Looking dam good. That there are some large ass colas! Should make close to a 3/4 pound with all that!

If I got that I would be very happy. 3 zips a plant would be plenty! I have no idea what the junior misses are going to do. They are forming bud sites aplenty and since they were very branchy to begin with they kind of auto-topped themselves, so I should have multiple kolas instead of the big central one that really interferes with getting lights down on the side branches.

Today is day 40 and they don't seem even close to done; all hairs are still white, maybe a trace of tan in there. It's a race against my dwindling stash lol.

Maybe 2 more solid weeks and cut cut. More colas mean more trimming when its times to cut off the fan leaves and nugs.

ok bro very nice!!!!!!!!!!!

is that only perlite??

how often do you water?
Click to expand...
Yup, just perlite. I water every 5-7 days. I may water more often in the future to maintain a more stable pH. I think that's why I have so much damaged foliage. Current hypothesis anyway.. . .

I'm thinking two weeks til I start flushing. 4 more weeks would be ten total. I'm not pulling these early.

I'm going to do the period of darkness right before harvest. I have no reason to believe that is anything but a myth, but it can't hurt, right?

I transplanted my oldest clone to a 5 gallon bucket. She will veg for the foreseeable future providing cuttings as needed.

She's a shy young thing:roll:

A little algae never hurt anything:mrgreen:

When my clones finally figured themselves out, they were extremely branchy, as if I had repeatedly topped them even though I hadn't touched them. So I'm flowering them now and I expect them to have multiple colas. They would have made great moms on account of all the branches. Also, they are stretching quite a bit so they won't be that short either. I'll be posting some new pix of them later this week.

I think you meant to post this in your thread about clones, but must have been looking at my journal to see if I knew what I was talking about!:bigjoint:

Week 8 begins tomorrow. I fed them today and I think it will be the last time for the three big girls. Lots of pistils turning tan and not so many new ones showing up and trichomes rapidly going cloudy. I'm thinking 10 days. Unless today's feeding gooses em up. . . .:leaf::leaf::leaf:

I am about to sample a pinch:bigjoint:

Damn bro, you're Mister Greenjeans himself!!

Truly a beautiful grow!! :clap:

LOL. Thanks. I described myself as marginally competent in my last grow journal and then promptly nuked my plants with ferts. Hard lessons learnt are the ones that stick!

I've been much more cautious this time and I'm pretty pleased! And it's now semi-perpetual, so I'm back-patting a lot on this grow.

how about a update with the 'whole of the op' pictured... i read ur current specs, but havn't seen any good pics that let me get the big picture... and maybe a recap of the footprint that you are using (lights/area) pretty please and thank you and subscibed.

do the Hempy Collective proud !!!

oh, and if you don't already do it... you might toss some h2o2 in with all of ur water when you water, it might help to keep the algae down. maybe there is a better product for this... i've always wondered if the algae killer for fish tanks works, especially the kind that says its safe for aquarium plants.
