Weekly -

Veg - that cold front and drop in humidity with nothing in flower sure showed itself with this batch of clones.

I was mistaken on the last pic, this is GoJo/DeathStar at 5 days into 12/12

Chemdog #4 x Okie 5 days into 12/12

The wife's hydro

Flowering 1 plant at a time I don't get to do a side by side comparison of buds.

Yield wise there wasn't but 20 grams difference but take an up close

Full Gas - Exodus cheese x Sherbert OG
This is the second of 2 pheno's I've flowered, I'll take this plant to 10 weeks flower time next cycle. Pulled the N a little too early this run but she is still excellent smoke.

494 grams
1.09 lbs.

Oreoz x Okie Wedding Cake - first time running the line from Tengu. I'm really liking what I am seeing, and smoking. Good smoke right here, this girl will in flower again. Actually she is the next to go back in if things work out. You've got a keeper right here @Trustfall

514 grams
1.13 lbs

weekly-

Veg - young mothers and 1 to flower, maybe today those new seeds have cracked

Day 1 of flower - these 2 went in 10 days ago, first signs of sex and luckily no nuts yet!

DeathStar/GoJo - you aren't going to do much trellis training with this plant. Stems are thick and dense as a 2 month old plant. There's no bending, to the point you'll break something. I was able to spread them out maybe 2 squares, 6" in all directions. Vertical growth on the main stems (8) stopped as soon as they were spread out. What's happening now is surprising to say the least, she is exploding from the ground up! But seriously check out the 3 pic, she is showing her potential right there.

Chemdog #4 /Okie - 3rd crop of this strain, 2nd of this pheno. She has earned a spot in rotation for the time being. Solid 1 lb. plant Stretch is manageable, has a bit of a weak stem for the heavy buds but that's ok, I like dense frosty buds. She is a pig though, 15 gallons gone in her first 10 days in the tray.

If we could get cannabis to grow like these zinnia's, clip off a flower and more grows back!!

this new oven is going to work out just fine. Paired it up with a set of silicone cook ware and this is slick. Set it and walk away then let the flower cool a bit without turning to dust. It’s the system to decarb I’ve wanted, all for $75 new. I’ve waisted a lot more trying to figure this out maybe some body can save a dollar from my research lol.
Processed a qp ready for some cooking oil. Holidays and all. Makes it far easier to decarb one day and make oil another.

Hard to believe 4 ounces can fit in there. Further you process the smaller it gets lol

The insulation board is a brilliant idea. Do you think it will Reflect more than flat white paint(85%).

Reflection wasn’t a goal really. I ran Mylar back in the day but it makes so little difference on a meter… better than black paint I suppose

 

[Gary7471]

Interesting subject. I suppose I will read more about it however tents are so affordable and the difference in reflectivity is so little why bother. LOL!

weekly -

Veg- seedlings are just being seedlings, Cali Blues gets the long neck award on this round. Oreoz, front 2 plants are slow to veg it seems. New strain for me and every line has it's own quirks. Time to take some cuttings off of a couple.

DeathStar/gojo - 1 week - Yep I broke a stem at the base trying to bend her out. I've super-cropped enough plants to know one thing, the heal themselves so darn fast! Broke her enough she leaned against the string but never wilted a leaf.

Chemdog #4/okie - 1 week - for the most part stretch is about over for this gal. Gave them both a Grow Safe bath. Good stuff, sends them into flower with a clean bill of health.

So the neighbor lady stopped by to swap Christmas candies and she just could not get over seeing flowering plants in December. Of course I took the dog inside so I could skip that conversation but she just kept on and on.

I wonder what she woulda said if she saw all of your other flowering ladies!

Right there with ya buddy. I like tents, they serve a purpose for some and they are the back bone for others. I have 2 actually but not in use currently. But, tents don't work for every style of grow. Or at least not here. This is flood/drain and I want (more of a must have) my resv. outside of the grow chamber. Plywood and foam sheeting was the best option for the wallet. Besides I enjoy tinkering in the shop.

I can bet ya my last dollar she has smelled it, especially when I decarb. Might not know where it's coming from but she has had to smell it

As long as she doesn’t come in your house floating, dressed as a toucan following her nose

I'm with you JJ, I'm a Type A tinkerer. I build more shit that I could have gone out and bought but there's something to that homemade feel that I like!

 

[jadins_journey]

Some times the old saying “you get what you pay for” is true. For the most part I’d rather build than buy, or at least find a cheaper way.

My press and now this heat plate are 2 shelf items I paid way too much money for, but worth every penny!
