Been a long while since I've been on and been able to grow but now I am back at it and more ready than ever! Here already sprouted is some Thai chilies i got going before the bud because I had the setup and wanted to get something growing. In the unsprouted containers is the Sour Cheese. Freshly planted with "popped"seeds in Soil mix below. Five non-feminized seeds. I supplemented the soil with Biolive. And for most of the plants life i plan on running this soil mix with re-potting and EWC from my indoor established Vermicompost. Sorry for the bad quality photos. I have a much better camera that I will take photos with later on when there is something worth the detail. I will also have normal lighted photos. I plan on keeping this journal live and active throughout the full grow. Overall I plan on having 1-2 females to either grow one scrogged to a 2x4' area, or have one flower as stated AND one mother for clones.
Nice, the smoke you grow is always best! I know outdoor is different than indoor but how was the height of this strain?
That's a hefty girl, looks great. That's good because I'm gonna low stress train mine to stay short and bushy.
Update Day 3: All seeds have sprouted. They stretched just a bit until true leaves came in. Bonus shot of my Thai chillies that I topped.
Update Day 6: Installed second fan facing opposite direction and on the other side for some good convection, should be set in air flow. Small houseplant that I put in to get supplemental light. True leaves are coming in nicely Everything freshly watered.
Tomorrow will be week 2 for the bud. I have repotted the chilies and separated them from the seedlings. The chilies are on full spectrum, and the Sour Cheese is on " Veg" blue spectrum. Officially got both lights up and running, which I will eventually be using both to flower two of the female seedlings and hopefully have a third female to veg and clone. Plants are filling out well and staying short. Shorties They will probably get repotted soon and then I will start topping and LST.
Day 18. Plants were repotted two days ago and got topped today. Now in 3 qt pots. Pepper update: They were repotted about a week ago and now have flowers coming in I will show how i.go about pollinating them manually when they develop.
Quick update: A little over 3 weeks olds, plants are doing great. Looks like one is showing pre-sex sacks. Might keep him for a while to get some pollen. Some normal light shots. These are the balls.
Update: Two on the left are males and the 3 on the right are female. Just about 4 weeks into veg. I will be tying her down in the next day or so and training. When the pots dry just a bit more I'm going to check roots and get an idea of when I'm repotting. Plan on SCROGing two of the female to fill this 2x5 workspace and and flowering.
Week 5 Update: Transplanted Two Females into 5 gallon bag pots. Soil is supplemented with seabird guano and Langbenite. Gonna let them fill out these pots and fill most of this grow space once the pepper plants are done and out. Looking like 10 gallon pots will be the final pot size. Looking like 2 more weeks and I will transplant and start flowering. Pepper plants: Looking a bit sad at the moment because it's watering time and the pots are a bit small for the size. Not going to transplant because I don't want to use more soil and space for these.
