Hey Gigs
I'm around, not much goin on... made some more after that that came out better... they both hit real nice... they're tiny batches but it's nice to switch it up for a while with the oils. I've got a little more butane, will probably re-run the second batch again and then maybe have enough left for one more tube...

Actually I got some more stuff goin on that I didn't mention, haha.
I am revegging all four from last round... took about a third of the root ball off each, and replanted in 5 gal buckets. I set up a scrog screen over them as well this time.
So far the C99 is really flourishing on reveg... she took right off. One Kolossus is doing pretty well as well, and the other two are still straggling and pumping out a shitload of single-leaves.
We got somethin in the oven too, due pretty soon... so I'll have my hands full of a lot more than plants... haha.

Hey guys... what's up? I've been in and out, doing my re-veg thang, trying not to think about it... haha.
Couple weeks into flower now... wanted to share some canopy shots... not perfectly even but definitely utilizing the scrog effectively... pretty sure this will yield higher than last round without the scrog. But who knows! I had some monster buds last time, due to the unevenness of the canopies with just LSTing alone. And the reveg plants throw SO many shoots, it's absurd... I could have moved all the plants farther to the ends (as you can see I'm not quite utilizing the last half foot of T5 on each end yet) but I wanted to keep as many colas under the LED as possible so I didn't do that.
However, since the C99 stretches to infinity (expecting it to keep going) I'll probably start tying them down in positions that will catch the extra T5 light and maybe even hone in on the center area more with some of them, as C99 is probably my favorite strain out of this group.
FYI:
Back left is C99, taking up about 2/3rds of the width.. the 1/3rd on the right is the Kolossus pheno 2. I really chopped that one down more aggressively than the C99, so I side by sided them so I'd get more C99. The Kolossus is only a mediocre strength high for me. The flavor's really nice, but the second pheno didn't have the good smell, it smelled more like pickles... so I went ahead and paired it down.
In the front, you've got Kolossus pheno 1 on the left, and NLxNL on the right.
Dead nuts center, I added a nice established clone from a friend, he said it is a NL cross of some sort, being passed around as "Nor-Easter" Or "North-Easter"... might be a made up name? I didn't bother looking it up, he said he didn't think it was a legit name. Anyway I transplanted it to a 3 gal bag and dropped it in the middle to cover the part of the foot print under the LED I hadn't accommodated.
Finally, front left in the corner, there's another clone from the same friend that I put right into 12/12... it's taking it's sweet time flipping though, probably because I topped it before I put it in but didn't give it time to reestablish in veg first.
Anyway, pics:

Thanks dude. I got a recommendation, never been safer! haha. I got new shots for y'allz... I'll throw 'em up soon... the canopy has unevened itself a bit but that shit is growin'! I also have some nice mothers going now, of the NLxNL, the C99, and Kolossus. I'm headed to the grow shop tomorrow for perlite and castings so I can mix up some more base soil to get them transplanted.
Also, my baby boy was born last week... we had some complications and got stuck in the hospital but we brought him home this morning and we are celebrating his independence!

Yessir... I do agree, it looks like a happy forest... hahaha. I am really starting to get a feel for things now... last couple grows have been so stable... really digging the amount of growth I've been getting... and finally decided to scrog it even though it's tight, and I think it actually works great... I just have to lean the buds inward away from the lights when they try to get up on them. Of course, that is easier said than done in the lower canopy. I will enjoy seeing this arrangement open up when I get into a bigger area. Also, new electrical will be key. I dare not up the watts much more than I have til I get into a place with better circuit access.
flipped to 12/12 right round the beginning of june... wish I knew the EXACT day, but I did a gradual transition... let's call it the second...
so that would be 5 weeks in as of today.

I hit a dispensary for the first time and got myself some medicinal grade shit that's been proper cured for a long time and it handed me my ass. I went through the eye, came out the other side. Boom.
Splat.
It's awesome.
I mean I hadn't gotten high in like a week or two, and I combined tincture with bud of a couple different strains... just faced myself completely. In a good way.

It makes me want to up my game... this dispensary shit is surprisingly good. I got to get me a chemdawg clone now, that shit is my jam. I also got some blue dynamite, but it doesn't seem quite as potent in the vapes. The chemdawg really got me over the edge and into inner space.

C99's said to be best harvested a little early, at about 54 days.
Kolossus is said to be a 9-10 weeker, so that'll be a spell longer.
NLxNL's sort of a mystery, but as I recall it was pretty close to Kolossus' flowering window last time.

What you got there? Show me after the trimHazes will just keep getting better the longer you go. I am try some old school drying:
Cheers,
Mo
And yeah, I'm buckling down for a long flowering period when I run cheeseberry haze. That will be my next round... in fact I might set up a T5 and start vegging some because I don't know if we'll get out of here before winter...

Oh, I almost forgot... Sannies threw in a freebie pack, looks like 3-5 seeds in there, haven't looked closer... says its Casey Jones X Green Manalichi.

Found this quote of sannies on Casey Jones x Green Manilishi over on opengrow:
So I think I'll pop some of those too.
Also, found a grow op on green manalishi and it looks like flavortown:

Haven't popped seeds yet, I am waiting for my rapid rooters to come in the mail.
In the mean time, I took some more pictures. I think I got the two kolossi mixed up. I think the back right is the fruitier pheno and the front left is the "pickly" one... based on what i'm seeing in terms of appearance.
Here are some pics with very little labeling:
Top left in this shot is C99.. top right is Kolossus... in the middle at the bottom you can see some nice towers from a strain a friend gifted to me, some sort of northern lights cross. It wasn't monster cropped like the others but I did top it once to encourage some multi-cola action. None the less it ended up with less colas overall and therefore bigger ones it seems. The kolossus in the back right also seems to be behaving similarly, since it had less to work with in terms of branching. (I intentionally went rougher on it when harvesting, thinking it was the other pheno, whoops! Same reason it's in the tight spot in the back when it should be front left! Oh well, I'll try to rearrange a little when I harvest C99...)
NLxNL I think:
I think this is the new NL strain:
Kolossus pheno 2:
Kolossus pheno 1:
C99:
Okay that's enough of basically the same shot over and over.. heh. Wish the NLxNL canopy worked out a little cola-heavier, but I'll take what I can get.
