noice

love the top "cages"

 

[Zen_seeker]

Lately I’ve been liking the lights out pics. This one’s not as good as the other tents lights still on.



Found a group of leaves with aphids again. SOAB

I know it wasn’t intentional but worst gift ever.

Used Safer’s soap again. After removing the worst leaves. And manual squishing.

Warm, 25c still and humid outside. What happened to 18c?

 

[Zen_seeker]

Can’t sleep so here’s some pics.

Solo:


A little clean up trim and improved air flow. More buds have swollen up lower down so I had to open it up.

Twin1:


Twin1 still needs a bit of trimming. But I hope the aphids are finally gone.

Willow only puts up with my nonsense for a while. She’s probably in bed in my spot.

To much on my mind. Have a few calls I need to make tomorrow.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Argh….are we there yet….

 

[Cool_Beans]

Everything looks killer, great stuff going on there dude.

 

[ninjadip]

Saw a post about you mentioning harvest so had to come check it out, your plants look killer!

What are the twins/solo?

It's a snow storm in July!!!!

 

[Zen_seeker]

Saw a post about you mentioning harvest so had to come check it out, your plants look killer!

What are the twins/solo?

They are all clones of the same plant Topper.

Strain is unknown. Plants from seed. Range from 70/30 to 50/50 Sativa/Indica.

Got them from a buddy. So I share from time to time. G$ has one in his tent now.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Twin2:


Keep tucking. Never higher than 6’, if I can manage it.

Solo: Just a sample to test out.

4g wet lower top…where is that microscope. Then off to dry.

 

[SSgrower]

Real pretty bud,Cheers! SSgrower

 

[Zen_seeker]

Think I’ll start chopping tomorrow or Sunday night. (Lights on)

Solo:


Twin1:

Had to tie it together. Drooping all over.

Bud check:

 

[Zen_seeker]

Argh. Looks like the 2 gifted clones are male. Not hermi even…full male. So 4 plants to toss as I reckoned after topping.

Plus they gave Twin1 aphids. They came back hard last night so I chopped and hung her. She still had a few days but tips are all good. Better early than more aphids.



Twin1 sprayed with Safer’s soap last night and 1.25L cold water today. I didn’t take a pic of what I shook off. Gross. Glad we don’t use the shower in the basement much. Going to leave these right here. Probably spray with cold water again.

On the bright side I think we’ll have cucumber tonight.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Got caught up on the new 3D germinator thread and forgot to update my own.

Solo:


Average hight above table is 6” but range from 4”+ - 8”.

Seems I need to BBQ at the end. But at least they are hard and sticky.

Removed a lot of the leaves last night, most would have long ago.

 

[ninjadip]

Sorry bout them aphids boss

Where can I get one of these 3d germinators? I could really use something like that to get seeds started with enough root to put in aeroponic without media.

Have a look here: https://budbuilders.org/threads/this-is-vertical-germination.489/page-2#post-28795

Moe and the “3D gang”, oh new nickname, are going to make some for sale and for giveaways.

I do okay for popping seeds in shot glasses or paper towel but they look cool and give almost perfect roots every time. The new add-on reservoir is good to. Resolves the tipping issue I was concerned about.

When I first saw those I wanted one immediately.

When will flower be ready for chop?

Technically now. Aphids changed my plans. The SCROG is more evenly ripe while Twin1 could have gone a little longer.

I’m leaning toward chopping tonight/tomorrow and trying to flip the table. Dry inside the tent. Guest coming for a week so juggling a bit.

 

[Zen_seeker]

After cleaning up fan leaves and getting ready to chop I noticed the buds are still swelling in the middle.

Checked with my consultant and he agrees another week looks to be in order.



Today is Flower Day 70, so let’s see what next week looks like.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Noticed that some of the tops started getting stacks, like fox tails but not like I’ve seen before. G$ said they are fox tails so I’ll post here for other newbs to see.



More in different places but you get the idea.

Reminds me how some cacti and succulents grow babies and they drop off.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Cucumber for dinner.


Feels natural somehow?

 

[Zen_seeker]

Cleaned up the yellow on Twin2. Lots of rain the last 12 hours.

Twin2:


Solo: Looking good.



Hope everyone is doing well this Thursday morning.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Storm ripped off half the branches from each tomato plant.

Cucumbers have been the biggest producers. Always one or two growing but the rest dry up until we harvest, then repeat. Guessing it’s a water maybe nutrient thing. It gets more then it will fruit more.

Sweet red peppers are taking off but bell peppers got decimated early and are just now fruiting.

Beans started great but look sickly now. Need to look that up.

