My Perpetual Madness!!! Multi Mutiple Strains

[SadBadGrower]

I haven't updated this journal in some time. Here's some recent pics. They are 7 weeks in flower. Some taken today, others last week. Enjoy. From left to right. Blue Cookies, Girl Scout Cookies and Blue Dream.

Pics taken 4 days ago. This is my Blue Cookies. She was the trifoliate.

They are starting to really pack on some weight. Getting there. Slowly but surely. A better look at the Blue Dream in week 6 of flower in this pic.

Durban Poison almost 6 ft tall. Almost a 4 ft stretch in flower. Clone taken.

Early Skunk F4 #1 much taller then #2. But was also topped and trained different the #2. They are about 5 weeks in flower at this point. I am not too impress with the plant today. She has a very strong smell but lacks trichome production heavily. Bottom picture is #2.

This was them right at the flip.

Note* The Early Skunks were reg seeds. One of the 3 was a male. I did not take pollen. Chopped immediately.

Thinking to SCROG this tent next grow....

Those skinny fan leaf fingers look crazy cool. That #2 pheno looks insane! Thanks for sharing!

Yea, it's my first time having a plant with such skinny leaves. Wind blows right through her. I cant wait to see how she smokes though.

Blue Dream looking like I may need to tie her up too.

 

[SadBadGrower]

Girl Scout Cookies is really starting to show purple. Night time temps 65F - 40%RH. Still at least 3 weeks I'd guess. Week 7. Started showing end of week 6.

My 2x4 tent coming along just fine. Once I chop my other plants in a couple weeks, I'll move some of these out.

My Durban Poison, even though almost 8 weeks in flower, grew about an inch even closer to the max I can have my light. The longest stems got bent downwards today. No stems were broken in the process. She still has a good 3-4 weeks before she's done I think. I'll get some picture when my lights come on in the morning.

So here's what I had to do to the Durban Poison. Not something I ideally want to do but I had no choice.

I did some trichome checking today and it went pretty well. Sadly, I am unable to upload them until I find the little phone attachment I use for macro shots. Anyways...This is heading into week 8 in a couple days.

Blue Dream: mostly cloudy with some clear here and there. Still needs at least week, maybe two.
Blue Cookies: still about half and half. I would say 60/40 on cloudy and clear. She's swelling like crazy too.
Early Skunk F4 #1 & #2: all cloudy, barely any cloudy. Starting to see some amber here and there. 85clo/10cle/5am would be my guess.
Durban Poison: Still a ways to go. Lots of white hairs still. maybe 10% red hairs. 100% still clear.
Girl Scout Cookies: shes about 25% cloudy and the rest clear.

2x4 plants flowering perfectly. The Critical Purple Kush is the one I have my eye on. She's turning into a beauty.

So I have a question for you, I see on your Durban the larger terminal cola in the back has a red main stalk. I have been fighting a similar issue with a SourD/WhiteWidow cross. Please do not get it twisted, I am not fault finding here, I am just curious about your thoughts on it, and if you see it as an issue, is it something strain specific, or is it something you have already addressed? I read it in my grow as Mag def/Mag lockout and used Epsom Salts to try to fix. Its obvious you know how to grow very well so I was curious about any insights you had.

So I go by what the leaves are showing me. I try to stay away from the entire stem colors unless the plant is doing poorly. There's a few factors in stem colors like strain, environment and like you said deficiency. Without knowing the exact genetics for sure, you can't really tell what one it is. I have had vigorous growing plants that flowered very well and had purple stems like that. So as long as I don't see leaves being affected at all or just the plant overall, I ignore the stems every time.

My Bubblicious almost 8 weeks in flower. I have harvested this plant before. After I harvest her again, back into veg she goes.
