    dphipps1020 here is the 5 vipar plants.
    As I was saying. I don’t think they will get me more than 220, maybe only 200 g 🤦🏼

      dphipps1020 CaptainWiese91 I just purchased various 27-30% thc strains; have you noticed this recent surge in stronger strains coming out? And some that I'm growing now are purported to be in the 27-29% range; I can't wait to see if I can get close to that mark!!!!!

      Yea cookies gelato have 28% thx potential. Which is why I’m confused if I should buy it, or the sunset sherbet

      Yeah the GSC I have is supposed to get around 28% THC and a little CBD too. I haven't really noticed because I just started buying seeds. But I did notice for a while I was getting weed with 28%+ THC from the dispensary.

    Weekly update!
    week 6 of bloom started on Monday, so 6,5 weeks almost.

    plants are growing really good ! I have applied bamboo stick to most of the plants - The buds are to heavy for the stems. And almost every morning I’m turning the light on - a new bud as fallen to the edge of the pot with the stem. 😂. Tomato rings would be perfect. But they clearly don’t exist in Portugal in normal garden stores 😂

    well bamboo sticks for the win ! Sometimes you have to improvise a little bit.

    The smell is incredible strong now. So strong it makes my wife nauseous 😅.
    The two lamps are doing quite fine. I will make a good review ok both lamps when I’m done. My timeline expectations was I would be done next week 🤦🏼🤣 clearly I’m not. Some are more behind than others, which also a fun game to watch- 9 of the same strain, but not all the same pheno type. Which gives you different harvest time.
    I have one plant which have clearly more brown hairs than the others. I checked some trichomes on the buds and they are far away. A good portion is milky white - but still a lot is cloudy and not filled with THC yet. So I’m waiting and waiting.

    about the nutrients I think I can squeeze a feeding or two more in with CANNA 13/14 before I just give them plain water with molasses.

    And i have one in the corner of the grow - which is showing some odd symptoms. It’s definitely not bud rot. But the buds are changing the color.? From what or how I can’t figure it out .. so I’m monitoring it closely. Can’t find anything about the strain can go purple, so only time will tell

      Don’t know if you’re gonna hit your target, but you should be so proud of those girls. They look healthy and happy, and I can almost smell them. Gonna go give my girls some love and show them your pictures so they know what they’re aiming for.
      See girls??? This is what you need to do😂

      I dont Think I’m going to get what I was aiming for.. 🙄
      But I think and hope I will be pleased with that I get.
      They sure look nice yes. And when they come out of the tent when it’s harvest times. I can take much better pictures in normal light. Hard to see how frosty they are. I think it’s my best run so far. Not quantity but quality

        Update.
        week 7 tomorrow.
        Not much to say, it’s a waiting game for sure.
        1 plant I started giving molasses - nr 2 tomorrow. The last 7 , it’s still not mature yet, so I have to wait a week or 2 maybe before I start giving them molasses.

        buds are looking good. The smell is really intense now, it’s a joy every morning to go down and open the tent and turn on the light 😎🤟🏻

        Happy growing Captain

          They are actually looking good. But yea I need to wait at least 2-3 weeks, for most of them. Sure it’s my own fault at some point.

          They look real nice capt. And you know breeders times are best case scenario under near perfect conditions. My grows almost always go longer.

          Obrigado! It means a lot when it comes from you.
          Yea I know it’s in perfect conditions, and I battled thrips and a lot of heat this time. But I have a little competition in my head, and it’s about always try to hit the estimated time. This time it didn’t work 😅

        #36
        Good’fucking’morning Boys and mams.
        Week 7 is finish tomorrow! And I’m checking trichomes for the win these days.
        And ! 2 Vipar plants is just starting to produce amber trichomes which means it’s harvest time. It’s peaking with THC now, which is the goal for me. I don’t need the CBD.

        So according to the estimated flower time is 7-9 weeks. I can accept that.
        2 plants got their last CANNA 13/14 - which means all plants are now on molasses. No more fertilizer.
        Tomorrow I will post pictures of the 2 plants outside the tent, before they get the axe. And pictures after the wet trim 🤟🏻

        We are almost finish with this grow. 10 weeks of veg and now 8 weeks of bloom. Pretty long grow run for me, I must say.
        Time and grams will tell if I hit my goals.

        thanks for following this grow.
        And of course the reviews on both lamp will be submitted when the whole grow is finished.

        happy growing captain!

          I did that before also, with date and everything. But I stopped again, couldn’t use it for so much anyway. I always feel the buds every other day, so I know when to jar them.
          Also used to put name on the jars, but nah. I would have to change the name every time. So I’m a bit of a lazy guy here 😂

          But I’m going to hang all the vipar plants together and the Lumatek for them self. So we can see the difference in buds, and what lamp produces the best.

          And thank you ! Next 2-3 weeks in 100% done. And will starter preparing sunset sherbet grow run

        So most of you know I had one plant that changed its color.
        first I thought it was bud rot, due to the color when you look at the main cola picture.
        I kept it in the tent, because didn’t know what the fuck it was.

        so here are the plant today. It’s clearly pink inside the buds, or a light purple color.

        Can’t find anything about the genetics should make the plant change color. Lol

          I’m still a little skeptical 😂. Yea it smells really good, why maybe I don’t think it’s a pests of some kind

          Hey JDU ! Hope everything is good with you ??🤟🏻

          It’s not a old strain, but it’s not a new either. Been there a few years.
          I’m cutting it today, it’s under the lumatek. So 3 plants will get the axe today

        Vipar No. 1

        it was Not the biggest plant in the tent, but from what I have grown before and the size of the colas. It should give me around 40 grams in dried weight this one. Let’s see in a week or so.

                Exactly.
                The pheno types can be so differing in shape and grow, it’s fun to watch.
                My favorite is they 9 plants is still in the tent. But it’s the same pheno as Vipar no.1
                They look so much the same.

                Love the little bits of pink in that rather nice looking bud. I was going to ask you if you noticed if you had any that showed more of a sativa look. I see some slight differences between the 2 that I have with the one that's taller having narrower and longer fingers on her leaves than the other more like a sativa where the other has shorter fatter ones. Unfortunately I have an issue with the taller one that's come on since I started flower.

                lalaland I feel ya lol seeing all the pics from harvests lately is giving me a craving for mine to be done. Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas which hopefully if my timing is right I should have some cured at least a couple of weeks by then.

                buds73 yes. I have some still in the tent. The mutant actually, it’s showing more sativa leaves.

                My favorite in the tent, one under the lumatek, it’s clearly indica dominant. Stayed small and the buds are rock hard, can’t even squeeze the bud. Like Vipar plant no.1.
                And the tallest in the tent, the way it grows, it’s like the purple lumatek plant no. 1. Growing tall, with more space between the nodes.
