End of week update:

2x4 tent: Gary Peyton x wedding cake



I think they’re close to be ready to chop. Trichomes are starting to cloud up, some amber ones here and there. I need to scroll back and see when I noticed them starting to flower and get an estimated time.

4x4: mandarin cookies x lilac diesel:


Some tops have breached the 2nd net, all of the lower ones have made it to the first net. I ended up tucking some of the lower ones since they grew under the net and outward.

Greenhouse:


The sour apple x mint jelly is starting to smell real nice.

I didn’t get a pic of the others but they’re doing good too.

That’s all for tonight!

I've only been feeding them water lately. Since last week, I was bed ridden with a leg infection and wasn't able to hobble around long enough to water anything until Monday. I'm just now able to get out of bed without any massive pain, though it's still there (and my leg is still 1.5 times the size it should be, but the meds are starting to finally work).

I'll hopefully be chopping the peytons this week, and begin feeding them nutrients again soon. The reason why I haven't been adding nutrients is that I can't stand in 1 spot for longer than a few seconds before a burning, shooting pain shoots through my leg, so adding and mixing the food would just be too painful or time consuming (I don't have a place where I can fill the water and mix, so I do it standing at my sink), and then the actual watering part I've been rushing through since bending also sends those pains through my leg.

They're looking pretty good still, but these definitely aren't my best sets of plants.

Sorry to hear about your pain. I'm guessing antibiotics for the infection?

 

[elusive]

Sorry to hear about your pain. I'm guessing antibiotics for the infection?

Yep! Took me down for about 2 weeks. Still got some infection left in me, but it’s going away and seemingly faster now.

I did neglect the plants a bit since I couldn’t stand in one spot for longer than a minute or so (walking was fine, sitting was fine, but standing just sent pain down my lower leg). I did still water them, just without nutrients, and probably a day or 2 longer than I should’ve waited between watering, but I had to make due with the current situation.

So, for an actual update:

Gary Peyton x wedding cake has been cut and harvested. I trimmed the first plant on Saturday and the other tonight for a total of 2.5 ounces off of the 2 plants. Not too shabby considering I only had the light on 12/12 the entire time. Smoke test was a delight, and my buddies on Saturday really enjoyed it as well.

The 4x4: mandarin cookies x lilac diesel:




I fed them a full dose of nutrients last night, and they’re doing well. Still have another 4-5 weeks. I’m hoping for 5 ounces or better this time around.

The greenhouse:

The auto flower was chopped last night. I’ll be lucky to get a 1/2 ounce off it. The other plants basically died from a lack of water for a week and a half, and also a week and a half of 110F inside the greenhouse (couldn’t get out of bed to open the door). Such is life though. I’ll probably start the next round in about 2 weeks. Might snag some autos for the 2x4 tent since everything goes hermie in there. We’ll see though.

 

[Rootsruler]

If neglecting my plants results in the pics you posted I'll be leaving for a few days for the plants to fend for themselves!

Outstanding! Beautiful Girls!

 

[Rootsruler]

Just a suggestion but you may want to think about adding some poles to the edges of your nets so that they stretch across the entire tent space. It'll allow you to support your branching wall to wall. I use bamboo stakes but I may get off my lazy ass and make more tent poles to support the second net as the first is on a set of horizontal bars I made to support the first net and give more rigidity to the tent.

I either have the greenest thumb or I just get lucky as hell lol the amount of times they were droopy and they still bounce back always surprises me lol

Yeah, I want to get some poles to run along the sides horizontally to support them better along the edges and not have the tent get sucked into them. I have another 2x4 that has a pole that would work well, but it’s only 1. I need to find more like that for sure.

Oh, and here’s the Gary Peyton x wedding cake all chopped and trimmed:


Gave the small jar to my neighbor to sample and enjoy earlier this afternoon. With the amount I’ve cut back to (inadvertently went from an ounce a week to about an ounce every week and 5 days), these 2 jars + the remaining of my last ounce should last me until the next round is ready. Plus the auto that’s drying now.

