Google the Cabrera cut skywalker og. That's the one you want. It's also known as sativa og.
Awesome, I'll definitely check to verify before I pick it up. Google search tells me the middle leaf on the 3 blade leaves tend to curve to one side and taco, seems like an easy trait to identify :)

For reference, I want to post a pic of last week's glue veg plants vs. This week's glue veg plants that have had the bennies for about a week. It's hard to deny the results. Now for future reference, I have added the chitosan. So in a week I will have a comparison pic of today's pic and what they look like in a week.

Ive added 3g of chitosan per 1 gallon of water. My res is 20 gallons so I added 60 grams.

Let's hope the chitosan takes charge like the bennies did.

Have you ever had foxtail bud?I am having a bunch of my headband fox tail on me.
temps are low in the GH at night...I have been giving them some G10 booster the past 3 weeks.
Waiting for the buds to stack,but they are all fluff with foxtail structure?

Have you grown that sour d before? A lot of sour will foxtail. It also won't be too dense until after week 10. Usually hight Temps will cause foxtaily in plants that otherwise wouldn't foxtail. But sours tend to do that genetically and will fill out way late in flower. Some boosters can trigger it too, I'd cut out the boosters and go with base nutes from here on out, that's my suggestion.

Yes I wonder if the booster nutes is the problem...sure not heat,as the plants are going straight purple from the foothill temps here.
A few days of frost here lately.
trics are cloudy and amber already,but the size of loose buds makes me wait,the white pistils are pushing out hard on the tops as well.
As far as base nutes,I cut out grow all together 4 weeks ago.Wonder if I should finish out with plain water and plan on cutting in 2 weeks?

That sounds like a good plan. It's definitely just the strain that naturally fox tails, so I wouldn't worry about that. 3/4 of the strains I just harvested had foxtails, it's a sativa gene. If you're in soil, 2 weeks or so of water only should be good. The cold weather really slows down the denseness as well, all sounds normal given the recipe :)

Thanks brother :)

It's just in some strains genetics. Just make sure your temps are in check and you're not taking them to long.

It could cost me some propane,not sure how much.But I have a heater attachment for a propane bottle.
Would it help the buds tighten up if I ran the heat during sun down?
Current temps are dropping into the low 40's to high 30's

At those Temps I don't think any good can come from it, definitely try to get those Temps to 60+

30s are extremely cold and will stunt if not completely holt the plant from growing

It got crazy cold fast in nor Cal this year

Propane heat jacks up the humidity, so definitely keep that in mind.
For sure, good call. Indoor it's pretty easy to raise Temps and lower rh with using just a dehuy, that's all I use anyways, but I'm not too sure a dehuy would work outside at all. Hmm, it's a catch 22 it seems. Big fans is all I can think of.

I'm still trying to figure out this maxi series nutes, I always get purple stems on transplant, looks like the ghostrider will get it too even only being in the tray for a day. After looking at the feeding charts (I've found 2 different ones) it says to feed 1000-1200ppm on one chart and 900-1100ppm on the other chart. I've been starting at 500-700ppm.

Seems to me that I'm just feeding WAYYYYYY low. With all other nutes I feed between 500 and around maybe 1050 max in full bloom. I think maybe the maxi is a weaker nutrient than what I'm used to.

So, I have bumped the ppm from 800 to 1050ppm on the glue and I will be starting at 500ppm for a couple days with the ghostrider and then going straight to 900ppm in a few days.

It sounds crazy, but all the symptoms I see during veg seem to be deficiencies. Yellow leave, spots on leaves, purple stems and purple petioles.

We shall see what happens. I will also be jumping the gg4 in flower up from 950ppm to 1100ppm. The gdp are already at 1100ppm.

The veg+bloom was such a great nutrient, I never had deficiencies issues, but that shit is just too expensive.

Well. Here's some results from the harvest.

The pog18 and kush berry both yielded the same exact amount. Crazy. The kushberry smells of berries and pine and the high is moderate. Not very strong, more body effect of an indica. The pog18 smells of tires now. I haven't smoked this one yet. The sour power OG Chem unfortunately I don't think is a keeper at the moment. Not much smell or taste to her, but the high is extreme, it is wicked stoney. I mean you get stoned af. Hopefully the smell comes out, it's been slow dried (about a week) properly, so it can't be a drying error as its still spongy and just about right. Will put it in a jar and see what happens.

I missed that part,what veg+bloom nutes are you speaking of?

It's a complete 1 part nutrient that is for both veg and bloom. It's made by hydroponics research in California. It works great! 1 nutrient for all of growth. It's 19.99 a pound plus shipping, about 25$ a pound or 110$ for 5 pounds. I may go back to using it when I have some spare change. I highly recommend it. You can also send your water sample in and they will customize the nutrients. It can be bought for ro/soft water, tap/ hard water, there's also a "dirty" mix that has aminos in it.

OK. Burning the pog 18 now. First two hits took few minutes to kick in. I'm pretty high, so I took another. It's an OG high. In the head a shoulders. I started singing random words I was reading on the news channel. I like this bud! Tastes earthy. No lemons. All earth.

Hey bro, sorry for my recent absence, been smashing out my final thesis so been very preoccupied!
Sounds like you did well with the girls bro, good work! Not sure how I'd go with the tire smell though ha ha. Did you end up getting your new babies? Keen to see you rock out the KLP :-D
