Or all of them :slight_smile:

OK In the clone cab we have 2 new seedlings above ground and 1 just about. The 2 above ground took less than 36 hours, which impressed me, they are Painted Fires, C99 X Guava Hash Plant, hoping for 3 girls out of 3 but 1 will do lol. I cant wait to see how these come out.

The clones are all settled in to their party cups now, and I gave 3 BBC clones to a buddy who has just joined here Mikeacas. He brought me a wonderful selection of his great weed to try, as well as seeds rosin and edibles. I am still feeling high from the chocolate thing I ate last night lol. I think it must have been made with green crack as I could not get to sleep last night for a long time after taking it lol.

I have removed the broken Hog from the pot and replaced with the ISSXBB which looks very girly to me. I will have to get some clones from it when its bigger for another run I like this strain, but the leaves get huge and it seemed to attract PM last time. The 2 others left in the 2 liter pots have gone back into the clone cab to slow them down, they are growing to fast atm with 8 weeks before I can put them fully into veg for another 8-9 weeks, lmao they will be big.

1 of 2, C99XGHP seeds after 30 hours, just going into soil the tap root was probably close to an inch long.

2 C99XGHP 48 hours after going into soil, these grow fast.

The 2 Sebs Rev moved to the back right corner now with 3 Tut, 3 BBC, 4 GDP, 1 Hog,

Now with the 1 Blue Heaven and 1 Tut, and the damaged Hog, added back from the veg tent, in place of ther cloner.

Veg Tent is going well temps are holding between 73-78F days down to 66 - 68F at night, RH is fluctuating between 45 and 60%. The plants are getting bigger and picking up speed in their growth, I may have to start chopping ends off with 7-8 weeks of veg left. Today they got a mauling and bent about. So before and after pics.

Top View

Side View, ISSXBB still in its small pot.

After beating them up.

Top View. Sebs Rev front and center now. Its growing very well in a perfect cross, as if it knows how to train itself. I wish I had pulled the old stump out of the middle of the pot and put it in the center now, it would be perfect. It has made no attempt to raise its branches up yet.

Side view. Looking very sad for themselves.

In the flower room we are at week 4 and 3, time is flying bye, cant believe half the year is almost gone. The first 5 are doing well, pleased with the way they are developing atm from the training. The Blue heaven have no burn like last time, I have not been giving them anything with N or P in just silica and coconut water. They look a bit pale to the others but from what I am seeing in other peoples grows it seems indicative to the strain. So I will see how these develop, and if I get a better yield than last time.

Temps have been fluctuating daily and slowly creeping up, my exhaust fan is almost running constantly during the day now, another 2-3 weeks and the air con will have to go in. Temps are the usual 68F nights 78F days with RH 40-60% The first 5 are not much for stretching, seems even less when they get trained like this, the nodes are so tight its hard to get in and defoliate, to allow light further down into the plants. The last 4 are all GDP except the top right plant which is a BH. The GDP are doing their usual big stretch and opening up nicely making a bit of defoliation easier. All they are getting now is Silica and magnesium in there water for one feed and coconut water the next, then plain water for the next. After they finish stretching I will top dress with a teaspoon if sulphur in each pot.

Before and after pics again.

First 5 at 4 weeks.

Just been to the beer making shop to get some organic malted barley, he had 25 Kg wanting $5.75 a kilo, it had been sitting there for about 5 months and he hadn’t sold any of it. So he said 20$ for the lot, I cant complain at that, I like a good deal lol.

Cheers man thanks for the kind words.

Yeah the sign is to remind my daughters boyfriend that visiting time is at certain times only lol. I took the light bulb out of that room as well, so it wouldn’t be left on accidentally after lights out, tape is easily removed by stupid people lol.

Shaping up beautifully Shadey!

Thanks for popping in man and checking out my grow, I am getting more pleased every time I start a new grow in this soil, it just keeps getting better and better.

