So I made myself some CalPhos...

[calliandra]

I've always toyed with the idea of doing an auto in DWC, I've got loads of auto seeds, and one called Red Poison that I've grown before, goes a really nice dark reddy purple colour!
Looks like the Mephisto guys really are the dons of autos!

Yeah and another thing I really like is that they're small and in contact with the growers over on autoflower.net there'S a whole subforum just for their strains and they look at every plant grown from their seeds - you can really feel the love they have for what they're doing - I'm quite a sucker for that kind of thing LOL

Now I'm curious haha - I'll check if I can find Mephistos in DWC next time I'm over there

 

[iHearAll]

And the Pineapple express, doing her frosty thing...
I really like this strain for her yummy pineapply aroma and the light and cheerful high.
And am already thinking of growing her again sometime haha

Here we are, Sour Stomper day 32, standing at 55 cm
she got her 4 first branches LSTed out and sideways a bit more today, so the canopy becomes more rectangular in shape than square - no more space for square!



I like
I hope she realizes she only has a max of 15 more cm height in that closet before she starts getting supercropped? hope I don't have to!

I like too.....LOL, good structure, what cob's you rockin and at what wattage?................I've found that if the temps are stable and you're bud is not directly under the cob, that you can get them very close with no Ill effect. I'm talkin 5-6 inch and they love it, as long as they're not getting the full photon overload directly beneath the cob

Ah thank you for that, it's very reassuring!
I had her under 1 3500K cree cx3590 run at 50W, just added another.
It's great by mistake, because they're arranged diagonally, hence the main cola lines up right between the two.
Whew! I was starting to get scared of her growing that rocket cola that rises up above the rest, her strain often does.

Oh and speaking of lights, I've been thinking of adding some UV?
is supposed to be good for trich development?
You've been experimenting with it too, haven't you?

Hmmmnnn...............well that's probably open for debate, I have added some cheap UV diodes to the lights I've just put up, but how effective they are is anybodies guess. They're aimed at the reef tank community and they're buying them up, so they must be finding them useful. Thing is, even when the lights are up and running, I'll have no real comparison to tell whether they giving any benefit or not.

Not directly, but if you see consistent improvements over previous grows, yes, it'll be experiential, but there is backing, at least in theory, for the addition of those spectra.
I don't feel much urgency in this (yet? lol), so yeah, I'll be checking on your tents too meanwhile
Cheers!

omg that's breathtaking!
You're not a perfectionist at all, are you?
Maaan are your plants going to love you!

The Pineapple Express is no more.

Day 77 and she got the chop.
The sour stomper was pushing her out of the closet big time and her trichs were pretty much milky all around.

Here's to her, in all her deliciously, pineapply, sticky splendour




Budness

Harvest was a sweet gooey affair
161g wet, the main cola alone had 42g




A very resiny affair, though there wasn't much to trim I got nice gooey glob off my scissors
You will be smoked with the greatest respect, pleasure and joy, my dear!

 

[calliandra]

Meanwhile, in the closet, Queen Sour Stomper finally can come into her own

This is her, five full weeks old at day 35, standing 73cm tall



and this is her song

This plant has shown me such an impulsive joy of living, intensely, totally in the moment
"This is it, your only one moment in time, don't be afraid to ever love" is what she was singing these past days ... 50cm growth - in width as well! - in 10 days... you really gotta love life to do that!
not complaining - yet haha

Congratulations on chopping the little monster! She looks so nice, always amazed at how nice your buds look! And it would seem that you have more than doubled the yield from your previous run with PE, Enjoy her!
And I've had that album on full blast today in the van!

The big monster haha, impressive strain this one! Has she started showing any signs of flowering yet, or do you think she will start as soon as she has stopped shooting up? And great song, just listened to it, not heard it before!

 

[iHearAll]

royal blood!

 

[iHearAll]

that looks quite dense and sticky mmmmm

Haha thank you! Yes they are beautiful, I take everything back I ever said against them! This one's not going to get offered to anyone, all miiine and a few very select!

Ah then you had a good day!
I love them!

Yeah I was all sticky afterwards too haha
These buds are going to be nice and hard when they dry, only the very bottommost is a bit fluffy.
So lovely when you literally break a piece of the bud off when preparing, and that explosion of aroma, taking you straight to some sunny beach. Yum!

We just tested the scissors glob - and fell into a time hole lol
Those 40g are going to go a long way I think
Cheers!

 

[calliandra]

So I got to be a real maaan today when I taped up my rollythingamajig


to adapt the light to my bitch of a plant who won't stop growing lol


Standing fucking 82cm tall at lights out lol
At least she's starting to get a little starry now, thinking of things to promote flowering?

hmm...

Well looking at those pistils surely she's going to stop growing and put all her effort into making buds now?! But who knows with that wonderfully weird strain!
And ooooo you've got the quality ratchet hangers that I want for my SCROG screen, i've got 2 for my light but cannot for the life of me remember where I got them from, I thought they came with my old Adjust a Wing reflector. I've just got 4 shite ones for now, where you have to manually press the ratchet feature!

It was a great moment in an otherwise shitty day! Blood Hands, Little Monster and then the slow start to Loose Change which then has the quick key change and massive bass and drums and rift, love it!
