4 strains under 1000W Black Dog LED (pics)

.

My flower room is starting to look good, week 4 and the buds are beginning to stack up on each other already.

Lemon Haze and Slurracane look like they're going to give some +14" colas stacked from bottom to top. Blue Dream didn't stretch much and is kind of bushy, but I've got great hopes for her. The OG Kush has more spacing between the nodes so I don't think it'll have any long colas, but it's budding up well.

Lemon Haze front left, Blue Dream front right, Slurracane rear left, and OG Kush rear right.

I topped my clones in the veg tent last night. This is the Slurracane shaped like a bowl.



.

OG Kush. Once the nodes start alternating it's a little tougher to get a flat canopy.



.

I'm still playing plant sitter for a friend's 4 clones, hopefully he'll be able to get them by the weekend.



.

These are some of my favorite pics of the week!

I'm flipping to 12/12 today - if my tent looks anything like that I'll be more than happy!

Thanks Lockedin. I spend about an hour a day just garden gazing, sitting with a volcano balloon looking at the plants. So relaxing.

.

I do the same - just ask my Wife! lol

Can’t wait for my girls to look like that! Flipping in a week and a half. Only flipping 11 cause I moved some outside for larger yields. I just came from garden gazing! Lol Only problem with doing it so often, it seems like they take for ever to grow. lol Can’t wait to do it with big buds!

Still amazed at how that lemon haze lived through her transplant lol

Looking really nice, been getting a lot of info from this thread

It doesn’t concern you bringing plants from other rooms into your room? I suppose as long as it’s in a tent, away from your girls it’s alright. Just some extra cleaning. My room got aphids from clones I bought at the local clone place. Wasn’t to happy about it.

.

I was very concerned about potentially bringing pests into my garden, I pondered on it for months.

I just lucked out and got clean plants. I don't think that I'll bring in more clones, I'll run these four clones in a perpetual garden for a few years. I have Gorilla Glue #4 pheno seeds that I can move into the garden someday.

I felt that I needed a jump start finding good phenos, I was getting frustrated running a few seeds at a time and not getting a keeper.

So I took the risk and lucked out.

Vuts Lemon Haze is the only plant this grow to give me any trouble this grow - burn after defoliation - but I think it'll be a great producer.

I still remember opening my clone package in horror after seeing the poor Lemon Haze creature hanging on to life.

.

.

I thought I'd introduce you to each of my plants individually.

This is my OG Kush, very distinctive in it's wide nodal spacing. The pistols are turning reddish on top and the mixture of the red and white gives a pink effect. It's not going to be a huge producer but it already has a potent look about her.



.

These are as closeup as I could get without being too blurry. The plant is only at day 31 and there's already trichomes on the fan leaves. Gonna make some nice dry sift kief.

The closer leaves are blurred but you can see the trichomes in the back leaves.



.

Same as the last pic, look at the leaves in the background for trichs.



.

A dark picture of Slurracane. She's very bushy, lots of leaves to trim. I think will be a good producer.



.

My prized Lemon Haze. Not a lot of leaves regrew after the second defoliation but the buds are stacking up from a foot down on most colas.



.

These are the kind of colas produced so far.



.

And finally Blue Dream. She didn't stretch in flower and is a little squat. Hopefully she'll produce a half cubic foot of bud.

Yes, 1000 watts in a 4' x4' tent. I'm told that it's overpowered for the square footage but I like the hard buds right out to the sides of the tent.

I run 2X 1000W HID in a 4'x8'
I guess we're both a little "dense".

This is a video I made about 10 years ago when I was using a topping and LST technique that wrapped the stem around the bucket rim. COB - Circle Of Bud.

Looking back it's probable that the colas in my old way of growing were larger than with scroging. Looking at some of the plants in the video it's like I have a solid mass of buds from on edge of the bucket to the other. I'm not getting that thickness with scroging, so far.

Whip up a volcano bag or light up a joint and sit back for a few minutes.

Day 37 of flower

The. buds are starting to fill out a bit.



.

I repotted from 6" rootmaker pots to 7 gallon (14") fabric smart pots. These clones went into pro mix about 3 weeks ago, I'm a week early transplanting, I want to give the outer pro mix time to get saturated with roots.

What's your routine for repotting? Would you use a 10" pot in between the 6" and 14" or is it fine to jump up in size?



.

Garden gazing, my Black Dog Led phytomax spectrum and a Volcano ballon.



.

.

I think that I mislabeled my clones on this last run.

I was defoliating and taking shoots for clones at the same time, got lost in my work, so ended up with only Blue Dream labeled correctly. I thought I had figured it out and labeled my clones appropriately, but looking at the "Slurracane" tonight there's no question that this is a lemon haze.

That would make my "Lemon Haze" a Slurracane and the OG Kush as is.

.

This is the clone that looks like lemon Haze to me, skinny leaves:



The mature LH



.

The clone that looks like Slurracane, broad leaves:



My Slurracane at 5 weeks of flower:



.

Do those pairs look like matches? I think I'm going to relabel my clones tomorrow.

.

I think they match...The overall length of the LH seems more in proportion the way that you posted, as does the Slurracane's slightly broader leaves - but my eye isn't quite trained yet.

.

Week 7 of flower.

Each strain has it's own color:


.

Of all the plants I've flowered out in the past while this OG Kush has me most puzzled.

The pistols started turning red in the 4th week of flower and all are now red. As well the leaves turned purplish green and the backs of the leaves dark purple. The trichomes are still all clear.

OG Kush calls for an 8 week harvest but I can see this one going to 9 anyway.



.

Slurricane is fading to yellow and is very bushy, lots of trimming. Sweet berry smell.



.

Lemon Haze is going to have some great colas if it fills out in the next 3 weeks.

Slight citrus smell if the stem is rubbed.



.

Blue Dream in the front right. Very squat plant, sticky and smells of blueberries. I think that this will be another 10 week plant.

And always with me when I'm garden gazing, my Volcano ballon.



.

My 3x3 veg garden - front left Lemon Haze; rear left Slurracane, rear right OG Kush, front right Blue Dream. Getting ready for another flower run with a grow's knowledge under my belt.

Thanks to Lockedin for helping to sort my strains.



.

.

Week 8, day 4

This is what my OG Kush has become, long internodes and small buds. Some of the stems have fallen over, not enough support from the 6" trellis.

The front of the leaves are dark green/purple and the back of the leaves are very purple.

I'll be happy to get 150 grams when cured.



.

Slurracane behind the oG, light green and large colas. I'm expecting close to 250 grams from this one.



.

From my garden gazing chair, volcano balloon on hand. The colas have swollen some since the last round of pictures.



.

My veg garden has me concerned.

It'll be ready for flower after a week in the flower tent, the tallest stems are 16". I'm usually not too worried about stretch during trellis training but this grow has me thinking. 3x3 veg tent going into 4x4 flower tent.
