The AltarNational Garden

I did a stupid thing: I put the shorter flowering strain in the back. Whoops. Harvest will be an interesting challenge.

Pics above are at six weeks and a day... 43 days.

Looking good alt, just James Bond that shit to get the back ones

Haha... I really have no idea, that might be the best approach actually... suspend myself and lean over, lol. Then I'd have to cut out evey cola through the net one at a time or something... I like getting my stem structure out in one piece when possible (so I can marvel at it, lol) but might not be able to in this case. Ah well, I'll take a boatload of buds instead

Some new pics... I switched the fluoro bulbs around so the brighter one's in the foreground, which improved the photo-friendliness of the situation a bit. Still not ideal but better... anyway, here's some:




this fruitier pheno of Kolossus, always such pretty buds:


"Nor Easter" clone in the middle growing some nice chimneys:



The "other" Kolossus: ...


I think this is C99:


This is Kolossus 1 again I think


This is the late arrival Diesel clone that I got into flower bout two weeks behind the others


The fan leaves are trichomed out on it:



Pretty impressed with the vigor on the Diesel even if it does stretch like crazy... might try to reveg a mother out of the deal...

Those are some pretty flowers AN!

Do you use any special PK nutes during flower?

I use earth juice's liquid organic line and I follow the common tek that's floating around... includes using Meta-K and Microblast a couple times per flowering cycle for a boost of K and micronutrients... for extra P I just add more bloom. I basically follow this guide almost to the letter and it's highly effective:

Argh... I want to buy something to superiorize my vaping experience... I have a little money to throw around for the first time in ages and I'm sick of hitting my solo through my tiny bong... considering dropping the fat dime for a sublimator... only alternatives I'm considering at this point would be the Cloud EVO... or save a few bucks and get a used volcano off ebay... the sublimator is super tempting even though the jury's still kind of out on it... I'd LOVE to try one first...

Trying one first sounds wise....look into that.

Good luck!

Hahaha... I have no idea how I'd get a chance to try one! It would be cool but not likely, as so few people are buying them. But I ache for thick dab-like vapor rips from herb. That would be heaven.

I watched the Weed Dudes video where he smokes a Sublimator.

He gets baked....and this is someone whose tolerance must be high.

Some day maybe.

I took down C99 at 54 days to attempt to hit that sweet window. It took four hangers but there were more small buds which takes up more space per weight so who knows. Last time I had more big buds, but really just had one central big bud. This time I know I pulled at least 2-3 big suckers, plus a lot that were a little smaller.

On the other hand, last time I had some good cola depth/definition because of my open design and this time there's not much cola depth (not surprised, considering how thick the monster cropped canopy was--I probably should have done more trimming) so it's all up to dem top buds to make weight. We'll see how it works out. I really feel like these plants took off more this time than the first round, but we'll see if the veveg ends up being a hindrance due to the crowded scene...

They really do branch insanely when you monstercrop/reveg. Some extra branching is great but past a certain point it's too much for the space. I could have easily covered more space with these plants if I had the room and light coverage, but had to work with what I had.

None the less you can see the dense undergrowth with what I left to keep developing below. There was a lot of popcorn and I tried to trim just shy of anything that was solid, but sometimes took a little too much I think. None the less I'm going to leave what remains for another week or so, maybe harvest when I take the rest down.

Anyway here's a few harvest pics... I didn't take very good ones... I'll take better ones during trim.

Before: (not right before, but last one I could scrape up)


After: (sorry for the flash)


Clearcut Closeup:


I filled four of these with buds of various size:


Plus the tray at the bottom in the next pic...

MacGuyvered a great drying chamber out of this soft vinyl clothes storage bookshelf thing I got from ikea. The thing is practically a grow tent, being made of metal rods and vinyl. I just pulled a shelf out and used the rod at the top to hang my hangers from... It's black, even has ventilation slots in the back by chance. I threw one of those "doorway fans" they sell to help circulation inside and it's kicking air around in there. Pretty steady around 55-60% RH, should give me a nice long dry.

Looking good altar!

Hope all is well bro, you ever talk with poly anymore?

Thanks man... I don't think I've seen him around much, haven't heard from him! I was staying in touch with Sincerely420 on the strainhunters forum but I forgot my own login over there, haha.

Click to expand...

I was wondering where he was at as well!

Doing pretty well overall... learning the ropes of staying sane with a newborn in the house. A lot of fun! I am allowed a lot of time to fuck off and vaporize so it's all good. I love having a kid but I still love fucking around in the garden and vapin' too... heh.

I'm gonna get a fast delivery method soon, something that I can rip fast... maybe a sublimator, or maybe just a heavy duty bong vape solution like the cloud evo... that way I can stay high while keeping up with the kid once he starts running around, lol.

I trust all is good in the hood?

A lot of people bailed after the site went down and came back up. I took a hiatus myself, but cautiously inched back in.

Yea I know where a few of them are but didn't 420 leave before the site went down?

Yea bro all is good and damn I didn't know you had a kid! It's been a min since we've talked bro

Currently I am inching my way to this harvest.. got a little dispensary weed (too expensive! They should call it the expensary!.. ... ) and I got a local growing friend who hooked up a couple quarters at good prices. His stuff is pretty good. (He gave me the Noreaster and Diesel clones)

Still got that itch... kinda wanna get me a high grade delivery method to go with my new crop... haha. It's seriously hard to decide whether or not to order the Sublimator. There's a pretty good deal on the older model (which seems to work quite well from what i've seen) --also, good deal if you compare it to the other models anyway... ... and the cloud evo ain't no easy purchase either... ticket prices around 440... though I found one on ebay around 330 new. I've heard some funny things about them not supporting warranties or something. Also, it's not a sublimator, which I really want to try.

But I digress...
