Eledin's corner of the multiverse

I said no weird experiments this time and I toped like 3 plants in flower but I think thats fine, they dont look behind the only problem is one that has the two top buds together and its bound to get moldy so I placed the net right in between them. When the lights go on in a couple of hours I will give update of the other indoors plus pics with the lights off so you can better see the bud sites.

Now for the small indoors as promissed, theyre doing well too:

The nagger that didnt shut up while I was making the video

Bending the broke way

Pictures with lights off; big indoors

Small indoors

I think Ill be able to get better coverage during the next week of bending, even though the empty space where the kmintz is its gonna remain quite empty unfortunately hahaha, not a very big plant.

Im also not lollipoping this time. Im aiming more towards dry weight rather than big fat colas. In my experience, those small buds dont affect the upper buds that badly, even though removing them and the shitty branches certainly helps, but I have use for them, kief! Its been a long while since Ive down a grow with no defolation, thats why I gathered the shitty supplementary LEDs I had and used them to be able to get more light to penetrate to the lower leaves.

Oh I totally forgot to mention, in the vids and pics theyre in the second week, next monday will be third week of 12/12.
I actually started with 13/11 and was planing on keeping it like that but they were growing too tall in the small indoors and they were taking a bit longer developing the pistils so I said fuck it, I need it, 12/12 it is. But Im my next grow I wanna try 13/11 all flower, Ive seen some interesting lab results about THC content being increased for certain strains. (Afghani lineages mostly)

Man this street weed is bitter and harsh. Beatiful buds though, and its also a sweet lemony Amnesia, not very much on the pine side which I like, one of the sweetests amnesias Ive tried but I miss my organic weed.

 

[Eledin]

Another thing I forgot, so far Im feeding nothing but big bud and bud candy, the supersoil I made for the transplant was hotter this time and its saving me some nutes.
EDIT: Oh yes and ata flavor, molasses with nitrogen, and a bit of calmag, which also has some nitrogen so they dont only have the PK from big bud. Silica once per month, its easy for potassium silicate to leave leftover salts for a while and they use less silica than calcium.
What Im basically not using yet is Iguana Juice and a few other supplements like kelp cause its already in the soil.

Ill put some oregano aswell, that shit got me high af in when I was 12.
Just kidding but just so you know, yes I smoked oregano and also chamomille. Both are disgusting but by far oregano is the worst, very spicy. Chamomille tastes fine but will make you cough your lungs out. Dont ask why, I didnt have tobbaco many years ago and felt brave enough to try, once.

don't think i'll ever smoke oregano..... sounds truly horrible. thyme or rosemary is my thing (just kidding ).

great to see some update pics. looks like a fine spread......

Thanks! If it wasnt for the kmintz it would be great but theyre very smol. I still have 1 more week of stretching so I think I can get an even better coverage once I can pass more branches below the net, but only for the dosidos, the kmintz is not stretching much. For clarification again, I have 1 kmintz on each indoors, which is where is not covered and 3 dosidos on each indoor, which are covering the tent nicely.

Just did a bottom watering. Theyre taking longer than usual to dry which makes me think that since I swaped to flower earlier than usual maybe the roots have not colonized the whole pot yet so I want them to reach for that water at the bottom. Instead of having my pots lifted I have arlite on the bottom of the pots which allows me to bottom feed without causing cold feet, root rot or oxygen depravation.

i already switched mine to flower. i don't feel i had an optimal root developement or plant size with the present grow, but after how long the last grow took me i just wanted to finish my present grow quicker. i don't imagine i'll see as much to harvest this time unless they stay healthier to the end than grow 4. i am seeing more stretch this time though.

you've got good equipment and know how so i gotta figure you'll end up some primo shit..

gonna be great to see some super fine bud...

Green tea you can try and maybe you get anxiety from coffein?

You never know! I had grows where I didnt have any high hopes and surprised me and viceversa.
Also thanks for the compliment! But my equipment is far from good, its all chinese cheap stuff hahaha fans were less than 20 dollars each, lights around 60 each. I could really benefit from some good equipment to be honest, I dont even use carbon filters because theyre expensive and since Im growing outside of public view its legal, in Spain, so the neighborhood is gonna have to learn to like it if they have not by now
EDIT: Now that I think about it the most expensive things in my grows are the tents, and one doesnt even have myllar or any reflectant, just paint similar to mylar color that is wearing off, still 70 euros. The small one I bought with better quality reflectant surface and it wasnt much more than the other.

I might start taking some leaves today and the usual few inches branch from the bottom if any. I didnt plan on touching them at all but I really wanna get some more light to the bottom and I dont wanna deal with pests, theyre very bushy. That said I will remove only the minimum, a few fan leaves from the main stem and not much else.
Usually I lollipop and also pinch shitty bud sites but this time everything that produces trichomes is welcome.

 

[Eledin]

The hyperactive mind of a pothead:
3:26am - Fuck man, should I get rid of some leaves now or try to go to sleep? Nah you aint getting sleep yet, youre high as fuck though, shit. One more joint and Ill get it done... shit theyre getting smelly and frosty, I like it

 

[Eledin]

Also what I have in that glass is vinegar, suggar and dish soap, so far only 1 fruit fly so the thuringiensis is working, Ive seen a gnat here and there but not for long. If at some point the thuringiensis is not enough I have DE.
Usually I would lollipop them but Im wondering about dry weight with minimal defoliating and keeping the shitty buds for kief. Also dont wanna slow them down one bit. Im in a hurry hahaha.

Aaand another 300 spent on weed which makes it 550 in less than a month. Everyone tells me that I smoke too much but Im like "I do spliffs and is not even 50/50" but to be honest I smoke more than 20 per day so... in reality Im always stoned and always with a spliff in hand.
I cant smoke pure green man, not only I cant because I cough a lot, but also it gives me anxiety. The tobbaco makes the high milder, more like being in a bubble instead of having an existential crisis.
When I vape weed at 160ºC the same happens, only the THC is evaporated at that temp, if I go to 190 more terpenes and the little CBD thats there also evaporates and it decarbs and all and its a bit milder but still only for when I wanna get really high.

By now I would have lollipoped them and Im starting to notice the difference (its been so long since Ive not done a just let it go grow that I dont remember). A plant seems like is gonna give smaller upper buds than the others, which is probably due to the lack of defolation, the mid section of the buds is better for all of them though and the lower section as usual is gonna be popcorn buds which are welcomed too this time, and the side lightning is helping them develop faster and a bit bigger, hopefully more dense too.
Still have done 0 defolation, only the first true leaves that fell before transplant on their own, the first set of fan leaves is still there. Kinda interested to see if they can help put more weight with the side lights.
Still not using a base NPK liquid, only some supplements. Thinking about feeding them iguana juice in the next watering, if I dont see signs of toxicity I will start pushing some liquid nutes to see how much they can handle.

 

[Eledin]

The super soil I made has fed them for almost 2 months by now and still theyre not hungry, but its time to push some nutes and see how fat I can get those buds.
I used a tablespoon, sometimes more depending on the ammendment, of each ammendment for each gallon and a half of soil more or less. Thats how I meassure my recipe
I think I got used to go by eye, I know how to make a light ammended soil for seedlings and I know how to make a hot soil for transplants even though so far this one is the hottest I made and I have not seen any toxicity besides 1 or 2 leaves with a bit of excess nitrogen.

Running out of lactobacillus, I might film the process of making more in case anyone is intereseted, will start today when lights go on and I can do the update of the small indoors (last one was from the big one)
