Devil Cream by Sweet Seeds
Alien v Triangle by Mephisto
Trainwreck by Sweet Seeds

Nutes:

CalMag
Silica Blast
Megacrop (was using Floranova Bloom up until a few days ago.)
Recharge

Lights:

3 55w autocobs


Today is day:


54 for Devil Cream
32 for Alien v Triangle
31 for Trainwreck

The Devil Cream has some decent sized buds starting, but seems to be suffering from what appears to be a potassium deficiency. Brown spots around the edges, slight yellowing between their veins.

The Alien v Triangle is looking really good. During my bending of branches, I accidentally snapped the top 2 branches at the base. It doesn't seem to have affected her too much though!

The Trainwreck is also looking really good! Hairs are spitting everywhere and the flowering process is starting!

I would love to start another one, but my wife and I are going to Italy for 2 weeks in the beginning of August. So if all things go according to plan, these plants should all be down or really close to down by the time we leave.

I took some pics of before and after defoliation today.

Have a great week everyone!

mcubed476, You are one busy man, I know one thing, and that is that you are not lazy! !! Which is good.
Beautiful plants, it must be nice going to Italy, lol, Be careful, and have a nice trip.
And I hope, you get to harvest them all before you leave. GoodLuck 476

[mcubed476]

Thanks Daas for the kind words! My wife and I have been saving for a while now, and we got a sweet deal! (1650 per person for flight and hotel for 2 weeks!)

The devil cream will definitely be ready, and the trainwreck should be ready given that it finishes pretty quickly. It's all good if one doesn't finish though, I have a buddy who will be house sitting that I trust to get the job done. Always nice to have good people in your life.

[D.A.A.S.69]

There is nothing better, than having good folks, in your life.
That is a great deal, we need to do that at my house, all we ever do is cruises, not that there is anything wrong with cruises, , you get to see some beautiful stuff, especially around the swimming pool, haha, even better when the wife ain't around looking.

Hey everyone! Today is day:

61 for Devil Cream
39 for Alien v Triangle
38 for Trainwreck

The tent as a whole is looking really good! I've been using Megacrop for a little over a week now, and this is what I've noticed.

The Devil Cream's buds are starting to stack a little. They are far more dense than any other red strain I've grown. This could be attributed to using rock resinator. It still has a few spots on some leaves, but not as bad as before I switched to Megacrop. Overall she is looking good, and smells fruity.

The Alien v Triangle is the big beast on the bottom right. She has Bud sites and branches for days, so much so that I may end up taking a lot of lower ones off. Does anyone think it's too late to do that? The newer top growth seems to be a bit pale, but I have been using about half the recommended dosage on the bag. I have increased the nutes a bit and she seems to be doing a bit better. She has hairs, and I believe what appears to be the start of little budlets growing.

The Trainwreck is doing really good so far. She has little nuglets forming, and is clearly the healthiest girl in the tent currently.

Have a great week everyone!

mcubed476, Man you got them looking good, lots of nice bud coming your way, before very long.
Are you taking some with you on your trip,? It would sure make the trip nicer wouldn't it ?
I don't know what the law is, over there, but I know if I was going to Italy, I'd sure try to carry a little with me, to enjoy all the beautiful old sites over there.
Anyway have fun on your trip !!!

[mcubed476]

Thanks DAAS! As much as I would love to bring some with me, I simply cannot take the chance at the airports or customs.

The good news is that it is pretty prevalent over there,and although it will probably be lesser quality, it will get the job done!

[D.A.A.S.69]

Your very welcome, yeah I didn't even think about scoring a little over there in Italy, probably plenty over there, I do remember of one guy on GWE, a couple of years ago that was from Italy.
I know you and your wife will have a good buzz on before you get on the JetAirplane, y'all be careful over there and have fun.

Great looking work - plants are beautiful - great colors!

[mcubed476]

Thanks Canuck! I love the look of the purple strains, but the last few haven't had the best taste. Too florally for me. I'm thinking this one might be close to the same, but I just love the looks of them!

[SovietStoner]

The very dark green and brown on the left, is that the Devil's Cream ?

[mcubed476]

Yes, but she isn't brown lol. It's actually a deep purple color. The camera shots don't do it justice, my phone sucks lol.

[mcubed476]

Hey everyone! Today is day:

68 for the devil cream
46 for alien V triangle
45 for Trainwreck


I have been using Megacrop now for 2 weeks and it has been doing just fine. The Grow Tent as a whole is doing very well.









The devil cream's buds are stacking even more now, and the hairs are almost all orange. I haven't looked at the trichomes yet, but it is getting very close. I'll probably Harvest next week sometime.





The alien V triangle is looking very good. The new growth is far less pale, probably because I upped the nutes. She does have little buds forming now and and is she is super bushy! Two mainlines may be too many, I should have chopped some branches off lol.





The train wreck is still the healthiest looking plant I have in my tent currently. The buds are starting to stack, and there are few nute burned tips and no pale growth anywhere. I really have enjoyed growing the Trainwreck.

The bad news is that when I went to water today I saw gnat larvae in the the devil cream's runoff water. so all three girls will be getting another dose of gognats. It seems that gognats works right away, but they seem to come back every couple weeks. I only have two adult gnats on my sticky pad, and I never see any flying around.

