Dark Harvest GROW CHALLENGE!

[Californiakid]

Just before the lights came on this afternoon.

[Chefbjy]

Are the white spots from foliar? De? Just an observation, I'm sure you know they are there 😆.

[Californiakid]

Chefbjy
Yes a calcium foliar, its been dry so they like the shower now and then. I figured, I had it, so its a good extra measure.
Its also supposed to be good for heat stress.

[Redwasp]

Well at least the one Chefbjy chef is looking beautiful.as I'm sure your will too. Looks like they will produce some awesome smoke.

Running out room, good thing we flip tomorrow
I'm not going to auto feed the OH because they are taking different amounts of solution. Since I have been treating them more like soil but watering every still, they have really took off.

DWC have some fat branches but the OH are pretty much the same, a touch smaller. The soil girls have the thinnest branches but are stronger. Most of them are about 18"-20" tall but at least 24" wide. The GC OH is the smallest but has been really filling out. I'm sure this is more to do with the style of growing than a weaker seed. It was doing better than the DGTH but then kinda stalled for a while after the topping, then the transplant probably hindered it some more. I have been keeping a detailed log of the schedule for all which can be posted if need be. Kinda stopped keeping that updated but you guys get the idea of what's going on I'm sure.

All got a light hair cut and a little training/tying down. Most of the canopy heights are even. Pulled some clones for a friend and a few for bonsai mothers. Pinched all the main branches in a few spots each. All still get a foliar 3 times a week at least.


OH base, top GC bottom DGTH. I'm loving the ring for training. It keeps the middle open and can secure branches anywhere to it. I bent hooks in the stakes to make sure the plant didn't pull it out of the medium.
Now the fun part, lets see if my love and attention pays off. Looks like it has so far 😁😎🖤 will post in my thread tomorrow when in the their new spot.

Trying to get ready for flip! Gorilla Cookies, deffenitly ready! Nice an Bushy an atleast almost 2ft tall.. my far ghost train haze is looking good! Finally coning together an looking more an more like one of my other plants! But she's gonna have to get tied down before the flip! I usually haven't been tieing down, just using lst an super cropping.. but every time i spread her out, within that day she right back lol.. i am also hoping that my gg#1 will be close too finishing up soon! She's taken over the whole 5x5 tent! Just harvested two soil plants, ( agent Orange, and sugar) got three more small 3 gal pots of bubba kush that are almost finished.. i want to clear the big tent out to get these challenge girls all the room.. plus got clones going of each.. so we'll see what happens here ..

[Chefbjy]

Seedsman...they said they would compensate me on my next order. I'm about to place an order and if I get another seed mix up I won't be using them. I'm going to try newguy now.

[Redwasp]

Yes I have to order from msnl again to get a replacement on the wrong seeds they sent me. Not a big deal but I would prefer to have my options open.

[Trichomefarmer88]

Yeah that crazy they gave me three options i picked a free best feminized package an they still sent me two free fast fem white widow.. i just paid 20$ for the shipping is all

Happy FlipDay!!

1week ago...





today...

[farmerjim]

I swapped 2 of the plants in the tents...

[Chefbjy]

Holy smokes this is the plant I dropped my clip fan on and broke a branch right down the side. Taped up and growing major fat colas atm 😉. She will be one of the dark challenge girls.

[Redwasp]

These are your not photos right? Those are some fast girls

[Chefbjy]

Yes they are the not photos. That's what I thought Redwasp. They are getting huge but still far from ripe 😉. I can't believe some are even fatter then my photos in my shop, which I'm now doubting are gg#4.
Glad I didn't cull. I talked so much smack about them earlier and how gnarly they look. The one I didn't top is still an ugly gal but ugly gals need love too 😆. I'm impressed with the misfits now.

[Chefbjy]

The ugly girl on the 12th. I'll get a better whole pic but she is really nothing but buds and leaves atm.

[Redwasp]

Yeah those are some beautiful girls.

[Chefbjy]

This will be the one I harvest right before lights on the other one not shown here will be the other dark challenge girl.

