Today is day 15 of 12/12 !

Within an inch The Girls have grown A Foot in the last 6 days !

Black African Magic #2 is the tallest @ 36"

I see super cropping in her future

Drinking roughly half the reservoir every day @ 5g/gallon of MC one part..

Cheers

Day 17 of 12/12

I filled the tops of two pails with ProMix HP and watered it in, humidity the next day was up 14% from 40%

Took that as a sign that it was time to lollipop

So all the girls got a hair cut of one extent or the other...

Growth rates are continuing @ 2" per day

The Girls...

Cheers

 

[Lerugged]

Nice growing. They look superb.

Thanks @Lerugged !

Little concerned about the stretch but I have lots of head room

Cheers

Nice clean-up Chuckeye! You've got them long and lean!

Thanks @Grand Daddy Black !

It's the long I'm concerned about

My last sativa grow in fabric bags stretched for about 30 days !

I'm on day 19 with the Black African Magic #2 @ 45"

Cheers

 

[Chuckeye]

Just some fun

There is always that one contrary leaf !

For scale, my 5' x 5' x 4' high moveable panels in a 10' x 10' x 8' high room...

Time to raise the lights, again

Open...

Stretch in one day >

Black African Magic - 1"
Black African Magic #2 - 3"
Malawi x Panama - 1"
Cafe Racer - 3"

Cheers, eh ?

 

[Stunger]

They're looking nice and healthy Chuck, stretching to new heights!

 

[HashGirl]

I can't believe I didn't know you started a new journal and grow. Flowering is the best time anyways so I'm not really all that late.

I grew Cafe Racer last year and mine only got to 27" tall. Of course, mine battled PM the entire time so as long as that doesn't occur, I'll look forward to seeing what a healthy one is supposed to like. I haven't tried it yet but hope to get to it sometime in the next few weeks.

Also, @Emilya Green posted info she discovered about far red lights reducing stretch. I thought you might be interested. It's obviously too late this time but maybe something you'd like to bookmark?

Keep forgetting to post this, we will see how far off they are

Cheers

My Cafe Racer went 85 days in Flower but as I said, her health was compromised.

Do you have your bud tested, Chuck? I'd be interested in knowing whether the projected THC % is accurate.

One more question, are the Black African Magic ladies sativa-dominant? I would assume so as I know you like sativas but even people who love sativas like you and me still grow indica-dominant strains once in awhile to help them with sleep.

You're just in time for the fun part

Already 43" and weeks to go ! She is from Blimburn Seeds via True North and they say she's mostly Sativa @ 25% THC

Girl Scout Cookies x Gran Daddy Purple, good parents, eh ?

Definitely can use some help there. Didn't train wide/low enough and flipped later than I normally do !

I really don't want to but if necessary I'll install a hoop and tie the branches down to that....

Kind of on the fence for that, I've still got a couple of feet of head room and I'm only leaving bud sites for the last two feet or so of the branches.

Do you have your bud tested, Chuck? I'd be interested in knowing whether the projected THC % is accurate.

I do. In house testing

Only one it matters to is me, I use a measured scoop and smoke it three or four days in a row to get a feel for its effects. I should keep a log though, my memory is already cloudy about the effects of Durban Poison, Golden Tiger, Malawi, etc. I kinda know which ones to go slow with, he, he...

Wild Thailand blew my socks off. I dried the tips from bud back building at about the fifth week of flower and got about a half a bowlful. Roughly my test quantity and It Was Too Much

One more question, are the Black African Magic ladies sativa-dominant? I would assume so as I know you like sativas but even people who love sativas like you and me still grow indica-dominant strains once in awhile to help them with sleep.

You wouldn't know it by her 8" x 8" leaves but she is 100% sativa !

Personally I'm all done with the heavy body Indica stone, much prefer the high of Sativa's but enjoy sativa dominant hybrids such as Apple Betty

And I'm really lucky, never had a problem with sleep !

Good to have you on board @HashGirl !

Cheers

Everything is looking good buddy!! Nice and green. Some leggy gals!! Always amazes me how much they can stretch. Before I moved indoors I only saw my girls once or twice a week and always loved seeing the difference. Happy Sunday Growmie!! Keep it green and frosty!!

Thanks @Scottay !

Did everything I could to keep them down

The Black African Magic is suppose to be a medium height plant but....

Pushed my lights as close as I ever have and they just keep on keeping on

Cheers

 

[Chuckeye]

Day 21 of a total of 74...

Stretch/height for the day is..

Black African Magic > 1/2" / 35 1/2"
Black African Magic #2 > 2 1/2" / 48 1/2"
Malawi x Panama > 1 1/2" / 39 1/2"
Cafe Racer > 3" / 47"

Added some risers to the two shortest to even up the canopy and raised the lights, again

Cheers

Damn SIPs!

 

[Fudo Myoo]

You’re going to love that M/P if you’re into Sativas. I had some late flower issues and the weed was still strong. Ended up making most of it into hash. I got one seed left and can’t wait to try again. Yours look great. It’ll be nice to see what one’s suppose to look like.

 

[Chuckeye]

Damn SIPs!

Yeah, they suck

Thanks !

I usually do four different strains each grow so it's always an adventure to see how they do

And yes, I'm into Sativa's

Cheers

Day 24 and some slight hope the stretch is slowing

Black African Magic and Malawi x Panama Only grew 1" in the last day !

Black African Magic #2 was 2", Cafe Racer was 2 1/2"

Bud shots...

The Girls...

BTW > still at 5g/gallon of MC one, not a blemish Anywhere !

On three of the girls I cleaned off their bottoms a week ago (?), the cotyledon leaves were still green

Cheers

Found this par map on cocoforcannabis site, the red circles are roughly the space my plants occupy.

My light is horizontal in the middle...
