Bodhi Apollo 11f4 And Other Strains

[Bulldog11]

I like to set my pots, on upside down plastic pots. 1 gal pots raises about 12". Helps keep the canopy even.

Also, I really think that the Apollos (and all of the other plants, too, but especially the Apollos) could've benefited from another week or two of 12/12. I feel like I may have switched to 11/13 too soon. Just a gut feeling, but yeah, I definitely think the Apollos would've liked a longer photoperiod for the first month.

Oh well. Next run....

Yep, thought about doing that, too.

And I just take a ruler and anything that's above a certain height gets bent.

See? This is why I love @Seamaiden . Always with the most obvious solution first haha. The only reason I'd be reluctant to bend them, though, is that I feel like that'd create more shade over the Apollos, just because some of the plants are almost twice the size of them. Plus, it's so crowded in there already, all of the plants are up against the wall of the tent. I'm not sure there's anywhere for me to really bend them to. But I'll see about that tonight.

Of course! Any input is welcomed and appreciated. And encouraged, really. I dunno what I'm doing, so if you observe anything that might be helpful/useful/critical/whatever, lemme know. I'm not the sensitive type, I can take a little criticism (and there's plenty to criticize, I think haha). Gonna take pics tonight. If my girl's awake when I get done (she's the "tech genius" although I'm pretty sure you don't have to be a genius to know how to upload pics from a camera to a computer haha), I'll post them when I get done. If she's not, I'll have to wait until tomorrow night after work to post them. I'll post some of them on that Bodhi thread, too.

Glad to have you along for the ride!

I would love to help you but i know very little about soil growing I'm sorry to say. And i think you have some great people helping you out already!

Oh yeah, for sure. Plenty of helpful people around!

Notice the worst staking and tying job ever.... Swear I'm not lazy, but uh, i am kinda lazy haha.

The three Apollos. They look good in person, but in this pic, they're pretty gnarly-looking, no? And in person they're pretty gnarly-looking, too, but in a good way. I am not happy with this pic at all haha. I don't feel like it's doing any justice to how well these plants are doing. Having said that, they are a fucking mess. Branches everywhere (hope y'all can see that in these photos...), flimsy stems, shit is drooping and dangling all over the place. Im not mad, I knew that Apollo 11 tends to have weak branches and super-branchy and bushy growth patterns. Matter of fact, I'm happy about the way they're growing, cuz, I mean, that must mean they're legit, right?

More pics coming shortly. I'm posting these pics on my own this time. And I even downloaded them from the camera to the computer myself!!!! Hahaha!!! Having said that, I did it a different way than my girl does it (read: she makes it easier to see the pics before they're uploaded; I dunno what the fuck I did, but it's taking longer to check out the pics before I post them.... Whatever. I'll figure it out when she wakes up). But right now, I wanna smoke a cigarette, I'll be back in a bit to post the other pics. Everything's looking real good, though.

 

[Bulldog11]

Bro you will be so happy come harvest. One of the best tent grows on the site. I would be honored to smoke that bud. Great job so far.

 

[Minitiger]

For real? One of the best tent grows on the farm? Thank you! I've checked a few tent threads out here (meaning like a billion), so that means a lot to me. And of course, I'll have to say it again: couldn't have happened without your advice. Sooooo... Kudos to you, not me haha!

Gonna post some more pics in a minute. I think these pics will look better than the ones from last week. Fucked with the lighting and the camera some more, seems like the pics look a lot better(or at least not as "shadow-y" as the previous ones).

And I'd be honored to have you blaze this bud. If you're ever down SoCal way..... You know. I'm around haha.

 

[Bulldog11]

Got family in so cal, next time I will hit you up.

The difference I see in your tent, than most, is the quality. Hard to see over the internet, but when I see it, I know it.

Well that's all Coots and Bodhi, I think. Kinda hard to fuck up that combo.

Tons of pics coming in a sec. Had to wait for my girl to get off the computer. I dunno how she does it. Literally every morning, noon and night, from the second she wakes up until she goes to bed, she's dealing with work stuff. I feel bad, but I finally had to say,"Baby, can you get off the of there for a minute? I gotta post some shit on the farm," haha!!!

 

[Minitiger]

Pretty sure this is the smaller of the two Goldstars...

Another Apollo. Did I already post this pic? Sorry, it's Super Bowl day, whatever that means haha.

 

[Minitiger]

Judging from the red petioles, I think this one is the Clusterfunk, but I can't be certain. Looks good, though, whichever one it is.

I think this one is the Lemon Thai-leaning Prayer Tower, but again, I can't be sure. Sorry, but the very first sentence of this log was,"This will probably be the worst grow report ever...." haha. I started labeling the pics after I took this one, I think, so the next ones I post will be exactly what strain it is. Sorry, y'all....

 

[Minitiger]

Okay, this is the Goldstar #2, which is the taller, stretchier one. I really think that if I hadnt topped this one, it would've developed a fucking MASSIVE cola. Honestly, I think that most of the plants would've preferred to not be topped.

Full plant shot of the Goldstar #2. Yeah, I know, there's issues going on, but whatever. At this point I just wanna get this run over with and really plan the next one better. Definitely not gonna run more than three strains next time and will probably just go with two.

Which means I'll probably run like five or eight strains next time haha.

Close up of the big Goldstar...

Prayer Tower #2. The bigger, stretchier, more Appalachian-leaning pheno (based on what Bodhi had to say about it). Smells very Green Crack-ish and has actually taken the lead in the "which plant do I smell immediately after I open the tent?" race haha. It's smelling very strong, very mango-y and tropical. I expect this one to start getting back to the Chem funk that it was throwing last week. I hope it does, anyway. I like Green Crack but it's not really my favorite strain. I mean, grown well, it's pretty fucking good, but I do hope that the Prayer Towers get a little more, uh, Chem-y or whatever.

Anyway..... Here's a close-up of the bigger Prayer Tower pictured above. I don't wanna pat myself on the back or anything, but that shit looks fucking BOMB haha.

 

[Minitiger]

Goddamnit, I hate computers! Haha! This is the Prayer Tower shot I referenced above, before the close-up shot. Sorry, y'all. I got all confident and was like,"Ohhhhh yeah, I figured out how to upload pictures and shit, I don't need my girl's help anymore...." haha! Yet here I am, fucking up my thread....

 

[Minitiger]

Also forgot to mention, @Bulldog11 , I set the Apollos on top of some two-gallon smart pots last night. Doubt it'll make much of a difference this late, but if nothing else, it gives me a sense of ease having the canopy a little more even. I'm way too OCD to be having a foot or more difference in the height of the plants haha.

 

[hiiipower]

Killer run man, looks fire.

Sry to say but when you say PT smells like Green Crack that made my day big time. I'm not a huge fan of the chem smell myself, so I'll take tropical fruit all day. To each his own right! Not gonna lie, I was bummed a few weeks ago when you said they first smelled like burnt rubber haha, glad that changed. Beautiful long full colas on them too and they don't look that close to being done either. You got me stoked about those, nice going!
