I just took a look at the trichome sacs and they are filling in very nicely. They look like they are transitioning to milky; should be seeing significant growth going into the 8th week. All strains are 8-9 weeks flower time.

Compost tea is dope in my opinion.

Flushing the rez now and charging the camera battery (finally got it back from the fam). I will update with pics in a couple hours.

My next grow I will be concentrating on training and pruning. That is where I feel I will improve my yields the most right now. Nutrients and such will probably end up being about the same in the end. I plan on mixing my own cocktails from soluble potash and nitrogens and whatnot when I learn enough. I have been talking to a few family members and it looks promising and much, much less expensive.

I am starting to plan my next growtent. It should be interesting, and also expensive to get all the pieces. I will probably just do it one at a time.

Anyways, everything has been kosher. Need to correct my humidity badly, I don't know how big of a dehumidfier I need for this small tent. I would rather get one large enough for a 4x8 tent, which is going to be my next step up.

Any suggestions? I see some 40pint type at teh store for around $250.

Here she is, this is from one of the supposed POG. The branch was dwarfed compared to the rest of the plant and near the bottom so I decided for the next two weeks it didn't need to be taking up nutes. It's early becoming mostly milky-white. Some of the hairs, as you can see are turning. She is pretty, and the rest will be prettier even. :eyesmoke:











That dot is a Calyx...:blsmoke:






Like I said this was an early branch and I made an executive decision to cut. This is 2 weeks earlier than should be harvested. I hope to see Amber popping up around the end of the week.

I have a lifetime of learning to go, the respect means a good deal. Thank you.

good shit my man looks like a closet full of nugs.
chop chop chop soon.
I was just thinking that when I was looking at the pics. I get to see them everyday so it's hard to tell if I am doing what I should be, ya know?
You gotta come down and take a look at it in person before 'chop chop'.

Before trimming. This is the bottomest branch. It's weight was making it droop way low. Took it out to support the other colas growth...and to show it off.









After some trimming.










This is another plant I have labeled Skywalker. Although, it varies greatly in color and all other traits.



Its pretty dense and the 'bud leaves' are kind of more crispy than the other skywalker. The other skywalker does kind of look like a fscking cloud though huh?

Hope ya'll are salivating. I, sure as the hell have been.

Not really expecting the smoke to be anything worthy to report on. Way too early. I have seen more flower nodes popping up with the clear pistils. I am thinking they may need to go through the 9th week.

Don't get me wrong I will definitely be smoking the trimmed branches. I cut them off because they are very much on the bottom and getting rid of them will only increase nutes the bigger branches receive. As well as light and clears it out for air circulation a little bit. I have been in the tent adjusting the supports for the last 2 week growth spurt.

I don't believe it will cause very much stress in the plants.

Looking forward to the nutrient change at the end of the week. If the girls are ready I will flush three days prior to harvest. Figure about Sept. 29th/30th start flush. Harvest on Oct. 1st. Dry/ Cure for another couple weeks. Finished Weight no later than Oct. 15th....

....That is if anything went according to plan in this game. Hahaha

I am going to increase my tent size and start in DWC buckets with my next grow I think. Stick with the 600w on half of a 4x8 and then get a DWC & Plasma light for the other side. By the time I do those things hopefully they have gotten a little bit further in the looks department.

I got home a little while ago and my light was faintly glowing.

I believe the bulb burnt, it was new for this harvest too. I have a friend bringing me a 400w, that was laying around. That should help until I can get a new bulb.

I felt like there was trouble a brewing....
