Yer Blues

[Gingerbeard]

I laid front right down a while back because it was stretching. Turns out, that is my shortest and least developed plant, even after unpinning.

Muy robusto tento....bro.

El Six-o.
Front left is the one I laid down at the beginning of the grow but released after about a week. Got to noticing roots growing from where she was originally touching coco. Collared the trunk.
Defoliation from here on will be only for light and overlapping considerations. Giving an extra 1/8-1/4 strength flowering nutrients. Purposely fluctuating pH between 5.3-6.0.
On a hot summer's night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

 

[dirtymike]

Depends on what he offered in exchange??

Wait what? 5.3 -6? Now I don't know coco but anything under 6 freaks my ladies out in soil. 🤔 Very interesting. Love the experiment.

Back some time ago I read somewhere on GWE about fluctuating pH because plants absorbe different minerals at different pH's. I waited until a bit into flowering to make sure they were healthy enough for possible abuse.
So far, all is well.

 

[Ckbrew]

Yup, 5.8 is what I target

So, I'm what, 3... 4 weeks to harvest? Woke up this morning to weed stank. Seems early. It is the colloquial marijuana smell that all weed has at its base. No fruit, flowers, or feet. Just weed.

[dirtymike]

Product of PH fluctuation test, early smell??

 

[Gingerbeard]

I won't say no.

Must be Winn's day.
Got in to remove as many big fans as I could and had to pull up some of the lower branches because they were crammed in there pretty good. Still are and there are still fans to be removed. This is all I'm doing, today.
The weed smell has gone. My analogy at this point is breathing through a roll of Lifesavers. I am unnervous about someone walking by and smelling other than sickly sweet flowers. Not dope.
Lower left is the fluffy girl. Compared to the others, LL is a bit sparse and fluffy in the nug.
That's enough out of me. Close the door. Turn down the lights. Put on your Barry Manilow. Here comes the porn. Closeups and group action porn. Got yer bondage porn. Big bud porn. Little bud porn. Top shot porn. Up-skirt porn. Federally illegal porn. Even through in a couple rare open side tent porns.
Here comes the porn.

Something interesting.
Maybe 2-3 hours before taking the bud and pre defanning pictures, the plants got nuted. Notice how flat and healthy the fans look. It's easier to see in the bud shots.
Then take a look at the side shots. The fans have gone droopy in the 1-2 hours I spent playing with the plants. Or, 4-5 hours since watering.
But don't you newbie people worry! Those fans will be up and photosynthesizing in no time. Just thought I would point it out.

Juicy........

B U T Full

Upskirt??? They are so naked I can see their uteruses. Nice grow. Still a fat 25 to 30 days to go.

 

[dirtymike]

Nice grow, what's the smell like?

Maaaannn... Shore don't smell like no dope up in hurrah. Best comparison I can make is to plums. Like, if you took a bunch of plum juice and reduced it over low heat. I can't not smell it.
I no longer fear waking up to the Tijuana River when it is having one of its moments.

 

[Going2fast]

Plums huh that's a new one. My single lady is just sttto get the candyish smell. Sweet with some fruity.
