Mr.furley

ROFLMAO

5L of reservoir (1L water =2.2 Lbs)

Who needs a tiny bic 😁😁😁

[Retodd]

Good deal guys

[Canuck147]

So I topped 'big' - 4th node was established and number 5 was coming up so I snipped. Now the first and second nodes have good stems already working so I also began the LST. Third is still sprouting. Second set has a better and stronger set of stems coming out.

I was planning on just trying the quadlining idea at first in my head but the first set if stems look pretty strong as well. Maybe try three? I mean six?

What I learned from my last grow - Expect the plant to grow a bit vertically, one can but I don't think it's a good idea to hold the plant firmly down from the start. Let it grow up a bit - so I have used long pieces of wire with larger rounded ends. Cuz I also learned that those first stems you hold down will thicken up - one has to allow for expansion.

Question for all of you - do I cut off those first node stems and j y st grow with 4? Or wait it out a bit and see how the third stems come out?

I'll wait it out and also wait on any replies - as I used to be a waiter in a large hotel beer parlour in the late 70's. Lots of fun.

I'll post pics in the next few days.

I did several plants with different training and when you use more than 2 nodes you run into a big mess if done correctly 2 nodes is enough ,but I still cant help do 3 or 4 lol Ill take some pics today

[Retodd]

I have 166 acres up a private 1/2 mile driveway, surrounded by hills and trees. Only 13 acres is flat, so the only thing I have to worry about is helicopters.

[Canuck147]

First node already got snipped.

[Spidermite]

I went ahead and put 22 CBD plants outside yesterday. I Will be adding more when Im sure the weather is going to agree with me.

I also started 2 Original Glue, 2 Clarendon Candy, 1 Iced Grapefruit, and Critical Orange punch for inside.

[oldjarhead100]

its to early here unless in a heated green house lol

[Juicyj89]

So is original glue really as potent as they say it is?

[Spidermite]

Original Glue is pretty stout stuff. If your one of the truly lucky growers it really can be a 2 hit and done smoke. Its been years since Ive found a 1 hit and done strain. Ive have it all the way from what I call regular smoke all the way to where the fuck am I smoke. Ill let you know how Nirvanas and my grow goes. But yes it really can have anywhere from 18% thc to well over 30%. Me and retodd are growing it this grow so we can tell you if its good. Both are the same seed batch from Nirvana so it will be a true test. We have the same seeds.

[Rwise]

The Snowryder (first 2 pics) is looking close, what say all y'all? (I left these 2 large)
The Himalaya Blue Diesel is looking good for early June.

Clicking on the camera option instead of the attachment option will bring them up how you described

[Rwise]

I click the camera, and select all the files, one at a a time, then continue,,,.

[Retodd]

I’ve always just take the pix and upload them as attachments. I’ll start doing it w the live camera. Thx

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today is day 110 for the Bubba Kush. This is the 2nd oldest plant I've ever grown (131 days being the longest). Most of my plants are done before 90 days.

I'll be chopping it down on Monday, so it will be 112 days from seed to harvest.

She has been a great plant to grow. Her buds are very thick, but not long. They are short and stocky buds lol.

The other 2 in my tent are a month behind this one, but will be ready at about the same time. Works for me!

Have a great weekend everyone!

[Tika]

Beautiful work!

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks everyone!

[Canuck147]

Really nice!

[LurkingInTheGrass]

...HAPPY SATURDAY TO ALL!!



my Things:

Royal Gorilla Automatic (Royal Queen Seeds)
50% Indica / 30% Sativa / 20% Ruderalis
56-70 days after germination



left: Thing 1
right: Thing 2



Thing 1
119 days from seed
76 days from pistils


and what felt like hours (ok, was more like a day), I managed to super crop Thing 1




far ... near



Thing 2
112 days from seed
76 days from pistils


the accidental super cropping


upper plant


topmost


Is it just me, or am I seeing purple starting to show on calyxes?






