After many delays the plant babies

[IanHale]

Flower day 10.

Did kind of a minor flush I topped off each res 3 days ago with just PH'd water with about 4 gallons each.

pulled maybe 1.5-2 gallons out of each.

Thirsty thirsty girls.

replaced the res water today just before lights out.

I did some more defoliation opening up the inside of the plants to light and trying to bring the lower tips up and the upper tips down.

i lay on my back and took the one looking upward through the canopy with the light visible...artsy lol

The ladies are starting to get their hairs in new and strange places as their bodies go through changes. They're starting to blossom into womanhood.

Flower day 16

all the plants are female and getting bud sites all over.

topping off the tanks tonight and doing a full res change the Monday morning and then final defoliation on Thursday morning as I enter into week four of the 6-7 for flowering

these plants are about 3.5 feet tall and 2.5-3 feet across the tops.

Crazy crazy first grow

A close up of CB1 and an overview of the garden. That vent in the wall is 48" off the ground.

Flower day 19.

Two days away from major defoliation for promotion of bud growth. Almost the entire 42 sq ft is filled with canopy.

CB2 has remained shorter and less thirsty than the other four. Her indica genes are expressing themselves more than in the other plants.

CB1 was starting to tip over so I used a short bungee cord and secured her down to the res lid acrosss the middle of the manifold.

The dehumidifier I got works...but I have to find a solution for the heat.

Flower day 21.

Before and after major defoliation.

i really over vegged these poor girls. All long and lanky

12/12 day 41

[IanHale]

Day 43 of 12/12

one more reschange to go with nutes, then Flush and harvest around day 60

in the mean time the buds are beautiful

[IanHale]

One thing that had been somewhat fun is comparing my 3 strains to the same strains seedsman has been blogging about. It also gave me a better idea of the timeframe from the switch from 18/6 to 12/12.

got give the seedsman folk props for being responsive to questions and clarifications.

Draining the reservoirs tonight after work and flushing them out until harvest on Saturday

[IanHale]

Two weeks ago I trimmed off some larfy lil buds and set them on a shelf and forgot about them.

i don't know which plant they were from.

on a whim I stripped the fans and clipped them down to these tiny lil budlets...

loaded my pipe....


and fuck me...my ears are ringing my eyes are redder than they've been in years and I'm feeling super chill.

harvest day is Saturday...the properly cured and dried end product should melt my face

[IanHale]

Mmmhmm
