Lost Pearl Strain Test Grow - 2021


Recommended Posts

Time for an update on the 4 Lost Pearl sisters at the end of week 5 of flowering.

The girls are all healthy and building buds, last Saturday the dirt in the root pouches was dry so I gave the girls 2 litres of water each and yesterday the dirt was dry so I gave each plant 2 litres of water.

Here are some photos I took on Sunday afternoon.

On Sunday I noticed that the blades on the 6 inch fan on the floor of the tent were not moving so I tapped the fan and it started to spin when I checked the fan a few hours later the blades of the fan were not moving.

So I ordered a new fan and it arrived yesterday unfortunately it was too late to put it in the tent last night, so this morning as I watered the girls I put the new fan in the tent to replace the broken fan.

Happy growing... 👍

@Streetstrainsuk inner luv for the kind words I will have a look at the Geisha foliar spray it sounds interesting.

The TNB Naturals Co2 bottle is OK but it does not produce Co2 for long so its dear, the Smart Co2 bag produces Co2 for much longer so it is more affordable.

https://www.theco2bag.com/

These guys are in Stockport just outside Manchester not too far from where I used to live and not that far from where I am now on the Fylde coast, the bags produce Co2 at different rates the Magna is great when the plants are a few weeks into flower.

It is great that you can now buy the bags direct from their site as well last year when I first came across them this was not possible.

Time for an update on the 4 Lost Pearl sisters at the end of week 6 of flowering.

All of the girls are doing well and building buds at the moment.

On Saturday morning the dirt was dry in the root pouches and the fan leaves were starting to droop so I gave each of the plants 2 litres of water and then put them back into the grow tent under the LED to soak up the rays.

Here are some photos I took on Sunday afternoon.

This morning the dirt in the root pouches was dry and the fan leaves were starting to droop so I mixed 1g per litre of the enhancer and then I gave each plant 2 litres of the solution and then I put them back in the tent under the LED to soak up the rays.

The TNB Naturals refill seems to be producing less and less Co2 each day so this morning after I watered the girls I put the dispense bottle on the floor of the tent and pierced the Co2 bag of crystals with a pencil to make a hole to hang the bag from and 6 holes to allow air into the bag to get it started producing Co2

Normally I would have popped some beans for the next run, but we will be selling the house and down sizing in a month or two and I will have to move and live elsewhere, so I will play it safe and start the next run as soon as I have moved to my new home which should be around the end of January.

I am not sure what strain I will grow whether it will be a new test strain or something from my stash of beans, so I need to give that a coat or two of thinking in the meantime.

More updates to follow, happy growing... 👍😁

Time for an update on the 4 Lost Pearl sisters at the end of week 7 of flowering.

The girls are all growing nicely and the buds are getting fatter.

Since I put the Lava Lite on the surface of the dirt the number of gnats has diminished each week and finally there are now none left they have all died out completely.

On Friday morning the dirt in the root pouches was dry so I gave all of the girls 2 litres of water each and then I put them back in the tent under the LED to continue soaking up the rays from the LED before I went off to work.

Here are some images I took of the girls yesterday afternoon.

As I was looking at the images that I took of the buds on each plant I notice in one image a dead fly stuck in the resin on a sugar leaf on one of the plants.

02jan-lp-bud-dead-fly.thumb.jpg.f95440de51feca9478be7bfbd292eb59.jpg

Hopefully the bud will get nice and fat over the last few weeks of the flowering period ready to harvest.

Happy growing... 👍😁

Time for an update on the 4 Lost Pearl sisters at the end of week 8 of flowering.

The dirt in the root pouches was dry last Monday so I gave each plant 2 litres of water and 4 days later on Friday the dirt in the root pouches was dry, so I gave each plant 2 litres of water.

Then on Monday the dirt in the root pouches was dry so I gave each plant 2 litres of water.

The fan leaves that are left are quietly turning yellow as the plants finish and they are looking a bit scruffy now.

Here are some photos I took on Sunday.

I am thinking I will let them run another week and harvest at the end of week 10 to allow the bud to get fatter.

Happy growing... 👍😁

Time for an update on the 4 Lost Pearl sisters at the end of week 9 of flowering.

Last Thursday the dirt in the root pouches was dry and the plants felt light so I gave them all 2 litres of water each.

