Grow diary mission impossible (low to medium budget lol)

[Sunin]

So originally I had two indoor Raskals and I took clones off of one of them (one turned male) and my dumbass doesnt remember which I took the cutting from! i know so we’ll see!

Boooolabong it is
I will root for them all
It's Rascal family now

The amount of soil used is one of the reasons I do the 3 gallon sizes, if I went to 5 gallon I would have to purchase almost double.

I have my watering dialed in where it's every other day, I could get away with using a little more water and going an extra day but I like to look the plants over good when I water so I like the every other day routine.

I have a hard time keeping out of my space (which im pretty sure in the beginning you told me to give it a rest) but if I could get a similar watering schedule to your Id be a happy guy! : )

Flowering update! Cut the feedings to only water and the bud stuff mix I got. Maybe one more of those in a few days and then just water for the duration. Getting really close. Seeing some amber triche even on one of the XXs! Time for a loupe !

I may be trying a short veg into flower with half my “outdoor” clones I took a while ago. Didn’t time it right to get my seeds popped and vegged, which I’ll be doing very soon. Those will then get the proper veg and flower times. And subsequent runs will be timed appropriately “room enhancements” to follow which is kind of why things aren’t timed as well as they could be. And its me doing the project so I like to spice it up a little bit with ADD and ADHD ️

Also! Is this plant full of seeds? It looks like swollen calyx’s but would like a second opinion. It’s the one Raskals. !!Plant in question are the first THREE PICS!! Thanks all!

Looking good bear that pic after the one of the scrog especially

(Sorry I can’t help with your question but if there isn’t seeds in them they are some nice juicy buds!)

Thanks spurs! No worries : ) I’m not really worried about it just more curious and wanting to identify what I’m looking at lol. ( got to the bottom of typing my response and realized the plant in question was sitting next to the raskal male!)

Thank you! The scrog was purely a “I need to do something here” and didn’t even realize what I was doing ( I applied this technique to my outdoor grows years ago). I will definitely do it again but with a more heavy defoliation throughout. I think if I had of trimmed a little better I could have maximized: )

I was wondering where are updates
left upper corner on group photo- girl likes donuts definitely with sprinkles

Shes got the best smell out of all of them! Very fruity! Such a wide variety of differences in the same strain of weed : ) ill try and get some loupe pics in the next couple of days (ordered one after the phone just wasn’t cutting it for nice pics!). But yeah she is definitely healthy! I think if I do end up running all the cuttings indoor i can figure it out and keep her going. I’ll just need to get the numbering system started now : ) worth it IMO.

I read all 27 pages of this thread and have to say it was some of the best damn reading I've done in a long time...

 

[BearWater]

Yeah but then you guys tell me im messing around in there too much!

When I first noticed I tried to pinch it a little and couldnt really get a good squeeze on it. It’s all good : ) ride’n this one all the way out hahaha.

Thanks Technodroide! It’s getting real close! I think my loupe is out in the mail box! Trich pics coming soon!

No way!! thanks for the kind words! Lots to decipher through but there is a grow journal in there somewhere!hahaha! Im going to keep this one rolling so whatever’s happening here on the the funny farm will be loud and proud thanks for spending the time to read through! Hopefully you were able to pick something out of it! : )

 

[BearWater]

Alright, trichome pictures as promised (take that as loosely as you will) and one non loupe pic ( sure hope some of this stuff smokes smoother than it looks!) and in all seriousness I’ll try and get some decent pics as the plants mature a bit more.

MONDAY JULY 22nd:

Started the (third run) seeds today. Grandads Lavender and Larry Breath, both are non feminized photo periods. Im going to start and hopefully get an enough females to clone from to get a nice solid run of these two strains. Im also going to throw a few sativas I have already going into this run. Was thinking popping the SFV OG seeds I have but think I have enough on my plate at the moment to get me by.

These seeds are currently soaking in purified water and will get put into paper towels this evening, the GDLs are older so we’ll see what happens. I didn’t put anything in the water and I didnt “scuff” or “notch” any parts of the seed.

Worked on the indoor this morning! The girls were looking thirsty, so I have them the usual amount of water with still only the Natures Brix. I went out there with the pruning shears in hand to grab a little taster tester and after much deliberation amongst me myself and the the other dudes I decided to just wait couple weeks maybe? Three for a couple here’s some more “trichome pics” and the one taken without the loupe : )

 

[BearWater]

New shit has come to light, man!Went out again to check the plants because I wanted to see their response to watering/feeding from earlier, and noticed what looks like mite damage to the lower part of a single plant with it moving upward (just noticed it today!!!! ) and the buds on the lower end look like they are getting eaten by mites. Oh boy! so do I panic and throttle out of this and chop or do I treat the entire room (being so close to harvest?) I think the real only option is to treat the entire grow. Here’s the pics I could come up with. Im going to go start reading on a “scorched earth” but “safe for their stage of flower” spray.

First thing I would do is get that plant out of there! And make sure it is mites!

Almost knee jerked and did that! Damnit. So I’ll take it out of the shed and stick on the porch? Give it the ole quick dry! My hearts hurting the more I think this plan through

 

[Oldchucky]

You should’ve known things were going to smooth! That’s the life of a coop grower! If it is mites maybe you haven’t transferred them to the other plants yet! And if I had to spray something on my buds, it would probably be an alcohol water mix! Alcohol, evaporates, pretty good! But just talking out of my ass!
