Mostly time, mostly skill. Some strains are also just much easier to trim.

Beautifull ladies I just have one question how do you get your ladies trimmed so nicely? No leaf in sight.

It's all happening. Nice little line up for the weekend. What? Three years in the making. Hope to make it a cosy kuir plek

I think they finally slowed down. Increased the PK

Been smoke testing them all this past week, verging on 3weeks cure now things are starting to speak up. Clear winner #4. Extremely resinous, and I don't mean trichome count. Resin is something inside the trichome. Trichomes themself don't make you high. Looking at one singular mature trichome the stalk and outer layer of resin head is basically a mix of pure celluloce and silica. The resin inside the resin head contains the tetrahydrocanabinol in all different forms and qualities. All 5 these SSC cuts had about the same trichome production/count, yet only #4 fucked my scissors to the point where I had to clean between every second or third bud or else the scissor will get stuck. You can draw your own conclusions with that information, clearly a lot more can and should be said, but for now here's the report. 1st Rundown - 10 to 12 weeks flower, had different expressions across 5 phenos, 1st plant to finish on week 10 but the rest clearly had to go longer, 2 plants harvested a week later and another 2 plants harvested on week 12. 5 plants in 1 year mature living soil built with my own worm castings and a shit ton of ongoing KNF treatments (FPJ, FPE, FFJ, FFE, LABS, SST, JMS and more) unfortunately not no till as each plant got their own 30L pot, so I had to disturb when loading pots. 5 different phenos warrent individual pots to avoid root zone competition and get a fuller expression of charactaristics. If I do a monocrop I will run a bed. Alternating between worm piss from my worm tower and clean water. One single topdress last week of veg. Jamies Elemental blend + Bat guano + Micronized Calcium. Total weight = 365g GPW = 1.2 #1 - 69g Gelato/Cookies terps. For the bulk suppliers this would be your pick on bag appeal alone. #2 - 77g Fruity/Floral terps with a hidden Gelato sweetness, but the least cookies leaning pheno of the bunch. #3 - 65g Straight Cookie sweet terps, most compact/smallest out of the bunch, really nice structure, rock hard dense buds. #4 - The keeper. 74g Chemical/Gas terps hit you right in the face, with a lingering cookie sweetness, heavy flavour covers the whole inside of your mouth, can't smoke enough of her. I prefer green weed over purple too, may be a placebo by now, but purple is a turn off. This bud sticky as fuuuug. #5 - 80g biggest yielder. Straight up and down Cookie terps all the way. Additional info - Have not processed any of the buds cause they're all good enough to smoke just the way they are. Trim got stuck in the bag, wouldn't fall out even when I shake the bag upside down open. got it on video for those who wana see. Took 40g of the trim to the press, got 4.5g 1st press and 3.6g on the second press. Total of 8.1g from 40g trim gives me a fat 20% return on the trim alone on par with some of the best bud. Pressed Peanut Butter Breath buds, got a 25% return so I know it goes higher, but 25% is about maxing it out for now, I've heard about 30% returns, just haven't worked with it before. All videos of the trim/press/rosin and what what will be thrown up on my instagram page. ethnobotany.winelands

finishing up, last 2 weeks for the 1st to go #2 & #4 first to fade #3 will be next #1 & #5 will be last photo of #4

It's a joint effort between the farmstall above and our nursery. Yes. One and the same. Have some @Bay Seeds auto fems to give away on the day. Sent from my SM-A032F using Tapatalk

Thanks Evan that's the only thing I hate about growing is trimming lol takes forever

Should I use biobizz bloom with every watering as the instruction says? Is it not too much nutrients?

I misread the question, I didn't see the bloom part. I only start adding bloom roughly a week or two after flip, right as the stretch begins.

Well done @West Coast Vaper, that venue looks super and I am sure you will host loads of happy vibes and parties there. Good luck and keep the updates coming, love watching canna business grow.

