SSHZ does Dragons Flame "Orange Dreams"..........

Just as wide as they are tall ..you think your light plays a roll on how tall they get..what has been your tallest under the Gavita..that will get you thinking 😃.this strain must have some % of sativa in them as I’m going 11 weeks the majority of the time.and I get bugger all amber which blows my mind.

These LED's always keep indica plants short, the more indica- the shorter they usually are. Final stretch was 6-8 inches in some of the plants. 3-4 shorties stretched like 4 inches.
 
I'm running coffee crisp and dip-n-stix just one plant of each and the dip-n-stix sticks had some lower sacks, I think @GrumpAzz dip-n-stix is doing fine.
I haven't had as much free time this go, but so far so good. Nothing looks like a ballsack but I'll keep my fingers crossed. I'm about halfway through flower now.

She's getting frosty and the fans seem to be rather slender compared to Stoney and Bandit's run.

Tomorrow will be 1 day short of a month in flowering and for the last time, I'll pull everything out for 1 last cleanup........
 
So.......... I've been seeing some very, very minor mite damage here and there thru the room. I did find one plant that seems to be the problem, and i pulled it out to study it. Just hints of damage on 6-8 leaves but enough that I didn't want to isolate it so i just destroyed it instead. Any other damage in the room on any leaves has been removed so the room still looks great.

But I know they'll find there way back so i ordered Grandevo CG and Venerator CG. These are 100% organic and will arrive on Saturday.

"The active ingredients in VENERATE CG and GRANDEVO CG bioinsecticide/miticides are each new species of non-living bacteria with insecticidal and miticidal properties produced during the fermentation manufacturing process."

There is no residual effect with these so you really need to hit every inch each of the plant to-be effective. Every 7 days. Religiously. Alternate them or use together. I'm still deciding.

The Grandevo used to use a clay-based transport mechanism ( clay was used in the formula) but that was ended in 2022 sometime. Every review from pot growers I've been able to find state it had no affect on taste/quality/yield of the buds it was sprayed with. Remember, all natural.......2 tablespoons per gallon of water.

On Saturday when everything arrives, I'll mix up a batch and then tear down the room, cleaning and spraying everything while I'll also do another defoliation, opening up things one last time. I've been bummed about it, mites always worry me. It's just at the very beginning of an issue- if it was later in flowering I would have just laughed at them.

Interesting that if I wasn't hand watering everything, I may have missed it until much later. Everything is towards the back of the room.
 
Numerous growers and breeders I respect use the stuff above.............it's quite expensive though. . You need to find the 1 lb. size to keep things reasonable.
 
My longest day in a while. Stomach issues from med's I'm taking, I knew I needed to rip the room out and do a clean up. Started at 11am, finished around 3pm. Took every plant out of the room, cleaned them up, defoliated where necessary, looked for mite damage, any other issues.Then took out tarps and washed them. Vacuumed up the room, and sprayed everything down. Put the plants back 3 at a time, and sprayed Grandevo, literally soaking the plants head to toe.

There was really no visible mite damage, other than 10-12 leaves total that showed signs on some tips. I think things were pretty much contained to the plant I destroyed. Felt like shit doing the work but real happy things were caught very early and I assume the case will be closed now. I'll continue the weekly spraying, adding the Venerater CG too.

Room really looked great tonight, except I have 1 plant that has some LED damage, as it was sitting in the center of the room and received a bit too much. That one was moved to the edge to reduce its light an bit. Other wise, very short plants, fairly uniform in growth. The plants have a deep, dark stank to them and it literally took me using SOS pads on my hands to finally get the resin off, as nothing else (including alcohol) was working. This is not a sticky resin, it's more oil like if you get my drift.

Can't wait to smoke this one....the Chem Valley Kush is fully evident in this strain.
 
Yeah I’ve noticed with the orange dreams x with celestial dragon there mostly a greasy feel.i had one last nite that was sticky af ,kept gunking the ✂️ up and couldn’t twirl the stem while I was trimming lol.
 
that gal that doesn’t look trimmed ✂️ Stands out.
 
She was trimmed up, she was just in good shape already and all the buds were exposed. Remember, I've already removed a lot of leaves in previous defoliations. This is NOT the plant you earlier identified, that was on the other side.

The room seems a little disheveled right now, it's been thru a lot the last couple of days. Things will rebound soon enough. I don't plan on doing anything else except watering and spraying on Saturday nights.
 
So the Granevo did leave a bit of clay like substance on the leaves……… I guess I didn’t keep shaking the sprayer enough. It won’t harm anything though and we’ll see if the next spraying of Venerate tomorrow changes anything. Otherwise, really starting to see this rooms potential and Max was entirely correct when he mentioned how similar this grow was to the Orange Gasm.
 
Looking good sshz.you should enjoy trimming those..i like looking at them at week 6-7 when they have bulked up more.
yields going to b okay mate 🙂.
 
Max notice NO staking at all...........and no topping either. These just stayed naturally very short.
 
Sprayed with Venerate tonight at lights out, easy peasy...........

It sure would be helpful to know how long these should go........at day 36 now, figuring at least 70 days. Most indicas probably shouldn't have to go much longer than that. I think Max takes his orange dream hybrid to around 77 days. I'm telling everybody mid-June.

Anyone ever grow out an LIT seeds?

Yes, I grew out a cross called Cinnamon Rollz, which was given as a freebie when I bought something else.

I only popped two seeds and got two very different phenos, one of which hermied. The one that didn't hermie was very nice and was one of those spectacular looking, ultra-trichome covered beauties. Bag appeal was through the roof. The one that hermied was also very interesting, and I was bummed when I had to chop it. It had a nearly pure mint scent.

So they've got some good genetics. Maybe not tested for hermies enough, but I hate to judge based on two seeds. But if you're looking for a stable crop with few phenos, Cinnamon Rollz is not it.

There was a pH issue that cut my yeild for that grow, but this was one of the buds:

yeah..our grow styles and media used are like comparing apples to oranges..your side branches would b bigger than my main stem.bottom 4-5 nodes are pretty flimsy but the tops aren’t bad but can at times bend over aswell.i don’t think the silica is doing shit for me apart from using it as a buffer..
 
I have a pack of LIT seeds, Rainbow something or another.....last pack in stock off the website. $300 a pack, which is crazy but on sale last week for $150. I figured maybe i would do 1/2 the room with this one and the other half with one of the GPS from the auction. I read good things, but do t know 1 person who grew anything out. Now, they keep bombarding me with special deals for 1/8ths of smoke........I'll check in the actual name and description again.
 
The strain from LIT Farms I have is RS-11 x Permanent Marker called Rainbow Marker.........description below.

Just wanted to mention that both my orders to DragonsFlame, ordered 3/31 and 4/10, have not been received. Now I know Jeff's got a lot of personal issues going on, but this is unacceptable and I'm warning everyone- his shipping sucks. Over 5 weeks to mail a couple of pack of seeds- WTF!

He was in the hospital, his dog died, had brain surgery, posted it all over his discord and here too...
Hell be sending extra freebies with all the delayed packages...
And he acknowledges his shipping times aren't the best.

I ordered like 4/12 and don't have mine yet either but no rush, got plenty in my fridge to hold me over.

Edit: I just got a shipping label was made email from him too.

I don't think Jeff has any fem's available at all......all regs these days. I only bought 2 packs, one of the Blackberry Moonshine and the other, Triangle Death Skunk. He threw the rest in as freebies! I'll use the extras in contests, and for friends and needy lowlifes.
