Elusives perpetual grow

[elusive]

Been like 2 weeks, so here’s an update!

Flower room:




Heading into week 6 with the blue cheese, ice cream cake x pistachio, and the CKY.

Week 1 for the Purple Kush x Punch Cake

Veg tent:


She needed a watering so this was taken right after.

I took one of the plants and put it in the flower room (can kinda see it above). The third plant wasn’t doing so well so I just took her out.

I sowed 4 new solo cups tonight:

Gary Peyton x Wedding Cake
Lucid Dreams x Hells Kitchen
Gorilla Glue #4 x Cinderella Man
Silver Alert

I may let the veg tent turn into a flower tent with the Gary Peyton’s and Lucid Dreams so I can get some seeds as it seems like every time I flower in this tent, they end up with bananas and self pollinate. I have plenty of the other 2 strains using this method.

Interesting, I too get a few seeds from a hermie run, going too long in flower. Thanks, following. SS

The gary peyton x wedding cake from ol trusty?
His Okie Wedding Cake is herm prone, big time.
ALL my okie strains from him have been herm...
Gotta watch em super close the first 4 weeks and pluck ball sacks daily

The cindyman cross should be solid tho, all mine have been anyways. But that okie wedding cake, that thing is a real cross dresser, bro.

My 2x4 has some light leaks which I think cause them to banana out. My other tent/room doesn’t have that issue using seeds from the same pack or seeds produced by bananas. It’s strange. It feels like the magical tent lol

They are from trustfall, but I don’t get balls, just bananas, and only in the 2x4 tent.

Lucky you.

Every one of my okie crosses have been herms. Full on balls and pistils. And then late flower nanners too. Smoke is always good, but what a pita.

Yeah, anytime I get seeds I’m both happy and annoyed. I had balls on some of my first plants, but they were just jar seeds my dealer saved over the years, but only bananas after that.

I agree the smoke is good, though.

If my 2x4 didn’t cause bananas, I’d love to have 2 different grows flowering at the same time, but that’s unfortunately not the case currently.

I’m also planning on removing the self watering system tomorrow as I’ll need more room for my spring garden veggies in the next few weeks (have about 180 plants sowed, which a majority has already sprouted lol)

biweekly update:

Veg tent:



I had to tie her down as she was touching the light. I’m going to remove the self watering setup as I haven’t used it lately, so that’ll give me another 6” or so. I’d put her in the flower room, but I didn’t think this through enough and didn’t place my plants appropriately

Flower room:

Blue cheese. She’s quite bushy, buds are small, but there’s a lot. She’s going to be a chore to harvest.



Front plant: CKY F1 - pretty decent sized buds. Smells great.

Back plant: ice cream cake x pistachio. Pretty decent sized buds. Can’t stick my head in far enough to smell haha.



Purple Kush x punch cake: still early in flower but she shot up about 8”. Pistils are forming nicely.

2 of the 4 plants I sowed sprouted. The other 2 didn’t so I put another seed in and tossed them in my spare tent with my veggies on a heat mat. Hoping to see something in the next day or 2.

Eye predict you will get at least 1 marijuana from this grow.

You really think I can achieve 1 marijuana?!

 

[MDK]

Idk but a half marijuana is a pretty high mark...a whole marijuana is something else!

I was only going for 1/4 marijuana. You guys got my hopes up now! If I don’t make at least 1 marijuana I’m going to blame you all.

 

[steamroller]

Ha ha 1 marijuana~!

Monday night update:

Photo tent:



Front: CKY, back: ice cream cake x pistachio

Buds are plumping out and boy do they smell good.



Blue cheese - buds are filling out. They’re smaller than the other 2, but they look really tight.

Probably about 2 weeks left for these. The purple Kush x punch cake is doing good, I just forgot to take a picture.

Veg tent:


This purple Kush x punch cake is just taking off now. Had to tie her down a 2nd time tonight. I really need to take out that auto water setup to give me more head space.

Bonus: some pepper plants




2 of the 4 seedlings are in here and are doing their thing.

Extra bonus: more pepper plants (and other things):

 

[GoodShit97]

Hell yeah man, looks great in there for sure!

