Another quick update. Day 56 and 15 of flowering.
Flushed today with pH'd water to 5.9. Nutes will be the same as last week, Silica, potash and coco A and B.
So i made a mistake with determining sex. I have a sinmints boy, blue lime pie boy and the nightmare cookies turned out to be a boy too, pictures below. The sinmints and blue lime pie boys will be kept to make some F2's so I can hunt through pheno's.
So at the moment the females, it appears I have 2 Platinum delights showing 2 different pheno's, 1 powernap, 1 sinmints and 1 blue lime pie. I'm still waiting on the blue lime pie to show me pistils though but I'm assuming it is a lady due to the time taken to show sex.

Sin City


Pollen chuck and Connoisseur


Sinmint boy


Blue lime pie boy


Nightmare cookies boy


Cheers, Mo

That sinmint male looks bad ass bro! Collect all of that pollen you can, looks like a beast and would probably make some nice offspring. How's he smell? Does he have any trichomes? Are you going to separate them or do an open pollination? If you separate them I bet the girls will love the extra space :)

Cheers bro, he does look badass hey, I've been admiring his stature since I found out he was a boy! He is starting to get some trichs on the top pods which is awesome and he smells, I guess you would say, minty or menthol, which is very different to what I'm used too. The blue lime pie boy also has some trichs as well and smells like christmas fruit pudding, almost like glace fruit if that makes sense?
I'm not going to do an open pollination this time, going to dust a branch on each of the sin city girls and the connoisseur cookies so I can have most of the plant to smoke :) i know they'll need more space but hey, I'm sure they'll still produce well. The Night cap x TK cookies I had to supercrop as she was getting very tall. She is going to give me some nice buds, I reckon :-D

Yeah bro, the smells are unlike any strains I've grown before so that is always a good thing :) Really just trying to get as much of the cookies out of these strains as possible, hoping that happens by outcrossing and F2'ing!
The NC x TK cookies was the buggest stretcher bro, her and the NC x candyland. Both are close to double the size of the rest. The NC x TK is so TK dom too, going to be really nice smoke :-D
A friend over at Sin City forums confirmed that the BLP boy is Key Lime Pie dom too, which is awesome! He will dust a branch or 2 as well lol.

Yeah it is bro, I was certain I had more males, so happy they are girls though! Confirmed the BLP is female too, super stoked now :)
Good stuff with the NC/CL, does the odd pheno have the long sativa leaves? If so she's leaning to the medicine man so should have a solid cbd content ;) sorry to hear you are without internet mate, no stress about pics!
Well done on landing the job too bro, top stuff and looks to be a good 2016!!

Yeah that sounds like the medicine man pheno, keep a close eye on this one from week 4/5 as it can pop a few nanners. I found lowering the nitrogen for that pheno helped a lot. They will produce long dense colas though bro and the smoke is divine :-D

Update for day 22 of flower.
We had some really hot weather here this last week so a couple of my girls took a bit of a battering :( I really need to make a portable air con to get some cool air in during lights on.
Flushed today and nutes to be used this week will be:
Coco A and B 4mL/L
Cyco silica 1mL/L
Potash 1mL/L

Pics!
Sinmints - this one looks the worst of the lot due to being too close to the light.

Well RIU massive, I need some advice please....
I have 2 plants showing different symptoms, I'm hoping someone can help me work out the issue. The heat has been better and these 2 just arent recovering.
Nightcap x mikado- I'm thinking this one may just need to dry out, it looks like overwatering...not sure how that happens in hempy though..
20160117_124746.jpg
And Platinum delights #1
This one is weird, the bud forming on the left looks deficient in something or not coping....the other bud looks fine..no idea what's going on here...

Hey brother sorry to hear about the girls hows the ph on the run off and what's the on and off temps have you been flushing them often I had something similar it was a salt build up and ph being to low always keep some testing liquid 4 and 7 and a ec 2.78

As one of your meters might be off and it might only be a matter of time before it happens to move all the best on finding the fix

DN my man, cheers for the advice hey.
Temps are not moving much, had a few cooler nights but averages 18-25 off and 28-35 lights on, not ideal at all :(
I hadn't thought to test the runoff, got both buffers as well, will test it tomorrow, thanks legend :-D
