Future Journal, My New Years Grow from Santa

[Eliot Pryor]

Very nice !! When the Acapulco gold starts flowering it will probably stretch 200%. Have a great grow !!

 

[Colombo]

Hey @Ellot Pryor, Thanks for the complement and that heads up on the 200%, I just hope the timing is right. Its incredible how the size increases each day. At least another 4 wks on the autos but I'am up for the challenge. Thanks again! Good Growing !!

 

[Colombo]

Hello all ! Just a few bud photos as they are starting to look nice and building each day. Good Growing !!

 

[Colombo]

Hello all ! Up date on the girls at 65 days and can only say I am very pleased with my 2nd indoor grow ! The girls are looking real good with the autos (gorilla glue -White Cheez) about 2 wks out. Will start a water and molasses only till finish. The Acapulco Gold is still in veg and getting "LARGE" so I put a 9w led grow light above it to slow it down and move the 2nd LED over to the flowering Gorilla Glue so each auto has its own 300w LED and the autos love it. I did not remove the plants this round , I didn't want to disturb them until finish. So far things are looking real good on timing with the autos and Photo (Gold). Here are some updated photos for your enjoyment . Thanks for taking an interest ! Good Growing !!

Looking really good Colombo

 

[Colombo]

With your help Mr.furley, can not thank you enough !!

 

[Eliot Pryor]

Looking good !! Can't wait till you start flowering that A.G. She going to be something. I've grown at least 8 of those. I only have about 48 inches of headroom. I fimmed them and bent them. They always grew into the lights. I loved the strain. Have a great grow !!

 

[Colombo]

Thanks @Elliot Pryor, I'am excited to get to that point also. I have been bending and tying to keep it as low as possible. As soon as the autos are done I will do some major adjustments to the Gold to keep all that is there. May try some cloning also to save seeds. Good Growing !!

 

[Colombo]

Hello all! just an update on the girls. The girls are ready or close to harvest (any opinions) any day and have some photos to show. All things are good at this time with the Acapulco Gold starting to consume the tent LOL . She will go to 12/12 after some bending and trimming. Take a look and let me know what you think. Are they ready? And is the Gorilla Glue starting to Fox Tail as they say?

I also would like to thank all those that have stopped by to check out my grow and that have given me advice to get the grow to this stag. And to @Mrfurley, without question your help diverted a catastrophe that made this harvest possible and being a part of this forum PRICELESS !!!!!!!!!!! TO ALL THANK YOU !! Colombo

Hi Colombo, I'm a little late to the party, but heh heh, I'm in time to harvest and smoke up!!! :-}

They look so beautiful!!! the first picture of auto cheese?? shows that she still has some white pistils on her; can you wait till more are turned brown? How do the trichomes look?

The others show beautiful buds with almost all brown pistils. If your trichomes are to your liking (I prefer not to have very much amber), I hear some chopping in the near future!!

The Acapulco will be a monster; she'll take over your entire house.

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

 

[Colombo]

Thanks for the complement alltatup! The trics looking with a jewelers scope are, some red, white and clear on both, more on one than the other The light was starting to get to the one cola and didn't want to burn it up. I think I will chop and determine if they are to my liking and make any changes on my next grow same strain after the Gold. The gold will be fun! Excited to see how well I have learned in trimming and bending for the max grow. It's taking me back 48 yrs in time. LOL I also believe that has to be done to complete my grow for posting. Good Growing !!

 

[alltatup]

I really can't wait to see the Acapulco G do her thing. I have some of those seeds, but I'm not vegging for 2 months!!!!!

 

[Colombo]

Hey alltatup, here's photos of the Gold in the tent she will fill as I chopped the autos today. Will trim and bend to the lowest point possible to gain hight and change to 12/12 after some clones. Tried one with a rooter waiting to see if it takes. The fun begins. Good Growing !!

 

[alltatup]

My seatbelt is fastened!! I'm telling you Colombo: she's gonna take over your house.

 

[Mr.furley]

Going to be a show. Pull her down! Top her to fit!
Fill that tent with happy trees. Happy growing

 

[Colombo]

Hello All ! Up date on the Acapulco Gold. I spent an hr looking over her and then bending to get the best possible shape and hight without taking away from the plant. The Acapulco Gold is now 28 inches canopy to light an 44" wide now. I got a few clones from two bottom branches I removed and sealed with cloning gel. I'am doing them a way my dad did back in the day. (scraping the sides down to expose the core, gel and plant direct into media) Time will tell. Once the limbs turn upright and all is fine I will change the time to 12/12. Here are the results. Hope you enjoy ! Thanks for your interest ! Good Growing !!
PS , Will post the autos semi results shortly.

 

[Mr.furley]

Great job Colombo that's what cannabis bdsm is all about. Just stay on top of her and don't be afraid to use Super cropping in the next three weeks.

 

[Colombo]

Thanks Mr.furley, I'am learning interesting things that make growing even more interesting! Can I remove some fan leaves to open her up for good light penetration prior to switch? When all the branches are straight up it looks like manifolding? out of control without the trimming.

 

[Mr.furley]

I personally think that your growth is open. I can see a couple(2) leaves that I would pinch off on top but by no means a defoliation. The third/fourth week in flowering is a good target for a good trim and removal of unwanted braches, lollipopping, just keep pulling her flat and tucking leaf till then she going to fill you tent nicely.

 

[Colombo]

Just a lite trim is what I would like to do. I come this far with one mistake, not looking to make anymore. I can wait till then for the trim.
