Are we there yet? Brother's Grimm/Irie grow

[mysticepipedon]

Another girl, this time a Saka Souffle, started extreme praying between last night and this morning. (The lights are on from 9:00 PM - 10:00 AM.) Interestingly, The Convergence girl who was praying in the previous picture is no longer praying.

If she's still in full hallelujah mode after today's dark period, I will move her to the side of the tent. She's nearly in the middle.

Scent Update!
They only finished their 3rd week of flower yesterday, but some of the gals have trichs. One of The Convergence girls has a powerful, pine scent, another is fruity. The Rhombus also has a scent, but it's pine + unidentified "green" scent. I'm sure the pine scents will develop further, but pinene is welcome here.

Nice work up in there ! I tried the XX today burnt great nice uplifting head , but I prolly chopped a little early, wife said very citrus smelling but not pineapple at all This is just a 2 week cure or so - no big buds here when it goes in a jar it’s ready to be ground - no stems ,
The other pic is still going in a white fly infested tent! Not funny but she’s comin down soon.
No doubt urs I’d in a better environment gettin anxious to see your finished flowers !

Brothers Grimm also sells Cinderella Pineapple XX, so they must have gotten feedback from people who want that original scent.

I just looked at their website. Lots of tester packs going for $25 each that sound intriguing. I might have to get a few. Also, I missed out on Apollo 11 back when it came out. I might need Apollo XX. All this will depend on what I think of Cindy XX, so maybe I should just relax and not buy seeds for a minute.

And sooo much more

I don't know how to say this but I'll come right out and say it Fk you Moe! 😊I'm not getting a cell phone just to run my lights.....Its really the only app I've seen that inspires me to jump into the cell phone world but No I'm holding my ground No Dick Tracy world for me,,,,I know I'd need the lights too but I'd like to play with those controls 😁

It occurred to me that I can probably just add a timer with FR only to run about 30 minutes after the light goes out. I really have not seen what I can do with this, yet.

I'm just about to do that now, I've my red led lights strung around the perimeter on a timer 10 min before lights come on the reds will come on and stay on for 20 min...

Same at lights out they come on 10 min before lights go out staying on 10 min after lights out.....I'm flipping them on tomorrow night after the time changes tonight..

I did a demo run last night...looks cool.......I'm a bit afraid its going to stretch them more than I want although I don't think 20 min here there will do much....

Having the FR diodes on during flower did not cause excessive stretch for me, this time around. I got 2x - 2.5X. Some would have been 3X without the super cropping, but the breeder said it would be as much as 3X, so nothing unusual.

The only reason I added that is because within a week I saw the difference they made in veg....They stretch up quicker than with just my T5 lights. I can't use them in veg, I run out of room too quickly with them on. So I thought I got em I might as well use them so I'm playing with dusk and dawn.....

The standard veg lighting recipe for the Raging Kush includes no FR at all, so they didn't get any until I flipped to flower.

All the plants in this grow are from seed, so I have no idea how they would normally stretch in a grow of mine, without FR. I'm sure it would be different without FR, I'm just saying it wasn't bad enough to worry about in the strains I'm growing.

I reduced the light intensity from 70% to 69% and the praying plants stopped praying. Picky little girls.

It's a "snow day" for me, so pics.

The girls insisted I do a group shot. They're at 3 weeks + 5 days of flower. No complaints from them, aside from, "She's touching me! DAD!" and, "She's blocking the light on one of my favorite bud site! DAD!"

Threatening to turn this tent around just doesn't work on them, anymore. They know there is only one direction to travel now.

BTW, I don't know if I like it yet, but The Convergence looks like it would make a great SCROG plant. This girl was "super-cropped" once and could easily dominate 1/4 to 1/3 of the tent, if I didn't prune it. Almost all the buds you see within the red line, is from one plant.

This is a Convergence plant that was not super-cropped and is in a 3 gallon, rather than 5 gallon, pot:

Less spready, but still kind of spready, without super-cropping.

And the clones all made it. I only kept clones of the "regular" girls, The Convergence and Saka Souffle, plus the largest Cinderella XX. Even though all my clones root now, since I started using a "Turbo Cloner," I still take 2 of each, just in case. So there's also a pile of rooted clones to dump.

The two up front, TC1 and TC2, were the last to root. One of them is from the large, spready plant, above, so being a great grower from seed really doesn't mean much about ease of cloning.

Until next week, Happy Growing.

Here's a worrisome development.

One top on one plant (a Cinderella XX) is developing red, shriveled stigmas. I searched her and surrounding plants for male flowers, but found nothing. Nothing was sprayed on any of them. I wonder if it's from too intense light? She is near the center of the tent and this is her highest bud.

I may take her out tonight, [you know, out on the town! Show her a good time!] and go over her with a fine-toothed comb. This is the first glitch in a near-perfect grow.

Oh yeah, last night I pushed the light back up to 70% from 69% and this gal started with the upturned leaves. Amazing the way they all have their own maximum.

 

[mysticepipedon]

No sign of male flowers on the Cinderella XX girl, but she is progressing. She must be one of those insanely fast phenos. I'm afraid she'll finish before she puts on much weight.

All surrounding plants have all white stigmas. They're only at 4-1/2 weeks, so that's what I'd expect.

The other Cinderellas are also starting to turn. This is the big one -- the only one I cloned.

This one smells fruity. It smells like it almost wants to produce some pineapple scents, but is not quite up to it.

The Convergence girls are looking a little juicier. I had to put ONE PLANT in a 3 gallon pot when I ran out of 5 gallon pots. Eenie-meanie-minie-moe selected this one. Turns out to have the biggest buds so far, as luck would have it.

She smells like sweet pine, at this time. I have her clone, so if she turns out to be God's Gift to Stoners, she'll live on.

 

[mysticepipedon]

It's the beginning of week 6, when buds are just beginning to look good and show future promise.

A few are praying, but they show no other signs that the light might be too bright, so let 'em pray. For those of you who saw Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments, I have Edward G. Robinson's character's voice in my head, saying, "Where's your Messiah now?" in his gangster voice.

The Cinderella XX girls will likely finish first. Two are fairly small plants, but the third can compete in size with The Convergence. She also smells great.

She's slightly yellower than her tent mates, because she go Roots Original soil, while the rest got the Just Add Water soil mix. No point in trying to boost the nitrogen now.

The Rhombus seems to have developed a freak leaf. Naturally I chopped the entire grow. The horror of that freak leaf was too much for me to handle.

One parent of The Rhombus is Chemdog #4. Must be a leafy plant.

Scent update:

Things are developing.
Cinderella XX: Very "fruity," but I can't identify any particular fruit. Definitely not pineapple or lemon.

The Convergence: Since I have 6 of these girls, there's some variation. All the ones that smelled piney now smell lemony + pine, which smells sort of like Lemon Pledge or some kind of lemon scented cleaner. Some smell of sweet lemon, and one smells like... [drum roll, please]... dryer sheets.

Saka Souffle: One smells kind of minty, while another has a "cookies" kind of baked goods smell.

The Rhombus: One smells fruity and sweet. Not sure about the other yet.

You may now return to your previous activities.
