MicroGrow 2

As this strain is still be developed the grow did not go as fruitful as I had initially hoped. I had some bugs to work out of my environment that I was not aware of, namely a severe light intensity issue. My growing containers are lined with orca film, if you haven’t used it research it, you can prevent the wondering by listening to this, it works as advertised. The only issue is growing with orca in a closed space, with controls I found quickly 1000w hps in a 6x6x7 area with stable climate is too much light, even for several plants. The orca traps the light more strongly than I had imagined. As time goes on I may continue to flower with 1000w but must manipulate my watering/feeding schedules or severely dilute the feedings. The intensity Ramos up photosynthesis as I assumed when I designed the chambers, but I didn’t anticipate it would make a 1000w light produce the inch/watts of a 2500w light. The plant gets stressed from the rapid use of higher doses nutrients to the point of hermaphroditism, the solution is reducing the nutrient at feeding by dilution, and less water per feeding/more flush periods/more watering overall per day. I don’t have the time for balancing these variables so I just reduced the light output to 600w from the same agromax de bulb. Since the issues all cleared up and I’m high way to producing the sensi I’ve been working so hard to nail down. From this batch I only had 1 true female, 4 males, and 3 fem dominate/hermaphrodites. In fear of losing the strain I’ve worked on over several years I elected to cross my femal plant with her brothers and produced a large cache of seeds(f2) for this iteration of my genetics. I will grow another batch of this strain soon and document the process. Overall the quality of the seed plant was still very high. It became a aromatic strain, full of pungent aroma, a hint of earth, a hint of menthe Cremo, and a strong pine/skunk overtone. The buzz was excellent, still lasting several hours/gram. The plant produces 3 oz of usable bud, and 10grams(2,000) strong seeds. I was impressed with the f2 of my genetic and how it turned into something very beautiful from the genetics involved. I was floored to taste the strong pine in the bud, as the OG parent Purple Sherpa(Red Scare Seed Company) has a floral pallet with a hint of citrus. This probably is emerging from the landrace linage of the purple Sherpa, Congolese landrace(Vintage pine bud). I’m hoping the back cross will bring this skunk, pine smell to the surface of this heavy medium producing Sativa dominant hybrid! The plant is very finicky to grow. You must stay on top of your environment as it doesn’t take much stress to push the plant overboard. That being said when grown in a stable or conditional climate the plant thrives. It doubles in size, sometimes tripling due to the early introduction of Bruce banner, into its lineage. The buds are sporadically placed, but grow dense and large. During maturity the fan and sugar leaves take on a deep crimson and purple, while the buds maintain a bright green with flicks of purple here and there, and swell sometimes 3-4x there size within the last 4 weeks of flower. The plant itself produces a velvety appearance from the rich covering of trichomes. If grown without issue it is not uncommon to see purple/crimson filled trichomes and reddish heads instead of a cloudy white among 5-10% of them. A very peculiar and memorable thing to see indeed.
