Nice buds and trichs CoHigh! It's going to be a fun day at your place soon!

 

[David Bowman]

Thanks b.real and Pinky!

 

[b.real]

looking real good, still got a little growth to them, but they are in ripe zone I think

 

[David Bowman]

Thanks again b.real!

 

[Calyx Hunter]

Almost there....

Good Munchday CK! I'll bet it smells really nice there!

 

[David Bowman]

Surprisingly, it doesn't smell as strong as the Easy Rider did. Once or twice I detected a strong ammonia smell but overall it hasn't been as strong or pungent as my first grow even when I open the tent first thing after lights on. It's probably the high heat and low humidity of this grow that's impacting the aroma, I've noticed that the ladies smell their best right after a watering and I haven't been watering as frequently this grow. Right now the temps inside the grow box are at ~90° with an RH of 10% and that's what it's been like for most of flowering. (BTW, the RH sensors bottoms out at 10% so it could easily be drier than that.)

That is really hot and dry. I'm not sure but that could be an odor killing environment. Which could either be a good or bad thing. I like to do what Franco and Arjan the Strain Hunters do and grab a bud and kind of open her gently and smell inside of the bud. It's like an awesome aroma smacks you in the nose and sends your brain reeling with excitement and anticipation. Then smell your fingers

 

[David Bowman]

Actually, I'm not too worried about the lack of smell, I'm just happy that they've survived this long with decent looking buds. I'm hopeful that they will get their smell on during curing.

This Colorado weather can be a challenge! I do foliar sprays with the lights out, several times a day to help with the humidity. The heat in my tent is much better now that there is more room, but that will be a challenge this summer. I have air conditioning, but when the tents are all shut with lights on, it can still get hot. I usually leave them open when I am home.

Good luck CoHigh! Hopefully we can control it enough~

 

[David Bowman]

Thanks Pinky! I've got some plans in place to reduce temps over summer, otherwise it would be impossible to stage a viable grow during the summer with this current grow box environment.

 

[Christine Green]

As long as I am home I can control temps, but when I leave on business I worry. Wish me luck, I leave to Vegas tomorrow night and won't be home until Sunday!

 

[b.real]

the smell will come as they dry. high temps usually make my plants smell their most. when I grew in my closet with an hid and nothing but an air purifier I had to make sure they had water and the temps were under 90f or else they would reek.

very nice S.skunk ColoradoHigh.
is it the one from Sensi seed ?
have a nice day CO

 

[David Bowman]

Thanks b.real and ecdriver! No, these were inexpensive seeds that I purchased from the Netherlands prior to finding out about . I ordered 4 different strains, 10 seeds each, and they threw in 20 free seeds so the cost per seed, including shipping, is less than $3 and should last me a few years. It hurts a lot less to lose a seedling or have one be male when they are this cheap.

 

[ecdriver]

they can be of very high quality even if they are cheap. price in breeding is made of the time needed to stabilize, once it is done, few years later you can have them for cheap.

are the seedlings even when they grow and flower usually from your batch of seeds?

 

[David Bowman]

I'm not sure if I understand your question. The only cannabis seeds that I have are from my Netherlands order last summer, so, yes, all of my seedlings have been from this batch of seeds.

 

[CronicHempHog]

I think hes asking if all the plants of the same seed batch have the same characteristics