Apart from a little discolouring on a couple of big fan leaves on the BH, they are perfect, no deficiencies, or too much of anything, tempting fate here lol.

This week has been not much happening, I have been giving them lots of LITFA. Ambient temps are still climbing but they are still keeping within the limits, so that’s good, I don’t have to turn the aircon on for another week. The last C99xGHP seed did not emerge it seemed to be stalling on the root growth when I put it in soil, so down to 2 of painted Fires seedling now, I hope one is a girly.

Group shot of the clones, the Hog that got damaged is doing well, getting some colour back in a few of her leaves.

Veg tent is staying within limits as well atm. I have been thinking this week of extending it out at the side for more room. I can get another 30 inches in length by sliding my clone cab up the table, I will just have to do my juicing and moonshine elsewhere, if I dont have enough room.

Clone cab hangs 15 inches over the end of the table.

Tent with space to right I can fill. The only thing I use ofn this side is a 6 inch passive air intake. I can move that to the front of the box I want to make and slide into the side of the tent after cutting it open and fixing to the sides…

In the tent things are getting bigger after getting over their mauling last weekend. I topped the ends of the 4 branches on the Sebs Rev CBD plant, this week I will top all the side branches as well.

.Side View. Front left and right plants will be going into the flower room next Sunday, after I top all the branches later today.

Top View of Sebs Rev.

First time I have had a clover flower, normally they get swamp by the cannabis and don’t get enough light to flower.

In the Flower Room things are going well, the first 5 at 5 weeks now, and the next 4 at 4 weeks. They got some dandelion soup this week, in one watering, as well as a top dress of sulphur, and malted barley powder watered in with silica and magnesium sulphate. the first 5 have finished the stretch and are now making lots of trichs and fattening up them buds.
First 5.

Next 4. The alfalfa is starting to force its way through this week have to trim that down a bit.

Close up of one of the BBC getting all triched up.

BH is doing the same.

The GDP being a week behind are still stretching out they should be done soon as well, they are starting to stack better using this training technique seems to stop the nodes stretching out a lot.

Some dandelion soup being made in my blender.

Then into a bucket.

Finally into and ice cube maker and frozen for storage, along with my kelp seaweed.

Damn power has just gone out. We have high winds ATM. It went off and straight back on then 30 seconds later, gone again. I hate it when it does that, the restrike on the lights is not good that fast. Just put my emergency light on in the FR and disconnected the big ones, once the power comes back on, hopefully soon, I will hook them back up.

Production looks good Shadey. You have a lot going on. I always worried about my HPS bulbs when our power would flicker, but I never had one pop from it though I would hold my breath.

2 Likes

I haven’t switched the lights on yet the power is on and off constantly, 6 times now in the last hour 8 times all together. Supposed to be some transformer damaged by a tree according to their web site. Why would you put a transformer near trees., if they can damage them???

OK Power came back on after 3 hours last week, and has been good since.

Clones and seedlings going strong, I need to get a humidity controller now the cabinet has been up in the high 90% this week with lights off, 80% lights on, but we have had a lot of rain. Temps are staying up around 78-80F days, and 68-70F nights, as ambient temps picked up this week, but today is not bad. The cabinet is filling up, and I have 5 weeks of Veg left before they will be going into the big pots. I may put some of them in the veg tent.

Small clones and seedlings. Painted Fires C99xGHP are doing well, and have come out from under the desk light, and the 2 Sebs Rev have gained 50% in size. Another week and I will top them.

Bigger clones that will be heading out to the veg tent shortly.

In the veg tent we still have 6 plants I was away seeing friends yesterday and I have a hangover today so the 3 going to the flower room can wait until tomorrow lol. My truck is still off the road so I haven’t got what I need to extend the tent yet. Temps and RH have been the same as usual but its going to get hotter soon.

The turbo clone is in the veg tent with 6 Sebs Rev cuttings. I took the lower branches off leaving the top 4 sets on Monday. The veg plants have grown quite a bit this week. After topping all the branches I could find on the front 3.

