3 grows, 1 tent. Open to suggestions.

The plants appear to be done with their bloom stretch, so tonight I hit them with some super crop.

In a few days or so I will super crop them again to keep training them to grow horizontal.
I also plan on pinching off some of the bigger fan leaves, but I will leave the plants how
they are for now because I don't want to remove anything till I see how they look once they
recover from the super cropping.

I still haven't removed any of the bigger fan leaves yet. I think the plants are looking pretty good for being just two days shy of 4 weeks into bloom. The super cropping and removal of lower growth while in flower probably slowed down this grow, and the colder outside air I was venting in didn't help either. I hope to see a bit faster growth pretty soon because I recently detached the ducting from the hood to the attic and am now using that ducting to heat my room, which my room is where the ducting that cycles the tent is now pulling air from. The temps went from about 65-70F to 70-80F. Also the humidity went from about 60% down to 40% so I'm pretty happy with both of those changes. Most of the branches where I super cropped are recovering and are more rigid now. I can also see the bud sites and leaf stems curling upward towards the bulb. I'm thinking about maybe doing some monster cropping when I remove some of the bigger fan leaves. But I might not pinch off the big fan leaves. I might just let the plants go a extra day or so without water. I've done this before and for me what happened was the the plants will use the stored water in the bigger leaves first. In the past this has caused those bigger leaves to droop and wilt. Then when I do water the plants, those bigger leaves just die off, or I pluck them. I don't recommend doing this, but it has worked for me in the past as a easy way to rid my crop of the big water leaves. I'm just not sure if there is a benefit worth removing those leaves or if it's best just to leave them. A lot of people would say to never remove a leaf unless it is dead. I have to agree with that somewhat but, one thing I don't like about the bigger leaves is that the leaves are stacking or over lapping each other and I have seen some moisture build up between the leaves as if the plants can't transpire properly when leaves are stacked on top of one another. I also noticed a issue with the hair turning color on some bud sites where those big leaves have been touching the top buds. So it might be time for at least some of those bigger leaves to go.

Another thing I might do is put in a half sheet of foam insulation board, because my tent is sitting on a tile floor and I want to keep those roots a bit warmer to hopefully speed up growth.

Here are the most current shots of the White Buffalo. Wish I had a better cam to really show just how frosty these nug's are.
Not a big yielding plant, but I like what I see. It stretches a bit too much for me to want to grow it again, unless the smoke turns out superb.

Here is shots showing the rest of this grow. I think it is all looking pretty good for being only week 4 into bloom. I did use some Microbe Life Plus-C though and the site I bought it from has a description that claims it can accelerate your time to market, not that I plan to be selling any, but yeah. I'm pretty sure the Dark Energy I am using I read some comments about people claiming they can knock off as much as 3 weeks of flowering when they use it. Between the both of them I ought to see some quick growth. The Terpinator I started using seems to be rapidly making everything frosty as F too, even the leaves and stems.

I also picked up a couple clones from a club new to me. I got them $10 for 2 as a deal, why I went to this other club this time. I wanted Cali-O like weed maps said they had but they didn't. My choice ended up being either Green Crack or Jilly Bean, so I picked up two of the shortest Jilly Bean they had. They had some clones that were even bigger and cost the same even, but I wanted the smaller ones because my veg space isn't all that big and I'm still over a month out till my current grow is ready for harvest. I was hoping they would of had Cali-O though because I wanted to breed it to a Blueberry male and bring back Orange Crush. Haven't seen Orange Crush in the longest time. I think I'll be pretty happy with some Jilly Bean though. Also I took a cutting off one of the Blue Dream that I am going to attempt monster cropping. When I first got in the back and asked about the clones the bud tender said they are $12 a piece. I asked if they were doing the deal 2 for $10 like it was listed on weed maps, and she said she didn't know about any deal but would honor it if it was listed on weed maps. The deal was listed as a description popup thing where I had to hover over the name of the clones and some text came up. I'm not sure they knew it was still like that, but I told her to hover over the name and it came up when she looked so they honored the deal. I feel like I made out like a bandit too because I had never been to that club so I also was given a new patient care package hehe. Scored a free edible and a pre roll. Was a rice crispy treat regular priced at $5, I'm not too sure what their regular price for a pre roll is. On weed maps they have pre rolls listed anywhere from $8 - $15. Plus the bud tender was hot. As she was opening the folds of the box and putting some tape on it to hold the box open/taller for the clones, I was tempted to try my skills at flirting and tell her she had a nice box. But I held back from doing that one, haha. I could have gotten better clones at the place I usually go, but I wanted to try this place out and couldn't pass up that deal. If I was a hydro grower this would have sucked, but seeing how I'm going to put these in cheap soil then it was nice that they are already in soil.

