start week 8 bloom

its the big wait, just a few weeks left to go.
this strain is proving to be much more nute sensitive than the last run i did. ive been reducing ppm levels, but apparently not quick enough. tips are burning again. dropped ppms by 200 this nute change, hope its enough, lol.
major defol got done over last 4 days. had to stop every 5 mins or so to clean up, get so sticky the leaves get stuck to me and rip. and oh my god the smell was just overwhelming during the job! almost sickening.
good genetics, cool temps, and a big ass jug of terpinator = 1 smelly syrupy mess. so gross but in the best way, lol.
defol gave me good light all the way down the canopy, feeling much better about it. hoping this week sees some faster development. buds are still in bulking stage, still lots of fresh pistils. breeder calls out 9 to 10 week bloom, so i translate 11 to 12 to fully ripen, putting me in the last 2 weeks of september for harvest. leaves a lot of time to pile on the weight. still no need for 2nd trellis or yoyos, freakin stems are really thick!

bought a big carbon scrubber, installed upright connected to the light hood pass thru outside the tent. no more smells inside or out, hehe. not even cigarrettes.

think thats it folks. til next week!
thanks again for comin around for a look.

Awesome!!!! I made my 4x4 a 5x5 this past week lol!!!!! I placed 5' bamboo stakes on the top of the screens. Bet you can get 6x6 at your canopy like that!!!!
 
taz...as for getting more space outta my space, im thinking of dumping the tent altogether. a while back i noticed light leaks in my bargain tent, so i put up floor to ceiling blackout curtains on a pvc frame. i bet i can back panel those with mylar and bam, no space issues. and no more bullshit ducting for the a/c. hehe
 
If you do consider a movable reflector(s) to put around the plants to reflect the light (unless you fill the whole area).

i want to do coco. probly grab some coco loco mix. and since im there i want to look into some of the supplements i can use in coco but not dwc. opens up some options, hehe
 
Yeah you can even use molasses. All that sticky stuff. BudXL is my carb/sugar additive and Top Shooter is the PK.
 
Yeah it's pretty easy to put money into since you save so much versus buying it. About a month of not buying it will pay for everything I've bought including some things I should never have bought lol.

starting week 9 bloom

hi friends, hope your labor day weekend is great this far!

going into week 9 of bloom. producer predicts 9 to 10 weeks, but thank god they are usually a couple weeks short! the development over this last week has been amazing and im getting excited to see where this goes.
my ppms have been held around 900 all week. that gives me room to boost them with p and k every time res levels drop a gallon or more. this week i was able to hit em 3 times as they consume it almost as fast as i put it in. you can watch ppms drop 30 to 50 daily, lol.
the results? compare this weeks pics to last, and it is very obviously working! the tops are piling high really fast now, fresh pistils all week and no sign of slowing down yet.
up until this week ive been a little concerned that i might not get that heavy top development because of how many branches per plant i kept, and how late its getting. no more worries, hehe, its looking like another big fat blow out harvest is coming!!! i figure that even if they stop stacking right now and ripen out as they are i will still meet or exceed my last harvest weights.
im also lowering avg temps a few degrees. day cycle running 74° to 77°, night cycle 64° to 65°. even my stalks smell delicious! maybe all those daydreams of jars filled with long sticks of gourmet candied bud will come true....so long as i dont fk up my cure!
only issue im having now is rh. i cant get it below 47, usually sits 52. dehumidifier is pulling 7 to 10 gals water every 24 hrs, and still not bringing rh down more than 3% below outside levels. thats wall to wall canopy for ya, lol. making more juice than i can mop up. i hate to do it but i might add another dehumidifier come the ripening stage. they are already just gross with resin, i cant imagine what 30% rh would do to them!!! this is just freakin awesome.
i have 3 variations that i can identify.
one pheno developing very dense, more round or mounded looking tops, slightly shorter and wider fingers on the fans.
another with more conical spiring tops and longer more narrow fingers.
the third looks more like the targeted strain shown in the producers pictures.

they are all quite dense really, but that one pheno is making rocks. not sure i like that, buds that tight arent so bong and pipe friendly. always bustin em up to make em burn better, lol. those seem better suited for the doobage grinder.

im thinking of keeping them separate through processing. at least all the fancy top sticks i get. the "production" nuggs will all go into one mix. i had one pheno in my pepprmint kush grow, and was happy i cured it in separate jars as it smells, tastes, and stones different from the rest, and its nice to have some variety when smoking the SAME STRAIN FOR MONTHS. hehe.

trichomes? bulbs big and heavy but not leaning, and all glass clear. not even messin with trying to post shots of those yet. still to early for all that fuss.
i do like taking the lights off pics tho because it helps define the internodal bud development with all the trichs lit up in the flash.

guess that wraps it up. thanks for comin around growfriends!

Try cycling your home furnace (I know it's summer) for like +2 degrees F then put back into regular AC mode. It also helps some if you draw air in from the ceiling when RH is harder to control than T.
 
So...bringing in a work crew for harvest!?!? My god another fine grow! Love the second to last pic of trichomes! Beautiful vertical!