In gognats defense, I Never follow the directions to a T. I use slightly less than I'm supposed to, and then it says to add 1/2 teaspoon a week with the water. I never add anything after the first two treatments. It would probably keep them out for good if I did.

The good news is that I'll be taking a short break after this grow. When I get back I will be sure to give everything a thorough cleaning before I start up again. I'll also be adding sand to the top and bottom of the pots to discourage gnats from laying eggs.

Have a great week everyone!

[mcubed476]

Thanks pagan! My girls are all autos, so they flip when they flip! Lol. I believe it was around day 24-30 from seed that they started spitting hairs. My lights run 24/7 so I never really "flip."

I was originally regretting the double mainline I did on the alien v triangle because of the amount of defoliating I had to do, but when I finally checked on her yesterday, I was not displeased! I'm hoping for 6 O's off this girl, but 5 would be more realistic.

Either way, with only 3 plants, this will be my best harvest yet. I'm at just under 5 total with the devil cream and trainwreck, and my average harvest has been 8. I'm crushing it this time lol.

[PaganRich]

mcubed476 I commend you on your mainlining technique mate and the stylishness of your layout. Beautiful to behold and lovely to see bold growing. I always found the red auto strains to be excellent though these; Californian Snow, 6 Shooter & LSD 25 are also ones I felt were a cut above the rest before I went over to photo`s. Enjoy Italy mate...hope you have a lovely time

[mcubed476]

Thanks pagan, I've enjoyed watching your grows as well! You defoliate something fierce! Lol. We just got back from Italy last night. We had a wonderful time, but I am glad to be home and able to smoke again! I got so high last night off half a j of the trainwreck I took down right before we left! Lol

[mcubed476]

Hey everyone! Today is:

75 for Devil Cream (AND IT'S HARVEST DAY!!!)
53 for Alien v Triangle
52 for Trainwreck

I harvested the Devil Cream a few hours ago. All went well and I think I'll get around 2 O's. The buds on this are denser than the other red strains I've grown, but I'm attributing that to the rock resinator. She smells very fruity, much like the red poison did.

The Alien v Triangle is ridiculous right now. I really need to give her a haircut, and I wish I would have taken some branches off. She has too many, and I'm not sure if taking them off now would result in a hermied plant. She's looking pretty healthy overall though.

The trainwreck is looking fantastic. I had two leaves on it that had brown marks in the leaf. I'm not too worried about it because it was only a couple leaves.

My next grow will be gorilla glue and gorillal glue 4, but that won't be until late August.

Have a great week everyone!

[Canuck147]

Look great! Great purple color - love it! Don't cut branches now - now that there's more room in the tent - just pull some of those branches away from the rest - call it late LST'ing.

[mcubed476]

I didn't even think of that lol. Thanks Canuck!

[D.A.A.S.69]

mcubed476, looking great man, beautiful buds, you can always make some hash off of those smaller buds.

[mcubed476]

Thanks Daas! Yours are looking good too!

[mcubed476]

Hey everyone! Today is day:

60 for Alien v Triangle
59 for Trainwreck

I'm very glad that I only have two plants going right now because the Alien vs. Triangle is taking up most of the tent. the buds are starting to stack on her a little bit but they are still pretty small. However, they are still only have white hair so they have a ways to go. She is looking pretty healthy and very bushy.

The train wreck ha probably the densest nugs that I have ever grown. Every Trainwreck that I have grown has always had dense nugs, but these are by far the most dense. they really booked out this week and I hope that they bulk out just as much this coming week. I'm thinking she will probably be ready by next week or the week after for sure. The Alien vs. Triangle might not finish until I get back from my trip.

The Megacrop is working out really well. It makes mixing nutes far easier, and I plan to get their bud explosion when I start my next grow, and possibly their CalMag as well.

Have a great week everyone!

Hey everyone! Today is day:

67 for Alien v Triangle
66 for Trainwreck

Everything keeps on trucking along! The trainwreck will be taken down this week. I see a few Amber crystals now, so I'm thinking within the next couple days. Her buds swelled up quite a bit this week and are looking great!

The alien v triangle is looking really good as well. Buds aren't nearly the size of the trainwreck's, but they are definitely starting the swell. Her buds are also quite dense as well.

This grow is coming to a close shortly, and I'll be taking a quick 2 week break from growing because we will be off to Italy! Once we are back I will be doing a thorough cleaning of my room and then it will be on to the sixth grow!

Have a great week everyone!

[Canuck147]

Great looking plants!

[mcubed476]

Hey everyone! I took the trainwreck down this morning at day 71. I would have liked to have waited another week, but I don't have that much time left before our trip.

She has some super chunky buds and I'm excited to smoke a little of it before I do take off.

Have a great day everyone!

[mcubed476]

Hey everyone! Today is day 75 for the alien v triangle, but I have no pics of it because we are on vacation! We just got in to Amsterdam, and are waiting for our final flight to Venice!

I was able to weigh and jar up the trainwreck before I left, and ended up with 85g! 3 oz is awesome for this strain (in my experience!) Got to smoke a little before I left and I was very happy with it!

Have a great couple weeks everyone!

[alltatup]

You have an awesome European vacay!!!

[mcubed476]

Thanks atu! I hope you are fully recovered from surgery! It's good to hear from you! We just slept for 12 hours straight lol. Jet lag is crazy!
