Hi all-
I have a grow journal running on this grow- but since I have two of these in the mix this forum seemed the best place to get some advice.
I'm growing Big Band Auto Fem from Kannabia. Bubblegum/Chronic are the roots of the original BB strain. Bought 5 seeds- popped 4 only one made it So I figured what the hey- might as well grow the other one. So they are about 14 days apart.
Both went straight to soil after germination 3 gal bucket and 3 gal grow bag since I didn't want to have to move them at all. I used the soak in water method. In garden center soil (no details but seems good) with a little perlite and worm castings and some coco to keep things fluffy. Had the seedling mix around them while they were little babies, so they got off to a good start.
They are doing well and have had a few organic teas and one dose of a mild, mild bloom nutes (1/4 strength). (First feeding)
I'm not seeing any sex on the older one and it is 31 days old. Shouldn't it be showing by now.
They are under 24 hr light 600W bulb because I have a bunch of stuff vegging and I need the lights on to keep the temperature up. If I'm going to use 600W I prefer to get more light than simply use a space heater.
PH soil: 7ish (using a meter you stick in the dirt and not sure how accurate it is)
Temp: 74 deg. / RH 49%
Oscillating fan going most of the time.
Has about 6 nodes and lots of secondary growth. Though they are getting that extra growth nob off the stem to the branch.
Timeline on this said: flowering time 8-9 weeks
Any ideas would be most welcome.
This wasn't my first pick I selected a different strain originally with a shorter finishing time (speed was my main criteria for this particular grow) but this was subbed since they were out of what I wanted. So I'm kind of playing it by ear.