Sebs Rev plant got topped and trimmed Monday, every branch got topped and I have close to 40 when they eventually split, it has 5 weeks left and I will probably top every developing branch on the secondary branches as well before they go for flowering. This could be a monster lol

The ISSXBB with 5 weeks of veg left the cutting has still not shown sex in the flower room yet but its only been in there a week. It will start to get some training soon.

A hog that got topped Monday all its little branches are now splitting into 2.

In the flower room Things are hotting up, the exhaust fan is running pretty much constantly during the day atm, with temps 70F nights 82f days RH 60% nights 40% days. Probably have to put the aircon in here next week. What I save on not having to run a heater at night now, goes into cooling during the day. Moved some plants about to make room for the next 3 coming in.

First 5, now at 6 weeks from flip.Starting to look very frosty and starting to bulk up, I always get a bit disappointed at this time, thinking the buds don’t look big enough for the amount of time. lol

Next 4, at 5 weeks now from flip, they should be just finishing their stretch now.

Blue Heaven close up all sparkly, damn lower fanners are doing this burnt looking crap again, same as the last one. Apart from that they look perfect, so unless they just start to die off this early in flower, I don’t know what is causing it yet, but its annoying.

GDP close up, all frosty. Starting to stack up better now they are shorter.

Temps are up again today getting warmer. Just checked the buds, and the laser thermometer says 82F, so I have put the window aircon back in its place and start it up tomorrow, I need the refrigerant to settle down after turning it upside down, and on its side.

5 Likes

Weather is getting harder to predict it seems. After 2 weeks of mid 90s, we got a weekend of pop-up showers and today at noon it’s just 82 with low humidity. Feels like spring. It will change back tomorrow though. Keep’em cool Shadey.

Great grow show @Shadey I’m liking what I’m seeing for sure!

Got my aircon operationall today, it got up to 91F in the flower room yesterday, those girls certainly get stinky at those temps.

It’s a much cooler 76F today in there now. It will soon be the place to hang out, if I want to get away from the heat.

Cheers Tiny, the shows getting bigger, 3 more plants went in on Monday. Starting to get cramped up in there. So another Blue Heaven, a GDP and a Hog :relieved:

The aircon was on this morning when I went in just as the lights came on, it shouldn’t have as the room temp was only 72F. So I am going to have to tinker with its settings, may have to let it run the room a bit hotter so it shuts down over night or switch the night heater off that is set to keep it at 70F over night. Always a few teething problems when starting to deal with a different time of season.

Some pics of the new plants in the flower room.

9 Plants in this one with the 3 newbies on the outside bud less atm.

The first 4 doing good apart from the BH I am going to try extra calcium with these, they have plenty of everything as far as I can tell so I will apply some cal/mag with their next watering, see if that helps…

Clones and seedlings got some room to breath now, the hog on the left was the one removed with the dying branch its almost come back only about 10% of the leaves have died on that branch. although they still seem to be smaller leaves developing. Topped the 2 Sebs Rev seedlings on Monday and will probably top the 2 C99XGHP from painted fire in about a week, once they hit 6 nodes. They are the 2 in the red party cups front right.

In the Veg tent we have 4 new plants chilling and growing fast front right and behind the cloner. I may take all their tops for clones to keep them a bit shorter, they still have 4 weeks before they go into the big pots. 6 cuttings in the cloner of Sebs Rev CBD 1 has good roots and 2 are just starting, the other 3 have white bumps appearing on the stems hopefully they will root up.

The ISSXBB has taken off this week with some very rapid growth, I am going to pin her tops down today they dont like making branches even if you top them. I want some clones from this one its not got the fast stretchy gene the others have had, that I have grown.

The Sebs Rev that I kept to 4 main branches and now has lots of secondary branches all got their ends topped last weekend, as soon as the branches on the secondary ones have grown a couple more inches I will top all those as well. Its starting to fill out nicely.

