Grow 5: A tulip by any other name...

[SoOrbudgal]

I agree let it be.

[ocgreen]

Thanks guys. I regret not doing it just below 4th node now because she is just so much taller than her peers but leaving her alone like you both suggest.

[SoOrbudgal]

Man those are some great strains your growing from what I've read on seed site. I'm holding on wanting to see how these 6 work out in the tent. This will be exciting grow so many different strains.

[ocgreen]

I'm really excited for some of these harvests! Did a ton of research and had to jump through some hoops to get some of these seeds here in Canada.

[Oldhippy]

Looking for some help I bought 3 viparspectrum 450 leds with a veg and bloom switch they grew some party weed but could not get a buzz tried 3 different grows all from 3 different seed banks then I bought a next light mega bought from another seed bank same results this time I bought seeds from bc bud depo and am using both next light mega and the viper spectra also the last grows I used this shit called flower power and I this time I am not using any nuts so fat and if I do it won’t be that shit . Any input on this matter I’d appreciate it thanks oldhippy

[ocgreen]

Hey Oldhippy I know a few guys who grow some really good stuff using those Viparspectra lights you mention but I dont have any experience personally.

From a nutrients perspective, i started with GH Flora Trio using the schedule available on this website and that worked well. Then to save cost and keep things simple I switched to Mega Crop. You can get a free sample online.

The good news is there is a guide for every topic on this website. Would recommend reading their guide to germination, vegetative, flowering, ventilation, lighting (including distance from plant) and plant training. Absorb the available info on those topics and try your best to duplicate is the fastest way to top notch smoke.

Let me know if you have specific questions

Looking good with some of the biggest fan leaves I've grown. One more day before they get split up. It will be 3 tulip and a zkittlez in one half of 8x4 and 4 zkittlez in the other half.



All 5 zkittlez and the last tulip will get topped tomorrow night. The two biggest tulips are doing well since topping.

[SoOrbudgal]

Looking great OC once I got a gram of Zkittlez boy it was so tasty and you got the gorilla strain boy howdy that's going to be fun.

[ocgreen]

Topped, tied down and in their final home!

[SoOrbudgal]

Hail hail looks great OC very nice clean setup. Gals got a hair cut their feelin the fresh air under them lookin real happy

[ocgreen]

Yep the main problem I'm dealing with is if you look real close at the tallest, well I broke 1 of 2 main colas at the top from too much bending. That happened two days ago. It's not a clean break so I'm hopeful it heals. New growth not dropping yet.

But on the other hand I wonder if I should just re-top that guy. Basically cut just under the node with 1 of 2 broken colas which would make this plant about the same size as all others.

Makes sense from that perspective but will I stunt it if I top again?

Not sure if I explained things properly

[ocgreen]

Hard to believe but I think they're basically ready to flip already.



I'm thinking I will get rid of all major fan leaves tonight and then maybe 3 days to recover before I flip.

What do you think?

[ocgreen]

Looking good first morning after flip. Ended up removing a minor amount of fan leaves from the shortest/busiest plants but otherwise left everyone alone.

Still need to get better at planning bud sites/canopy but doing my best. May try a trellis net next grow.

Tomorrow I'm planning to take 1-3 clones from each. Hopefully they actually survive this time

[SoOrbudgal]

Oh boy little mini thems, looking lush OC

[ocgreen]

Hard to believe but already about 4 weeks since my last update for this grow.

Biggest canopy I have ever grown/maintained so far:



I could've done a better job keeping things flat but finding time and motivation has been tough lately. Also doesn't help that Mokum's Tulip and Gorilla Zkittlez are different heights.

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2020.

[SoOrbudgal]

WoW i'm looking at a sea of green.

[JohnEmad]

Looks like a tropical jungle.

[ocgreen]

3 weeks since my last update and I am in awe when I look at one of the Mokum's Tulip. It is the most beautiful and fragrant plant I have grown since starting last year.














The other plants are also doing well but this girl really stands out. So glad that I managed to clone her! 🥰🔥

For those keeping track, they're about 7 weeks into flower. I started feeding a PK booster and Sweet Candy only (no Mega Crop) as of two weeks ago. Last week they started getting water only. Breeder says they are ready after 8 weeks but will watch closely with magnifying glass and likely harvest closer to 9 or 10 week mark.

Please let me know if anyone has any questions.

Have a great day all ✌

[SoOrbudgal]

Is that just one of the frosty buds does the whole plant look like that. It's just beautiful OC.

[ocgreen]

Tops of different colas. So many perfect looking frosty buds

[SoOrbudgal]

Dang that's so frosty looking great strain.

[Obi-Wan]

Do you have any pics of the Bruce Banger? I’m getting ready to flip mine and I love to see some of it flowering.

[ocgreen]

Please see below. Will look on PC and see what else I have. The most remarkable thing is that I very much neglected both of the Bruce and they still turned out fantastic.

If you can manage to get temps low it will produce some pretty colours

[ocgreen]

Hey Obi-Wan the Bruce Banger is very tasty and heavy hitting. Last plant came down about a month ago. Still drying. Here are some photos









For any pics with more than 1 plant the Bruce are the 2 on the left.

Looks like that's all I have on my phone

I give the Bruce a solid 8/10 and deduct a point for a reason most people would give it an extra point -- so strong 🤣

[JohnEmad]

thanks for posting, great looking grow.I have a few BB seeds and plan on growing 1 later this year. great to know its strong ahead of time and If I do my part.

[ocgreen]

I find it really "heavy". Great at night but I wouldn't get much done during the day

[Obi-Wan]

Beautiful plants, thanks for sharing the pics!!

[ocgreen]

Starting to see more amber trichomes. Harvest may be sooner than I thought











Really happy with how everything is developing so far

[JohnEmad]

wow is that ever frosty. v nice.

[ocgreen]

Haven't posted many pics of the Gorilla Zkittlez but it looks pretty good. Seems a little more sensitive and not as frosty. Smells great










Was able to get a few good clones of the last chunkier. Looking forward to a full run of that pheno

[SoOrbudgal]

Great looking grow OC sure looks like a smelly good plant.

[ocgreen]

Looking pretty colorful in the 8x4 as they fade



I would say they're ready any time now. I'm giving it about another week because I need about that long plus a week until the next batch is ready for flower tent.

[SoOrbudgal]

Oh to walk thru that garden it's just beautiful. Great colors just a great grow.

[ocgreen]

Thanks SoOrbudgal. This tent is nice but you know the best part about this grow: I actually managed to clone the big purple tulips and the nicest gorilla zkittlez!

Planning to do one final wave of the Mokum's Tulip and Gorilla Zkittlez right after this. Should finish just prior to the planned summer shutdown.

Fingers crossed I end up with enough to last until the following winter!
