Hello folk's, I hope everyone is well?
So I had some success with the cbb cuts this is good to grow.
20240505_182650.jpg
it just needs time now, hmm i hope its worth the trouble 😂

End wk 5 today.

They all smell great but in their own way, fruity candy, lemon/lemonade, sour milky, burning rubber, sweet yeasty and pine/piney, I can't wait to get wrapping them in joints.

According to my rough calculations it's time to start more seeds for my next crop so that's going to be fun.

I'm going to run some clones but also run some seeds at the same time, a more manageable amount this time say 5/6 female seed plants, I'm going to see what catches my eye 👀

Take it easy folk's.
 
Hello folk's, things are moving along nicely I've even harvest one plant and I can see a couple of others don't have too long to go?

Vegging with 12-12 doesn't really have a flip date for referencing but it looks ready to me?

Hey bud thanks for looking, the white is black and white panda plastic with a slot and a few cuts to let it seal around the stems.

They help with humidity and they keep algea of my pots, not a problem itself but it's unsightly.
20240108_143413.jpg
I also get some bonus root growth under there, the humidity trapped in with them encourages roots.

Cheers
 
Panda film! I couldn’t remember the name of that stuff. Thank you. The grow looks fantastic by the way.
 
Hello folk's it's been a while I hope everyone is well?

Things are cruising along better than expected, normally I'd give them 10 weeks in flower after sexing and re potting this time 7th week and I've 2 harvested with a 3rd ready to cut.20240521_120319.jpg20240521_115759.jpg20240521_115752.jpg20240521_115734.jpg20240521_115728.jpg20240521_115722(0).jpg20240521_115701.jpg
I've never had plants ready so quickly its barely 9 weeks since sexing?

Besides some minor changes the only thing I done diffrent this time was changed the timer to 11/13 the day I re potted to flower?

I decided to try 11/13 after watching a YouTube video someone posted the dude grows and logs 11/13, 12-12 and 13/11.
Screenshot_20240114_212134_YouTube.jpg
The dude knows his way around a plant imo it's worth a listen if you're bored.
Oh...the other one I harvested.
20240515_115426.jpg
I'm pretty stoked with how things are coming together.

Last week i prepared a selection of seeds they'll be getting the same 12/12 for vegging and 11/13hrs after sexing.20240517_210003.jpg
Bluchi v3, coastal blueberry, blueberry twist, lemon cherry gelato and fruity pebbles, I'm going to flower a few favourite clones to keep me going, omg it's going to be fun 😁

Take it easy folk's
 
Hello folk's, ye hey it's that time, I've made a start on harvesting, mixed crops are a bit of pain to finish but I think I've good happy medium except for the two potted up last I'd like to give them another couple of weeks.20240530_154349.jpg20240530_154343.jpg20240530_154335.jpg20240530_154331.jpg20240530_154319.jpg
I've a couple I cut back to the lower nodes and re potted it later on with coastal blueberry.
its had quite an effect on the overall flowering time considering they're all the same age from seed.
20240530_154158.jpg
This one has rhubarb like smell, acidic or sour smell with a bit sweetness to it, when I give it a rub it reminds me of rhubarb dipped in sugar.
20240416_164246.jpg
20240530_154152.jpg
It's a new bud aroma to me has anyone encountered buds with a rhubarb smell?

Take it easy folk's
 
I've got them cut down now some are pretty respectable considering they were vegged in 12-12 then grown 2 plants to a pot.

There's few other nice ones but I couldn't work the camera without getting it covered in resin, it's happened before and it was difficult af to keep it lit 😂

#3 lost skunk clone I'm still trying to wrestle roots from it so I've left a few buds on the mother as a failsafe?
I've re cut it but it's still reluctant to root, worst cast I'll re veg the buds.

Take it easy folk's

I'm disappointed that the next crop is cancelled for the foreseeable future (cry)
I've got seedlings in all different stages from fkd up recovering to freshly sprouted so that's going to take some time to get them all on the same page 🤐

I might divert and flower mums and the best of the seedlings but it still leaves the problem of the other seedlings having nowhere to go?