The wife just gave me 2 avocados that were over ripe, so I have chopped them in half and put 1 half in each of the 3 pots in the veg tent, and one half in my worm bin, to see if I can get a rough head count, I only put 5 worms in there before Christmas, not sure how many have survived winter.

I was wondering if avocado would be good blended up, and added to the water for the plants as well as the worms.

OK missed last Sundays update, not sure why, other than being retired, I cant remember what day it is LOL.

Temps are climbing in the grow tents, and rooms at the moment, and so is the humidity at night. In the clone Cab its staying around 80F with the extraction fan running pretty continuous, and humidity climbs to about 90% at night after lights out. Noticed a few white specs on the leaves so I gave them all a misting with neem oil and water 2 days ago, and its all gone now. I need a humidity controller asap to keep the fan going when the RH climbs at night. I also increased the fan speed to max in the cab for moving the air around.

atm there are 2 TUT, 2 BH, 1 BBC, 1 HOG and 1 GDP, 3 Sebs REv and 2 C99xGHP and 2 more Sebs Rev to get potted up from the cloner.

Korean Style LABS, 1 week old atm and brewing nicely 10 liters all together.

In the Veg tent in 10 gal pots, we have 1 Hog, 1 ISSXBB being pinned down, and a broken Sebs Rev CBD. Really pissed off with myself, I bent the branches down on Tuesday and went a bit too far on one branch, and it has died off, losing about 20+ tops on the branch :cry::rage:

The tent is sitting around 78-80F lights on and 68F nights with RH 60-65% constant and the exhaust fan running several times an hour atm.

The other plants are doing good, they got a dose of neem oil misting as well, as a preventative for PM, just in case. There are 3 in 2 liter pots, 2 BH, and a TUT, which will get put into the 10 gal pots coming out of the flower room in 2 -3 weeks. I will be taking some cuttings from these shortly as well. I gave away 4 GDP 2 ft clones at the weekend, and a buddy just called, asking if I could make some up for him, for 3 weeks time, when he crops out.

In the cloner we have 5 Sebs Rev cuttings, one has been potted up 3 days ago, and there are 2 more getting done this afternoon.



A couple of pics of the worms under the avocado halves. They move so fast when the light hits them, 3/4 of them disappeared before I could focus the camera lol. There were lots of white babies, so it seems to be working on the 2 I checked.


In the flower room, temps are around 80F at midday, with the aircon working hard, and 68F at night, RH is 35-40% lights on and 80% lights off at the coldest part of the night which is not good, the extraction fan is set to run at 65% so its probably not coping with all the plants in the room atm. I have never had this may flowering before at once, hopefully when the first 5 come out in 2 weeks, the RH will drop down a lot more. So this Sunday coming, the first 5 will be at 8 weeks now, and the second group of 4, will be at 6 weeks, and the 3 newbies will be at 2 weeks. I am not impressed with this first 5 using the branch bending, as the buds are still looking small to this point on the last grow. I am going to give them 2 more weeks as some were topped just before flipping and took a week longer to get flowers up on them. Put another batch of wine on in there, to bump up the C02, running the aicon makes the room semi sealed unless the humidity goes over 65%, and the exhaust creates a a passive intake of air.

First 5 1 HOG, 1 BBC, 1 TUT and 2 BH.

Next 4 3 GDP and a BH, the GDP seem to benefit from this branch bending technique more than the shorter growing plants, like HOG, BBC, BH and TUT.

3 Newbies, 2 HOG and a GDP, just starting to produce flowers now. They could use more space as they are getting bigger and spreading out. I need to re bend some branches again on these. Hopefully without killing them.

I will be glad when these 9 are out and I will be back to 6 plants in here instead of 14 and I can move around.

Ya avocados work pretty damn good I tied a banana brothel awhile back seemed that it needed to set for awhile before they became interested but once that happened there were just as many if not more on the banana !

I just got done downing a watermelon over the past few days saved almost 90% of the rind with a bit of meat froze them up will try a watermelon slushy here soon!
