[Tika]

Got me on that one.
I’m a “servant”. In an infinite process that I did not author, doing my best and that’s it..just keep “mowing the lawn”
And thanks for the fine point of meditation..I love it🤓❤️

will sew a great crop then corn.
For thoughts are seeds of future deeds
and when God thought, the world was born.

Cognacs

well done as usual Tika

[Jibblerjoe]

That's some great stacking. Going to be some big producers

[Tika]

@alltatup..my thought too but couldn’t spell it....🤣😂🤣

[Sheesh]

Hi Tika, plants are beautiful. Looks like you've topped different plants at different nodes. Is that just to try topping at different levels or some other reason?

[Tika]

Sometimes I top once, sometimes twice, some sooner some later....depending on the plant AND
I Wing It. That’s the truth. Seeking an even canopy....Good eye Sheesh and good to hear from you🤓❤️🤓

[Sheesh]

They look happy topping at 4+ nodes. I always top at the 3rd node and results are fine but your plants are beasts.

[furrysparkle]

Beautiful plants indeed!

[Tika]

Gearing up for the new 🌚 seed drop. Mixed coco/perlite, a light rinse with the pre-moistening of water and CaliMagic pH to 6....so clean🤓 All regular seeds . Drop will be in 6x6 plastic pots in root riots and hopefully I can sex before being root bound and put into home 5x5 smart pots. Hope the operative verb, noun, adjective etc. Strains are imaged in pics.
Hugs all around🤓🤗🤓

[Chefbjy]

Magic Cake?? Sounds like an edible 😆. Good luck with sexing 😉.

[Tika]

Chefbjy. Yes the magic cake sounds interesting...off pheno rare tested wedding cake
Are you ready set to go for the challenge?

[Chefbjy]

Yeah it's like the first harvest...waiting so patiently 😆. I have everything set up my final pots are tbd, love doing my own soil 😉. Have fun with those strains.

[Sheesh]

Wow, you're rocking some great looking strains.

[Canuck147]

Man Tika - you are one busy lady. Always fun to watch.

Could be a good nickname - ManTika - sounds like a Charlton Heston flic.

[Tika]

@Canuck147....well...I have so many responses to the above I’m hitting my mute. Yes busy all the fucking time and would love a message and pedicure
Hugs darlin😘

[oldjarhead100]

I think Tika the woman wizard works alot better but I think just plain Tika is best ,you do certainly keep it growing great job

[Tika]

Well: I had to bring the girls down earlier than planned. The robust results from the major defol led to increasing episodes of bud rot due to our humidity so down they came. Today the tent comes down and will be installing another tent. Will do second trimming as they dry.
also dropped 18 seeds on August 9th and by August 14th 17 of the 18 were up 🤓 one seed never did anything. did my usual: premoistened coco mix in pots with pH 6 and 5mls CaliMagic. Put the seed into the rooters and rooters into pots. Will give them their seedling feed via GH GWE Flora Trio today. Well...actually as I look at what feels like a daunting task with the tent clean up & brake down maybe I’ll go feed first😶

[Chefbjy]

Sucks pulling em down early... Been there 😆. It was still killer smoke. I tell the people that tried it, it could have been better if I could have let it go 2 more weeks. They say better?? That's some killer smoke I can't imagine it being better. My wife is being stingy with the gg so I can't really show them what I mean 😉. Weather will favor your next grow 😉 😃 ✌ 💘.

[PuravidaC]

Wow, beautiful plants!!

[Aloner]

Ugh. Bud rot's the worst.Still, another successful -- if not optimal -- harvest. Congrats!

[DrPhoton]

Hey Tika, nice looking plants there. Can i ask you what node do you top at. From a quick flick through the thread it looks like you aim for the 5th or 6th node ? Your uniform growth is excellent!

[Tika]

DrPhoton it depends on the growth... the 3rd to the 5th and May top again. I prefer 4 major colas ( or more) depends on the plant. I compensate with LST for the canopy and obviously defol. Thanks for checking in good buddy🙂

[Tika]

Broke down the 5x9 gorilla (hubbyfuckedzipper tent) today. It’s been a long time without a tent- kinda creeping me out but new one going up next Saturday. My favorite sommelier is helping as zipper engagement with the weight of this wrap is a bitch. Meanwhile the germ is good with 2 funky so I backed up the regular seeds with my fave fems White Rhino and Jock horror - one of each. I am now going to pour a stiff one for the hot bath ( girlie shit) after 5 days of house guests, harvesting, and break down..I’m good for it.
PuravidaC Chefbjy thanks for your support again and always. I am sure the smoke will be good. It is just frustrating not hitting the finish properly. Will be having seed as well but at least they are dark🙄
again...thanks for hanging around😘

[Tika]

WTF is it..the one with no real leaves? The other looks like bug ate it..but didn’t...funny

[Chefbjy]

Idk lol looks like parsley lmao...pic 3 looks like it had a hard time rooting before it started growing leaves...and pic 4 looks like something that was growing in my no till pot the other day next to a big plant 😉. Don't know what it was but just watered it into the soil 😆.

[oldjarhead100]

that is crazy looking tika ,the clones of the stressed out tuts are doing crazy stuff like that

[Tika]

13 days from putting regular seeds ( think they
take longer to pop than feminized seeds...5-6 days regular. 2-3 day’s fems) Doin fine. On second process of dry into pre cure with MintDieselSleven...not huge buds by any means...but nugs go thump when they hit my tray...very very sticky...little but mighty🤓 I do have seed😔

[Chefbjy]

That one pw what's up with that?? Do you have a close up of her? They look very happy otherwise. 🍻

[alltatup]

Bee utiful buds, Tika!! The bud I harvested on my grow with seeds was some of the best.

[Tika]

Should get one there right? Hand packed/practicing

[Californiakid]

Tika your car is one of my favorites. That era put out some fantastic cars ! May I ask you what engine/configuration? Is it all original? Sorry to derail, I've been thinking these questions since yesterday lol.

[Tika]

Californiakid. The Impala was the original...family car...straight six I guess, classic tan. I ended up crashing it on the Nimitz freeway while in the fast lane as someone dumped a bunch of plastic milk cartons from their truck and the traffic went panic batshit.

[Vapo69]

lookin good T....

Tika, a present for you. enjoy

[Tika]

Thank You kingfish! I just laughed straight through....b🤗🤓🤗

[oldjarhead100]

Tika we use the same plant elevators do you remember where we got the multi packs I just found singles for like 10 each thanks

[Tika]

I know we do and they are the best investment I ever made....saves so much time in drain to waste either on the sink or in the tent with shopvac. I bought individually no packs No regrets.
Love ya OJH🤗

[oldjarhead100]

Haha I went down and looked at one I didn't get them on line I found them at HTG supply for 2.55 each I don't know if they have them at that price still I think it was a mistake lol but if they do I'm getting a bunch
