Thanks for tagging us @lenhug !! Looking good

 

[lenhug]

Ha, no worries @homegrowncannabisco

Anyway, time for a v v long overdue update, sheesh! Well, it's been a busy old time and such is life.

Anyway, we are now a couple of weeks in to flower and they are beginning to stretch. Been v interesting how their demands have changed over time. In veg, the sativas at the back were all in for a higher EC whilst indicas not so much. Now we're in to flower that has completely swapped round and I had to back it off a little. Trying to find the sweet spot for all is obvious a challenge!

Good learning process though as have had to nurse a few back from the edge already due to various reasons, sativas still not quite there but slowly coming back I think. So onwards we go...

Think will be at least another 2 weeks of stretch (slightly worrying!) and then a big final defoliation once they stop and buds are the main event. Have been snipping here and there to open up bud sites, clear dead leaves and improve airflow as needed.

Amazing how a beautiful mess turns into a beautiful mess. Nice job. It'll be fun to watch them flower.

 

[homegrowncannabisco]

Great photos @lenhug - a beautiful mess indeed.

 

[lenhug]

So did a big res swap last night as they move in to Gen Period I on the Canna schedule. 20gals all told with some extra runclean and calimagic in there to try and help all but particularly the two sativas.

There was some gunk in the pipes and also trays and both the sativas had their roots in to the trays somehow. All sorted now so hopefully this fresh res will perk them up some more.

 

[lenhug]

As much as i love mixing all the different nutes up it is a bit of a ball ache if I'm honest. Thinking i might try the cropsalt range next go round as much simplified and hear good things about them.

 

[lenhug]

Back to a more exciting and important query though, with 4/20 just around the corner what has anyone been buying strains/offer wise so far or plan to?

I've dipped my toe in with some Missouri Dad strains and some type 2 from Hoku Seeds so far. Must resist more but we all know how it is...

 

[lenhug]

I'm terrible with the updates but we're deep in to flower now and they're ok but still been a bit finickety. I'll update with some pics this week.


In the meantime, here are my outdoor season ladies.

Northern Hashplant - A v kind forumite - excited for this one!
Gelato 41 - Atlas Seeds (from a friend).
Cinderella Man x GG4 - Trustfall - what happened to them (Variety719, seemed to fall off around Dec last year)?
Mystic Valley - Hoku Seeds (Type 2: THC/CBD) - San Fernando Valley OG (THC) x Fyre OG (CBD) - Love me some type 2 and this should go well seeing as I'm in the SFV!

3 x potted up in their final 5gal homes.
1 x Hoku a few weekd behind.

The larger three have just had their second topping this week and first LST today. The Hoku will be transplanted in the next few days.

Hope you're well @Lockebox

Anything exciting in your garden at the moment or planned?

 

[lenhug]

Three down, one to go!

The Durban Poison is dried and curing, the 4516 and Pineapple Skunk are drying and last but not least the Blue Dream (seen above) is just nicely showing some lovely senescence as she gets close to the end. Another week or two and she'll be good I think. I have some thoughts on the whole grow which I'll share later.

Hope everyone's grows are going well, I'll drop an update with my outdoor ladies later but looking good there as well I have to say.

 

[lenhug]

Here's the final lots of them, not the best pics now they're all bagged up but there you go. Soon to be time to partake after a nice cure.

Pineapple Skunk

Blue Dream

It was not the best return yield wise but had so many issues crop up in turn that felt like I was chasing my tale at times it seemed. You can also see some painted nails as I like to say on a lot of them (burnt tips). Grow went on far, far too long but that's ok. Next time round with the photos I'll be far more strict and give them exact number of weeks for veg and then move on.

Now on to my outdoor grow which is coming along nicely but am moving house shortly so that'll be fun! I was also away for a few weeks so they are currently in a neighbours garden, will update with pics over the weekend. Suffice to say they are all flowering except for the Northern Hashplant which is having absolutely none of it and still in veg...lol!?

 

[lenhug]

Ok, here we go, outdoor season ahoy:


Gelato 41 (Atlas)

Mystic Valley (Hoku)

Cinderella Man x GG4 (Tengu)

Northern Hashplant (Golden)

All

 

[Tumbleweed375]

They are looking happy and healthy outdoors. The hard work is showing

 

[Greenjourneyman]

Good looks man.
Cali sun doing work!

 

[lenhug]

Thanks @Tumbleweed375 and @Greenjourneyman !

They definitely like that sun! Hope you're both well and your grows are rewarding you mightily.

 

[lenhug]

Oh, oh dear...that's not what I was looking for. The N Hashplant explains why he isn't flowering!





I did wonder if it was at times but having no direct experience was unsure but now definitely confirmed. Luckily, they are round at a neighbours garden so have bagged up and chopped him and brought back to my place. Hopefully not affected the other three ladies.

Aah well, will try and collect some pollen tomorrow maybe (have it bagged in a cool room overnight) as never done that before and try another one down the line. All a good learning process.

Any advice v much welcome!
