A new dawn.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this sunny Saturday morning, hope your all well. Week one of flower has passed, and the plants are preparing to go for it, into the stretch period, no sign of flowers at the moment, some times plants flower in the first week, most show signs of flower in the second, so it looks like these are second week flowerers. The Aurora Indica is turning out to be a flat topped type, while the Sweet Valley Kush seems a tight straight type, the Gorilla Glue is a tall spreading type of plant, the other two won't catch it up in size or spread, in fact, the Gorilla is the problem child of the three, would have made a very good scrog plant on its own, I'd bet it would fill a 5x5 tent easily. No defs showing at the minute, just waiting for the plants to tell me they need more Potassium as they start week two of flower, no sign as yet, but I'm expecting to up it in the next week, keeps them munching. Pics.

Week one is gone, lets see what this week brings. Updates seem to get shorter every week. Until next week, just keep tokin folks.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this damp sunny morning, hope your all well. Week two of flower has passed, and week three started at lights on this morning. Got some good stretch this week, plants are turning into trees, the Gorilla Glue being the main culprit, as its twice the height of the other two, its going to be a light hugger I can see that already, and its been topped twice. Plants have good colour and flowers are starting to become obvious and looking like flowers. I've upped the Potassium, not because of a def, but more to avoid one. Pics.

Aurora Indica. Medium sized leaves for an Indica.




Sweet Valley Kush. Broad leaved plant compared to the other two.




Gorilla Glue. Seems a very Sativa based plant compared to other Gorilla's I've grown in the past, which seemed to have more Indica in them. Another thing with this Gorilla is the amount of flower it has, double what the other two plants have, it has the looks of a week four plant.




What will the Gorilla Glue produce on the flower front next week, seems to be twice the plant the Aurora and Sweet Valley are, hopefully this will make for bigger buds when its flowered out, we will have to wait and see. I'll bet it needs staking to keep it from falling over, no bad thing, just makes the plant look scruffy. So as we end the stretch period, will the Indica and Kush catch up with the Gorilla and make more muff, find out next week, here on Budbuilders, until then, just keep tokin folks.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this bright but wet Saturday morning, hope your all well. Today we start week four of flower, every thing is fine apart from the problem ape, while looking over the plants I discovered a herm bud, not open, but there any way. After a good herm hunt I managed to pick off five in total, not quite a grow destroyer, but enough to maybe produce seeds on all three plants. Not that this is a big problem to me as I don't smoke my weed any more, so no joint or bong explosions destroying my soft furnishings, or setting fire to the sofa, or cooky burning my favourite shirts. Due to my method of intake I can pick out the seeds, so no worries, just would prefer no seeds unless they are planned. The other two plants are fine and loving life, so no problems there. Looking at the plants characteristics, the Sweet Valley Kush has a really strong stem on it for its size, would be a nice plant to cross with another more wispy stemmed strain to thicken up the new strains stems. The Aurora Indica looks like its growing according to form, just like all the other Aurora's I've grown in past, but this strain has been around a long while so it should be stable. This Gorilla Glue seems to me to be more Sativa based than the first plants I saw, which was nearly twenty years ago though, when Mr Tight grew them. Back then they were cuttings only as there were no seeds available like there is today, people were going mad for cuttings, sent through the post in jars with built in battery LED lights to keep them going in the post, don't know if this is still happening, strange how things move on over time. Pics.

Sweet Valley Kush. Good strong stem on it, would make a good outdoor plant, hard to blow over.






Gorilla Glue. Twice the size and spread of the other two plants.




If you look under the flower you can see the herm flower bud, and another in the top left corner on another stem.


Apart from the Gorilla's foray into seed production we are still on course for a nice harvest, unless the other plants have rebellion on their minds. So what does week four hold in store for us, wish I knew, and there is still only one way to find out, and that is? Pop back next week and find out, until then, just keep tokin folks.

