Basement hempy with sils, lots of beans, “breakfast weed”

Yup, nanners. Pulled like 6 of them out. I think if I really dug around there would be more deep in the buds. Obviously has some weeks to go, so I’m gonna have to watch this one close.

Leaf curl on the one PCB X NWHP(righty) is continuing, and starting slightly on the other. Curling up like genie shoes, and crisp enough when you rub them the tips crumble off. I think the everyday watering is too much, but they can’t quite make it two days without looking rank. Seems like bigger pots are gonna happen this weekend for them too.

Still the weekend here, so I stuck to schedule haha.
Nice and root bound. Fucking starving too.
Dropped the table, so now I have to reinstall the rope ratchets. Oh well, had to happen.
Edit: I am seriously considering doing the unthinkable and buying a 24x48x80 tent


More nanners on the small PS, and brown pistils around them. I think its time is coming soon. Not gonna make any seeds this run, don’t wanna have to guess if they’re from this plant. :man_shrugging:

I have decided it is impossible to pull a nanner without it exploding. But I still pulled a few more today.
I don’t see a nanner in the pic of the top bud, I just love the way it looks. There is the one really swollen calyx with brown pistils, I’d bet if I did some surgery, there’d be a nanner inside.
I wanna let it keep going, but I don’t want it to seed everything. I don’t see darkened pistils on any other plants. Yet.


The PCB X NWHP clone I put in the reused hempy looks fucking fabulous haha. I soak/rinsed it with tap water when I first put it in, and have since given it a single feed at 1.1ec, 6.1 ph :+1: getting light, gonna feed again in the next day or so.
Wish I kept one of each now haha.

The big PS just really seems like it wants to die, but I keeps drinking, the buds are ever so slowly growing, and is still all lady, so onward we go.
I didn’t move her because she is wiggly af.
The plant equivalent of the yellow guy waving his arms outside the car wash lol.

Have you tried spraying a little water on the ding dong, or on your tweezers? It may explode but it’s not going anywhere, or causing any unwanted conception :slight_smile: Love those skinny leaves :yum:

That’s a really good idea. Next time I’ll dip the tweezers first.
Thanks! :+1:

Oh the shame. I have various shameful bits for display today.
Most shameful, the Durban Sunrise has not been moved to a more light hours different spot, I hope to this weekend, but it’s looking shaky if I will be able to move it at all. It’ll still grow under the reduced hours, but won’t be what it could have been. Not what I wanted for it, but here we are. That’s the solo under the sils.


Next, the PCB X NWHP plants are not happy. Especially “righty”, leaf curl has slowed, but has affected most of the sun leaves. Looks “happier” with the bigger shoes and light moved up, but everything I did, I should have done at least a couple weeks before I did.

“Lefty” is doing comparatively better, but still pretty much fucked. Their fate is uncertain, though I will at the very least be pulling all the bed leaves off righty, that will be a stress in itself.
These plants did have numbers, I’ll have to o back through the pics and figure out which one is in the hempy bucket.

Less shamefully,
I caught the CB before I wrecked em, new growth is nice, lower leaf die off has practically stopped.

The PCB X A5HT are looking pretty ok all things considered.

No new nanners on the small PS. Pistils continue to darken and curl in, possible its actually ripening? Who’d have expected that!
And both the PS, if you look close, or take a flash pic, have tons of super really small trics, actually pretty fucking boss looking. Either it happened like overnight, or I have been so focused on how I was killing them to notice how sparkly they were.

I don’t understand what the problem is, they look fine to me.

Idk, I guess I just get nervous when all the fan leaves start crappin out a couple weeks into flower lol, talkin about the PCB X NWHP specifically haha.

Might also be worth while mentioning that I am color blind, not monochromatic, but definitely not perfect. So it is possible that the plants look better to everyone else than they do to me haha. It’s rare that I notice a gradual decline from green to yellow, it seems like they just kind of fall off a cliff and turn yellow one day, that’s how the PCB X NWHP look to me. Especially when I compare to the cutting, which does appear green and lush.

