theyre getting stickier by the day & getting that pine-sol smell theyre are still gaining weight so im gonna feed bloom schedule 1 or 2 more times & then start the ripening schedule the buds fed the advance big bud are looking bigger than the others not by much & the final weight will tell the story & harvest is still a ways off but i dont think this is gonna go 70 days at the rate theyre maturing i cant wait until i can try some because im getting every indication that this is gonna be decent to say the least
theyre still fattening up & throwing out new white hairs some of my limbs are bending from the weight so im gonna feed the aggressive bloom schedule while im getting new growth at least for 1 feeding then ill wind it down to the ripening schedule depending how theyre acting in the upcoming week even the bottom stuff thats airy popcorn buds is rock hard little nugs
after looking at the girls this morning im thinking this just might be a 70 day strain as theyre still throwing out new white hairs & gaining in weight the loupe magnifier is gonna be a must as im wanting this to help me sleep mostly so im thinking this could be a 70 day strain for me & im getting excited about trying this in coco/hydro & this time im gonna put rockwool in the bottom 3'' of my 3 gal. smart pots the happy frog is working for now but i like to fill my 10 gal. res. & set the timer to flood daily its easier & gets results jela chopped his at day#61 but im wanting mostly amber trichs im thinking this could be my flagship for a few grows & in the process i should be able to unlock the best this strain has to offer ive started another thread for the hydro grow as this one is very long
i fed the aggressive bloom schedule today & then the ripening schedule is next followed by the flush i took some pics of my lower growth & even it is rock hard pencil eraser size bud nubbins all usable stuff this strain has been a diamond in the rough & has finaly began to win me over here is pics of the lower buds there is not much that wont be hard nugs and to think i almost done away with this strain its turning into everything i wanted when i ordered it & then some & if a strain dont cut it for me ill say so & the reason why after 3 years of back-to-back grows i recognize good when i see it & im gonna go out on a limb here & say this good & pending on how it smokes it might be a tad better than good ive been fighting cutting me off a nug cause its way early but smells so good
this is my favorite time of the year as the weather isnt as hot as july & august but still warm but the heat is winding down somewhat & my plants are really enjoying their nightly cool down & the density of the buds reflects that the leaves are sensative to the spidermite spray i use & as this finishes off the leaves are looking ragged some of it is normal,some of it is from spidermites & some of it is from the spray on a happier note ive seen no new spidermite activity
this is also my favorite time of my grow as buds are nearing final development & the stage is getting set for harvest i took off a bunch fan leaves to allow some light to the lower leaves getting ready to enlargen my room to allow more plants & my 1000w. hps which means im gonna have to build a new place to clone & veg the tray im gonna use has an inside diameter of 30''x42'' its the only one like it ive ran across outside diameter is 36''x48'' my current room is 48''x36'' & i have to have room for air circulate around the sides as my electric heater sits on the floor & the warm air rises up around the ends of ny current homemade 3x3 tray so to make the new one work ill have to widen my room by at least 1 ft. i have a 4x4 tub but outside diameter is 52''x52'' & its too wide as my room is under an overhang on my back porch & the wall would block a window in one of my bedrooms that doubles as a fire escape & cant be blocked as that would effect my property insurance so my goal here is to run 8 plants in a 48''x48'' space & train my canopy & replace a tower oscillating fan thats in one corner with a clip on oscillating fan mounted above the plants my reflector has 4'' ducting ill be putting in a 6'' equipted hood & use 2 -6'' duct fans 1 pushing & 1 pulling ill still be using my 10 ga. reservoir this should pick up my yields considerably i originaly started with a 400w. hps & grew 5 plants in soil & 5 gal. buckets & for 3 years its been back to back grows so im way passed due for modification i have all the equipment laying around so hopefully i can do the upgrade in 1 day im also looking at dna cannalope kush to grow alongside the skywalker & if its better phase it in the skywalker has those wide 3 fingered leaves that at times are mutated that ive grown to like so im expecting the next grow to be way different both in method & results
Looking good herk....mine is drying incredibly fast...probably have it in jars tomorrow. Smoked a piece of bud that I accidentally snipped off when trimming....tastes like hashish!
hey jela ive been watching your thread all i can say is WOW im really impressed with your grow medium & lights leds are where all the new technology is developing i remember when ufo's were the in thing theyve came a long ways since then
as this winds down the other grow is powering up harvest gets closer by the day its looking like next grow is gonna be 8 plants in 3 gal smart pots in coco so ive some work ahead of me
today is day #44 of 12/12 theyre getting frostier by the day im shooting for 70 days but theyre advancing fast jela chopped at day 61 i think but im shooting for something to sleep on so longer & amber leaning trichs is my goal
i snapped a few pics this morning & the pics dont do it justice im gonna have to read the user manual that came with my camere as im not good with electrical gadgets im not getting good shots of the frost theyre building up & the hairs are receding & the calyx's are swelling ive got a gang of rock hard nugz here that look like theyre gonna be potent im real curious as to the potency level of this stuff as its showing a lot of promice at day #45 of 12/12 making me real excited about bigger room more plants ,hydro & bigger light i had just bought a new eye hortilux blue enhanced bulb for my 1000w. hps now ill put some hours on it
its been 12 days since i cloned & ive got some of the babies showing roots & so far ive got 100% survival rate it usualy takes 3 weeks i cloned these at a friends house & used his clone gel im gonna have to find out what brand it was as im happy with the results i normaly use the shultz powder & up to now its been my favorite this knocks a week off my process im gonna give them their first feeding tonight the main grow is realy advancing & once again im questioning if theyll make 70 days as im expecting relatives in early oct. i might have chop early
i cant beleive the how fast these are ripening up i got in late from work last night & didnt look at them i figure 1 feeding of the ripening schedule & its time to start flushing its still pitch black dark out but i snapped pics any how i know its early but im gonna pull out my loupe magnifier & look at the trichs im betting my harvest is gonna happen before company arrives gonna probably chop around oct 5th. all of my clones have taken & 8 of 15 already have roots protuding out of the bottoms of the blocks definatly gotta feed & remove dome this week end