I basically give Fishmix (1ml/1L) and Kushy amino acid (or bio heaven) with almost every feed during veg (once a week I just give plain water, rest of the time it's biobizz). When I flip the lights to 12/12, I then switch to using: Week 1: Grow (1ml/1L), Bloom (1ml/1L), Top-Max (1ml/1L), Kushy Amino (3ml / 10L) - Every Watering Week 2: Grow (1ml/1L), Bloom (2ml/1L), Top-Max (1ml/1L), Kushy Amino (4ml / 10L) - Every Watering Week 3: Grow (1ml/1L), Bloom (2ml/1L), Top-Max (1ml/1L), Kushy Amino (4ml / 10L) - Every Watering Week 4: Grow (1ml/1L), Bloom (3ml/1L), Top-Max (1ml/1L), Kushy Amino (4ml / 10L) - Every Watering Week 5: Grow (0.5ml/1L), Bloom (4ml/1L), Top-Max (4ml/1L), Kushy Amino (4ml / 10L) - Every Watering Week 6: Grow (0.5ml/1L), Bloom (4ml/1L), Top-Max (4ml/1L), Kushy Amino (4ml / 10L) - Every Watering Week 7: Grow (0.5ml/1L), Bloom (4ml/1L), Top-Max (4ml/1L), Kushy Amino (4ml / 10L) - Every Watering Week 8: Just Plain water Week 9: Just Plain water I also add CalMag, Silica and microbes in once a week through veg until week 5 of flower. Now depending on what amendments you have in your soil will depend on how you adjust the above, for example if you using freedom farms green bag, then the above is perfect. If for example you have amended your freedom farms with something like the Dirty Hands Elemental Blend, then you would still use the same quantities as above, except not every watering, more like every 2nd watering. This is what I do since I amend freedom farms with elemental blend - This works out cheaper on nutrients (Basically works out to R26 per plant to half my biobizz nutrients) and you get the same result as using biobizz with every watering.

you mean bloom during veg as it shows on the schedule? I think the schedule shows just bloom phase, those 1st two weeks on the schedule that shows no bloom is still during bloom, as your plants still stretches. common to know there is a uptic in N uptake during first 2 weeks after flip, cause the plant doesn't get 12/12 yesterday and the next day it's in full bloom. doesn't work like that. so giving bloom the 1st day after flip wouldn't make sense as the plant only demands more K and P at around end of week2 - week 3 of flower when you see the pistil pompoms form. if you think about it, if the biobizz schedule shows only 2 weeks for veg biobizz has never grown a cannabis plant, wouldn't make sense. veg feed with biobizz you need to alternate, give just grow, then just fish then just clean water. not feed every single time, you need to have clean waterings. plus you need both compounds in the fish and the veg during veg, so don't give just fish or just grow. alternate, and do clean waterings. when you ending week 2 moving into week 3 you start introducing bloom, cut the fish completely, just use grow now as it has all the molasses you need to keep microbial activity at a high during flower and the fish which is N steroids would no longer be needed, now you alternate like this - bloom+grow, then just bloom, then just water, then bloom+grow, then just bloom, then just water.

Bushy!

I usually feed Biobizz every second or third watering. I also just watch the condition of the plant and adjust as required.

Fem search.

Shot bud, I've grown about 5 different cheese strains, with only about 3 slight variations, but for sure different charactaristics with a cheese "overtone". I am doing a favour for a grower with a big open space that keeps quite a bunch of mothers, he wants to build up a library of cheese cuts to work with, not really looking for "the best one". I completely agree about there being much better stuff to grow and people protecting the black market cuts. I've told him that too, but it's not really relevant to him right now. He popped some cheese seeds none of them got any charactaristics that would resemble anything cheese related. I gave him the SC cut from dagga farmacy, blew him away, and we smoked some big buddha, he wanted to get his hands on that cut too and a couple days later he asked what cheese cuts I can get my hands on. so I just said I'll throw out the question and see what happens. Cause I know I've heard about at least 10 different "amaaaaazing" cheese cuts on this site alone, not really out here looking for the best thing to grow or even the best cheese to grow.

Cheese x Peanut Butter Breath (R) Kinda leafy.

Good shit
