Did another MAJOR defol yesterday...like I thought I might throw up- at one week into flower. Already did one. I have LEARNED that the plants come back with a vengeance but still...and still it doesn’t look like much but was a heaping sink fill plus lollipoping. Ended up also doing lst as I do hVe stretch going on as well. We shalllll seeee.
happy Saturday friends

[oldjarhead100]

[kingfish]

"Garden of earthly delights" indeed.

[Tika]

Hi folks
here we are again...post 2nd major defol at nearing 2 weeks in flower. Note the WIDE-takes her own lamp plant. Note my ( stupid I know HEART ) pistil configuration on my ONE MagicCake....got my canopy more or less, stretch will continue for at least a week. Eager to take top view ( I won’t crash & burn @alltatup) with the SLR canon one morning. Keeping the feed simp,e..not even terminator this grow....plain GH trio plus Liquid Kook Bloom to see how it goes.
the previous Cognac has good input and will retire on her this eve.
warmest regards all around
kingfish probably for the umteenth time..where are you located?

looking great Tika

[alltatup]

Tika Interesting experiment with your nutes on this grow: why did you decide to do that? You're just comparing results without all the extra nutes?

[Vapo69]

Everything looks brilliant T.......:-)

[Tika]

Thanks guys🎩@9fingerleafs and @Canuck147🤗🤗🤗🤓

[Tika]

Understanding that all peeps have a weekend other than mine - just the same -when it does come-wishing you well.

I have a long earned Friday “off” and rather than spend it on the three days coming chores
I:
shot the tent in process
hugged my pistils, made serious butter/ cookies for people I owe, and fixated on white pumpkins ( don’t care for orange) . Last photo: $6.99 pumpkin, $15.00 lights, Moss from trees next door and the sticks...priceless cannabis sticks
🤓🦋🤗. Dumb I know...grapes my humor
much love

Decided to make a new entity since #4 journal grow is complete although journal abandoned simply due to lack of time.
Here we are in day 34 of veg with 14 plants. 8 will go to the flowering tent and the rest outside- if nothing else to see what happens. The plants are all the same age but keeping the back-ups in the 5x5 plastics obviously stunted their growth. Made the decision yesterday to hang 2 fluorescent lamps in the flower tent and establish 4 more 5 gal plants. The remaining two...will see..maybe just put them into Roots Organic sacks outside early..again to see what happens.
today is time to LST. I have topped once and will top again. I must say that the Grandaddy purple produces HUGE fan leaves! And is a riotous strain so far..robust.

Grandaddy purple known for bud rot and WPM is forcing me to use Regalia- biofungicide. 1 Root ball treatment in veg, in transition and in flower. It tests out organic. Expensive shit I must say. But given I have 5 GDP I’m going for preserving the real estate.

Short shot on strains: 5 GDP (Ken’s Original), 3 Ayahuasca purple (Barney’s Farm), 3 Dinachem ( Dina), 1 Cotton candy (Delicious seeds gifted 2 me), 1 Amnesia lemon (Barney’s Farm gifted to me), and 1 Blueberry headband..gifted to me.

that cool little greenhouse I posted in journal #4 is a screaming pieceofshit. My son ( on a rare visit) and I pitched it and fault after fault in construction) once done- I cut it down and drove it to the dump. 1 hour round trip and $40 dump fee. Plan B under construction ( in my head).

Ok- time to administer the first edition of wires to the bigger girls.

hope you are having a good weekend.

Support your joy

Tika that makes me laugh... I can relate to best intention projects...So how long did you guys spend waiting in line at the dump....Hard to quite those build thoughts when your trying to go to sleep.... cheers

[Tika]

Let’s see here....as that was a wAys back ...indeed. So...I didn’t have to wait at the dump (thank goodness) , donated my next kennel idea for greenhouse to wonderful dog friend, then got wagons,..The Wagonettes . That loupe should be entertaining 🤗. I may reregister as “HardWay” on gwe. Totally from the bottom up changeofpace2014 🤓

[Tika]

#PurpleWizard -my silly gone wide girl (of2) Both are ahead of the game in their bud size at 18 days from flip. #GoblinPunch & #MagicCake doing just fine.
Have a great week all🤓🤗

[oldjarhead100]