Glad I found this place (and by extension, the other place that led us all here). Ya’ll keep me motivated to keep growing my own stuff

 

[elusive]

Also, I’ve been running Humboldt’s secret nutrients (base A and B, golden tree (or leaf, whatever it is smells like straight up poo), flower stacker, and plant enzymes for the 4x4 (mandarin cookies x lilac diesel). The Gary Peyton’s had like 2 or 3 doses of the Humboldt’s and then nothing but straight water.

I ordered some LSD-25 autos last night, and a few other cheapies off of NASC (I forget what I snagged), so I’ll be doing probably 3 or 4 of the lsd’s in the 2x4 once the current auto in there is done drying.

When the mandarins are done, I’ll dry them in the 4x4 and start the next round of photos in the auto tent. Not sure what I’m going to do just yet for them. Maybe I’ll take a poll

I'm glad to see others buying cheap seeds from NASC. I had to quit looking at that menu when my seed count got over 60

My Jungle Cake x Wedding Tree from them is coming along nicely. She hermied but that might've been a light leak. Otherwise it's growing like a champ. Almost halfway through flower, I assume.

Hope you're healing up alright. My buddy is headed to a different hospital for an infected bed sore. Infections are scary business man.

The swelling has mostly gone away and next to no pain now. Still a bit red on the lower leg, but the skin is starting to peel off and normal skin color is returning. I’m able to stand at my workbench and resume assembling and soldering electronics, so it’s a nice feeling of getting back in action.

NASC is awesome. I was really surprised at the $2 autos I got last time, and they’re totally worth it IMO. Plus they arrive within 2 days of ordering.

 

[elusive]

Got my NASC seeds in today, so here’s my inventory currently:

LSD-25 autos (will be growing 3 or 4 of these in my 2x4 tent) starting next week.

1 x white widow
4 x ice cream cake x pistachio
2 x blue cheese
2 x Gary Peyton x wedding cake (plus a ton of hermie seeds)
1 x gorilla glue x Cinderella man (plus a ton of hermie seeds)
5 x purple kush x punch cake
3 x pine skunk x apple kush
1 x silver alert
2 x lucid dreams x Hell’s Kitchen

Some of these I might have more of, but I know I have at least these qty’s.

I can only fit 4 plants in the 4x4 in 5 gallon grow bags comfortably (I suppose I could do 5, but I feel like that’s really crowding it).

Any suggestions on what to grow next? I’ve already grown white widows, Gary Peyton’s (smoking as I type this all out), lucid dreams, silver alert, and gorilla glue. I’ve enjoyed them all, so I don’t mind growing some of them again.

I’m thinking blue cheese (at least one, then maybe grow the other in the 2x4 so it hermies and I get more seeds lol), maybe an ice cream cake, and maybe a pair of purple Kush.

Idk, lmk what ya’ll think.

I love that $2 dollar menu. I have about 60 or more seeds. 10 of each strain I couldn't resist. I plan on burning through them while I try to fine tune my style and system.

Man.. so many options out there. It's nice having some that come recommended from fellow builders, though. Helps weed out the sites with bunk genetics. Realistically, I'll probably make my next purchase from one (or several ) of our local dealers.

Agreed. They were the freebies too!

I got the sour apple x mint jelly autos from their $2 menu and holy smokes it was great. The mandarin cookies x lilac diesel I have growing now came from their $5 menu. They may have silly names, but it’s still quality weed imo. I love NASC.

Saturday afternoon update:

The mandarin cookies x lilac diesel are doing pretty darn good. They’re really starting to smell and hoo boy does it smell good.

Watered them last night, will probably water them mid day on Monday with another full dose of Humboldt’s. Might do some trimming to open up some of them mid-way buds.

Tell me about lilac, you run them before? How does it smell?

Never ran these or any other lilac before. I think the mandarin orange really took hold because it basically smells like citrus weed. It smells very sweet (like fruit) and pleasant, with a stank of ganja.

Anyway, it’s been a few days since my last update. I’ve watered twice, once will full feeding and once with water. Will likely feed again either tomorrow or Tuesday night with full nutrients.

Here’s some pics:










They’re starting to fill out nicely. A few more weeks and they’ll be ready. I think it’s around 2-3 at this point, so maybe next week I’ll start doing trichome checks.

