Tika’sGarden of Earthly Delights

[Tika]

Three weeks into flower: the Borderline continues to bush up and got defoliated again but doesn't look it. I'm glad I only have 6 rather than 8 plants in the tent this time-considering I trained wide and sure as shit got wide. Pleased with the amount of buddies on the Aurora indica and White rhino. The wagonettes-Jock horrors- have been subject to ridiculous winds and too cool temperatures...They remain determined. All need to be fed every other day which seems a bit early but the humidity is in the 40s so they are getting what they ask for.
Hope your weekend is a fine one😊

Wagonettes makes me think of an early Motown female trio. Like the ronettes... something I’d hear riding in the car with my folks when I was a kid 😀

[Tika]

Yup! Somewhere I got the echo..Am that old😁

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous! I would expect nothing less from you!! Quick question... you mentioned not looking forward to a strict 12/12 light schedule. Why don't you use a timer?

[Tika]

You are too kind PuravidaC. 🤗🤗 my word: anything I do well is backed up by my multiple major screwups !!!!
I initially tried timers but: the tent still needs to be opened and closed and ports adjusted to deal with heat / humidityAND our power company has frequent enough electrical surges / outages and since I found that my surge protector turned the lights ON during one of those in the early morning..Like lighting my tent up very early and since it was closed down..It also got hot! so when it's lights off the surge protectors are off too and the timers gifted to someone.
Recently our company due to a bad street line fried my 4 fluorescents and two surge protectors. Luckily they reimbursed me for all🤪

[Paracelsus]

You are a true farmer who needs that newfangled technology.

At 25 days after flip- almost 4 weeks old - a very promising White rhino 😊

Beautiful!

Wow, nice trichomes!! How far above the plant do you keep your lights in flower? I have a Platinum LED as well and they recommend 18" and that's where I was staying, but then through the bloom stretch, they grew to about 15.75" away. I bumped it up a bit and the tallest buds are now at the 15.75" distance again. I don't see anything wrong, but should I raise them up to 18" to be safe? I'd hate to get light burn now this late in the game. I've got the Exhale CO2 bags in there and I guess I was under the impression, with more CO2, they can handle more light. Maybe I can finish at this distance. Just curious to your setup for that much trichome development at only 25 days after flipping.

[Tika]

I seek 18" BUT as you say some collas are taller. I go for the mean usually bleaching out a bud or two on the top. Some people really like the bleached ones.... And I have aswell- found some shorter busy varieties like 15"... Just gotta read the plants. Since I defoliate to some degree I want that light down in there too🙃 I love my lights! Not a single regret!

Been a bit of activity: week 4of flower. Week 4of veg
honeysticks all needed transplanting! Put into 2 gal smart pots (Hoped I could top and sex in the 5x5x6 plastics but no! ) Had to get 2 more 4 foot T5s to accommodate ...Had house guests again...Which complicated my transplanting only in that one likes to sleep in and do makeup before leaving the veg room..Note: make up is always done best in natural light so get up and go outside and take your time. I was in the business in San Francisco..Glued my fake eyelashes on ONE at a time..Makeup took 5 hours...or- hey..Just don't bother.
Anyway...( Had to rant that non growing unit)...The wagonettes (Jock horrors) are now roughing it totally outside. I move them around all day where sun shines best but they can't go into the back room anymore until I top/sex the honeysticks. StronGGG plants but I feel bad..rain, freeze...So unusual for here..Even 7" snow just 30 minutes up the hill (wtf).
The short-term all are alive and well including me which is just shy of a miracle...Now doing laundry.
Cheers all

[Paracelsus]

[oldjarhead100]

amazing Tika I hate stairs as well we live on second floor of a two family and if you go out the back it 3 flights .So once I go out I don't come back in otherwise I'm done lol

Oh and that comment about it being over well it did melt from then but this last storm we got about 18 inches dam dam dam chickens hate it when they are stuck inside but they dont like the snow much either lol

[Tika]

Weathering the Weather Wagonetts (jock horrors). Sweet Thangs😊

[GRAND]

Wow the 3rd plant has such ni:e colors! Which is it my dear....I love to grow the WAcky colored ones! always agood grow and journal with u!

[Tika]

@ GRAND these are the two ( nowoutside ) Jock horrors from Nirvana. . Didn't intend them to be outside/inside but we'll...I think the purple us due to cold although the other is green. They are like prehistoric plants right now...Getting most unsuitable attention . Inside in the tent past grown x3 always a good crop/ uppie high. Strange ( no f......g kidding bud structure) and color. I've tried to grow purples on purpose...Always by accident. Think God Bud in doors, high thc , low yield and always strange in color. Pics here and THANKS for hanging with me😊

[Paracelsus]

I usually hate this expression because people say it without really having one. Oh my god that is beautiful

[Tika]

I posted God bud in two journals...Swore I would never do her again...Each time. Exotic structure & color, low yield and huge thick leaves, large mushroom topped trichomes . I can blind sniff GB open the jar and I know who she is. One day I will although swore other wise will grow a tent dedicated to her and bitch the whole time.

[Tika]

PS...They will give you a good baking👨🏻🍳👨🏼🍳👩🏼🍳👩🏾🍳👨🏽🍳