I know what ya mean by getting them all on the same page.
I've come close to wiping out the whole lot and clearing the plate to start over and my plant numbers are never what I want or predict but within it all it's still funand there will be some good pot at the end just maybe not as much as hoped and sometimes even more than expected.
It's the hunt that keeps us going. 😋
Good luck and very nice haul you have posted here!
 
Hey folk's it's been a while i hope everyone is well?

I frickin derailed when shit hit the fan and had some down time.

I ended flowering the mums and re cloning my favourites for new mums (edit + the seeds I was left with.
20240802_134329.jpg

Hello folk's, so I've started working towards harvesting they're ready so I've been giving them a few days of plain water.20240825_132939.jpg20240825_132933.jpg20240825_132922.jpg20240825_132907.jpg20240825_132835.jpg20240825_132812.jpg20240825_132636.jpg

I potted 20 seeds over the weekend a mix of fem/reg to ensure I've enough females for a nice crop.
20240825_132309.jpg
This should've been started 3wks ago tbh 😐
 
Gorgeous buds man, gonna be a sweet harvest. How do you like those little starter bags those are biodegradable where you can just plant the whole thing in the next pot right?

Hey bud, thank you 🍻
I really like those pouches they're handy for clones, seeds and potential mothers.

20240719_214853.jpg
The ones in the top pic are 11x13cm and clone pic ones are 9x11cm, $4/5 per 100 on ebay.
20240720_115816.jpg
Yes you can just pot them up 👍
 
Hey folk's, I sowed the seeds late Saturday night without soaking which I'd normally do.

When should i expect see signs of life?
None have broken ground yet 🤞
 
You were right @GrumpAzz thank you, I'm starting to see the start of them, I've couple growing out root 1st so Ive turned them around.
Normally I've a small tap root to tell me which way is down 😂
Is it the pointy end?
 
Hey folk's so it's harvest day 🎉
I've a few pics.

I was planning to harvest earlier this week but got sidetracked and went fishing.
20240828_170042.jpg
This morning I got everything ready to just go in and cut so I'm having a cup of tea and a joint then going to chop them.
20240830_110252.jpg
Have a great weekend folk's 🫡
 
It's always nice to get to this point it's always a thrill.
20240830_210124.jpg
I had 2 pots with 2 plants this time they don't appear to be any different to ones grown individually in fact they're better than some.
20240830_195856.jpg
Yeah it appears to work without problems 🤫
 
Hey folk's I hope everyone is well, it's been ages I've been dealing with fungus gnats.
20241002_123034 (1).jpg
2nd of October I put the the pots into bags it's only just looking like the gnats are finished, they hatched up until last week.
20241107_185152.jpg
It's interesting rhe plants don't seem to care about the bags.
20241202_153610.jpg
20241202_153524.jpg
They're doing fine and the gnats are gone without spending money or using poison.

Last wed/thurs I soaked seeds in a solution of nitrozyme and peroxide then planted them on Saturday morning.
20241203_121635.jpg
There's a couple of stragglers but all in I'm happy with them.

So gnats suck it's the first time I've dealt with them I intend it to be the last.

You can get these paint straining bags for about a £1 each ebay, I'm going to keep my mums in them to prevent them getting near, if you miss one you're fkd before you know it.

Hey, nice stuff you grow there. You've done this before, Beautiful strains too.

