Man, looks like we grow the same way. Overdose em, but get em to the finish line all the same haha. My personal project looks a lot like that sky cuddler -- clawing till the bitter end. Never have been able to make her happy, but she's been a pet project for years so I keep her around like a sadistic captor.
Honestly, I'm just convinced some plants just can't understand normal thinking and like to claw like arthritic hags lolHah! Both of those Sky Cuddlers have been tough to finish, but I'm also kinda making do with whatever I can get my hands on when it comes to dirt. I haven't been able to get the stuff to mix a new batch yet, so there are slight inconsistencies between plants. Both Sky Cuddlers have been very sensitive to overfeeding, while the G13 Haze has been fed a higher concentration of nutes and hasn't clawed at all, and the G13 Hashplant got fed very similarly and looks wonderful.
I like that last photo LOL, it give me hope. I've not worked with clones a whole lot, because most of the clones were provided for us years ago by the head cheese, as he held tight control over them. I wish I still had that strain of black licorice, it was a rare plant that was never circulated beyond a tight circle. One of a kind taste. I've been working with seeds for many years since. Seedlings are pretty and clones can be ugly ducks, but they eventually become beautiful over time.
The thing I'm noticing is that some of these try to keep just going up, I've bent them over, trying to stimulate branching in them, I guess that will happen once they pick up speed. I'm thinking its dependent on the particular clone, as some of them actually have branches already in them, and others were taken from straighter parts of the plant, that probably didn't have those cells replicating in full swing.
I've burnt a few plants like that also, especially after they achieve explosive growth like that, thinking I could pile more fuel to the fire, but I think pulling back some, is a better course of action, kinda reel it in at the end, (like a fish, draw away his energy over time) because once the plant hits the height of it's flowering stage, especially explosively, it's nutrient needs rapidly diminish as it matures, and the most prolific ones will have a lot of stored up energy already within them. I think maintenance is all that's required at that point, anything else is overkill, and generally going increase bulk over concentrating potency.
I'm also trying to do a bit more drought stressing at the later stages.
Actually a bit of acetic acid (vinegar) and perhaps CaCo3 would be more ideal, I've thought along the same lines, but I would start with minute amounts. There are other oxidizer as well, but I think your right, some sort of nitrification is at play, so you've got to watch pH and adjust, as it goes up.Yup, I think you're exactly right. Right after they peaked, I hit them with a bit of guano tea and the leaves faded on me. Maybe it started to ferment or something. I wonder if adding baking soda to an acidic nutrient solution and watering plants with that as it's reacting would increase the amount of CO2 that they take up...
Yeah, I'm still not great at cloning. I think the water is different in some way that makes it harder here, so I figure that dunking them in oxygenated water with aspirin and rooting hormone in it should hopefully counteract that. If not, I'll use the stone to make teas and make a more intricate airtight, lightproof misting cloner.
What does it mean? Why is that designation useful?Why is everyone against using the word landrace? Sorry but WTF? It never was botanical term. It was coined in the livestock industry not botany. But either way, I am confused and missing something! There is a difference between landrace and heirloom. They are not the same. No cannabis is wild though, not really. Thus the sativa in the name.
Heirloom is a variety from a particular region that is grown in non native soil. A landrace is a variety from a region grown in that specific region.
The two terms are similar in use though. Why is using the term the equivalent of nazism though? I don't get it.