Can’t hear, can’t see, what can ya do haha. :+1::man_shrugging:

Here’s a pretty leaf from the CB, never seen pink in any pot plant I’ve grown before.

Yeah, that’s pretty much how most of mine do, too. It’s rare that I get a full-on senescence-type fade. Still, though, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I was pulling off yellow-ass leaves at day 33 for the current grow (and every grow, really haha), the plants are still chugging along. It doesn’t really bother me. Doesn’t seem to bother the plants, either.

I’m sure I could maybe do something that would keep them green and healthy for the entirety of the grow, but I’m not interested in finding out what it is haha. The weed always smokes plenty good regardless.

I hear ya there whenever I make seeded bud it always makes nutrient management way trickier in my opinion

Yeah, as long as they keep growing I’m not going to lose any sleep over it haha.

And as you say, they can look pretty sad and still give you some nice smoke at the end of the day. :+1:

In this case I haven’t pollinated anything yet, and probably won’t. The PS throwing nanners would make me unsure of any seeds, doesn’t seem worth it.

So yeah, this isn’t related to them being seeded, I’m just beating the crap out of them this time around. :man_shrugging:
Obviously not the goal, but I’ve killed so many plants of so many types up til this point in my life, it’s like water off a duck most of the time lol.

The PCB X NWHP cutting is growing like a vine haha. I swapped out the two sils pointing at it from 8w to 15w, still 5k. Never gonna be compact, but maybe a smidge less like a jungle vine lol :+1:

Everybody is less depressed now.



Only one that has me nervous is the Durban Sunrise. Is this “normal”mottling from ph whackness, or is this like a virus or something and I need to bleach my entire existence?

Broke a branch in the big PS.
And breaking it really was a mistake, I’d tell you if I was sampling haha.
In a brown bag in the closet it goes!
They both are ripening up nicely though.



State of the sil area now. Light might end up vertical when the PS are done.
Swapped in a couple more 15 watt. All the 15 watt are 5000k.

Bonus PCB X A5HT young bud shot just
cause I like it haha. :+1:
EDIT: cause that definitely is not from the NWHP cross lol

Do you use the 5000K all the way through? I got some on sale for the house, and couldn’t stand the intensity… figured that’s why they were on sale, lol!

I use the 2700K’s for the plants, when I use them.

Plants look great, even with the amputation.:yum:

I have used all 5000k 15 watt all the way through before, and it worked fine. Or at least, did not seem like my biggest issue at the time lol.
I had tried all 2700k 15 watt before but the plants were super unhappy. Just looked sorta burnt out.
I was mixing them, but the 2700k started failing and as I looked at them a bit deeper the build quality was pretty bad, so I stopped using them altogether.
With the 8watt they all are well built and I mix them. :+1:
But yeah, the 15 watt are BRIGHT! And intense! When I first started using the sils I treated them like cfls, so 15 watt like 1” away from the leaves. Was really bad haha.

I think the 5000’s I got were only 6W, lol!

Are the sil’s your main lights? I only use them in clip-on fixtures where I don’t have real lights :slight_smile:

I have one 16W about 4’ above some cuttings in a secluded area right now. They are handy when I need them.

It looks like you have the 5000’s dialed in :+1:

The sils have been main lights for around 2 years now. I have the Vivosun leds now too, but haven’t had them long enough to say if they’re gonna get me off the sils. I love that I can change the bulbs out using the sils, though me changing bulbs too often has definitely complicated things for me at times haha. I’m better now. Or so I say as I fiddle with the bulbs every other day haha.
And I’ve got them in clamp lamps all over the place too. :+1:

Honestly I’m pushing it right now with 15s on the PCB X NWHP, but I’m trying to maybe get a bit less stretch out of it, maybe haha. If I end of hanging the light to match the angle of the stem I’ll end up having it like a foot away. The light from the sils seems very “directional”, very focused. Doesn’t seem bothered for the moment though, so I’ll keep hammering it.

That’s part of what I like about the 8w though, they have fewer leds spread over a larger space, so they’re more diffuse. Or so it seems to me haha. :+1:
