I just finished tearing the entire room apart, today is day 21 in flowering. There were a number of reasons:

1. Look for male banana's, just in case.

2. Finish lollipopping the plants in the back row which I couldn't reach otherwise.

3. A general cleaning up of dead and/or useless plant material in the pots, floor, etc.- general housekeeping.

4. Repositioning all of the plants, basically moving the taller ones to the outside and shorter ones to the middle.

5. Lastly, to clean the light shields properly.

Much happier with the room now, all set for another 6-7 weeks I'm guessing. A picture will be up later tonight or early tomorrow.......overall though, healthy plants with no issues I could find. Smell has come on a bit but it's still quite low, maybe 2/10. You can tell it's not a fast flowering strain, it sure is taking it's time with bud development- it's all in the genetics I'm sure.

Exactly 4 weeks flowering today. Well, you'll be able to see how much they have fattened up since last week by comparing pic's.........smell has come on, as the resin production has begun, but definitely NOT an early strain. PPM is still being maintained under 1000, normally in the 900-950 range at this point. Botanicare Hydroplex (bud enhancer) has been introduced at a very low rate and I'm still at about 30/70 veg/bloom fertilizer to help keep them green with the later flowering. Still scheduled to go 10 full weeks in flowering, which I think I'll need. Room temps still in the high 70's, which is fine considering daytime temps here have been around 90 degree with high humidity.

Just a quick update......found 1 plant with very minor mite damage today. Very surprised since i sprayed just a month ago but I pulled the plant out, isolated it and sprayed the hell out of it. I also pinched off any leaves with any damage (even minor) and I'll keep it separately for another day or two. No other plant is showing any mites as I did a thorough search.

I also wanted to address the constant comments regarding the hermies people are warning me about. This strain is Gorilla Glue #4 X Cookie Wreck. Elev8 Seeds also make a Gorilla Wreck but uses Girl Scout Cookies instead of the Cookie Wreck clone. There are a lot of reports of GG #4 going hermie, if stressed. I'm keeping my eyes open..........and checking every day.

They're looking good braddah! It looks like it's starting to get exciting in there. Are you getting any aromas yet?

Unfortunately, yes. But it's an unusual one. They don't smell like anything I've grown in the past. And it's not an enjoyable smell either. I'm still trying to place it for a better description.

Up next for me, Citral Glue by Oregon based The Ethos Collective......very expensive seeds at $100 for a 6 pack! I was going to do a Dr. GreenThumb strain but saw these and fell in love. LOL Monster yield, leans slightly towards the sativa side and now sold out everywhere I've looked.

Hopefully the smell gets better as it gets closer to finishing.

Unfortunately, the smell REALLY kicked in the last 4-5 days and I can already see it will be a problem as time goes on......lol

Also, I decided to chop the plant with the mite damage.......I just didn't want to take a chance of putting her back in the room. It's a shame too cause she was one of the nicest in the room with 3 large colas on her.

Back on Thursday with a pic.......

Sorry guys, my brother was diagnosed with cancer last week and I've spent a lot of time doing research for him......and just haven't felt like posting. I'll get back on it shortly, definitely by thurs which will be the end of week 6 in flowering.......

I'm sorry to hear that braddah. If you're doing some research check out the video series, "The Truth About Cancer". It's pretty amazing. My neighbor had breast cancer and I think she recommends taking frankincense oil every two hours if someone has cancer. I'll ask her the next time I see her to confirm.

His appears to be a blood cancer, they are still doing testing and such to see how to proceed.........at 65, he's still relatively young although I lost another brother just a few months ago at 68. He's a doctor, so I expect he'll get the best of care. Not a good year so far.......
