Harvested.

Today I decided it’s time for more wattage in the tent. It is going to be cold next couple of days. It also looked like they can handel more light. I am only on the 185hlg the other one will be kicked into action when we reach flowering.

Oooooh man it's been a while So this season has been a hectic one and as life goes we can't spend all our time doing the things we love Gonna be a short update of the last pics I got in my gallery as my notes on some of the strains I tried out for the first time are a mess atm Tortoni by @Totemic Easy to grow - I struggled to keep it around the size I would've wanted; side branching can easily get out of control and plant will definitely need supports/ties if you plan on growing it a decent size - I'm really bad with picking out specific terps but I can definitely say it's terpy AF. Plant #1 - Plants #2 -

Almost end of week 8, still waiting some ambers…

Outside plants looking nice and frosty, much like our weather at the moment. I may do this more often, veg indoors then finish up outside. Maybe do some Indica's next, they're generally better in the cold. Indoors not doing badly, despite clawing. Needing to tie a couple up to prevent falling over. Next time I'm going to get/use a net and actually spend some time shaping the canopy. Looking at between 8 and 10 weeks flowering time, which means they'll start coming down round end of month.

This isn't related to this thread - but I did a open pollination with my Higher Primate pack from Bodhi Seeds (yes I mixed pollen from all the males together before brushing it on them) I hit it super early as I could not wait - it was pollenated indoors at a buddies house, I just have them over at my place in a little hot house till the beans are ready they are in like 2.5L pots Edit : 4 males and 5 females were used will make a thread once I got all my shit together

That is highly likely man. Both points. Guess that i was caught up in that "mystery strain" fantasy and forgot my logic at the back door haha! Will still monitor this soldier.

Slowly but surely.

Update time Nearing end of 4 week since flip. Flower has really started to come on nicely in the last 7 days. Any temp advice..? Conflicting advice on the web regarding ideal and acceptable temps during flowering. Obviously don't want to waste eskom on heater if not really necessary. 20 - 23 with lights on during the night 18 - 19 with lights off during the day

Interesting. Mixing different strains' pollen hasn't crossed my mind yet. Gonna get a lekker lucky packet fosho!

Definitely a must, I usually pull out random weed plants I see growing a long the side of the veld or anywhere I find them a long my walks. Even if it's not a male, it could herm. Unfortunately the parks in my area have always been the local uhh crackheads hangout, fuck knows about the other drugs they use but I can tell you they smoke kak hermie skyf

Velvet Skies x Confidential Cannoli Super easy to grow plants + fast finishers 6 to 8 weeks (I had one plant that I felt 9 weeks was the sweet plant) - overall they did well, rain got to them a bit late flower and I did end up having to remove a few branches due to bud rot. As mentioned in my other thread - notes are a mess so uhh here's a little pic dumps

Possible...the non-flowering i find interesting though. The plant doesn't seem have grown much over the last year also. Stands at about 1 meter high with smallish, Indica like leaves.

I know is the opposite what they write the issue is the sugar isnt enough to get to the right Brix numbers. 1 liter Grow = 750ml FishMix + 250ml molasses Grow for Veg is fine to get the sugar you need. I also am more on 12% in Veg. Flower i prefer 15% or more. Is also a question of strain, but i noticed no negative side effect if you even go to 20%. Low sugar means less photosyntesis.

When i get regular seeds i make my own seeds. Right now i buy the seeds. This batch is Nirvana. 25 seeds per 1.2x1.2 area. Had 96 from 100 to pop and sort out depending on growing strength. Full tent, want to see if i can reach 1.5kg dry per square meter. Doing my homework for the coffeeshop i want to open when legalized, see where i stand, what my climate control can handle. New location, had to build setup new.

So I thought my next post would be telling the tale of a chop, yet here we are past the 9 week mark still waiting for them ambers . Thinking this may even stretch to 10 weeks at this rate. Very few amber trichomes on sugar leaves, still some clear on the buds. Will be checking daily from here, I feel I chopped a bit early my last grow and so it's definitely not a mistake I want to make again. I'm seeing even more purple pop through which is an awesome sight to see, bananium just seems to be getting fatter by the day, foxtailing is something new to me too, definitely genetic related.

And the 288 QBs i use. Very even light profile, no ac running at all.

@Totemic Thank you for the 5 Strawberry Sugar Cookies S1 seeds. Definately going to keep clones of every one and share with the locals. Everybody loves the chocolate gelatos. I'm going to be reversing the old school cheese next and will probably pollenate the Strawberry sugar cookies with the cheese autoflower pollen too. I want to make a shitload of auto cheese s1 seeds for the next outdoor season. 63 days avarege claim from fastbuds. Finishing up the anastasia 99 S1's

Pricey but COA certified and Its breeding quality cbd genetics.

I think we made a kak load of feminized auto seeds. We're going to need some indoor testers. Anastasia 99 x ak77 and ana99 x old school cheese from fastbuds. All auto

So. Everything is looking good. I have 4 Bobby’s Widow u and going. I still have hope for the 5th one to join the club. The 6th one’s tap root had issues.