Earwigs are getting the strawberries at night. City has been inundated with them this year.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Flower Day 75 W11:



Need to scope again.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Northern Lights popped last night. First new strain, at least it’s bug free.



Think I have one red cup ready unless, I used it for Clips new unnamed clone… been a long week.

Need to spray some diatomaceous around the strawberries. Earwigs are becoming a nuisance.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Twin1: Her last post.


Upside down, why not? Her root ball with most of the soil hacked off.

Also tried my first kief hot water bottle hash. Not bad. Got about 4g.


Just over half left. I’ll do it again.

Transplanted the Northern Lights last night.

And finally started the last clone from Toppers line. From Clip. No name yet.

So Clip in the 3x3, Solo in 3x3 about to be cut, Twin2 outside, and a rootless clone and newly popped seed in the 1x3.

Full house again. Still need a break to catchup on life.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Flower Day 76 Week 11:

Scope shows Solo is where I like her to be. So chop chop.



Solo:


First time getting to use a tent to dry in. Hope it works out.

A few good people helped me on THCF and some of those same people supported me here. Thank to you all. Even if it’s just a few nice words or bit of advice, it’s appreciated.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Twin1 only had 7.5oz and 21g I gave buddy.


Northern Lights:


Now we wait…

Solo is just hanging around a few days. Trying to do the 20/60 thing.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Just wondering if I can upload with no data at 6am.

Just a late night shot of Solo hanging upside down drying.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Flower Day 01?

Twin2:


Finally, she’s ready, and so it starts.

 

[MDK]

Looks good zen...like how you flipped the whole scrog...neat idea!

 

[Zen_seeker]

Due to rain and high temperatures & humidity I’ve stopped drying in the tent. G$ has me worried about mold. Only had it on a few of wife’s house plants but that was enough.

So now I have 29oz wet in two paper bags doing the Lotus method again, after drying at least 6 days in the tent.

We’ll see in a week or two how things go.

So that’s about 37oz, half dried, from Solo & Twin1. That’s 2 pounds. Cool. Hope we keep the weight when dry.

 

[Zen_seeker]

3am… no rain… humidity is okay…

Watered Twin2 and checked the garden. Something, I’m guessing rat, has found the garden over the last two weeks. Stripped the bark off the Beefsteak Tomato plant. Cutting off branches. Time to set a trap.

Twin2:

 

[Zen_seeker]

Flower Day 7 W1: (Approximately)

Twin2:


Trimmed out the bottom and some dead end or short middle branches and fan leaves.

Solo:


Easiest trim ever. Just wish the temps would have cooperated. All in paper bags in the fridge now.

Clip:


She’s big and gangly from my experiments. Took one clone off her but might chop her and take a second clone.

Was also considering chopping her in half again and flipping to flower. Wasn’t sure it would be worth the trouble. But later when talking with G$ he suggested the same thing. So maybe chop, clone, flower just to see what’s what.

Northern Lights:


I put the “lid” on to keep just a bit of moisture in the top. Also protects it from my big hands when I dig around the zone for propagation stuff.

New clone:


Technically ready to transplant but I like a bit more roots first. Would be great to have NL take off so both can flower together in the near future.

The 4 clones being male really crapped on my plans. Looks like no grow break… but at least a slow down.

Inside should hold us until new year, I hope. With outside taking care of my buddies with health issues. That’s the plan anyway.

We’ll see how things go with Clip.

 

[Cool_Beans]

Twin 2 is magnificent. I always liked where you planted it too with the pavers around it etc likes it's growing up out of the pathway or something. Good shit all over the place dude.

Thanks man.

I was just trying to save her rather than toss her when all three clones got huge.

The pathway was the best choice for hiding, maintaining, and protecting. I got lucky a big mud hole was good enough.

If it works out I’ll probably do one outside each year for my sick buddies. Bugs got bad over June/July but things seem good now. Here’s hoping.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Clip: (Before)


She’s been waiting in pre-Veg a while and grew into the light. Still haven’t got that down yet. But much better and no deficiencies!

(After)


Chopped her in half, again, yesterday. After taking a clone last week and another last night just in case. Looks good even though I didn’t do anymore LST.

So I’m back to a full house with two in flower. One inside and one outside.

If the NL takes off I’ll clone it and give away one of my other clones. Need a second good strain.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Twin2:


I think she’s still stretching.

Might have to remove anything outside the bottom of the net. I’m beginning to think she’s going to be quite top heavy. Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking.

Sent a few pics to buddy. He’s looking forward to testing it out. Cancer is a bitch. Loose to many good people in long painful deaths. Ya, life’s everything else but fair.
