That’s awesome that your GF is starting. I try to show my wife key things from time to time, but she’s not taking a keen interest yet because she’s not using it a lot in her treatment. I think that’ll chance once I get a Magical Butter Machine and start making topical ointment.
Hey Ase......been away from 420 for a couple of weeks and missed the holidays. Wanted to stop in and wish you and yours a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hope your garden stays green, pest free and your buds are frosty and potent brother!
Ah more ATF popping up, I love it!! I see Guy has 2 going, and I think Chris Scorpio has 2 or 3 going.
And dabber dropped 3 yesterday .

Thanks VS! I wish the same to you my friend. Garden starts coming down tomorrow! New girls flipped on New Years with a few little seeds in veg pots already and some that will be planted today because I had them germinating in baggies! Lots going on to start 2018!

It's cool for sure. I'm glad she is ok with what I do for my hobby and kind of ironic that she is going into massage therapy and CBD stuff is on the rise. So far it's a great match! I do kind of like that growing is my thing and my time but she will be doing it all on her own and in her own place so I'll have very little to do with it. She knows a guy that is always a Facetime or phone call away though
, but I really want her to learn. I had the extra equipment so lets see what she can do!- Thread starter

Day 2 Flower Tent A - Day 70 Flower Tent B
I could have taken down the Ice today if I wanted to but I am so worn out from work. So today I just kept feeding the girls plain water and I will likely take it down tomorrow or the next day. I'd love to think that I'd get to it tomorrow but I am so worn out. Been logging tons of OT at work and doing a lot of lifting so my back is already hurting. The last thing I want to do right now is trimming. Thank the Lord that I have a massage therapist girlfriend! She will probably even help me trim. I call that a win-win.
Anyways the plants are finishing well and by next weekend they should all be chopped down. The 4 that will replace them are the seedlings I popped with Dobewon. The Anubis is having a bit of an issue but I usually cull that node when I top the plant so as long as the rest of the growth is good then we should be fine. The 4 on the right are my girlfriends for her grow. She plans to plant them next weekend so I'll try to get them big enough to transplant in 10 days. I also didn't notice until now that the middle one is the wrong color and should be a purple colored stick. It looked right because of the blurple from my other tents lights, LoL!
The girls I flipped with Newty (and I'm finding a lot of other people) really started immediately showing they were ready to go in flip. One night of 12/12 and they had extremely light green growth everywhere. This is now two full days and all 3 but the Green Crack look great. Green Crack is going to be shorter if she doesn't get her butt in gear. Doing a multi strain grow all the time is tough. Usually one of them just doesn't want to grow like the others almost every time. I can see why cloning and mother plants are the next steps for most growers.
Starting top left and going counter clockwise. Super Iced Grapefruit, Green Crack, Crown Royale and Blue Dream.
Lastly is the Flower tent and it has hit Day 70 and things are looking ready. I have kind of given up on stringing big colas up at this point and things are sagging bigtime. With harvest just around the corner I just decided to let things go and I can see branches that are holding on for dear life to not fall completely over. I assume by the time the final plant is harvested there will plenty of fallen branches. That should mean my density is better than normal and hopefully my yields show that!

Your flower tent looks like a mess of buds and I mean that in the best possible way! Towards the end of my Chocolope grow, branches were tough to manage and were all over the place - if nothing else, it got more light where there was less before, which wasn’t a bad thing. I had meatier buds further down with the Chocolope than with my more classically trained plants.
I’ll see about getting a pic of my seedlings up tonight to compare. Mine aren’t as uniformly nice and my White Widow is way freakier than your Anubis! But mine have almost all turned the corner at this point. Royal Gorilla still lags, so unfortunately she won’t make it into flower this round, but if I can get her going I’ll flower her on my next run.

