Update on my grows

Getting there... Probably a couple weeks and I'll flip them.

Those are looking close to ready for flipping. Going to get tight LOL but you can do this alittle shifting around as they grow

I'm sure you've said somewhere but what strain is this monster?!

 

[dphipps1020]

It was a clone from a Str8 Lemonade plant. Was a seedy oz I got from the dispensary (never had one that bad) and got quite a few seeds so I have planted more than a few. Will be smoking a lot of lemon smelling and tasting weed for a while. I've cut down 5 and still have 5 flowering. Pretty good strain honestly. Still getting a few fresh seeds too but nowhere close to what I got originally. May be willing to part with a few seeds if anyone is interested. I think it's a sativa dominant strain and the bag I got tested about 25% if I remember right. I love the smell of the flowers too, kind of hits you in the face when you open the tent.

They actually have a little room between them it's just not very noticeable with the angles. Definitely not going to wait much longer though. I kind of want roughly 6 more inches on them before I flip but mainly trying to let the roots dig into the amended soil a little first so they explode. Been getting antsy though cause some of them are pretty big and already showing pistils on most of them. Can't wait for the flower stage, should be an interesting mix of aromas, citrus, coffee, cheese, and more. Kind of wanting to get some clones since there's 10 strains in there and a few of them I don't have many seeds left, if any at all. Just don't really have the room for all that right now. I may take them as soon as I flip so they'll be ready as soon as the big tent is empty, hopefully.

About 35" tall and still going!

Looking good!

Thank you!

Just another update. Had to raise the lights finally. She's about to start week 3 of flower in a couple days. Already fills the tent and just getting bigger. Did another defoliation on the 31st to get more light to the bud sites. Can't wait to see the buds in a few more weeks.

Started flowering the big tent a few days ago and had to move the other tents around again. 3 of my girls in veg weren't quite tall enough for my liking so I put them in the 4x4 to grow a bit more. Also transplanted all my babies into their final pots and threw them in there. Took the girls that were flowering already and threw them in the big tent. Going to be defoliating the girls in the big tent and cleaning up the bottoms a little, probably today. And then I feel like my projects will be done with them for a little while, other than watering of course.

What type of soil are you using? Is it an organic dry amendments soil? Or are you using bottled nutrients? Plants look really nice wish I had a 3 bedroom house to myself forget the tents fill up the rooms.

Thanks. I'm using amended soil, a mix of Fox Farms Ocean Forest and Happy Frog on top. Thought about using an entire room but the smell would be overpowering. Not only that but I can stagger my grows this way and harvest every month or 2 as opposed to every 5-6 months. My 8x8' tent is basically an entire room and it's in my dining room, since I don't really use it. Can't see it all that well but there's 3 hydro in the big tent as well. Hydro grows faster but I like the flavor of soil weed better. Still probably going to do one hydro tent and the rest will be soil.

What LED are you using? I’m still using a old HPS/T5 system that’s over 15yrs old. It grows good, dense buds but it runs hot and uses 516W’s. I tried a cheap LED I got on Amazon that had great reviews but I wasn’t impressed and it bleached the tops of my plants white in one day. I’m using it on some auto’s now but they don’t count in my book.

 

[dphipps1020]

Probably something similar to what you had before. There's a picture below where you can kind of see one of them.

Just in case any of you are curious what the inside of my hydro setup looks like, here you go.

So I found 2 males, GG and Under Dawg. If I remember correctly I didn't care for the Under Dawg that much. It wasn't bad but I was mainly growing it to have a different strain to smoke (the more the merrier, right?). After careful consideration I decided to toss the Under Dawg and keep growing the GG to collect the pollen. I realize I will have to be careful not to pollinate my other girls but I wanted to try my luck with cross breeding. I separated him from the other girls and topped/supercropped him so he'd fit in my 2x2. Tight fit but I made it work. I think the GG will make just about any strain so much better, but I really want to cross the GG with Str8 Lemonade (thinking of calling it Lemon Glue). I feel like it will be the perfect cross and I'm hoping the flavor is as amazing as I think it will be. Also took some huge cuttings from the bottom of one of my hydro clones. Hoping they root cause they're over 12", one is probably closer to 24". I figured that will cut off a month or more, easily. They're actually so big I have them in a pitcher! Anyway, pictures are the GG crammed into it's final home and my veg tent with the cuttings. Cuttings are healthy too, only sprayed them a few times so far (took them 2 days ago) but they're reaching for the light so that's a good sign. Also, just for fun I took some pictures of the beast with pictures of the manifold from the bottom so you guys can see the structure. Probably could have trimmed a little more out of the middle but I'm pretty much done messing with her unless she gets really unruly again. Throwing in some pictures of the big tent too. Thinned out the girls in there (since I know they're all female now). I may have gone a bit high on some but I think I at least got the lollipopping done right this time. Been having trouble figuring that part out, I usually leave too much so I end up with a lot of popcorn buds. Trying to get the long, fat colas like I see everyone else get. I feel like mine always stretch too much for that though, there's always space between the buds. Anyone have suggestions on how I can fix that? Don't mind the droopy leaves on the one, it's watering day so she's a little dry. The flower pictured has maybe 2 weeks left until she's done, last 2 from the last cycle. Will be starting a new post since there's only 2 left from the original post anyway. Pretty disappointed with the yields I got so we'll chalk this one up as a learning grow as well. Probably would have helped a lot if I had kept feeding the molasses and lollipopped better. Have been good about it on the remaining girls so we'll see how much different it will be. Hope you guys enjoyed this grow, thanks for tuning in.