As you can see I never did remove any of the leaves from the canopy. I can now see some yellowing starting to set in which is normal mid to late flower so I'm glad to see this. I expect to see the bigger leaves yellow first and either fall or be removed soon after. This sign of yellowing mid to late flower shows that the plants are using up all the stored sugars and nutrients, this means I should have a good smooth smoke. For now I will continue feeding Molasses, CalMag+, Cannazym, Terpinator, and Dark Energy on the 27th. Next week on the 4th I will also give them Earth Juice Sugar Peak grand finale in addition to these other nutrients/additives. Then they will get only Terpinator, Dark Energy, and Molasses, for one more feeding on the 11th. After that they will receive only water and 1/2 strength molasses on the 18th. Only plain water from then on. Harvest should be between the 25th and the 1st, depending on when the trichomes show cloudy heads and some amber heads, as well as swollen calyx's and most of the hairs have turned color and curled into the bud's. If not all of these sign's look correct to me then I will continue with only water till the bud's look finished. I expect that between the 25th and the 1st I should be able to start harvesting some of the top buds that may be finished before some of the others and will harvest the rest within a week or so later, if they need the extra time. I also expect to see the buds start to chunk out and get bigger and fat very soon. Most of their weight should start to be put on after the 11th and continue till about the 25th.

The two White Buffalo were looking plenty chunky and frosty enough for me so I just went ahead and harvested those two plants.
I'm now down to just the 6 Blue Dream and this will allow more space to spread out those remaining plants.
I was pretty happy with how well rooted both the plant in the bato bucket and the plant in the Sunshine Advanced Ultra Coir were each rooted far better root structure than what I have seen using Pro Mix or other soils in the past.

3 1/2 - 4 1/2 weeks to go, maybe a little longer if it really slows down but I'm aiming to harvest between xmas and new years. They should really start to chunk out and put most of their weight on fairly soon, getting to where the magic happens. I can already see new chunks of bud growing off the bud that's already there, taking on new shapes.

Here is what the White Buffalo ended up to look like. Swear I already posted pic's of the White Buffalo bud's but Can't seem to find where I posted those pic's. The White Buffalo was only in bloom for 5 weeks. I'm happy with what I got considering it was just an experiment and I wasn't out anything extra for the most part to grow it, such as additional electricity. It could have been a lot bigger if I let it go 9-10 weeks, but I don't much care to.

Nice grow

Tonight they got their last big feeding that should hold them over till harvest. One or two of them are yellowing a bit faster than the others but I'm fine with that. The feeding they recieved tonight should help them green up just enough. The plants are in organic amended soil anyway so they don't need much added.
They are now 3-4 weeks till I plan to harvest but they can go a little longer if they need to depending on how they look when the time comes. I think they are looking pretty good, and they are on their way to fattening up now. I really need to get a better cam. My plant's look a lot better in person.









The pic's above mostly show the canopy, here are some better shots showing the buds. Can't wait to see how awesome they will look in another 3-4 weeks at harvest, they should be a lot more frosty, chunky, and I'm aiming for some dark color maybe blue or light purp. We will have to wait and see about the color though. I'm not sure if its going to do it.

Here is a couple video's too.

;D Surprisingly the White Buffalo that I harvested early is actually some good stuff, haha.
It is stickier than anything else, smelly, and a couple patients that I shared some with have said its giving the best effect out of anything I have grown yet, and these patients are hard to please.
hahaha, that is so funny to me because it was only in bloom for 5 weeks, and hasn't been jarred for long at all yet either. I smoked some last night and I have to agree it is pretty potent. I've had stronger but considering only 5 weeks in, I was shocked it turned out to be as good as it is.

^ ;D if this is any sign to how potent the rest of the plants this grow will be then I'm going to be really happy.

To me the bit of yellowing kind of makes the plants look like a tasty piece of candy. About like how they smell too. It's like a funky bag of skittles in here.

From here on they will receive only water and 1/2 strength molasses on the 18th. Only plain water after that.
Tonight I hooked the venting for the tent to a duct through a wall to start pulling in cold outside air.
Hopefully this outside air is higher in Co2. I will just keep an eye out for any mold because that outside air will
also be pulling in higher humidity. This higher humidity should also make the buds rock hard.
The buds are already very dense and hard. But with the higher humidity they will be stone hard.

More pic's, getting chunkier quickly.
