I just got done hooking up a second pump for the reservoir in my flower tent so each tray has it`s own pump. Now each tray is independently controlled and the time staggered so i shouldn't get that annoying pump sucking air sound every other day. We will see how it does but i was replacing 3 - 4 gallons every other day before. So i should be able to leave for longer periods of time. This also means i can add more water into the trays. Before i was getting each tray about 1/3rd full and now each can go well over half without cavitating. This was a big concern for me due to how big the plants were getting and the water was only making about an inch and a half up the pots.
just thought i`d post some of these beautiful leaves up that were left over after trimming yesterday. I also received a new strain yesterday from the NORML meeting. I`ll probably post pics of all that stuff tomorrow but we`ll see maybe i`ll get to it later today.
well sorry i never got around to those new pics... i was doing some trimming on the lower branches the other day and started finding male pollen sacs forming on my favorite plant the white rhino Totally sucks the colas are forming and everything but it`s showing what looks like herm traits to me. . . . . Man i`ve been discouraged the last couple days because of that...... So far these feminized seeds from Greenhouse Seed Company have let me down. now i`m down to 2 of the 5 from the seed pack. I think i`m going to try another seed company next time. BBBBAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
here`s the plants 22 days in. Buds seem to be coming in nice. The lemon Skunks top leaves are clawing still (curling down) so i think i`ll do another flush later with ph `d water.
The Rhino is still in flower. i have not seen anymore suspicious balls or anything so i have just decided to leave it in for the time being.
they are starting to plump up nice! i can`t wait. i think some of my plants are having either a ph problem or some sort of deficiency Calcium and Magnesium is kinda what i`m thinking . . . anyways here are some new pics
OK 71/2 weeks in and its lookin like i`m going to push this to about 9 weeks. I got a 30x gem loupe of of Amazon for $5 so that`s been a big help on checkin the Trichs. Just the very tips are turning amber with most still cloudy. I`ve been flushing the plants for the last week and a half. Clipped a couple smaller branches off the bottom and it smokes good. Most of the leaves have fallen off the plants. So first off i`m going to post some pics of all the plants then i`ll get to doing the individual plants here shortly. I pretty much failed at using my Screen to do a scrog grow but i learned a lot about how the plants grow and now i have some ideas on what to do next time.
all these pics are from the last two and a half weeks
to me this one doesn`t look as developed as the other plants. Still has lots of white hairs and the buds seem to still be filling in quite a bit. A Lot of crystals have been forming on this one to the last week as to where the other two plants in here are already covered in crystals.
i`m starting to think that this is NOT a Big Bud plant but i have nothing to base this on. If anyone is familiar or has grown BigBud in your experience did it look anything like this plant?????? I think these pictures go back further than the 2 1/2 weeks
This bud STINKS!!!!! Big time! This one is coming down at week 8 i`m pretty sure it`s about ready to chop. It`s dropped almost all it`s leaves and the buds just look about there to me.
The White Rhino is still hanging in there and i think is going to have pretty decent bud to smoke in the end. The first couple of these pics are older than a couple weeks.
WORD! i know that`s a lot of pictures but i had some time to make up for. I got kinda discouraged when the Rhino switched on me and stopped keeping up on my journal. Please anyone let me know if you see anything awry please post away. I going to start the harvest in a couple days and i plan on hanging everything for a day or so then either jaring it or putting it in paper bags..... any recommendations on what to do there or does anyone have any harvesting tips they can share? I`m just going to keep watching the crystals and i`ll try and post some current pics tonight when the lights go off.
