The AltarNational Garden

ebay fees are so exhorbitant now that it effectively kills the profit margin that could usually be found in reselling something used a lot of the time... and on top of that they've implemented an arrangement with paypal and now paypal holds payments until the buyer verifies they've received... which sounds great on paper but results in sellers getting ripped off now instead... so in creating a buyer friendly environment they've sort of created a seller-hostile environment for anyone who isn't a business just using ebay as a front like amazon...

Dude I remember staying home sick watching MTV music videos when I was younger.

Now you can tune into 16 and slutty...

Gardens looking good AltarNation

How's it going altar?

Good... C99 just about dry... trimmed everything up, got a very nice 46g's when I checked. Same plant before the reveg and scrog produced 26g's. Got some pics while trimming but I dunno how good they are, I'll have to check em out.

I hit the 9 week mark on monday... Kolossus is supposedly 9-10 weeks. Last round I harvested K1 a little earlier... then k2, then NLxNL, if I recall correctly.

I'm still doing a sort of fractional harvest on the rest too so we'll see what happens. I left some bud on the C99 so I'll leave some bud on the others too, at least for a little while, while I'm getting the next round vegged a little.

I popped two cheeseberry haze seeds just to see what it's all about. I also popped all the clones that made it into solos cups and juice containers... soon I'll start looking at my soil and seeing what my options are, how far I can stretch it... and try to figure out what I"ll actually grow out next as I have a decent little collection of clones on hand now too. Going to do a minimal veg and go into flower as soon as the flowering chamber is clear.

Fuck ya bro! I'm currently rebuilding my stock haha.

Kolossus is getting crazy close. I can't believe the size of some of the top buds...

Let's see some shots of that bitch!!!!

Hm, I think there's some on my camera... I will take new ones tonight too. I'm keeping an eye on the trichomes, they are frosting up like crazy. The amber presence is all but undetectable... I mean I've found some but it takes some hunting. I don't think 30x is strong enough for my eyes.... gonna have to get a usb microscope

I'll find my camera in a bit and see what I can get up for ya.

9 weeks was monday... they are quoted at 9-10 weeks. I think the second pheno will go past 10 though. The first pheno (christmas candy smelling) is the one that's about ready to pop.

I'll be waiting....

Diesel coming in:

20 image limit, denied! Kolossus in next post...

Kolossus #1:




(sorry for the cat hairs... argh... they're never visible til the pics... gonna have to go in and clean up)

Great shots

thanks mang... the kolossus can probably go another week, I admit, but it's hard to resist with it being so frosty now...

The kolossus always has such pretty colors for pistils and makes golf ball sized nugs. I need to acquire her again.

Yeah I love the look of Kolossus, and the crazy every-directional rosebudding effect that effectively doubles the size of the buds... yowsa... good stuff.

I went ahead and chopped her down. I got some harvest pics comin soon.

First hanger:






Second hanger:





There was a third hanger but I didn't fill it out and it was just small buds so I didn't bother shooting it. Few other smallies on a dry rack below... and some to test in the dehydrator...


Two down, four to go... shifted the LED angle so that it hits the central area of the remaining plants. Takes some of the seriously UMPHy area off those beautiful Nor'Easter towers, but it's providing more direct illumination of the remaining plants so I think it's worth it. I also popped the Diesel in the middle-front to catch the opposite side of the LED's outer glow.
