1st grow, bagseed/Iced G./Rocklock/Easyryder CFL(maybe CMH too)
- Thread starter bobhamm
- Start date
sunday pics...first up the 2 I have left...Iced Grapefruit somewhere in its 8th week flower and Coletrain about 5 weeks in flower I think..
and a shot of the IcedG main cola and side bud
and the side bud:
both plants are around 36 inches tall from the soil line, both had about 12 inches supercropped so the main colas are at the back
of the plants.

Nice what are the Trics looking like? I cant wait to see some harvest pics of those big nugs. Ive heard its gonna taste like crap at first because the grapefruit smell leaves until a good 2 week cure
trichs are mostly cloudy/clear 60/40 maybe? maybe more cloudy, a few ambers here and there... plant has no smell, even up close...squishing leaves gets you a little soury smell, maybe a little of what people call "fuel"
on the coletrain, less developed but trichs are going cloudy, mostly clear still...also, the trichs appear shorter than the trichs on the Iced G.? because its more indica?
hers a picture of the trichs in the middle of that Iced Grapefruit side bud from sunday(same picture just zoomed)
tell me what you think, 2 more weeks? I have no experience with how fast they go amber

tell me what you think, 2 more weeks? I have no experience with how fast they go amberdefinitely seeing amber on the side buds, prob over 40% brown hairs on most of the side buds also, Id say the main cola is about a week behind the side buds. Compared to the Easy Ryders I am seeing about 5% amber now I'd say, seems to be centered on the larger sugar leaves right now though, but at leas I see enough that I know theyre coming 
everything moving along swimmingly....moving next thursday and I was hoping the Iced G would be done by then, but barring a miracle ripening its not going to happen, seeing more amber on the older sugar leaves, still less than 10% Id say, not so much on the calyxes shich I think still have to swell up, maybe, well pistils arent really receding yet so a acouple weeks I figure? well, I would have had to move the coletrain anyway so one more wont kill me, still havent figured out the logistics of it, figure a giant box from u haul for the plants then into a tall built in cabinet that will be plenty for the two of them I think, at least for the 2 weeks till Iced G is chopped. It is looking really good this morning, seriously ripening, the dying pistils becoming the predominant thime on the side buds, still less than 50/50 on the main cola so I gues it could be more like 3 weeks? which would take it to 12 weeks from flower.
I dont say much about the coletrain, but its been a very low maintenance plant, nice dark green shiny leaves, good shape, very pretty pplant, full strength nutes it loves, in fact I just gave it a shot of veg nutes, leaves were yellowing a little, colas dont look so hot right now but maybe they will fill out, supposed to be a good yielder, but next to the Iced Grapefruit, its a mite skinny

ok, a few pics this morning, Iced Grapfruit with a cigarette package(100s) for size comparison
first up Iced G full shot:
now comp pics with a cig pack(100s), first the main cola,then,the side bud is actually that very front bud towards the middle and down a little, has a sideways bud right next to it: Main COla
side bud:
and a shot of the quietly progressing coletrain:

awesome grow man, i have 3 easy ryders going now, just in there first week though. what was ur dry weight from ur ER's
thanks! well, we'll see how the rest of it goes
I got at minimum 300 gr wet of both , didnt really weigh it after drying but figure 1/4 or a little less than that after drying so 75 grams? about an ounce, ounce and a quarter off each? these were the tall phen and chopped at 80 days from sprout with very few ambers, could have gone 10 more days Id say.No pics today since I posted some yesterday, looks abiout the same
well, looks like Im moving both the Iced G and the coletrain, hard to say with so little experience, but i have seen hundreds of pictures of plants with thoughts on how old, how long etc. given that, my guess(not my hope certainly) is that the Iced G will go 2 more weeks, possibly 3 but I dont think so, thats to say 40% amber everywhere. Coletrain..... right off the top of my head Id say its been flowering(first pistils after 12/12) for about 5 weeks, Ill check in a little bit, but Id guess 4 weeks, but it is way more indica than anything Ive haad so it could finish faster than the sativas Ive had so far
ok, just checked back in the log and pistils first spotted on IcedG 8/28, all I have noted for the coletrain is that by 9/12 it was in the flowering cab for a week at least, so its almost up to 8 weeks? say 6 weeks plus chnage in case it took a little longer to show pistils, which I think it did... I probably added a week or two to the flowering by supercropping after they were flowering, however at the time, their height was above what the cab could take so you do what ya gotta do.... stalks were too thick for lst, next time I lst ahead of time
PPS: for those who plan on stretch.... all 3 of my non-auto plants(range from very sativa to very indica) were put into flower right around 4 weeks from sprouting, from 5-8 inches tall, the most indica(coletrain) was probably about 12 inches, so it has trpled in size since flowering, Icedg(very sativa) was prob 7-8 inches(4 weeks) and is now about 40 inches tall so 4-5 times stretch, same with the bagseed which is (leafwise) halfway between the other 2 sat vs indica
might as well throw in this pic I just took of the main cola with a ruler next to it, it looks so massive in person..

Nice im switching both mine to flowering as soon as i harvest my Blueberry Dwarf and Road Runner most likely on Thursday
Cant wait before i switch them to flowering should i top them or anything ive just been letting them do their own thingwell, my icedG responded well to supercropping, beside the main cola I have about 10 side buds that are all 3 inches or more, however I woud do your lst or whatever before you start flowering.... and most of the IcedG grows Ive seen have all been right around 10 weeks, not 8 weeks. Just looking at my plant, even though I have little experience so far Id say Id be hard pressed to get ant less than 2 ounces dry, and it wouldnt surprise me if it got to 3 zips maybe....Nice im switching both mine to flowering as soon as i harvest my Blueberry Dwarf and Road Runner most likely on Thursday

Yea your main cola is Beautiful. After a nice cure O BOY lol
cant wait to see the harvest report and final weight keep up the good work. PS my girls are drinking 6-7 gallons of water every 2-4 days i switched them to regular water 3 days ago to flush them out a little before i switch them

well lets keep our fingers crossed, after the bud mold on the bagseed, I give the icedg a thoro inspection every other day
Id say each plant I have left drink about 2 quarts a day? temp in the low 70s, humidity about 45%
just chugging along, move the plants in 2 days, we move the next... unless the smoke turns out horrible( I dont think it should with its heritage(C99/Cinderella X SkunkX white Widow) and I cant really imagine a better yield for my setup... assuming of course things go well for a couple more weeks