[farmerjim]

[Chefbjy]

Not gc photoperiods, which I will refer to as the misfits, are stacking nicely. The ugliest one I never topped has a huge main cola around 6-8" tall and like 2" round. The plant I broke is amazing and just ripped with 1 and 1/2" wide colas 14" long. The one I topped late is getting it's groove on now and stepping up to her sisters.
Dgth getting busy under the canopy and I'm going to have to get in there and either tie stuff down or cut some off. The canopy is pretty even and filling out the 5x5 nicely with only 3 plants. I have just enough room to work around them and have my fan in there still. My active intake is now passive as it cooled off so much I had to shut it down. Turned my exhaust down to 2 and am now venting into the room to keep it warmer.
The dgth I broke is a beaut and is stretching around 1" a day. The leggy one is trying to make me raise my light at 3" a day on some branches, I just had to supercrop a few to keep the canopy even. Not much verticle stretch on the dgth in front though she is spreading out and getting bushy. 6 days into transition and no real budlets have shown but there are lots of pistils everywhere. So long and wispy going down pretty far on the branches, think there's going to be some long colas in the near future. Loving the open camera app and macro shots. Here's a few pics 😉.

[Chefbjy]

Campesino curious to see how well your autos are doing under 12/12 😉. I'm also curious if you would have noticed a difference by now if we had flipped at original time. Like the overall formation and ripining being as the photoperiod we were supposed to have were 9 week flowering time. My pistils are starting to darken and 2 months would seem almost too long imo.

[Chefbjy]

10-4 good buddy 😆. Sounds like your courses have sparked interests amongst your peers, and you're just the person they want to learn from 😉. Looking forward to seeing your pics 😃.

[Chefbjy]

Campesino hard to think that these would go another 2months. The one I didn't top has a lot more dark pistils then the other 2. The one I topped late isn't ripining as fast as the other 2. The one I broke is putting on some serious weight atm and pistils are darkening. I feel like the misfits will be done in 4 more weeks. Idk what they are but I wouldn't mind growing more roflmao. If done right these would put off some massive colas.

Probably going to have to get a dark room ready after I take the Skywalker out of there to go through with the dark challenge. Trying a new curing method and clones should be rooted and ready to go or they will be composted. Leaving me a room open to clean and set up for darkness. Happy growing all enjoy the sugar flash 😉.

[Trichomefarmer88]

N beautiful looking man!!

[Chefbjy]

They sure surprised me Trichomefarmer88. And thank you, have a great week. ✌

[RosettaStoned]

See ya in a week all...

GC and DGTH ☝️

That free light bulb makes some nice buds, hanging with two other plants.

[Chefbjy]

Have a safe trip and pack some extra socks. Kinda wet and chilly 😉.

[RosettaStoned]

Thanks I'll be inside 😁

[farmerjim]

AI, dGTH, Gc...

[oldjarhead100]

Looking good

[Chefbjy]

Did you take the scrog out? Or is that a different tent? Looking good either way 😉.

[farmerjim]

Thanks oldjarhead100! Chefbjy, i did not, different tent only took pics of the 4x4... new post coming with both on my individual thread bc I've been neglecting that one 🤓🤙

[Chefbjy]

Misfits are ripining up faster then anticipated. Little gnat damage, maybe a ph drift caused some kind of leaf issue. Though it doesn't appear to be spreading and the rest of the leaves look fine. Not too worried about it. Trichs are developing well but still a couple weeks off. Winning the trich race in the shop so we'll have the clones a spot to grow in when these come out. ✌

[farmerjim]

[Californiakid]

Dude the growth is intense ! 👍

[Chefbjy]

Nice around 10/04 it started to come off the screen as they blew up.

[oldjarhead100]

wow do they look like there loving life

[Trichomefarmer88]

Been super busy with work havent really got to mess around on here much, everyone's girls though looks awesome!!! I have nice size little budlets ALL OVER the place! So cool, best of luck everyone peace out✌
