lemon Sunrise (also Irie) clone. She's easy to grow, but is an all-over-the-place sativa dom that cannot support it's buds AT ALL. Support is needed. But I love it. This plant convinced me that I need to explore the other crosses by Rasta Jeff.
Well, I'll post some more pics when there's something more interesting to report — like a nice scent, a pretty bud or one plant demanding that someone named Seymour feed it.
I think Golden Goat would not be a problem if I had properly pHed my soil. It might even like the low 6's for pH. All the other I can recommend as easy grows for newbies.