We're in the final stretch here! Past the 8 week mark, watching the trichomes for chop day. I'm loving the colour this cold weather brings. Seeing the 2 strains react in their own ways to it is interesting too! The Bananium has me really excited at the moment, rather sad though as I wish I had let this girl get bigger. I won't be harvesting much Bananium from this tent, it was the smallest plant in the beginning and could not compete with the stretch of the Deluxe Sugarcane. Overall I'm happy with the turn out. Growing for myself means I get to smoke all this beautiful bud, and boy am I happy with the product! In case you're wondering, the smaller dark plant on the left is Bananium, the other 3 are all Deluxe Sugarcane. Very easy to tell the difference in pictures. Let me hear some comments, things I could maybe improve on for the next grow, I am still such a noob at this!

So this diary has kinda come to an end. I harvested most of the plants last night, both Critical Banana look really nice. Will sample and inspect further once dry and trimmed and decide which pheno I will be keeping however so far I am very keen to run the Critical Banana again. The GG Wedding Mints improved a bit towards the end, I took some quick pics of each pheno. Will run them again and hopefully get better results, if they are not better than I will probably drop them from my rotation. I expected more from them. The In House Strains came out looking amazing and beautiful! Both the Bananium & Platinum Punch, such a rewarding strain to grow as the trim is easy and the buds sparkle nicely. Nice dense nugs. The one Zweet Inzanity ended up hermieing quite badly and pushing balls. The Citradelic Sunset came out alright, big, heavy bud with decent frost. This is a strain I have since dropped though. The one Crescendo was lacking frost and very unhappy, the other one is still in the tent as she went into flower 7 days after the others. The Banizzle and Pineapple Chem are also both in the tent still, giving them a but more time to mature. The Pineapple Chem actually split her stem while I was in the tent, the one cola flopped over. So I had to do some surgery with electrical tape. Yield looks as if it will be really good and frost does not look terrible, nowhere near the level of frost from the In House Genetics plants but a reasonable amount. I will try post some bud pics once some of the bud is dried and trimmed, especially of the GG Wedding Mints & Critical Banana. They were the 2 I was most excited for, perhaps more excited for the GG Wedding Mints but turns out the Critical Banana seemed to be the better plant this time around - although neither of mine had the nice colouring of the pheno I posted earlier in this thread.

When you start your regular seeds outdoors this time of year they will almost immediately start to flower. If you have a lot of regular seeds, this is a good time of year to start them outdoors in 1L pots if you simply want to hunt phenos. You can spot the males much earlier. We spotted these 6 females this morning, repotted and moved them to the tent to veg.

Goodmorning all, just a update from the plants, they are going well. I mistakenly left the irrigation running and flooded all plants so they havnt been gettin anything, didn’t do too much damage luckily, will try get the plants out soon for better pics and updates.

1.Next batch of clones busy rooting-(Bluecheese and Purplebud x Swazi)Will be selecting the strongest pair of each strain attempting to create some feminized seeds using STS. 2-3. Normally veg clones for 4-6weeks depending on how they respond. Few of the clones don't like the soilmix, got some clawing (suspect N tox) seems its too strong for some of the girls. Will add 50% coco to the mix and see how the fare. Also fighting some thrips and whitefly...pita. 4. Our diy drying racks working like a charm.

Week 10, they are coming down this weekend, I can’t stand the bugs. No bud damage, so I should be happy.

Alright. This has started much later than I anticipated. But seeds have been soaked and some are in the pots already. The amnesia haze did not make it. But @Totemicgave me some replacements yesterday. Gorilla Cookies and wedding cheesecake from fast buds. We will see which of them make it. The Sour Apple from HSC is up and running a new one in the mix. It was how ever germinated first.

Week 9 , sherbet crasher gone

I have pruned a little bit of the ZxP plants in the Organic Tent™. I like the shape I have managed to get thus far with some simple LST. I have decided to flip them to flower today and will add a net in a day or two to help manage the upcoming stretch period.

To make me feel better I took some pictures of the surviving KmintZ cola as well as the untouched ZxP. Harvest will likely be this weekend. KmintZ ZxP

The end of week 4. Shaping up quite nicely. Wish I had got the canopy more even but I'll learn from that! Going to take it a bit easier on the nitrogen me thinks, tips curling on quite a few of them. They need water tonight, pics taken while ladies were thirsty. Bananium: Deluxe Sugarcane: Tent:

Quick update, every time I water the other plants, these get 1/4 dose of bloom nutes. They seem to be responding well, will move to half dose at 3 weeks

The frost on these Deluxe Sugarcane pheno's can be seen from week 2 of flower already. I love it

@Ill_EvanI wasnt joking! Its doing the job though, just looks shit!

Pics taken - 08/02/22 * Will definitely need to either remove the net or extend the hoops out a a bit

Some SCJ's to be added later, only germinated them on the 21st.

I transplanted all of them into a better mix and bigger bags, hopefully they enjoy it more than the seedling mix I used to germinate them