Sure is a hugger, it has half the total grow space, its going to fall over, I can see it coming.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this frosty but very sunny morning, hope your all well. Here we are starting week five of flower, we're still mean and green with no defs which is the main goal in this period of the plants life cycle, flowers are gold as they say. None of the other two plants have produced herm flowers like the Gorilla Glue, no bad thing, means that any seeds the Aurora or Sweet Valley produce are from the Gorilla putting its self out there, no seeds are evident, but its still early, so some thing to look out for a little later in flower. All in all the grow is going well and I'm happy with it, only down side was losing the Chocolate Skunk, doing that at seedling stage is probably the best out come if you have to lose one, that way, if you have another plant waiting to go into flower then you can replace your lost seed or seedling with that. This is the week that I enjoy the best when it comes to flower, I like the next two weeks where the flowers are at peak muff, probably this week and next will be peak flower, five and six, so looking forward to this part of the plants life. Pics.

Aurora Indica. Nice flat leaves taking in that orange sunshine, and a good start to the plants flower.

Gorilla Glue.






And another update is added to my grow log. Its amazing how fast we can achieve a large sized archive, even my self, as I only really post once a week, and as I was flicking through the back pages, it didn't take long before I'd spent another hour reading and remembering past grows, how time passes. Anyway, I have things to do, so if your passion is growing things, and you just can't help your self, then pop back and see how much muff these ladies put out over the next couple of weeks, until then, just keep tokin folks.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this rainy Saturday morning, hope your all well. This morning at sun up we started week six. I have to say that the scent from these babes, and I'm glad I only have three plants, is quite alarming as it's still illegal to grow cannabis here, although its not a hanging offence, no one likes to get their collar felt. Apart from that we are all good, and cruising to victory, three more weeks and we should know what we will end up with, roughly. There is a massive difference in bud size, the Gorilla Glue buds dwarf the buds on the other two plants, the next biggest being the Aurora Indica which is the shortest of the trio. The Sweet Valley Kush is second tallest, but has the smallest buds, this may change in the next three weeks, but normally by week the end of week six the plants have set out their stalls, we will see. Pics.

Gorilla Glue, not quite a light hugger, but its doing its best.






Aurora Indica. This plant has the second most muff of the three.




Sweet Valley Kush. Smallest flowers.






What will week six bring? We should see the buds fatten up a bit, seeds if there are any, should start to show, I doubt I picked every herm flower before they opened, I'll be shocked if I have, as you always miss at least one. Don't know what its been like in your neck of the woods this Winter, but its been dark and wet all Winter here, its been an absolute pleasure to open the grow space and be greeted by wall to wall bright orange sunshine, even if it is HPS driven. So, if you would like to see how this week goes, then pop back next week and find out, until then, just keep tokin folks.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this quite rainy Saturday morning, hope your all well. Week seven has arrived, nannar spotting starts, not seen any signs of any, more so with the Gorilla Glue which put out the herm flowers, as it may have a last gasp attempt to make some seed, eyes are pealed. Still no defs, the odd leaf is curling a little, and a bit of roast on the Gorilla Glue buds closest to the light, other than that we are all good. Plenty of muff being produced so I'm expecting good sized buds on all three plants. The Gorilla Glue is true to form with the big buds at the top that tend to pull your stems over, which is no big deal, just means they have to be tied up with a bit of string to a stake. If the Aurora Indica carries on as it is, it should produce some nice sized bud on it, this would be nice, as I find the Aurora's seem to produce small buds, potent, but small. Not that small is a problem, as I remember as a young toker, a friend brought me some weed wrapped up in news paper, the buds were the size of a squirels testicles on the stem, and not very appealing to the eye, my friend said give it a go, but as you know from the times in your past, that nine out of ten times you can tell the quality by looking, well times were hard, so I rolled a splif and fired it up, and with in ten minutes I was nailed to the chair I was sat in, and in typical stoner fashion, I had things to do. So small buds are not the end of the world. Pics.

Aurora Indica. Got some good muff on them.






Sweet Valley Kush. Doesn't look to be a big producer, we'll see what it looks like on the drying hangers, don't think it will fill a hanger, would like to be wrong though.






Gorilla Glue. Big top buds. Some muff on this plant.




Slowly but surely we are getting there, once week seven is out the way we should cruise to harvest with out any major set backs. Looking at the pics, harvest will be around week ten, seems a long time, but as we all know, plants take as long as they need. Don't know if the muff faze will carry on next week, or will we see the first signs of cinnamon hairs, only one way to find out. Until then, just keep tokin folks.
