Week 12 UpdateView attachment 3407005
Another week down, one or two more to go! No time to go on about the details of the past week like usual but I'll more than make up for it next week! For now I'll leave you with some more pictures. I included the non contender as well... see if you can guess which macro shot belongs to which...

I graciously withdraw from the competition. I have a lot of shit going on, been working 6 and 7 day weeks lately.

I let her slip and dry up. She's a goner, haha! Plus I missed my update last night. Maybe next time.....

Happy growing guys!

Update 9 (I think)
Looks like you guys might not have to wait for my late-bloomers to finish after all, I may have just knocked myself out of this thing completely. I was starting to get a bit of a fungus gnat issue, and in dealing with it I somehow managed to mix my foliar WAY too strong (This is the second time I've done this, I am just about fed up and done with neem completely). The only good news is that the LVBK x SourJack only got partially destroyed, and the CoCo Kush was damn near unscathed (Even though it got just as much spray as the others), but I think that the Fool's Gold has bitten the dust. For some reason it responded the worst by far, and has pretty much given up the ghost, which is fucking depressing because it was the only one that's actually flowering (Other than the male that is just taunting my with it's vigor). Now, if I had any pride I would never let these pictures see the light of day, but pride is for lions, so...
I present to you:

The demolished Fool's Gold



and my survivors, the partially damaged LVBK x SourJack (in the back) and the relatively untouched CoCo Kush (in the front)

Final Update!!!!
8 weeks of flower and im going to call this cup comp over!... for me at least
her dense little nuggets dont seem to be gaining any more size or weight and I have to move on to bigger things so to speak so ill be chopping tonight and the dry should be done in 3-4 days with these mid 90 degree temps were having.



Oh and to reiterate!

 

[bf80255]

just for fun heres the other girl I had to choose between at the beggining of the comp for comparison, shes been in a 1 gallon most of the flowering time and still only has slightly more floral growth than my little Power Kush and actually has way more space between nodes so I feel I made the right decision.

Simply beautiful.

Two done 21 more to go! I will have the interactive sheets updated in my sig later in the day.. for now this will have to hold you over.

Both our finishers managed to keep their plants alive for 80+ days in a solo cup, an achievement in itself.. Meta, who had to chop early actually ended up going longer than bf by a day both in flower and overall.. go figure! Great job to both.

The flower update sheet continues to get more colorful, need to fix this up a bit though like reorder and renumber but heres a little sneak peak until later!

I hate the smell of Neem.... I switched to Azamax to rid myself of gnats and thripps

I highly recommend mosquito bits. It won't effect the adults at all, but it will help reduce the population of youngins. No ill effects on any plants so far either. However I recommend chopping the bits up finer in a cheap coffee grinder. Mortar and pestle won't work, they're like little bits of concrete I swear.

BTW kingbrite and china post are awesome. $10 shipping from china made it stateside 10 days after the order was placed. Almost ready for next round

Luv the side by side comparison, amazing the similarities. Doubt it was just a photo shop, lol.

quick update, about to tear apart the garage to find a better camera I know is in a tote some where.

 

[Hot Diggity Sog]

I have not been on here for a while.

@Sire Killem All
@bf80255
@Sevren

Fucking great job.

 

[Ace Yonder]

Yeah, I have no idea what the fuck is going on, 3 out of my 5 plants started flowering, 2 of them were males and the other was the fool's gold which is now dead thanks to my carelessness. No fucking clue what is wrong with the last two, and it's really pissing me off. My only guess is that maybe they just don't have enough light, maybe because they were under 2700K and mostly-red LED from the start they just growing so slow that they are taking longer to do everything, but honestly I don't know.

I don't mind the smell of neem, but this is the second time it has killed plants that I've used it on (And it still didn't wipe out the Gnats either), and I hate the smell of my pride dying in the gutter. I picked up some Mosquito Bits so we'll see how that works, probably gonna pick up some Nematodes if the bits don't do the trick. Gonna need a surefire solution for my outdoor crop so I don't have to wash off 100s of gnats at harvest time like I did last year.

 

[nvhak49]

Here's my update on my Fugly girl haha, but hey at least she's producing something now, wish I had a better camera I'll probably get a macro lens for my iPhone here soon they seems to work pretty good. My spider man cup I ended up putting her in a 1gallon smart pot with the blumat still she's liking a lot I regret not choosing her for the comp but oh well we live and learn can't wait for the next comp its game on.
