Blah. Bella turned out to be a stringy disaster. Smokes nicely but just such stringy crap buds as to be a total disappointment. Indi is starting to look nice, but again suffered from what I can only assume to be from the heat we have had recently that hurt bella so much. I've switched the...

wow, been lazy here, haven't I? Gnat problem eventually resolved completely using a combination of gnat off, spray based organic insecticide and sticky traps. I'm off to glastonbury in 2 months, so I will run the cabinet down, take a break and get the cycle running again in July. Atm I...

Bella also came down early, but this time because she was ready in 7 weeks (49 days precisely). Gave me an oz and a half, smells beautiful as ever. Both cabs are starting to look sparse, have got rid of some clones that looked weak, given some away also. I have decided that, while the...

Good yield on the indie, the test branch dried to 7g and the rest is currently drying, looks to be a little over 2oz, which is good for my setup (4-5 plants in a small cab with cfl lighting) I'm going to give it another few days before throwing the cheese in, will take some cuttings from her...

Indie will be coming down tonight, stench is too much to take now (another night like last night and the neighbours are going to start to notice!) and the branches are struggling to hold the weight any longer. This will free up a slot in the upper cab for a rather impressive looking cheese...

Cheers for the feedback. Indie is at 46 days, I have chopped a small amount to tide me over as I'm almost out of bella to smoke. She looks almost ready and I'm just giving a little water regularly while she finishes. I will be taking her down a little early since I don't do running out of weed...

Again, not a huge yield, but this was expected due to the fact that the plant had almost no veg time and was only small when put into flower. I expect to get a little over an oz dry, based on the amount of bud after trimming. Put a new bella in (has had 6 weeks or so of veg), 10 days since...

Bella ready to come down after work today. I took a couple of buds a couple of days ago just to test, leaving rest going a little longer.

Those are some sweet looking buds :D Really coming along nicely.

I've been experimenting during the final days of the bella, carefully removing leaf wherever I can, a few per day. I normally start culling fan leaves at about 3-4 weeks, by taking about 1/4 off in the first batch and then taking approx 1/4 of the remaining once or twice a week. With this...

Here are some pics from Sunday. I'll be chopping the bella in the next couple of days, so will get one more update pic of that before it comes down. Pics are of the bella, the indie and the next bella in the cycle.

I left it work, I have now realised. Did some trimming of the soon to be chopped bella and lobbed half a pint of flat coca cola in neat. She is fattening up nicely, essentially a party grow plant in a larger pot (really early flowering) and what buds she has are pretty sweet. Pics tomorrow, I...

Had a complete rip out and rebuild of my extraction system to better accomodate the new fan and to incorporate a silencer, which arrived yesterday. Result is that I can jack the extraction up to double yesterday's rate (which was already about 4x the previous fan's output) and have much less of...

Thanks for the tip. I'd been doing pretty much most of that and the problem, while not totally cured (I still see maybe 1 gnat fly around every few days) it seems to have been at least reduced almost to the point of cure. I agree, based on recent experience, that moist topsoil is a haven for...

Cheese is fine. That is all.

Harvested the cheese, only a little over an oz dry, but probably the strongest weed I've ever smoked. Hence the lack of updates :p Bella is looking really fat and is getting closer and closer to being ready, looking forward to seeing how she ends up. Indie has some nice sized fluffy buds...

New fan arrived, bit of a beast by my standards. Fantronics vk100 (systemair RVK100 clone). Really pumps out the air, bit louder than previous, but I can run this on really low speeds and still push more air out than previous. I'll give the old one a clean up and stick it in as a transfer fan...

Gave all flowering plants a strong nutrient feed (30ml biobizz bloom, 20ml topmax in 3.5l) last night, this morning the bella and indie have shown a big boost. Veg chamber, all looking healthy, have started LST on indica, will likely tie one of the cheese down in the next couple of days also...

Cheese was ready to be chopped, so took her down this morning, expected yield of around 1.5oz I've left the popcorn on, give it a few more days for those to fatten up and then I'll grab the rest off. I took a few test buds off 3 days ago and have been drying them, early indications are good...

Clones have gone to my mate, bit of a relief to have got them done.