 

[elusive]

Been about a week, so it’s update time

Veg tent:

I removed the self watering setup to get more headroom for the purple kush x punch cake. She was also thirsty so I gave her some water.

I repotted the 2 seedlings from solo cups to 1 gallon pots. They were getting a bit leggy so I planted them a little deeper to get a better root structure.

Peppers are doing well in here too!


Flower tent:


As full of a shot that I could get.


My strain, CKY. She’s got some pretty chunky buds.


Blue cheese: buds aren’t huge, but they’re pretty dense.


Ice cream cake x pistachio: has a purple hue to it, buds are in in between the other 2 for size.

Probably looking at the weekend of the 23rd for harvest.

Once these 3 are harvested, I’m going to remove the nets and try out some yoyo hangers so I can actually walk into the room and be able to add more plants easily. I could fit another 2, maybe 3 plants in 5 gal bags easily, but I can’t reach back there lol

I also picked up one of those mesh herb drying racks as I currently don’t have a tent available to dry in, so this is the next best option. Unfortunately it’ll just be hanging in my basement, so I’ll have to have some humidifiers under it / around it so the buds don’t dry too quickly since the pellet stove is still going.

I would move the peppers out of my third tent and into the flower room, but I seem to have a mouse that has already eaten some seedlings last week. I’ll be trying to seal off the entrance, but I need to clear the room out, which I won’t be able to do until these 3 get chopped.

Fortunately the mouse has left my weed plants alone it seems.

It’s been almost a week since my last update, so here we go.

Flower room:



Le blue cheese. Here’s some of the buds on her:





She’s pretty frosty, most of the pistils are amber, and the trichomes are starting to get cloudy.


My strain CKY (in the foreground). Here’s some of her buds:





These buds are very dense, and definitely the most pungent out of the 3. Trichs are pretty cloudy.


Ice cream cake x pistachio. Here’s some of her buds:




Definitely the most sugary. Buds are medium sized. Hard to get an idea of aroma because she’s tucked pretty far back. She also has a nice purple hue to her sugar leaves and buds.

Veg tents:


Purple kush x punch cake: she’s growing out of control I can’t wait until I can move her to the flower room.


2 of the next 4

And for the pepper fans:





And the other 2 plants. That tiny one has just been having a tough start, but she seems okay, so I’ll stick with her for now. The other one is leggy, but I’m out of fresh soil and I don’t want to move into used soil at this stage. I should have more soil arriving tomorrow.

I also moved about a dozen peppers out to the greenhouse. It’s still cold outside, but on heat mats, the temps for plants are in the mid 40’s, so while not the best conditions, they’ll survive (and just grow slowly, which is okay as I still have a lot of work to do to prepare the garden).

That’s all for now!

Thank's for the update and pic's,Cheers to 1 Marijuana. SS

It’s been about a week and a half since my last update, and I’m nearing the end of the first grow of the year.

Flower room:



The trichomes aren’t turning amber on any of them, but there hasn’t been much change in the last few days.

They’ve also been flowering for 10 weeks, almost 11 at this point. I’ll give it a few more days then I’ll likely start the harvest.

I also have had some mice find their way into this room (found a dead one in one of the pots last week - was there less than 24 hour, not too concerned about it), so I want to seal the back wall.

Another reason why I want to harvest now can be seen in the veg tent:



This beast has outgrown this tent.

And here are the solo cuppers and peppers:



Only lost one in here due to lack of watering. Somehow I missed it.

 

[elusive]

Started trimming last night.

Got all of the CKY trimmed and a branch off of the ice cream cake x pistachio.

The weight of the CKY: 6.1 ounces
Icc x pistachio (1 branch): 2.5 ounces

I’m doing a wet trim, so I know some of that weight will be lost, but hopefully not much.

Here’s the CKY all trimmed up:


Hoping to trim more tonight.

 

[elusive]

I finally got the rest of the plants trimmed last night. Well, the blue cheese. The others were harvested last weekend/beginning to mid this week.

CKY dried: 3.75 ounces
Ice Cream Cake x Pistachio dried: 3.5 ounces
Blue Cheese wet: about 8.5 ounces

Blue cheese is still drying. Possibly ready to go in the jar tomorrow, maybe Sunday.

I cleaned out the flower room and put up some wains coating along the back wall where the mice were coming in from. It wasn’t a large enough piece to cover the entire wall, so I’m going to put a 2x4 along the bottom to close the last gaps.



I still need to wash the floor and move the next plant in here, which I’ll do tomorrow most likely. I may do it tonight if I finish up some other things around the house.

I also removed the netting and started using plant yo-yo’s:



They seem to be doing okay. I still may use one of the nets just because the other plant is so large.

And for the pepper freaks, here’s some that have been living in my greenhouse for the last few weeks:





If my phone doesn’t die, I’ll get pics from the veg tents in a little while.

 

[elusive]

Just jarred up the last of the wet trimmed bud:



Dry time was about 3-4 days before putting into jars. Burping them every few days for 10-15 mins each.

They’re curing nicely. Their smells are really starting to sweeten up.

 

[elusive]

I finally moved the purple kush x punch cake to the flower room. Here’s a before picture:


Here’s the pile I trimmed off:



Here’s a height comparison:


And s full shot of the room:



The plant on the right (same strain) is probably a week from harvest. I accidentally snapped a branch off last night, but after looking at the trichomes, she looks close to harvest.

 

[elusive]

Been about a week so it’s update time.

Flower room:


Purple Kush x Punch Cake #2: she grew a few more inches and is starting to form buds.



Purple Kush x Punch Cake #1: she’s getting ready for harvest, prob by the end of the week.



Hoping to get an ounce and a half dry off her.

The flower room also turned into a partial seedling room:



Tomatoes, honeydew, peppers, basil, sage, rosemary, and marjoram.

Veg tent:


There’s 4 weed plants in here, though 3 are in half gallon pots. One of them is a bit deficient on nitrogen, but she was in a solo cup until last night.

The 4th one is in the solo cup and grew all sorts of weird. I’m going to keep her going since I’m not pressed for space.

Also more tomatoes and peppers

And for those interested in the peppers and other plants, here’s some greenhouse pics:






Still 3 weeks before I can safely start transitioning them into the garden.

Here’s where my pool used to be:


I’m hoping to create a canopy of green and veggies and fruits over the tunnels this year.

That’s all for now!

 

[elusive]

Well, it’s been a month

Veg tent:


So the solo cup plant finally decided to start growing (she’s the same age as the other 3).

She has an interesting mutation:



Natural Y split, zero training. I’m going to pot her up this weekend.

Flower room:



I haven’t been a good plant daddy and haven’t fed her nutrients in a few weeks. Seems to be doing fine for the most part. I should give her something though.


The buds are developing nicely.

Most of my other plants have been moved outdoors. I think I have 2 tomato plants and 4 pepper plants left, and a pair of them I might just keep inside.

Here’s a pic of the “farm” from about a week ago:


The left bottom bed is half full now, the right bottom 2 beds are full, and the top beds will have some transplants coming out soon. The covered bed is sweet corn. The beds in the distance are largely empty, but I do have lettuce and broccoli growing out there now.

Anyway, that’s all for now.

Thank's for the views, I found Yo-Yo's to be a good alternative when I need 2nd trellis net. I bought 10 so far,Cheers

I think I like the yo-yo’s better. It allows me to freely move around in the room now. Definitely happy with the purchase.

It’s been like 2 weeks so it’s time for an update.

Veg tent:

I potted up this plant last night and topped her as well. The soil was super dry, and I thought I got it soaked well enough, but I have to water her again shortly.



Here’s the others. The 2 in the back need potting up and some trimming. The solo cup is the top of the other plant - figured I’d see if I can bring a clone to harvest for once haha.

The gorilla glue with the natural Y at the base was potted up last night as well.



Close up of the Y split. This plant is the same age as the other 3 in here.

I’m planning on moving the 3 large plants into the flower room next weekend.

Flower room:


The trichomes are turning amber and she’s ready to harvest. I’ll be doing that tomorrow night.



Close up of the bud. This is a Purple Kush x Punch Cake.

Planning on wet trimming again as I liked the results last time, even with some of the buds getting flat on one side (though that really didn’t seem very noticeable).