 

[elusive]

I was a day or so late in watering these, but that’s okay. I’m in the final week, and most of the trichomes are cloudy at this point.



I might chop them tomorrow night, but if not, I’ll give them a plain water feeding and chop them on Saturday. I’ll also be planting the next round of plants this week.

I seem to get between 1 and 1.5 ounces per plant with my setup, so between the 4, I’d say max 6 ounces, lowest 4-4.5 range.

Would be a nice surprise to get more, though!

 

[moe.red]

I heard somebody somewhere call them Plounces. Ounces per plant.

You trying for a bigger harvest next time, or pheno hunting?

The more the merrier. I'm not one to hunt phenos, at least not anytime soon. I already have tons on my plate (which is why I forget to water on time lol)

 

[elusive]

Chopped them down tonight, and boy these girls were larger than I thought. I might be able to pull close to a 1/2 lb off these.

16 weeks (or close to) from sprout to tonight.

Next week I’ll start the LSD-25 autos and a few photos. Gonna give my utility bill a break for a little bit.

Thanks! We’ll see how it looks when it’s ready to trim. It looks like more than I expected now, but that could change lol. Trying to curb my expectations on amount. The smell is amazing though. I can’t wait to try it

 

[elusive]

One plant was dry enough to trim so I did that the other day - 45 grams, so just under 1.5 ounces. It smokes great!

The other 3 should be ready Monday or Tuesday. I checked them a little bit ago and they’re almost ready.

I just started the next batch tonight.



3 x LSD-25 autos
2 pine skunk x apple kush photo
1 ice cream cake x pistachio photo
1 x blue cheese photo

These will all go into the 2x4 once they sprout up with 18 hours of light.

The 3 autos will go in 3 gallon bags once they get their first true leaves, and the rest will go in solo cups until they need to get transplanted up.

Since it’s a bit chilly out and I haven’t turned my pellet stove on yet, I have them in a seed starting tray on a heat mat.

 

[elusive]

All but one has sprouted overnight last night. The one that didn’t was buried pretty deep. I gently removed some soil and it did germinate, so it should be up in a day or 2.

Since most sprouted, I figured it was time to put them in the grow tent.



I still need to give this tent a cleaning, which I’ll be doing Saturday. I’ll also likely move the autos into their 3 gallon buckets and the photos into solo cups.

I think I’ll be putting 2 of the photos into 7 gallon bags. Unsure which 2 at the moment. Probably either the pair of pine skunks, or the blue cheese and pistachio.

 

[elusive]

One of the lsd’s seems to be a dud so I popped another one in. The ice cream cake was getting leggy so I put the peat cup in a solo cup to bury her a little deeper.

So far so good!

Thanks broseph! I might sow the last lsd-25, but I don’t want to overcrowd the tent in the event all 5 pop (if 4 pop, I know I can rehome one of them, but not both).

I have to put the blue cheese in a solo cup tonight as it’s getting a bit leggy as well, but overall they’re looking good. I’ll post another pic tonight.

Tonight’s update:


Looks like one of the lsd’s is a dud, but the other 4 are doing their thing. The top middle might be hard to see, but she’s popping out and still has the seed husk on.

I’m going to toss the other 2 photos into solo cups tonight or tomorrow, and start putting the autos into their 3 gal bags.

Yeah, I’m not worried about the helmet head. I didn’t sow her too deep as I was worried that’s what may have caused the other one to not pop at all as I did sow her a little deeper than normal (outdoor veggies got me all over the place with seed depth lol).

I put one of the autos in a 3 gal bag last night. Gonna put another one in today, transfer the 2 solo cups into a larger pot and put the remaining photo peat cups into the solo cups.

I’ll be using a lot of recycled soil this grow as I only have enough for another 3 gal bag, and my full bag of soil is in my greenhouse, hidden behind walls of pellets, so I won’t see it until February / March time lol

 

[elusive]

Did some repotting today:



Put the 2 largest lsd auto peat cups into their final 3 gal bag home. They are a little smaller than I anticipated for their age, but I think they’ll be okay.



Blue cheese and ice cream cake x pistachio put into 1 gal pots (I think that’s how big they are), and the 2 pine skunk’s into solo cups. The rest are the lsd autos.
