The AltarNational Garden

That's about what I get in half gallon container. When I have seedlings I don't much care for or extra. Clones I sometimes throw a couple half gallon pots in there. The most I ever got off that was 10 g.

correction just noticed...monkey balls is purp pheno of deep chunk from tom hill

sweet tooth is curing nicely and buds are starting to topple under their own weight in the main chamber... that's a good sign... lol. Been adjusting the ties to keep them upright... home stretch on the C99's, another couple weeks and they'll be finishing hopefully... I wanted to have them harvested in time for me house guests comin' on the 20th... gonna be a tight squeeze with my long ass 10-12 day dries, haha.

Supposed to be 8 weeks on the 30th of this month based on my estimations... and that doesn't really reflect the growht, I would say they've got to go atleast another week before I'm even close on the C99's, which are supposedly an 8 week strain, lol. We'll see... the raspberries look just about as far along, really... we'll see, I might be harvesting six at once when the time comes... ohhh boy, lots of trimming, lol.

When I did raspberry cough. It was 10 weeker. Then crossing it with master kush made it a 9 weeker. Just popped some seeds I had when from crossing rc with king Louis viii og (male). C99 should be done at 8 weeks. Ive seen some finish in 7. Not my grow though. Phenos vary in flower time sometimes.

Yeah, the seeds said 10 weeks for the rasp and 8 for the c99's... the raspberries seem on schedule, but the C99's seem to be behind the quoted time frame to me... indeed, I wasn't expecting exact results, haha. In fact I've come to expect about 2 weeks longer than quoted per strain...

IMO all that info on the banks about a strain from the breeder is the "keeper" you want to look for.. just my opinion and how i view it. unless the strain is an IBL then all that info is deemed "chance pick"

I'm hoping to cut the C99's in about ten days or so... raspberries I'll let go a bit longer... really playing it by ear though, I'd like to see more swelling in the C99 calyxes before chop, so I'm just waiting for that swell up.

As you can see i have lost a lot of fan leaves, lol. But the buds are literally toppling over under their own weight, so I got that goin for me, lol.

Hey as long as they buds are looking good who cares about the leaves lol. But nah you'll be fine your close enough to the end that it shouldn't matter.

Nice looking results Altar. Let the trichs tell you when.

Good luck,

JD

Sup y'allz... I ended up harvesting everything over the last three weeks, staggered... did them with gaps in between to make it easier to harvest. Results were reasonable but not mind blowing.. save for the one I grew in the orange bucket, which did yield significantly more... there was some major unevenness to the health and/or genetic quality, but glad i got what I got out of the deal... totals:

First C99: 40g
Second C99: 30g
Third C99: 44g's

First Raspberry: 30g
Second Raspberry: 37g
Third Rasp 3: 58g

Totals at 239g... which is not terribly impressive for the amount of light involved... but is still my best harvest.

I slacked on taking harvest pictures but I kept buds in as large form as possible so I can come back and photograph some of the nicer ones later.

Congrats on completing the cycle!

Yield aside, it looks like you have some very nice smoke.

Onward and upward,

JD

Psst... sup guys... anyone kickin? Back again... this time I decided to keep it real simple and just did a simple LST with a single tie down of each plant at a nice young age... then later on I lost my stunted herijuana plant to hermying, so I closed the gap in the canopy (it was in the middle) by pulling the main colas of the four remaining plants into the center space together. That is the extent of the training this time. No topping at all. Went for the other extreme end of the training spectrum, since I did the top-and-train-heavy mainlining method last time.

Anyway, a few details...

From seeds:
-1 Cinderella 99 feminized
-2 Sannie's Kolossus
-1 freebie Northern Lights X Northern Lights from Sea Of Seeds

Medium:
-A simple worm castings, peat moss, perlite, and lime mix, with a good dose of compost tossed in as well to supplement.
(3 gal, smart pots)

Nutes:
-Earth Juice organic liquids (Grow, Bloom, Catalyst primarily, adding microblast and meta-k once during veg and once during flower)

Lights:
LED: GrowNorthern ms0006 overhead
T5: Two 4-bulb 48" banks, one on each side. (Flora Suns, Coral Waves, and proprietary 660 bulbs)

Vegged long enough to get a good few inches for the first LST, got them comfortable in their new positions, then flipped to 12/12.

Obviously I did not upkeep an account here throughout, but I thought I'd throw these up as I've come into the home run and the exciting part... I'm amazed at how much they bulked up over the last week alone... seed guidelines state about 2-3 weeks left for all four... not sure I buy it on that Kolossus that still has all white hairs somehow...!

Anyway, here's what I've got so far at two days past 7 weeks... this is (I believe) my fifth grow so far and I think these are the healthiest I've kept a batch of plants so far, at least this far into flowering. Pretty happy with the results so far. The next 2-3 weeks will tell all though.

Pictures I took... gonna try to find a way to diffuse lighting so that I can take better shots during the next couple weeks. In the mean time...

Here's a slideshow of all the pics:

looking forward to seeing how much more they bulk up over the next 2-3 weeks...

I'm still subbed to this thread. Good work altar. Nice to see you back too.

Sup man... I am elusive, I still lurk... haha.

Just thought I'd share what I'd been up to as of late! I like this LED really. I wish the foot print was more even for sure... it's working pretty well though. Two or four of them would be crazy. I'm thinking more like combine it with HID though... that'll be my first project when I get into a space with better wiring...

still here bro welcome back happy new year and such!

Those are monsters!