Tika Girls are looking great , so to make things legal here in Mass. you have to secure your plants by fencing them in , I went to lowes bought 1 50 foot section of chain what poles I needed one of those pole driving things and wrapped my girls up ,I think total it was around 250 not sure there are pics on my post if you want to check it out was 25 Sunday night and the girls are still doing fine

[Tika]

Hi folks...day 25 from flip...just moving along after 2 major defols, more LST and seriously hoping I’m done with the stretch as it is a tad bit difficult hauling them out of the tent. The PurpleWizard had the largest buds thus far and now in the purgatory of after stretch to mid bloom. My humidity is uncontrollable so fingers crossed. Provide nutrients still on the feed-no feed-no feed -feed schedule sucking up 1.5 gals + per 5 gal pot.

on an other note : my beloved “kid” ( of multiple mentions in my journals). who has worked at my hydro store for 8 years (45 minutes away) is not going to be available as the store is “closing” ( yes I can text him but...) all my special needs, requests, questions, orders on time and right will no longer be available to my spoiled ass. It has been the KID and GWE. He is the kind of guy -when you ask a question- he starts providing the answer and your jaw drops in awe....mind like a steel trap. He has always refused onsite advise BUT he needed to fill a financial gap ( after 2 weeks notice with wife and 2 young children) so he agreed to lay some brick for me and finally yesterday saw my grow space for the first time!. I know his future will be better & more compensated and mannnny folk are in my same kind of yank on a larger scale. Anyway...wish him well please. He is a good man. If I can attach I will image of brick episode ( he works like a s.o.b non stop)

🤗❤️😎

[kingfish]

Beautiful garden Tika. I like it when the leaves are all pointing up. Like in picture #3. Then again at my age, anything looks good pointing up.

[Tika]

We are out where the buses don’t run I think here: however....@kingfish being vertical and alive is pretty damned pointy in my book. Thanks for the fun LurkingInTheGrass and kingfish.
I also forgot to mention in my long blab there that I did order so e seeds from Seedsman ...feminized MobyDick one of the strains I was w@nting to do with my genetic testing. They all got yanked in customs AGAIN...I did get a wad of pink yarn back with my notice. Such a (fucking) drag that. We’ll see how long it takes the reorder😖🤢😖

[Cannabliss]

Plants are coming along nicely Tika. Nice full canopy.

[Tika]

Shit. I just wrote reply...well...yes indeed but he is one year older than my youngest son so I compensate by being able (still) to haul and stack brick
just cause I’m old doesn’t mean I’m dead...by any means🤣🙄🤓
thanks for the humor...will pass it on.

[Canuck147]

We are all getting up there in age Tika - but our plants keep us feeling young.

[oldjarhead100]

those girls are looking great and the wagonetts will roll alot easier on that patio , your outside of house looks as good as your inside lol

[Tika]

Thanks my friend oldjarhead100 I need order in my court as I sleep too close to chaos and same for the dogs. Thanks for always being close.

[Tika]

Just giving a shout out for PurpleWizard....she. Both of them are doing beautifully. 2 of 5 regular seeds...she is “on top”. 3.5 weeks from flip. Dense and sticky and fresh in her fragrance.

[Juicyj89]

Cool. I was only wondering because i was looking at the pic of your whole plant and your topped part looks really far up there?

[Tika]

@Jucyj89....Far up there meaning? and which plant? 😊🤓😎

[Juicyj89]

Lol cute but i mean you have a lot of nodes below where im seeing that you topped it. The plant on the above post. PurpleWizard?🔮

[Tika]

That’s her😎

[Redwasp]

Beautiful. I wish you could bottle up that aroma I love the smell of flowers in the morning.

[Tika]

Not so skunk...more - I’d like my linens to smell like that- at this point. These perfumes...after good dry and cure change of course and then it’s in the smoke. But...in the meantime @Redwasp...it’s fresh and uplifting🌞🌻Thanks for following.

[Redwasp]

Tika who can read your posts and not follow. Lol But I love the different aromas of different strains. I wish I could smell them all. I dont want to smell them far away as somehow they smell like what people think of as weed when you are far away. But up close and personal they all have their own distinct smell. And its wonderful to say the least. Looking at your pictures I can just imagine what it smells like in there. It's the aroma that dreams are made of. Keep on growing and giving inspiration to others.

[oldjarhead100]

when I was giving the challenge girls there haircut i could smell them as I was cutting them , sweet pungent head spinning love it

[Tika]

Yea exactly. So fine🌻🤗🌻
