I snapped a couple quickies of my flower tent a minute ago. The Iced grapefruit is adapting to the intense light of the 600+ Watts of the H.P.S. like a friggin champ guys! The Cindy99 took at least 2 days to adjust, but the I.G. already seems fine with it. I'm telling you guys, I really love this strain. She vegs like a maniac, and has the best structure, and vigor to her. Last time she was in a small 3 gallon container, and had been in it for a while with the same used up soil. i can't wait to see her this time in the 5 gal bucket, and all the nutes she could want ready for her, and at her disposal. I went a little lighter on the super soil this time as not to anger this one at all, but I think what she got should be more than adequate for her all through flower. This time I'm letting her go another week or so in flower. I'm also gonna hit her with more amendments through flowering this time to try, and bulk her some as she can take it, and I know it this time around. I was reading through my water log, and noticed I didn't start her on Bio-Bud or Meta-K until the 4th week for some reason last time, and I really think that would help some with her bulk, and density. I really like to make cocktails for my girls out of bottle nutes using them at 1/4-1/2 strength every once in a while. I really try to avoid anything for the last 2-3 weeks though as I'm not into heavy flushing, and don't want anything in there lingering. I really like a good tea over anything in flower though as I always see best results from those. I'm also pretty sold on my Strapped from Botanicaire I really like the way it livens up the soil for me, and my girls. I made a light dose the other day, and sprayed my cooking soil with it from a backpack sprayer. Needless to say I had to soak it afterwards to clean the dang sprayer, but it's worth it I.M.O. I looked in on the soil today, and it already has slight mycelium growth on it, and this will only explode from here, and get the soil going again. You have to be careful though how much liquid you put in your soil as not to make mud if you don't have a double tub with holes in one, but even then you have to have balance. I prefer a single bin to keep it all in one environment, but would change this depending on the "natural environment" I'm in per se. When you're dealing with soil microbes, and fungi, and such they have alot different needs than plants do, so you have to take that into consideration when amending your soil, and wanting to get it done efficiently. They can be a fussier bunch than any group of MJ plants you'll ever come across, believe me when I say that guys. Given the right condition though, which really doesn't take alot of effort to achieve, they can be happy, and thrive for quite some time with the right food available to them. They reproduce like nobody's business too, so keeping your cultures alive is pretty easy to do as well. Anyways, lately my favorite smoke has been to mix the Iced Grapefruit with some Menage a Trois. It really packs a punch to the head, and lasts for quite some time through chores. I'll be happy to get some oil back in my med routine, but my flowers will always be my favorite medication I think. Just hard to beat a mouthful of yummy!
^^Iced Grapefruit^^ Some of the pics it looks like she has a Ca/Mg def, but it's the light behind her leafs. The last picture gives you a better idea of her true color, and she's quite the healthy girl.(so far) Nice big sativa dom leafs with those petals in the rear of the leaf that swing out like handle bar mustaches kinda. This really is a majestic plant I.M.O., just gorgeous.
^^This is my Cinderella99^^ Huge indie leafs on her that will pick up every ray the sun offers(or my hps bulb) Strong structure about her, and the beginning of huge flowers. She has alot going on under the skirt, but in a week I'll get down there, and give her a good trimming, LOL. I like my women shaved, but still looking like women, you know. A bald woman no matter where she's bald, is kinda weird. Cancer withheld. Anyways!
Last, but definitely not least is the Green Poison. Yes I know she has a slight Ca/Mg thing, but the light is actually making it look worse than it is in the past picture here. I wasn't able to get a good one of her trichs before the timer went off to take down the hood blocker 3000, LOL. I try to not keep it on for too long, and with my shaky hands it can take a few snaps to get a decent pic. Oh well, there they are in all their glory folks. Enjoy your day. Peace and love.
HA-HA-HA. I've been enjoying some large chunks of scissor hash this morning, and i have to say this stuff has a great sour taste, and quite the potency to her. I still don't recommend the strain after what happened, but not a bad taste though. I'm still kind of up in the air about what to run next. It's either the Iced Grapefruit which I've already ran, but really love the smoke. Or the Bay11, and Yumbolt47 as both are about the same size, and would fit pretty tight, but they'd be good through flower I think. When the Blue O.G. gets removed soon there would be extra room, and that would keep em happy. Thinking this through just now I think I'll put the Iced Grapefruit in the flower tent, and veg out the Yumbolt47, and Bay11 into proper bushes. The removal of the I.G. will open space for the other two for a little bit, and I'll get them bigger. When the Blue O.G. comes out I'll pop one of them in, and have a better over all yield in the end. The only big question then is, who's after the I.G. the Bay11 or Yum47, LOL. This way also opens up space for my seedlings, and such. I only want them under the cfl's as long as they have to be. Although if you work em right cfl's will keep em short so they don't elongate on you. Alright, I guess I'll be popping the Iced Grapefruit back in the tent for another run. Lets see what this girl can do when she a bush folks. I really think this time around she'll be even better. This pheno definitely has more indica in it, that's for sure. The last one was quite the sativa, but she should be fun to run with a little more indica in there. If the flowers come out denser that would be pretty cool. If the I.C.E. gets expressed heavier in this pheno, that would be bad @$$! I.C.E. stands for Indica Crystal Extreme. I could handle that, LOL. Thanks for the tip on the vac Slip, good idea for sure. I caught them really early as i'm always taking friggin pictures of these things, you know. I checked over every flower, and not one nanner popped thank the Lord. Have a great weekend folks. Peace and Love.
. I snapped a couple pics of some trimmed S.B., and a couple of what the tent looks like with my new lady in waiting in it. First off a couple of the S.B. flowers.
I was using Optilume so long they changed boxes on me.
<-Same crap