Then on Sunday 3 days later the dirt was dry and the plants felt light so I gave them all 2 litres of water each.

Here are some images of the plants I took on Sunday morning before I watered them all.

I thought the thermometer was busted, so I bought a new on, it turns out it was just the battery that was flat, so I have the new thermometer on the roof of the tent and I have put a new battery in the old thermometer and then I put it back into the tent, so I can now see what the temperature is in the tent without looking inside.

There is an interesting aroma in my little bathroom where my grow tent is located, it is a mixture of Cannabis and cat piss, the cat pissy part of the smell is because of the bag of crystals producing Co2 in the tent.

The dirt in the root pouches will be nice and dry tomorrow so I will water all the plants when I get up tomorrow, as soon as they dry out in 3 days on Saturday I will water them all again and then I will cut and harvest them the next day on Sunday.

With the next run I will start them flowering at 1 month old for a quick turn around, I need to check my bean stash and give a couple of coats of thinking about what strain to run next.

More updates to follow, happy growing... 👍

😂 a couple of coats of thinking! 🤔💭 

I like your style! I bet the smell is amazing, nearly there!! 
I got myself a co2 bag & it's been in about a week and I'm sure it's working, everything seems more vibrant & happy, cheers for the heads up bro 🤍🙏🏼

@Streetstrainsuk I picked that saying up from our neighbour farmer Bob, who lived next door where we used to live, Bob was from a place called Darwin which the locals in those parts call Darren, which is near Blackburn up here in Lankyshire.

I really missed a great opportunity back then living in a rural location and not knowing anything about growing or being able to learn by asking questions as we can today because of the internet, if I lived there now and knowing what I do now I would be growing a forest each year.

Unfortunately in that iwa I was too busy runnin down mi shadow using class A's being a dickhead.

Yes the smell was nice during the last few weeks, apart from the faint smell of cat piss from the Co2 bag.

I am glad the Co2 bag is working and your girls are benefitting and making you lots of fat buds 😍

Time for an update on the 4 Lost Pearl sisters.

Last Sunday the 23rd of January was the end of week 10 of flowering, on Wednesday the 19th of January the dirt in the root pouches was dry so I gave each plant 2 litres of water and then 3 days later on Saturday the 22nd of January the dirt in the root pouches was dry again so I gave them 2 litres of water each which was their last drink.

Then the following day Sunday the 23rd of January at the end of week 10 of flowering I cut and harvested all of the plants.

Here are some image of the plants before I harvested.

Time for a progress update after harvesting the 4 Lost Pearl sisters.

After 2 weeks the bud has dried out and was ready to cut off the stalk and put into Kilner jars.

Here are some images I took this morning when I cut the bud off the stalks and put it into Kilner jars.

All of the Lost Pearl bud on two plastic trays and on stalks ready to cut off the stalks.

A fat spliff of Lost Pearl ready to smoke.

06feb-lp-spliff.thumb.jpg.27b102a74433546500a2c31f8aab2ff2.jpg

So here are the totals for this run, all of the Lost Pearl trim 11.9g, all of the Lost Pearl bud 121.5g

The smell of the bud is sweet and fruity with a light earthy background as described on the GHS store and the taste when smoked is similar and for me it seems creamy and a very smooth smoke too, with a nice fast hitting vibe that lasts a few hours.

I am pleased with the yield from the 4 Lost Pearl sisters my jars are full again ready for the next few months while I grow my next run, I have decided to pop 4 Bubba Kush beans that I got as part of my prize in the 3rd Mega Contest.

I have put them between some kitchen paper to germinate them, as soon as they pop I will pop them into root sponges.

I won't do a journal for them due to the fact I am moving and things will get well busy for me at my new home, so I will veg them for 30 to 35 days and get them into flower as soon as they are sexually mature for a quick run.

That will give me time to settle in and work out which one of the new strains to run and do another grow journal.

Happy growing and smoking... 👍😍😀

Congratulations love! This looks tasty as hell, I remember those sweet smells, then when she's dried & cured the earthy gassy undertones break through. 
she's a nice one you did a really nice job & I've learnt a lot from reading your journals so thank you for that. 
 

I hope your move goes smoothly and stress free & your back up and running in no time! 
I will miss you my buddy 🤍🙏🏼
good luck 🍀