I've never had a problem with the Gnats either but at first sign of them I put fans blowing right over the top of the soil and scrape the top inch of soil off. after a few days and the top of the soil is dry I'll top it off again but that seems to do it.
I keep the fans blowing over the tops of the pots for a while afterwards

I've not had to deal with them in the autopots but I only flower in them I read something about if they can't fly they can't mate....seems to work

Hi mate.had a froend on the other forum that used similar bags for his seedlings in the Uk..are you Fudge reborn 😀
the picture of the creek is so like ours here.stocked with brownies and rainbows…
 
Great photos and beautiful fish mate..that first browny …gee she is long and slender .all are in great nic too..i use to fish everyday when I was younger.had the Derwent river in Tasmania pretty much just below my house .always swimming with mates and using spinners and tassie wobblers by day and wattle grubs at nite.we only got the sea runners once a yr going up river to spawn.they were the ones to catch and were better eating and were awesome fighting fish .the rainbows are too ,even the little ones put up a tremendous fight for there size .i use to stand on this rock halfway out in the river and cast to this wide waterfall and was always guaranteed a fish just before dusk .it was a fight to bring them in with me running backwards towards the bank with one on .i never used a net…I should get back out there..loved the sound of the river all the hustle in life just seems to fade away out there..
 
Sat 7th Dec flipped them...
Morning folks, my seedlings are coming along nicely there's 21 of 22 sprouted that's a result itself 🥳

I've put the late sprouts in the clone tent and flipped the others at 7 days...
Day #1
20241209_132805.jpg
Pic 9th Dec...
If you're wondering about the red veins they only had a heat matt under them for the 1st two nights and temps were down to 12/14C⁰

I've been putting around 600ml of nutrient directly into the tray then letting them suck it up, it it's real easy going.
20241205_154208.jpg
I've been feeding clones/mums from the bottom for ages they're doing ok.

Its looking like the fungus gnats are completely gone now it's been two weeks since I seen one.

Take it easy folk's
 
Sorry folks I didn't have an updated photo to post earlier i hadn't seen my plants at the time.
20241211_141617.jpg
20241211_182505.jpg
These two sprouted after the others and they've been slow since so I'm unsure about them but they'll get a fair chance.
 
Dec 14th 2wks old and 1wk flipped.
20241214_181148.jpg
There's 2 a little slow I've put them in 24hrs 1 is deffo going to grow it might be crap or whatever but it's growing, the 2nd one I'm less sure about I've payed close attention but there's nothing certain to indicate growth besides it not dying i mean 🤔

I've ordered a bowl trimmer being Christmas I'm treating myself 🥳
Screenshot_20241213_060055_Brave.jpg
From what I'm seeing they make a acceptable job.
Screenshot_20241213_082319_Chrome.jpg
The one I ordered has a different grate arrangement that's usually on automated trimmers or manual onrs costing many hundred, fingers crossed.

Have a nice weekend folk's 🍻
 
I got my trimmer it's better made than I expected tbf.
20241216_213205.jpg
I've given it a test run on the remainder of exo I have which I've already smoked the best buds from it.
20241216_210636.jpg
20241216_210647.jpg
All considered it's not too bad the job is ok
20241216_211639.jpg
There's room for improvement but its a start.

A little side project for end size/height of plants starting from seedling.
20241215_172746.jpg

Dec 21st wk3 end.
Hello folk's, there's not been much happening just a few updated pics.
20241221_165330.jpg
I think 1 of the 2 slower ones isn't going to progress any but this one just needs a bit time.
20241221_165519.jpg
I hope you all had a nice solstice.

ht tps://youtube.com/shorts/glrirH2PnB8?si=B4aMNlbIEOakL8Rd
 
i also use a bowl trimmer. you'll find it has it's purpose but is not made for all buds or the entire harvest. but for what it is intended for i think they're great! i also prefer the dry trim with it.
 
Hey bud, yes im liking mine, last night I trimmed more buds i might not in normal circumstances and I'm happy with the job.
20241221_035918.jpg20241221_035744.jpg
Jfc I mean I could pick faults in the job but overall for essentially pop corn buds I'm really happy It trimmed them at all.

I could've bought a 19" for £80 but I opted for a 16" at £130 because of the dry trimming arrangement, from what I could see that type of grate is only available on the upmarket trimmers so I thought it worth the gamble?
20241216_213205.jpg
I am happy with it but I'd like to know if I paid £50 more pointlessly?
