Didn't you order Susie Cream Cheese ??

yep sitting in the vault now waiting for her turn. Just snagged during the last bogo sale. Oh I see, my last comment was in regards to not having more seeds of the specific blackened oranges from Useful. Just a tad concerned I didn't veg the girls long enough for taking clones, planning for the flip after this weekend depending on how healthy they look.

Look a tad light bleached? I've raised the lights in the tent as far as possible and switch the nute schedule to 50/50 maxigro/bloom for the next week or so.




Didn't get the best shot of the photo's will try again tomorrow. Critical lights looking hungry but others are happy at 900ppm.

yeah measured the lights and with the stretch they are 12" from the led panel now =/. Will drain the tank and lower it down to the floor, nutrient changes will have to be done with the shopvac from here on out.

Blackened oranges on the far right, everyone bushed out and recovered from the transplant. Few more days and will flip the schedule to 7am - 7pm. 8 ball kush and blackened oranges tagged for cloning, will probably just trim the critical lights up and let it run. Looked happier after I closed the doors up and let the room warm up to low 80s. Reservoir tank is outside the room to keep it cooler.

Looks good in there bro nice green bushy plants.

Gotta leave em for the weekend, put some lst clips on the tallest buds to help spread the growth around the tips. With the tape measure girls are ~22" or so, hoping the stretch is over and they start to bulk up. T-minus 60 days til we replace em with some salty kongs.

 

[sandman83]

Couldn't wait for the 2 months to finish....already ordered some 5 gallon replacement modules for the ebb/flow. Now I remember the recommendation to run clones only since the tap root continues to push and might clog the base of the systems. Stupid travel plans been delayed 4 times now, still twiddling my thumbs. Changed all the nute tanks and added a 3rd airstone to the DWC.

8bk on the left, critical lights still a tad stunted/hungry from before but hopefully will pull thru. Girls need a good haircut and trim, just about ready to grab the clones. (shot with the lights off + flash this time to get the leaf color properly)



Now if the girl on the left would get her act together and follow her sister in budding out we can be friends, looking more and more like 1 green poison xl and 1 white widow xl auto survived vs 2 of the same strain.

Looks like cutting 2 hours off the light schedule did the trick to get em flowering. Trimmed off a few lowers in the middle for airflow after the shot.

My bad, I misunderstood from the previous post above 👍

 

[sandman83]

No worries! Happy to have someone viewing/chatting with my grow =). Thanks for visiting.

Closer shot of the growing buds...come on girls do your thing.

 

[sandman83]

IMO if you spent a grand on a drying/curing area you'd crush the 2k machine.

Lookin good.

well, i tried to resist...but nope I dont want another failed harvest at the finish line

I'm in line for the cannatrol ....waiting 6 weeks for delivery should arrive before any of the girls are done.

 

[sandman83]

Stretch has been engaged, please standby for lift off. Debating putting lst clips on the main colas or just letting em run au natural.

 

[sandman83]

So the new containers arrived today, will need to drill out the controller for 3/4" barbed fitting instead of current 1/2"....looks MUCH better for the next run pending this going well .

 

[sandman83]

Auto girls truckin' along...hard to believe these are 34 days from seed crack.....insane speed.

 

[sandman83]

we got dinner plate size leaves folks 9-11 fingers....operation cut all the clones/lowers is a go for the morning. For size/vigor 8ball kush #2 is winning...

 

[Mim Towls]

Beautiful plants in here!!

 

[sandman83]

left auto finally catching up to her sister....slaps hand and reminds self to patiently wait for them to finish instead of starting more......

I constantly have to do the same. So many seeds, so little space. Everything is looking great, love following along.
