heat wave in this part of the world continues
room temps and reservoir temps are highest now
than they have been the entire grow
Plants are responding by smelling up the grow room
starting to get to smell pretty nice in there.

Temperatures here are out of hand for this time of year
over 90 for the past 4 days now
plants are doing fine in spite of that
room stays cool even with lights on during the day
bud sites seem to thicken over night now
noticeably larger every day
with my scope I can see many trichomes with large (fat) heads
they look to me to be larger than I have seen in photos
most photos show a stem with a little bubble at the end
mine look like a short stem with a big bubble at the end
(this was only on Sandi) as its difficult to get in that close on some of the other girls
I will of course but later after they are closer to finishing.
I will take photographs tonight for todays report.
Sorry about the delay in posting updates,
been kinda busy the past few days.

You called it Toolage
Jess is coming on like all hell now
Center stem is filling in and looks like the entire 28” plant is going to become one huge bud!
Everyone else is getting fuller and still slightly taller so I moved the light back another link.
Thirsty is all I can say, they drank over a gallon of water in the last 24 hr period
Weather here is not helping either with record breaking heat and humidity its even creeping into my garden
As you see my reservoir is quite warm and so is the room.
My only choice is to ride it out and hope things don’t get out of hand
I peeked in at the roots and they are still shiny white so that’s a good sign
Most images are of just buds but some are of No4s great explosion of buddage
Flowing entirely up the center trunk…
Hope everyone’s grow is doing well
And as always…
Thanks for the support riu.org

yes I changed plans (again) once I saw how she was progressing, and decided to grow out the rest of those Grenadine beans before I do my ScrOG.
It will give me more time to get the supplies / OP together to do it right as well.

Actually it does not really smell all that much so far.
if you rub a leaf or brush against the plants then yeah sure, but as far as smelling up the room not at all.

Again I thank you guys for the constant support
I will try and keep the reports coming on time.

Looking great bud. Nice crop you should have for harvest. Can't wait to see the amount and quality of the buds. I pray to god my harvest is enough smoke till next harvest. Had lots of issues on my first OP. But now have it to a T. Love your journal......

Yes same here (hope it lasts) and I will be between grows for a good while making alterations to my OP before I start again.
If all stays steady it looks like I should have a good amount to get me by.
Thanks for the kind words. Only a few more weeks to go.
As far as quality goes all were purchased seed so unless I was taken for a grand ride, I should have good buds when finished.

I'm sure it will be killer bud!

No Pictures today
Heat outside and in the grow room has come down a bunch
drank another gallon of fluids over the last 24 hrs
Things keep progressing well
removed a few more yellowed leaves at base of plants
noticed a slight bit of nute burn on very tips of leaves on three of the plants
(Emily, Mona, Sandi) others look fine
PPM is down from that crest of a high now anyway
(it got pretty high for about 3 days there at 2K+ but under control again now)
thats about all today, was a busy week so far for me
more pictures tonight (DAY61)
Hope everyone’s grow is doing well

I spent some time looking with my scope at trichs today
Heres the report:
Emily – clear-40%-cloudy-55%-amber-5%
Sandi – clear-60%-cloudy-40%
Mona – clear-90%
No4 – all clear still
