Here comes the resin...

CVK Chem pheno

CAPO · Mar 7, 2010

I changed my mind today on the Chem pheno, not needing to be staked...even though she's stout and not too tall, she is however starting to pack on some weight.
Not to sure I'll end up keeping her...I got 2 packs of Chemdog D S1's in the vault.

I'm really starting to understand how Swerve thinks the OG and Chem are related, just through the smells alone.

I think she'll definitely yeild better staked...the canopy is pretty dense on these girls, getting deeper light penetration is always a good thing.:cool

Yeah I can't believe I'm not running any pure chems but I've got my hands full right now. They will be the next addition to my garden but right now i want to focus on getting the best phenos of what I'll working right now, then after I thin it out to a few nice moms I'll start looking for "my" chem.:smirk

Have been having some crazy shit happen in my life the last 2 weeks so I haven't been able to give the girls as much love as I would like to, but CC genetics look like they'll keep me plenty happy anyways, they always have. :smiley_joint:

Now you're blowing up too. So many are blowing up around here. Too bad I can't e-sample your weed man! It's gonna be great!

looking killer Bro!

Thanks guys! Today I found a few mites on the ROGs! I spent 2 hours going leaf by leaf and squishing the little bastards and their EGGS! Those little f'ers seem to know their weed too...they only hit the ROGs. lol

Since tomorrow is the end of week 4 it's gonna have to be hand to hand combat for the next month and half.

Official weekly updated photos will be taken tomorrow unless I spend all day mite picking. :evilgrin0031:

Even with the mites joining the party the ROGs started put out some frost! Bumping up the Hydroplex last week probably helped a little too.

Like all the other photos here this was taken with a phone camera so I never really know how good..or bad they are til I get them on a computer. I thought this one looked like a throw away on the phone but I'm pretty impressed with the clarity of the trichs. One weird thing.. the leaf in the upper left corner that looks like it has yellow spots.. It doesn't look like that in person. I think the leaf tissue has been damaged either by the mites or my hands (removing the mites) and that the yellow is light shining through the leaf. I'm going to have a closer look tomorrow.. weird..

I had great luck with a few HOT SHOTS mite killer units ($10) from home depot. They killed everything in my first grow. They don't work for everyone (but I think they aren't used well by some), but they worked perfectly for me. I should have used them earlier and first. They last for a while too and kill the eggs. I would get a few of them (at least 2-3). Put one in the middle, then 2 on the outsides and blow them at the plants with a fan.

This will NOT effect the taste of health of you or your plants. Just my 2 cents! Don't wait too long and if you don't use HOT SHOTS, use FLORAMITE which means business. Foothill hydro in Burbank sells it by the ounce at the cash register.

With such great stacking I can't imagine you seeing every egg laying mite. Even if you see all the mites, they will come back from the eggs (I promise - they almost always do). Use something or you will really slow the progress of your flowering. Do this too late and they will destroy any super nugs. You still have time! Don't want to curse you and make you panic, but at least get the Hot Shots for insurance. $20-30 to save your grow...

HOT SHOTS installed a few hours ago... Hope they do the trick for me. Too late for Floramite.. This is for me and I don't want anything that's been sprayed during flower. I'm gonna also try and knock the temp down a few degrees and get the humidity back up to 45 for a week or two. I'll give the Hot Shots and my hands a week then see who's winning and decide what to do from there. :character0110:

Tex · Mar 15, 2010

Real nice man.. Great grow and cannot wait to see your flame in a few weeks..

PureSugar · Mar 15, 2010

Thanks Tex!

Sorry guys no picts today..Time change got me off to a late start. I'll snap a few tomorrow. Can't tell if the Hot Shots are working yet but I did seem to notice the mites I found today seemed to be easier to smash and didn't seem to be in their normal spots close to the viens of the leaves. The weather isn't working with me right now.. I want to lower my temps and raise humidity but it was 10F warmer today than last week and RH has dropped, making it really tough to keep humidity up as the A/C is now running more and drying the room even more. I was planning on watering today but the plants still felt heavy so even though I would have loved to water today, which raises the humidity I decided to hold off til tomorrow to feed.

The CVKs especially the Sat leaning ones are really starting to fill out.

PureSugar · Mar 16, 2010

OK.. Tied them all down except for the HPS table (they didn't stretch as much as the dual arc side) ...and the picts...

1. ROG (I really had to tie her down she was towering over everything else)
2. ROG (Shot from above..couldn't fit the whole plant in the pict the biggest nug is out of the shot :doh)
3. ROG (close up of ties attached to pot)
4. CVK Sat pheno
5. CVK Chem pheno
6. Shot of full table
7. Shot of HPS table 2 CVK Sat (right side) 2 CVK Chem (left side) I did the best I could to remove the orange cast but the colors are far from true.
