Time to show your grow.

37 days since sprout. Ladies out for a walk.

Dirty goldfish water.....hmmm.
 
So it has been a while. The orchard needed care, the raised bed garden is getting a major overhaul, I've been out riding my bike while I still can, and this cancer stuff is taking way too much time, energy, and money. At least I am alive and feeling OK, for now.

I can still sit down and commune with my plants. This is from a couple of weeks ago. The GG #4 on the left has yet to show that it hates the nutes I give the Blue Dream (plant on the right). This photo is from a couple of weeks ago.

This is where the Blue Dream is now. I have 18 colas in progress. She likes her nitrogen hot and her lights bright. She is a greedy little pig. I flipped her 10 days ago. She's been growing an inch a day and downing 3 liters of soup while she's at it. She had been sick, but once I boosted the nitrogen she took off pretty good.

I'm have the canopy at 10"-12" below the VS 450 right now. I had her there last week with no sign of burn. I've learned I can get as close as 8" with most plants, a few as close as 6" with these lights. I'm keeping her away from the lights right now because she is growing so fast.

She's about 24" tall now. You can see how I've pruned her. This is something I started doing after talking with some local orchardists about managing the apical meristem. Long story short, if one branch gets too tall then I pull it down with twist ties and anchor it to either the pot, or the bamboo stakes I've inserted across the top of the pot. Whichever I leave as the highest, takes over. I pull tall branches down and give the shorter branches some slack. It might take more work than other methods, but I enjoy playing with the stuff.

Next up in my continuous micro-grow is my GG #4 and clones from the Blue Dream (both from Seedsman).

The GG#4 on the left started out life happy, but did not like the high nitro soup the Blue Dream loved. I had some issues there until a flush and a milder nitro solution. Now she is happy again.

If you count, you'll see I have 10 laterals in cultivation. That's what happens when I get high and prune cannabis. Oh well.

This time I do not have the bamboo sticks fastened to the pot as tie downs. With 10 laterals to manage, that meant a lot of bamboo crossing in the middle. So I made these little stakes to manage my apical meristem merriment. These are a lot of fun to make and play with when I'm high. It's whack-a-mole with plant hormones. (Note the out-of-focus GG#4 leaves behind the stakes in the photo below and see how yellow the leaves got with Blue Dream nutes before the flush and nute correction.)

These sickly little babies are Blue Dream clones of the mature mother, which I planted about 10 days ago. They are suffering from "nute confusion" on my part. The GG#4 requires a lot less nitrogen than the Blue Dream. These are at least 8 weeks out from flipping. I won't have room for them until I harvest the current Blue Dream mother. They'll have time to get better. I'm planning on 4 colas from each plant in these. That runt at the back left of the cabinet had a hard time making roots. It may be replaced by another I have in the clone soup.

This is the nursery cabinet.

Up top, I have two rooted GG#4 clones that were started the same time as the Blue Dream babies, but they have done well. The two are scheduled for seed breeding. I've been playing "Dueling Banjos" for them to set a romantic, inbreeding tone for the the upcoming nuptials. They will get flipped sometime this week.

The plant in the middle is a Do-Si-Dos seed from Pyramid Seeds. She was planted ten days ago and is doing well. She is feminized, and if I don't see any hermie signs she should follow the Blue Dream clones. I got a buy-five-get-three-free deal on these. I should drop another as insurance, I suppose. It's not like I'm going to outlast my seed inventory.

Down below I have a couple more Blue Dream Clones. I'd souped them up for breeding, but I think one of them might replace the sick girl I have in early veg. By the looks of the roots, they should be ready for planting in a couple of days.

With everything going and growing well and good, it is time to go. I think there is a bowl waiting for me. Have a great day!

BaccaRacca those are some great looking plants i'm so happy your doing well with the CA treatments. Good growing orchard of weed. I too have noticed that GG#4 does not like heavy N. But loves the PK. My GG#4 clones are doing great 1 just wants to flower an is growing tall under my CFL. All were taken from a pre flower mom maybe it's Where i took the cutting hmmm you got a clue? Maybe i should of gone lower on the plant? You sure can spread those out and i dig your tie downs. You do deserve that bowl :)
 
Bruce banner, last grow of the year until fall. Had ph problems but turned out pretty good in the end.
Edited, cleaned up and put grow room into stealth mode.

Thank you SoOrbudgal. I'm new to the GG #4 strain. Interesting thing on your GG is that my girl is flowering so heavily right now that I had to check I had it on the right light interval circuit. Even her clones had flowers, but not as heavy as mom right now. Stress perhaps? She had a tough transplant -- very little root ball for the vegetation above, and the ball fell apart. Then just as she recovered from that, I gave her some of the Blue Dream nutes, and it almost killed her. So maybe it's stressed? As for getting tall, maybe that is the CFL? I use cheapy flat panel LEDs for my low-power growing, they seem to keep the plants really bushy with short internodes.
 
Just curious, I like BB and have grown out both the original from Darkhorse, and the Seedsman BB. I let a male Darkhorse pollinate a fem BB so I have F2 BB seeds I can play with, as a pheno hunt. I grew out one seed and that F2 seed was all fire.
 
They look awesome. I was doing some research on foxtailing, and it's given a bad rap much of the time when it's a common characteristic of many strains. If you look at a bunch of Barney's Farm strains, you will see it a lot, and of course, when it shows up all over the plant, it's a natural characteristic.

"Bad" foxtailing may be out there, but natural foxtailing buds are beautiful.
 
Great post! I love spending time like that too with my girls! It's an art! Sorry to hear about the cancer, it's good to hear you're feeling "ok" for now. 💚
 
I don't know if there's really that many tops but it could be I lost count lol they were supposed to be 16 main colas pulled down to get 4 or 5 tops to come off them. The Gelato tried to listen to me but the skunk just wouldn't grow any undergrowth. So I have cut any of that undergrowth that didn't even try to grow to hopefully get the stuff that did try to grow a little kick in the ass. I'll make a post here with pics and tag you
 
Hello again everyboody, just wanted to share my (failed experiment) two photos I'm playing with my first attempt in over 2 years to do a couple larger plants instead of my normal SOG style little ones.I was attempting to make 16 colas with multiple tops coming from them. One tried the other didn't here's a couple pics of them from a couple days ago. The good child is Gelato OG the other is Purple Skunk. I've decided to just let them grow out and take off anything that doesn't make it to the canopy.
alltatup here they are

Peyote plants are my current grow.
First one is a Peyote Gorilla from Seedsman. I almost killed it from lack of water early into flower but it has rebounded nicely and is a couple weeks away from harvest.

The second is a Peyote Critical from Barney's Farms. This is another experiment or attempt at keeping only one cola. It is almost 4 ft tall and is as big as my forearm...I know, I know my forearm is skinny but anyway it looks good to me. :funny:

flower tent is high humidity. like 60% with the exhaust fan on 10. 4in AC infinity fan. the outside of the tent, the room, its at around 45%. i literally have to have the tent door wide open and the rooms dehumidifier close by. should i get a bigger exhaust fan. like a 6in? the tent is a 2x4.
the pictures are from last night and this morning.
so last night.... i put the dos si dos 33 into flower tent. i also tied down the mimosa evo a little.

this morning...

so all these mainlines worked perfect for me. i removed a few fan leaves on about all of them to help with airflow and they were blocking light . everything is packed in here. i have a trellis net for the tent that clips on to the poles. i dont know if i will use it. not yet anyway.
