The Captian's Log

[captiankush]

Only day four of flower but I wanted to post a pictorial update. All the girls are headed upwards and onwards, except for the SC who is just expanding like a parachute and making life difficult for the soil girls.

The photos in order are:

1. Fimm'd Captian's Kush, top view
2. Same as above but head on view

3. Cheese top
4. Cheese head on

5. Dream Queen, she has REALLY taken off since her roots hit the res, I couldn't find a good way to get a top shot on her

6. The strawberry cough beast, head on
7. SC again, top shot
8. Stem on the SC

9. My homemade bubble cloner with 2 Strawberry cough clones and a late flower chemdawg clone

10. SF cannabis cup winner, Bonanny Afghani, 3 or 4 days old

11. This is the Chem Dawg & XXX cross I am reveging, the new growth is hard to discern but its definitely there

12. This is a cheese mama I am slowly raising.

All in all I think things are going well. As always, feel free to comment and give constructive critisism and advice.

A big update today. The girls have been on the flower cycle for a little over a week now and are throwing flowering sites like no ones business. They have stretched about 4 inches thus far, light intensity is good as my 400 is about 4 inches off the top of the canopy so I hope they wont stretch much further.

Space is starting to become a very immediate concern as my RH has been hovering around 51% regardless of how much air I move. I think it may be because of how crowded things are getting inside the tent.

All in all I would say things are going really well. Considering that the setup is new and that this is my first journey into hydro I am, very happy as I have yet to have any serious issue.

I have alot of pics so...here we go

And now just a shot of the garden...its getting crowded and even more so every day. Anyone that has Ideas on things I can do to free up some room, I am all ears.

Fucking luscious! Yes your space is getting limited fast though eh? I have this same issue, and what really kills me ultimately is no good air flow....so I have taken to 'lollipopping' and due to the fact that your canopy is going to dominate the light anyways in the small area, you might want to try it out. This way you are saving some space, increasing airflow, and getting energy maximized to your top canopy of large buds. It might not be what you want to do though, but its an option!

I started a dismal thread on it here just a bit ago

Lollipopping

Off to get my portable AC!

Thanks Fred, I am not sure if I am willing to prune her back THAT much just yet. May try adding a couple more 6" fans as well as the bigger exhaust fan, perhaps use mt old exhaust fan for intake.

The girls arent complaining much yet but that could change once they start producing buds.

Thanks for the reply.

They look good Bro! It does look like you have some height issues, but I am sure you will work it out. Beautiful ladies.

[captiankush]

Thats whats flowering right now, all of them have about completed their stretch and I have been able to get my RH down to 30% so I am not too worried about the overcrowding nor the humidity level, things are going so far so good.

Now for my veg/clone/baby room:

1st up is some captian's kush clones bubbling away

Here is a chem dawg x XXX clone I am revegging:
