They are beautiful ladies.
And you're a beautiful man ;)

Thanks for the kind words, friend!

Lookin mighty fine! I can only hope on mine. Only one week into 12/12.
Thank you sir! You should start a thread on yours - lets see your babies! I see you've been a member since 2016, about time we post our first thread! lol

Mighty mighty fine! An inspiration to all of us in early flower!!
Much appreciated man! Your ladies are looking nice as well!

Hey ya'll

What's going on you beautiful people? It's Saturday again and time for another update! We've successfully completed 7 weeks of flower and are nearing the end of our journey.

As some of you may have seen, I found a bouquet of nanners on a nug on one plant (as well as a rogue solo nanner on the top). Through consulting with various users here, we've identified 2.9EC was wayyyyy too much. Been doing just water since the discovery of nanners.

I also have decreased the amount of water I am giving these, going from 6L down to 3-4L.

Can't speak on what is going on with the front plants, though my buddies plant on the left is looking nice!! Last pic is that plant.

These strains quoted 8 weeks of flower from ILGM. I don't think any of these are going to be done in a week. I'm suspecting another 2-3 weeks minimum. What do you think? How long do you think these ladies have? (just for general conversation, I'm not rushing these).

My plant on the right is starting to throw some pretty fall colors and becoming little disco balls which is dope.

Thanks for following me along on this journey! Comments, questions, etc welcome.

Plants look good but dam that's a very long grow!!
Yeah bro, we got stunted early on with environmental issues plus going straight from germ to 5 gallon pots. Won't be doing that again. Also won't be doing 16 cola mainlined plants with such limited vert space. I'd say with the environmental issues and going straight to 5 gal we probably added 2-3 weeks onto our grow.

Appreciate the kinds words, brother.

Hey ya'll,

We have successfully completed 8 weeks of flowering with minimal issues along the way! Plants are looking nice and nearing the end of their lives.

We are starting to see less white pistils and more pistils beginning to retreat back into the calyx's. Plants are swelling nicely and increasing thc production, most noticeably on the Bruce banner (which has been bulking like mad, too).

Looks like potential harvest window could be the end of next week till the week after. I took a look at the buds with a microscope, seeing still a decent amount of clear and cloudy, maybe just a few single trichs here and there beginning to amber out. I'll upload trich pics later.

We've stopped feeding and have been leaching with pH'ed water. Partner cut his lights down to 50% intensity. I cut mine down to 90% (in hopes to slow down the foxtailing and take some heat out of the room)

We're almost there guys! Thanks everyone for the input along the way. Only a little bit of time left!


Comments/Questions/input welcome.

How much you guestimate aa dried yield
Hey there bobdagrowah (cousin of the builder, I assume? :P )

I am using my last grow as a measure for how much I'll get. I yielded 7g per stalk last grow so that is the minimum I would want for my plants (this grow is separated, the back plants are mine, the front are my buddies)

For just my plants:
So 7g/stalk minimum @ 50 stalks is 350 - minimum.
Hopefully I have improved from last grow (and I do believe I did) - I am estimating 400g on the conservative end, 440g as an attainable goal (just under 1lb)

What do you think? I don't want to estimate yield on my buddies front plants to avoid a yield contest lol

Hey ya'll

My growing partner wanted me to update you guys that he has chopped two of his three plants. The first one on the block was his bruce banner which had a killer manifold. The second he harvested is believed to be his Black Widow which didn't receive the same staking love the other plant got and was a result as flopping all over the place lol

. We've got the dry tent set up for as close to 60/60 as we can get. Should hang there for 7-10 days before going into jars.

Comments/Questions/advice welcome.

Thanks!

Ah man those are beautiful, especially the banner, but so many white pistils still.

I bet another three weeks would’ve been sick.

Yeah, luckily I convinced him not to chop what he thinks to be his Skywalker OG plant (the front left plant in the previous posts, you can see two nugs in the first picture here).

I still have all 3 of mine in the tent, doing nicely. The black widow (back right) looks like it will be the first to be ready, followed by the middle Skywalker OG and then finally bruce banner (left). My bruce's pistils haven't even retreated yet, though they have all browned out besides a few upper node rogue white pisitls (last pic).
