Oh it’s so hard to wait for the ripening.. it seems like they had stalled and weren’t really doing much, even picked one the other day just to check it under the scope to see what the trichomes were doing.. but today I walk in and branches are falling and bending over everywhere and some definite swelling going on.. patience.. little bit longer, another week or two yet.

Oh man.. I’m so sorry for the photo bomb after photo bomb.. but I get crazy excited at this stage. Oh man oh man the quality this time around is just exceptional.. one more week I think, the trichomes are getting milky but still too many clear for my liking. Arrgh.. the wait is killing me!

I know what you mean dude. I love those last couple weeks. That is a very diverse looking but all fire line-up. I finally got the structure of the tent up and I'm using the closet it's in and the 2 100w QB's to finish flowering them. Not like it's not enough light for those little things. The 2 clones in pucks are back to vegging and have come back to life. Back to 20/4 for those and the autos. When I plant those clones I'm gonna use 5 gallon buckets. Maybe one day I'll have a garden like yours. Glad you talked me into taking those cuttings from the flowering Hashplants. At least I'll know what to expect from them. It's a very smelly,sticky strain already.

Well, I got the frame up in a large walk-in closet in 10 minutes. I hung the lights and brought in the 2 photos. I realized then that I honestly don't even need the fabric up now. Hell, I don't even use a timer. 8-8 is easy enough to manually do for now. I figure mold might be more likely in a covered tent seeing as I don't have the fan&filter yet. The plants are slowly improving. The clones are in with the autos and if they work out I'm going to let these get a fair bit larger. I can't believe how good those HP's smell already. Another 45 days and they're gonna reek.

Damn dude! You got some for real bud porn going! You really grow some beautiful flowers. That purple stuff makes me salivate. I really can't wait to start getting some more of these photo strains going. The autos are moving along rapidly. A couple already have a few pistils so my backup is working. I know my garden is pretty tiny but I have learned alot this run. I can't wait to start having runs like you folks. That 1 HP in the Pic is starting to recover. It's short, but it has alot of branches. I hate to think if I hadn't took those cuttings out. Shoulda taken 6-10 more. This stuff has whole fan leaves covered in trichs. I just imagine if I hadn't had trouble..... Next time!

Have you had bugs on that HP? Leaves look they have taken a hit from something or other?

No bugs lol. Annie said the same thing. I have had motor control issues ever since the wreck. I keep tearing leaves that I don't mean to when defoliating. My hands and sight sometimes dont match up. These plants were the 2 smaller ones and I neglected them quite a bit until everything else turned male. Then they started starving, but, I wasn't sure the issue so I neglected defoliating until i figured out the problem and by then they had stretched incredibly. Just in case, I've looked thoroughly with the loupe and nothing. They are just overcrowded as hell. I shoulda cut several more limbs out. At this point I'm trying to defoliate but I get in a hurry and nick them up. Looks like caterpillars but it's just me. The little spots , I think are from being hungry and too close to the light. I hope they keep getting better. I'm going to get more soil this week and I'm gonna put those clones in gallon and ultimately 5 gallon containers. I think the 3 gallon is just too small for a full soil grow. It's been a sloppy mess of a run. But, I'm starting to feel better and I at least think I'm starting to do better. Next photo run I'll be ready. At least ready to fail better. I don't even remember starting these so I guess they could be worse lol.

After looking at them again, I think I see what you're talking about. The little spots all over the leaves. All I can figure is like I said, underfeeding and light burn. I did a lot of things wrong on this run. My brain really wasn't recovered. I forgot to add in the dry veg amendments and I'm sure I missed other shit too. This on top of being kinda stupid at least part of the time. My wife would argue much more. I've been smoking almost exclusively 75% Indica bud . Nothing looking as good as your pics, but strong enough I reckon. I'm going to do better next time.

They are still looking good mind you.. was just mentioning it in case there were thrips or mites or something on there.. but all good my man.

Yes, they do look like they'll make it from here. Nothing fancy, but, I'm just hoping to see this grow through. Most of the lower leaves look unscathed. So, that's why I'm thinking the strong light helped burn the leaves under lack of sufficient nutes.

Well, I'm ready for a harvest myself! lol . The photos are coming along but nothing quickly. Realizing that when you ran yours it was like 15 weeks? I have a ways to go. The Autos are flying along. I have them staked down tight and I have to move the stakes every other day. I'm gonna get these done and then I'll pop about 20 photos. I believe the sex the cutting technique you mentioned will work most of the time. We shall see. Those are beautiful buds there like always. Your strains always seem to have giant calyx formations. I bet it's a great smoke. Hey, I have a friend here who just decided to start growing and chose Autos for the turnaround time. He just grows for himself. Anyways, I recommended some Mephisto strains and he gave me a couple beans. I was going to save till next run so they're a week old today lol. The cups at the bottom right. Now I just need another light to maximize my space usage.
