  3. Day 62 flowering

    After a total of 4 months now it feel these buds should be much bigger. They are doubling in size every 2 days though so should be okay in a week or so.


    Switched to metal halide 250w to add some UV THC preference over size. I haven't got too long before the babies go into flower and I'll keep them small. They will be in here soon and I'll have more than enough to last me until I move and have to get rid of it all.

    ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1421434597.189007.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1421434544.034593.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1421434760.702954.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1421434778.902560.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1421434861.428574.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1421434881.311984.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1421434892.380936.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1421434904.948089.jpg

    Also many more white pistols than id like at this stage. Some are turning and some light brown trichomes, some cloudy, mainly clear. I'd expect more browning and size at this point of Thc production but am almost certain she needs more light for her size. My 5 oz target doesn't seem to be far away I think so far. Will need to wait until she piles the weight on and see what comes of it.

    Ends of leaves are starting producing brown trichomes more, not sure why but clouchlock from leaves, head high from buds seems pretty cool.

    And one for the babies

    Day 64.
    1 day late.

    I'd think at least a week more (maybe 2) as about 15% of the total amount of pistols have browned.

  5. Hey Nomame,
    Excellent progress thus far! How's the smell on those dragons?
    I'm thinking of lsting my ogkush and try a similar style of sea of green like yourself.
    Any advice on watering/maintaining it? Did you move it often in/out of the tent?
     
  6. Thank you kindly :)
    As of maintaining it's been watered when it felt light weight which was every 3-4 days usually. Nutes every other time, I don't ph which I should but just judge what they need by the look (apart from nuts lockout I can't see why issues should occur).

    Smell is strong of a morning like now (just turned lights and fans on), as my arduino fan project turns the lights on at a temperature and up/down speeds within an allowed temperature tolerance, so at night they never come on. I have got a small carbon filter but so pared to my 5" rvk l1 the filter is useless. Pumped straight out a loft window ;)

    It's noticeable when fans have been off a while when coming into the door but normally okay. No complaints really from housemates.

    As for moving her, didn't really happen. I took it downstairs during the flush to shower the chemicals out (organic nutes anyway but always worth flushing even with water). Apart from that there's been no need to move her. It is easy though, I turn her around every other day though to get good light distribution.

    Smells rather piney now I'm in here, really don't know why this girl is taking so long to puff up. Should have been chopped and dried by now according to Barney's farm. Ahh well, false advertising eh.

    Hope this helps, I'll be sure to follow yours :)

  7. As a heads up. This is day 71.

    Outside buds have 65-85% brown pistols, inside (close to lights) have around 15-25% brown pistols. Heading off for 3.5 days so will be sure to lift the light while away to see if it's too intense. Also watering and going to pot up babies (which really do need it) when back.

    ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1422186912.089908.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1422186930.061777.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1422187054.604576.jpg


    Here's a ting bottom bud I just removed in order to taste test before the big chop. Feels very damp so will not water before leaving. It will have a few days to dry itself out somewhat in order to avoid mould and other damp related issues.

    Day 75. First chop.

    I've waited 2 weeks longer than expected and they just don't seem to be filling out as much as I'd hoped. Probably due to not enough light for such a HUGE amount of tops. It's still looking reasonable so I'm not complaining about te quantity and the quality looks incredible so I'm going to chop some buds off to give the remainder some space to breathe. I don't really want to get a 400/600w MH now even though it would have helped a lot.

    ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1422542723.198716.jpg

    One side of the buds (the outside) has matured (far borderline final stage) and the inside has ideal trichomes but white pistols. Hopefully during drying that fixes itself but thought it seemed a bit odd. Need to make room for the babies too as my 60w cfl is killing them.

    ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1422542873.625374.jpg

    This bud on it's own weighs up at 31.36g wet weight. Using 70% water loss that leads to about 9/10g in one (not the biggest either, it had very little impact to the total size of plant) branch cut.

    I'll continue and post the pictures of cut branches throughout the next few posts. :)

    Wet total so far. 127.4g.
    (Around 1.5oz dry).



    Leading to a much more open canopy with a moderate amount of impact on the size :) (which will help it anyway as I believe it had too much potential to live up to before)

  12. Looks good man. Of course it's gonna take longer then the package says they always shorten the time to make it sound better. I noticed you counted as starting flower right after the dark period and going to 12/12. I wait a week after I flip then count it as actual start of flowering, just my way.
    You'll be happy those lower buds can soak up that extra light. Did the same thing with an auto I had going just chopped yesterday lol. Take it easy man and give us a smoke report once it's cured and throughly tested ;)
     
  13. Thanks bro.
    I did it with my white berry last grow and staggered chopping led to good weed sooner and still ripe enough to last months.

    Just trying a quick dried bit I showed a couple days ago. Here's it's looks. So crystally!!

    I'll post how it goes afterwards

  14. Looks good. Is that a seed in the bottom right of the bud in that pic? Pretty much all cloudy trichs?
     
  15. Unfortunately yeah it was. There's not too many of them and in the first chop lot there's one out of 3 got some seeds in them and there's about 5/6 seeds in 2g. Hopefully they're not too bad but there must be a few hermied pods.

    As for trichs

    ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1422964698.842385.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1422964757.728182.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1422964959.242953.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1422965027.565713.jpg

    Look pretty much all clear.

  16. Just finished drying the first chop. and most has been smoked already.

    Just weighed up cut 2 which was 25.33g wet and is now 5.30g dry. After finer trimming it should be around 4.5g, meaning cut 1 would be about a quarter ounce (as these 2 are all I have left)

  20. Smoke is superb. Rather old fashioned tasting smoke, although all the buds I chopped before have all been smoked now and I don't feel they were anywhere near ready. This girl has been here for so long now I feel something must be wrong for it now to be finished yet.

    Maybe I was optimistic with the lamps and size of the plant.

    ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1424429839.724518.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1424429869.742119.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1424429899.578292.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1424429936.631173.jpg

    I'll begin chopping later. It's coming down soon. The seeds in them look completely undeveloped (2mm round) so maybe pulling it down now is a good thing. Before the seeds go fully ripe, or the babies get fertilised.
