Thundercat's Groooooooow

I love having you guys around. You totally crack me up all the time!

Nachos tonight FYI

I also changed my res tonight, gave them a little bumped up dose of nutes, and flushed some plain water through the pots while I filled my res up. All the girls are looking decent. I have to assume the reason my newest clones are branching so much is from the selective leaf removal. This is making me really mad at myself for doing it. In a different style grow someone would prolly be thrilled with how the plants are looking. I just don't really want branching so they are taking up more space then I'd like. I removed the largest tonight, it was just to branchy and stretched out. I'm not saying it wouldn't have made some nice buds it had a thick stem, but it would have taken up the space of 4 plants. In turn it was also shadowing alot of other plants because it was so branchy. With it gone, and the 3 strawberries out of the tray things are fitting well again. The strawberries I have moved down onto the floor where they are getting light, but are away from the air movement. I'm gonna let them begin to dry right on the plant, and hopefully mature a bit more over the next week. They are nice and frosty so I'll get a little smoke off them I think even if its not great. The CJ is budding up nicely, it won't be a huge yeilder I don't think, but its gonna be DANK for sure. It already smells so good if I brush a sugar leaf! Then there is Cindy, god do I wish all my plants in my tray right now were Cindy she is so pretty. She is bulking up noticeably almost daily. She has just perfect form, and really seems happy with the nutes and environment.

With any luck everyone will be ok with the fresh nutes I put in, and going into week 5 here they really take off!

Hope everyone's weekend is going well!

Peace TC

Shit, came by for a little reading and now I have to go to the kitchen!! I agree TC, a tray full of single cola Cindy's would be beautiful; especially the way you can grow them. Man I'm hungry.

My Sage and Lemon OG are dry enough to taste test today . I will let you all know what I though . Have a great Sunday all!

Have fun in the kitchen greatdane! As always thanks for the kind words. Tonight is gonna either be burgers, or the fajitas I didn't make the other day not sure yet. I did just have a killer turkey sandwich on an everything bagel though. Black pepper turkey, lettuce, tomato, sharp chedder, and mayo simple yet delicious!

That sounds like a nice sunday treat Bleeds! Those were some sweet pics you dropped on stick buds thread too, plants look fantastic bro! I havn't even smoked yet, but I'm about to change that. I think I might tap into my charas today, hehe.

The Sage tastes unreal, the Lemon Og makes you sit on the couch! Made a batch of bubble hash with the lemon OG trim, it has been a great Sunday!

Hope you all are having a great day too!

Thanks for the kind words TC!

Hows that lemon taste and smell, good and lemony? I have been wanting a lemon strain for a few years now, and will be ordering some https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/th-seeds-electric-lemon-g/prod_3570.html soon, unless I can get it at the cannabis cup NEXT WEEK! Woot I'm excited! Are you planning on doing a full smoke report on them as you try them out? You've got such a variety I'd love to read all info .

I did dna's lemon skunk.. i believe it's a parent of lemon og.. the lemonyness is jaw dropping. Probably won't get a nicer smelling weed imo

I have a THC Bomb that is insane lemon diesel! A strong lemon taste and aroma with the diesel finish! mmmm I can't wait for two harvests from now haha

all my shit i grow always smells almost the same, prolly curing it wrong or it dries too fast. Always ends up smelling nice though after a 2 week cure. I just dont know were people get these lemon smells from. When i smell weed it smells like weed lol. Maybe my nose isnt as sensitive than others. idk anyway

comes from limonelle .... just haven't hit those strong ones yet

I've read that about the lemon skunk, and have been close to ordering it. I can't remember the breeder atm but there is also a strain called jemon juice which sounds appealing. The Lemon G I had once while I lived in OH was mind blowing and I havn't had anything lemony since. The Lemon G smelled like someone just zested a fresh sweet lemon. When I saw taht THseeds was selling a version of it I got interested, when I read a few reviews that it actually had the flavor and smell of the original I got real interested.

I'm sorry to hear that 420, I wouldn't say my WW is all that stinky, but a nice fruity kinda smell. The bubba kush though comes with a warning label if any of my friends get any. I have to tell them DO NOT LEAVE it in the car. Twice my buddy has been standing in the line at the dollar store and everyone around him was asking each other if they smelled a skunk or something. He heard one lady say "someone needs to take a shower", funny thing being one of the 2 times he didn't even have anything with him it had just been in his jacket before he walked in. I can tell already the CJ is gonna have a great smell too. I rubbed a sugar leaf on the Cindy last night and I really think it might have some pineapple to it, but I'm not positive yet on that. I do think a nice slow dry has alot to do with the final result. I feel like I get a much better expression of taste when I dry before I trim too.

Better stop rubbing on Cindy,Your bonnie might get jealous.

Hehe I can't wait to really get my hands on her!

get her in your lungs you mean...lol

How do you do a slow dry? Does tables produce airyness like dwc does? I had such a fast dry with my dwc, kinda wishin it would have been slower. Two days doesnt seem like long enough. Theres no problem with the outcome its just that i would have liked more time hanging. I tok off all the leaves though. Could that have been the problem?

Well I suppose so Kite, though I'm eager to see how the nugs end up feeling, if she has the density she looks like she might.

Ninja the key to a slow dry is controlling humidity, if the RH is real low they dry fast, and vice versa if its real high. I aim for 7 days hanging and then a day or 2 in a paper bag after I trim usually. I find that leaving most of the leaves(I do pull off some of the largest fan leaves) on helps control the moisture in the buds as they dry, thus slowing the dry time. When I have trimmed before I dried it always would go faster. If you have a easy way to control the humidity in the drying room then it wouldn't really matter if you trim before or after I don't think. I don't have a well controlled drying area yet, so in the mean time I work around it.

As far as airyness? I'm assuming you are asking if I get airy buds on my tables, in comparison to you getting airy buds in DWC? If I took that correctly then, I have to say it depends. My last harvest as I've expressed I wasn't thrilled with. I had a bunch of foxtailing, and the buds were rather airy. Normally I feel my buds have good density. My WW is a sativa dom hybrid, the BK is a about 50/50 and has similar growth, other hybrids I've ran all have similar density which I don't feel is typically to bad. I'd say on a 1-10 scale about a 6.5 for density. I have ran some strains in my trays, like the strawberry I am currently running and the CJ I've got going that have had above average density in the same tray. Alot of it has to do with strain and how they respond to the room. I also run a 1k light less then 2 ft away from almost all the buds. I'm really eager to see how dense this CJ turns out cus it looks like its gonna be rock solid. The buds aren't getting as big as fast as I guess I was expecting, but she is also supposed to be a 10 week strain so she might just keep plugging along and end up really amazing still. I just noticed the other day some of her roots have started peaking out of the smart pot sides so now that it is starting to root prune seems like it might really take off.(or it might stall its growth trying to grow new roots which I hope doesn't happen.)

Gonna be doing some work on things tonight. I need to take another batch of clones, and put some of my current clones in cups. I've been experimenting the last week leaving a few clones under the dome and feeding them full strength nutes as soon as they had roots. It actually has gone pretty well. They havn't burned and have grown to the size of the dome fast. The roots have been air pruning at the edges of the peat pellets pretty much, but the plants are growing like crazy I supper cropped half of them last night. I was kinda surprised they too the nutes so well. Anyway I'll talk to you guys later on the wife is calling.

Peace Tc

IME airiness and hard buds are almost entirely up to the genetics

IME high temps can also affect density, and by high i mean 90F +

You both are correct, some are because of genetics, and some are because of environmental factors

cheers

I agree but I dont let things get that hot...so IME more genetics