Yeah the density going on with these buds is fantastic but the proof will be in the yield. If the yield ends up mediocre then I may go to a 49 day veg instead of a 42. I've never had the problem of plants falling over because I quadline and the plants are wider and shorter. I usually don't have to worry about colas getting too heavy. The branches are short and thick and fat and can usually hold a lot of weight. These plants have the same structure that they always do but this time colas are becoming a hot mess. Like you said, it's a good problem to have. If this happens again to my next round of girls I will have to start tying up colas before it gets sloppy again.
Hot mess is right! A good hot mess that I want to live in.Lucky!

Ase, as a Chemdawg fan, I thought you mind be interested to know I have a 5g sampler on the way from one of my LPs. I’ve never had Chemdawg and love Sour Diesel, so I’m looking forward to this.

Hope you get some quality stuff for your first batch. If you like Sour Diesel you should love it. Sour Diesel was probably the first strain whenever I saw it I bought it. I had a really good local supply of it years and years ago. He also had Trainwreck all the time that was great too so inevitably those 2 strains have always been towards the top. Gorilla Glue and Chemdawg have kind of taken over for me now but if I come across any good Sour D or Trainwreck I still snatch it up to this day. Which reminds me, my next purchase I think I am getting some ATF and I'll throw in some Trainwreck. Maybe a Sour D as well!

Day 5 Flower Tent A - Day 73 Flower Tent B
My girls seedlings all popped up last night so today is day 1 for them. They all look good and have all came up at a fast rate together. The other girls in the seedling tent are now day 11 and other than the Anubis with the Nemo fan leaf, everything is looking as it should. I will likely transplant them to their final pots in a couple days.
The Flower Tent A has already began to really grow vigorously. 5 days since the flip and they are really reaching for the sky. It's my favorite week in growing this next week, watching them stretch and show their final structure. Interested to see what the Green Crack ends up like most but the Blue Dream and Super Iced Grapefruit are stunning. The Crown Royale isn't far behind them either, I think it's catching up.
Canopy. I really want to pluck leaves but I'm resisting this time until a couple more weeks.
Sideshot. Let the stretch begin! I'll try to include sideshots in all of the stretch updates until they stop.
The Flower Tent B is continuing to finish.
But wait! There is only 3 plants in there! That's right, Ice came down today. It looked and smelled fantastic. It's Nirvana too so I know it is going to be good smoke. This is the first time I've had all 4 tents going on at the same time. It's pretty cool to see it all work as planned. I'll be taking down the rest of the girls when they are ready. Should be soon for the Jock Horror.

Pretty happy camper right now. This grow in tent B looks to be closing down without any problems or issues. I'm not sure I'm going to hit my yield goal of 16oz but ya never know. It's so hard to guess at this point. The density and rosin production was better than I have ever gotten so I will be excited to get these dry and curing to see what the final outcome is. No matter what it's going to be the best quality batch I've grown to date.

Congrats on getting the Ice down - it’s looking great. The babies are all doing well too. I’ve always counted veg days from when I planted the seed, didn’t realize people counted from when they came up rather than when they went in, which is crazy considering how many journals I’ve followed.
16 oz is a big number - what’s your record? My 8.89 from the fall is etched into my conscience now - I’m going to shoot for 10 myself, but I think 12 is doable even on this grow for me.

Great looking haul on the ice Ase
Hi Ase.
Mmmmm Sour D is one of my favs and surprisingly I've never tried Chemdawg but now I'm adding it to my list! I already know we all have similar strain interests so I'll be looking for it. You should definitely add Sour d to your line up!
I'm feeling great vibes coming from your Grow today! Great job, what a fabulous plant that Ice! I bet you hit 17 oz this time.those plants are ridiculous in the best way.
Our plants are cruising along together I see I am totally resisting the pluck and it's so hard but I keep saying to myself, (no lie) wwad? aka what would Ase do? Then I slap my hand and back off.Ack they are so bushy again already but not like yours, holy crap!
I was at work all day until about an hour ago. I left for work before the plants woke up and I came home too late to say good night so I have officially left them alone for 1 full day .I'm so excited to see them in the am!
I ramble, first j of the day! If your up, have a toke of my tangerine dream .
