    Vortex and others CFL/HPS 2nd grow, Biothrive/veganic

    Alright so yesterday I chopped BBH 1 and 2. They were at day 59 of flower, I pulled 187 g wet off the larger girl and 154 off the small one. 341 grams wet total, I am expecting around 3 oz dried weight. They are nice, tight, chunky nuggets. Much better than V1 and 2 as far as airyness. Anywho...

    Haha thanks easy, I am going to likely cut them tomorrow. They aren't really getting much larger now, the trichs are turning, and 8 days into flushing, they are turning yellow and purple. Basically they look swollen and ripe. I'll take some final pics right before the cut and post em tomorrow...

    Hey guys, So in the last 5 days or so the two BBH girls are really foxtailing hard. Looking at the oldest growth it's apparent new bud growth is sprouting out all over. The old growth shows a lot of amber but the new growth not so much. Also the foxtail growth is full of white pistils again. I...

    Hey guys, today I sprayed and watered so I pulled the BBH twins aside to get some glamour shots. Today was their first nute free watering, day 51 of flower. I didn't find any nanners on any plants. Still some PM popping up on JTR. None still on any of the other ladies. Anyways, on to the pics!

    Just took a peek at the ladies and both BBH are showing a few nanner clusters. I'm grabbing them as soon as they appear, today is exactly 7 weeks so I'm going to start flushing and keep try to make it another week. The nugs are pretty dense and filled in and I have seen a few, maybe 2 or 3%...

    Thanks SFguy! I have been thinking about investing in some stable genetics in the future. My Vortex were bag seed but I purchased the Chernobyl, JTR, Carm, and BBH clones from a dispensary. They seem to be accurate to the strain but who knows.

    I've been reading that it's somewhat common for plants to throw out a few nanners in late flower. I just don't know if these ladies are considered 'late flower' yet. Considering I keep seeing it intermittently I am just so confused.

    Happy almost 420 everyone! I'm here with a pretty positive update today, and pics! So I seem to be finally winning my fight with PM, I increased the concentration of horsetail tea and added baking soda. I have been spraying every 3-5 days heavily and hitting them with a couple direct fans to...

    So I've been pretty busy continuing to fight PM on Vortex 2. I have been using the horsetail tea foliar spray and while it first appeared to work, the PM came back quickly. I completely soaked the girls through, and dried them with direct fans. The second spraying the solution had a strange...

    Thanks soup! I appreciate the input. V1 was definitely airy she never got the chance to plump with those balls dropping. I do think I had a light leak issue but so far it appears to have only herm'd V1. As far as heat issues I havent really had any symptoms, the lights are dimmed so they aren't...

    Hey yall. My organic dried horsetail arrived today. I took about a gallon of unchlorinated water and boiled about 1 cup of leaf for 45 minutes. I'm letting it cool before I strain it out and place it in mason jars. If there is any sediment (I'm unsure if sediment only occurs with powder or with...

    Yeah I've only grown one out and it was hermi bag seed, so I had to chop her early at 46 days flower. Only pulled 34 g in soil under 300 w hps. The nugs are trichome caked but not super dense. I bet given another ten days to two weeks she'd have been ripe.

    Hey guys, I don't have a plant update for ya today but I have some pics of the curing nugs from V1. She's lookin at just over an oz dried, that's being cut at just 47 days. I know if she coulda finished, my yield would have been much better. I have sampled some small nug and trim and it is very...

    So I chopped and trimmed up Vortex #1. She was showing nanners and being so close to the end it made the most sense. Day 47, fairly early but just a week short of when the strain finishes. I wish I coulda tried to let her finish but I cant risk my other ladies. So here she is just before the...

    Thanks for taking a look man! Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the PM, and since the last couple leaves I pulled I haven't seen any new spots. I changed up my air circulation a bit and it seems to have helped. I'm definitely still going to spray them all down with the horsetail tea for...

    Damn guys, I just found a handful of young nanners on my oldest plant. I checked my timer and realized it got screwy after I had to move everything to another room due to a surprise visit. I think I'd be safe to harvest since im at 7 weeks. Will the hermi still grow more flower if I just pull...

    Maybe this one looks better, in normal lighting. It looks to me still a good amount clear but definitely some milk in there. Also as a whole the plant looks very white pistil oriented with a lot of new growth at the top still. Definitely don't want to jump the gun and screw my yield, but she's...
