Day 49 of 103

Not much to report Except it is time for serious support systems for the Cafe Racer and Malawi x Panama !

Buds are leaning pretty bad, a string around their waists isn't going to do it anymore

Nice thing about bamboo is they are hollow, I've got a bunch of two foot lengths cut at 45 degrees. A piece of dowel and some hot glue and I will have six footers, he, he..

A double hoop on the Cafe Racer for sure, maybe one will do it for the Malawi x Panama.

Also been very lazy lately, time to completely clean off their bottoms

Likely leave the Black African Magic alone, she's short enough her "popcorn" buds are looking like two or three bowlfuls

Cheers

Man you’re full of ideas!! I’m stealing this one too!!

Also need to make my plastic jug lids with the little digital hydrometer this weekend! Fully stealing that one from you as well!! Much cheaper than the big wide mouth mason jars and I don’t piss off the wife for stealing all of her pickling jars!!

Steal away

That's what it is here for...

Looks like the Black African Magic is going to be a relatively short flowering Sativa !

One of the tops of the Black African Magic @ day 50 of 104....

And her younger sister @ day 50 of 92 !

A lower bud...

And her bud back built top...

Oh man oh man! It's seems to be ready or near-ready to be dried and smoked! Gorgeous plant

 

[Ke0ncp]

Can almost smell her through the pictures!!!

Loaded with trichs!! You should be able to scrape the scissors you trim her with!!

"They" say 105 days flowering but I think it will be at least three weeks yet !

Stinks up the whole house, in a good way

Scraping the scissors is the best way to clean them

Great journal and girls!

Are you still at 5g of MC?

Curious, insee you alternated between top and bottom watering/feeding at f first but then looks like you stopped the top watering. Once you do that, are you bottom watering all through flower?

Thanks @Timhomegrow !

I was up to 5.25g/gallon for a bit but the Black African Magic's were a bit greener than I like to see so I've backed off to 5g/gallon again..

This has been the oddest grow season yet, rh has been in the mid 50's Without my humidifier running so I stopped top watering to get it down a bit. Now running in the mid to high 40's, feel much more comfortable there and will continue just bottom feeding for the rest of the grow...

Day 57 of 111...

Cafe Racer, some bottom maintenance and installed taller bamboo stakes and a wire hoop..

Closer on the hoop and wires...

Just stakes and string for the Malawi x Panama !

Photobombed by Cafe Racer, largest bud back rightish

Should mention, I felt the leaves on the Black African Magic's were a bit too green so I switched from Mega Crop one part (9-6-17) to GH MaxiGrow (5-15-14)...

What a sight for an indoor grow, @Chuckeye! Very nice goings ons.

Are you still able to fit them all under the light? Looks like you'd need to rotate them in and out.

Thank you !

A couple did get away from me height wise but they just fit

And I do try to turn them everyday, enclosure is roughly 5' x 5' and the reflector is 42".

Girls look great and I love that bamboo wire set up. Have you done that before? What type of wire?

Bailing wire works great for this, just need to be careful pulling it off the roll

I clamp a dowel to my work bench and place the roll over it, then pull a length. The wire automatically takes a round shape...

Cable ties to the bamboo, grow before last I tied the branches to the wire and then bent them down to the wire and trained them in a pinwheel fashion. Managed to keep Sativa's around four feet high !
