Give praise where praise is due I say
I know the work that’s gone into that plant!
Did you use an open hood Dr.Amber?
Did you supplement with co2?
Just asking because I grew a 91 chemdawg maybe a year and a half ago in dwc, sealed room, supplementing co2, under a 600w hps (cool tube) and scrogged also. Was just over 7 weeks veg and all and all was a fairly good run. I yielded 18 ozs but that was with an extra 3+ weeks veg. The chemdawg pheno was a big yielder And bud size was comparable to the blue dream grows I’ve done. I know the glass on the cool tube absorbs some light!? But very similar set ups, big difference in veg time

Wow, Thanks! She was my best plant ever. Great Genetics. I did not use CO2. I used a 6 in intake with fresh air coming directly from outside. In addition, an oscillating fan and a 6 in outtake fan connected to my Carbon filter. I topped her two times. A complete rez change once a week. I think there is something about growing in a small 2 gallon bucket. There was also an airstone in the bucket. I got lucky i guess. I am hoping that i scored a really good pheno with my current blue dream. Was your chemdawg in hydro or dirt?

@Dr.Amber Trichome that looks amazing! I’m interested in the above questions too. Gas? Veg time? Strain?

My out take was also venting out the window. I was living in Tucson Arizona when i grew her. There were some heavy monsoon action during some of her weeks so the air quality was really good. That might have triggered some kind of magical explosive release .

Haha, very similar indeed. Mine was in hydro, deep water culture (dwc). I also topped mine twice, I had mine in a tiny 10 litre bucket (about 2.5 gallons) and the whole bucket was filled with roots! I could get only 5 litres in the bucket to fill it up lol. Became hard work always having to top off bucket but she loved the constant doses of fresh water and nutes. I had 3 smaller air stones in mine (heaps of smaller bubbles for more oxygen saturation )
Saying that the other difference with blue dream is it can grow like crazy after flip and often grows for 4+ weeks off memory. you can see the haze genetics come into play when the stretch kicks in.
But a pound from 4 weeks veg is very impressive especially without supplementing co2.
Did you get any clones off her?

Yea ive seen a few of ya plants over cpl ur old journals an older posts on here an she definetly up there with one of the biggest girls ive seen..
3 branches give one of my plants a good run

You going to run boveda packs in the bucket as Ozy was talkin about

I'll bag up a few elbows to go they already brought the the rest I'll make up some choice jars n bovedas and prob freeze a bit to put away in vac pac for a rainy day

Very important having good air exchange and air movement all through canopy. Especially when your using 600w hid and higher. The plant will use the co2 around the leaf a lot faster. Good air exchange and movement will constantly replenish the used co2 around the stomatas. Basically enabling the plant to be able to process the more intense light.
You want your plants gently dancing when lights are on. I’ve seen a lot of growers that underestimate air quality in their grow room.

How is everyone doing?

How is everyone doing?

Good so far 2easy. What about you?

 

[2easy]

Excellent. Honestly. Despite everything going on things have been good for me.

Plants are doing great. Can't wait to harvest this one

Great to hear good news above the doom and gloom

This gelato and nyc diesel looks like a 90 day flower ffs fucking 65 days my ass bud looks awesome but fair from done the diesel is starting to be the quite achiever biggest buds by far and solid as fuck. Hopefully they speed up a bit or my other tent will catch up and finish at the same time

I pretty much disregard stretch time when considering flower time and it usually matches up with most breeder estimates then.

Yeah spot on
I've never included stretch in my time outdoors

 

[Lucky Luke]

Breeder times are for the select pheno, generally from clone in a sealed environment running hydro/soiless mediums.

Just add two or three weeks if you havent got any of that.

I'm general I add 2 weeks to the time they say for outdoors and it's close

 

[bursto]

So technically yes haha
Was going to ask if you got any pics lol. Would of been interesting to see the difference in plant growth, bud structure etc....
The watermelon zkittles I’m growing is atleast 2 weeks till harvest and has a beautiful berry flavour. Big dense chunky buds. Overall has been a nice strain to grow tbh.
and yes, good idea on the cloning bursto

Zkittles



i got a lifetimes supply of seed from that biatch smelt more like citrus notes than berry with it being just Zkittles

Yeah it’s a bit a of a cunt it’s fucking my schedule the IB is done and I have half an empty tent. I have a heap of clones might just throw em in and my bodhi will be ready to flip by that stage

My white widow x big bud no where near ready
Must of got a sativa pheno
Ment to be 8 week strain no where near done.
This pic taken at 44 days flower i think.