We are down to their last days, I expect to be chopping them before next Saturday
But who really knows, they may like being moved around every week, having their pictures taken
60 -75% of trichomes are white
clears can still easily be found
ambers are starting to appear (as of a couple hours ago, still less than 10 per Thing )

they have only been getting RO since last res change
their reservoirs measured: ~420 ppm

they are still taking daily top ups, down to 200-250 ml, about 1/2 as much as a week ago

smells: pine first, then fuel and I still get the faintest hint of warm rubber bands (I expect the fuel to over power it anytime)

Nice job LTG great pictures

[Tika]

More beautiful work!

[Spidermite]

The 2 strains that were choosen for the Dark Cycle grow how did those 2 strains come out? Are they worrh growing.

[Spidermite]

I posted a new link to try and attract more growers for the spring summer grow. Just want to keep everyone on the same page. Mine is started. I am super excited to be back to photo plants for this grow. Of course I still have my autos on the side.

[oldjarhead100]

Oh happy days are here My greenhouse came in yesterday so now the fun begins ,I hope the ground is thawed out

[Juicyj89]

Okay so here’s my two regular photo GSC. I guess I lost track of time growing with this coco. Definitely don’t have to water as much. But yeah I think they’re like 2-3 weeks old. Kind of lost track of that too. But the reason I say that is because they were pretty big for there pots. So dropped in some 3gal fabric pots and getting ready to set em outside. On another note, only one of my GG#4 and Fruit Cake Punch popped but the gg stretched like a freakin vine for some reason. Which doesn’t make sense, since it was under four 6500k HO 24w t5s. Didn’t even want to post a pic lol but she’s growing good. Just leggy. I’ll just bury it when i transplant. But other than that, the two reg Cotton Candy popped and look good. All besides GSC are within first week above soil. Well, happy growing and wish me luck as I try to wrangle all these beasts.

[Canuck147]

Good luck - easiest way to hide one's unruly or gimped children is to relegate them to a corner until they make themselves look presentable.

Auto update

[KTM690]

Looks like ill b popn more seeds in a couple weeks my blue diesels will take over in between. Have some ass monkey seeds and strawberry something might send those next. These autos grow so fast ill be drowning in buds after this grow lol

[Canuck147]

Someone chopped up the think big plant...………...

[KTM690]

Oh no I hope its ok. Those crazy ghost do that to my plants also

[oldjarhead100]

hey at least they left a strong stump no splits on that girl

[Doubledealing72]

I finally harvested my Bubba Kush! 112 days from seed to harvest. Consequently, my other 2 plants that were about a month behind her were also ready, so I'll just be showing all my harvest pics on here.

All of my plants were done using the quadline technique. The Bubba Cheese ended up becoming a tri-line because I accidentally snapped a main branch off early on while training. That being said, the Bubba Cheese has the most dense nugs I've ever grown, hands down. The Bubba Kush nugs are pretty dense, but not as dense as the Bubba Cheese.

I'm guessing just under a lb for all 3 plants together, but we won't know until Wednesday or Thursday.

Here's all my pics from harvest, I'll see ya all at the finish line!

The 3 top cubbies are the Bubba Kush, the 4th one is the White Widow CBD, and the last 2 are the Bubba Cheese

[oldjarhead100]

I have had 2 girls that have been a couple of amber trics away from chopping for 2 weeks they just would not finish,they are drying now but this is what I learned if you have aphids with real close buds you have to spray them ,Lady bugs just cant seem to get into the aphids ,I would have 10 lady bugs on top of a bud and still see aphids in between parts of the bud ,last week I dumped 500 LBs in the auto room and Monday I dropped another 500 to 1000 and there were still thousands on stems and leafs .I have never seen a worse infestation of aphids before , I took all the autos out trimmed up and spread out what I could then I sprayed them with 3 in 1 spray ,I sprayed 7 big plants and the ones I just transplanted the first 2 pics a before and after and the 3rd is one I cut down it produced 207 grams wet ,should be 51.75 dry the second plant I chopped weighted in at 120 grams wet 30 grams dry
