CaptainLucky's First Indoor Golden Tiger Grow 2023

[Krissi Carbone]

Yeah I think it’s really gonna be a good thing. Getting stoned and enjoying each other’s company instead of the daily life drama that all families experience. CL

Capt. you most definitely have them dialed in. And a nicely worn in jacket.

Morning Update: I’m seeing that I nute burned my Tent Tiger worse than I thought I had. Not ever doing that again n I’m pretty pissed @ myself for pushing it in the first place.Smh I’ll now being doing 101/2-131/2 on for 2weeks. Then 10/14for 2weeks. Next 91/2-141/2 and finally 9/15. I’ve recently discovered from Ace that it will speed up the flowering process. Anything to speed up the long flowering of these Sativas. I’m going to do some more pruning n supercropping to my closet Tiger to even out the canopy and open up the middle for better light penetration n airflow. She’s really putting on the strech now and overdue for some. I’ve been enjoying my Chocolate Thai now for the last week and I hit my @MagicStone pretty hard this morning. I don’t know what comes after baked but I’m there.lol Overall everything is still looking good and I’m just hoping that it stays that way. Everyday the colas are bulking up and smelling strong. Hope everyone is feeling fine today and your grows are happy n healthy. Please support the Sponsors so @420 Magazine can continue everything they do for us and participate in the monthly competitions.Happy growing n stay tuned. Hope to have some of Mother’s @MagicStone cannabis adventures updates soon. Here’s a couple of pictures from this morning. CL.

Damn those look great.

Early afternoon Capn, I was thinking of your Panama today as I was starting my day with bowl of wake and bake and coffee. Inside that bowl was what I call one of red pheno buds. Harvested last November.
Wow! It's still getting better in the cure. The buzz even though a little less heady than the green pheno, hit my brain like rocket fuel. My wake and bake is usually my best buzz of the day anyway, but you have something really to look forward to if yours is like mine.

Sounds wonderful!

I looked quickly and didn't see where you are since flip, but here are a few pictures of what I call the red pheno over a couple weeks period of flower.

gwhunran's red pheno Panama day 55 flower

gwhunran's Panama day 64 since flip mostly red pheno buds

gwhunran's Panama red pheno buds day 79 since flip


This is some good weed.

This plant post was such a relief to see come up after scrolling through here. I have so much anxiety I am re smoking my morning bowl...INDICA BOWL.

Man folks there isn't a way or not a way. There are ways and we pick which ones we choose to use. There is absolutely no need for a debate like this. Just agree to disagree on some things and remember the main thing you all agree on, that you love growing these plants.

Like seriously no need to go back and forth, especially on someone's thread. How many flipping things do I know that I do half ass backwards or weird or not the "way I'm supposed to" and I'm still managing to grow a darn plant or two.

You are going to hear do this do that do this do that don't do this watch out for this I don't do that this person does this etc etc It's like the damn lambchop song, "This is the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends". And we know this and still, people are getting like super overly opinionated like just let it go.

If someone does something you don't do just say, "Cool man right on you do you".

OK I'm done. Just want to keep the peace cause you guys are all fire individuals and I love you all dearly.


And MF, I'm almost caught up Clover! What a journal!

 

[Krissi Carbone]

Aww Jersey you’re too kind but thanks me love them long time. lol CL.

And you should love them and yourself long time! Salute to your Mama and her adventure in cannabis. My mother recently stopped her Xanax and vodka routine and turned over the leaf to edible gummies and vodka. I couldn't be happier with the 180 she has taken and how our relationship has grown since. Your plants are sensational and you have become such an accomplished grower. So lucky to have the Sensei here and everyone else with so many helpful hints for you and you picked up on them all with such gumption. This grow you have demonstrated a vast amount of perseverance and I am just so pleased that this community continues to deliver and spawn such talented grows while bringing another level of confidence to growers of all backgrounds. You go Clover, right on my Irish brother!

You go Clover, right on my Irish I’m glowing with pride n happiness from your kind words. I’ve been wanting to try these Ace strains from the first time I read about them even though growing them was going to be a challenge. Wait until you see what I have planned for my next grow. Hope you enjoyed my first indoors growing adventures my lil Italian robe buddy. CL

Edit: I don’t know my reply got on your post but there it is. lol CL.

 

[Krissi Carbone]

Oh there it is, I found it lol

I'm humbled my words bring you a sense of pride. Just know you should have that all on your own though now,
I have enjoyed it and then some you green growing robed wonder!

Looking very much forward to the 2nd chapter!

 

[CaptainLucky]

Legally I'm allowed 0. Grow on my robed friend

Well what the Garbage State doesn’t know what hurt it n I don’t break under questioning so I think yer safe Jersey. lol CL.

Geopots are made by the same company as Geoflora, and they don't ship to Canada.

geopots ship international no problem. it's just the nute they can't get over a border. something in the formula isn't allowed.

PB didn't either, I think someone said their product had EDTA in it, and that's banned here.

could be the issue. i don't think either pb or geo flora has edta though.

Remo is a Canadian company, out near you I think, and it's a good product.

remo is excellent.

 

[StoneOtter]

Thanks for the tip S.O. I’m gonna give that a shot. CL

Fast dirty and almost free. I haven't seen a need to improve it. Those store boughts are luxurious though! Good too!
Waxed string is my fav! The kind folks sew leather with. You can loop it around things and it hardly needs a knot. One hand operation in the tent! Wrap around a tent support and it's almost there.

I’ve recently discovered from Ace that it will speed up the flowering process.

One thing to keep in mind is the faster you flower the smaller the flowers. The time they take is growing and bulking time, and you lose some of that going from a (hypothetical) 14 week flower to a 12 week flower. Unless there is a real need to bring them home faster I'm not clear on why you would want to hurry them along to that extent.

I guess because I didn’t think of that but now I’m thinking that faster is not necessarily better so I’m just gonna leave them where they’re @. lol CL

it pulls back on long running sativas. i wouldn't go through all the calisthenics of half hour reductions. i do 12/12 - 11/13 - 10/14.

you won't lose production so long as you have enough light. you still have to hit the DLI. easy way to tell if you can reduce is by day end droop. if you get day end droop before lights out, it's a good indicator you can run a shorter day period.

Really? I wonder why HG and I couldn't get them? I didn't receive any for my otM wins.

could be the issue. i don't think either pb or geo flora has edta though.

Yeah, I'm sure GF doesn't, but I thought someone mentioned it in relation to PB.

remo is excellent.

It did really well for me, and it seems to be closest to what Cap is using right now.

 

[Krissi Carbone]

remo is excellent.

I'm thinking of changing over to Remo once I am done with my PBLEND stock. It's my #1 choice so far

Edit. I don't think PBlend has EDTA...like 99.9% sure

 

[bluter]

Really? I wonder why HG and I couldn't get them? I didn't receive any for my otM wins.

i know folk who have them here. they have a policy outlining how to ship international. canadian garden supply sells them if you want to go to a source in country. you can even get them from a couple big box stores on occasion.

Yeah, I'm sure GF doesn't, but I thought someone mentioned it in relation to PB.

it's possible, but i think both steered clear of edta as california has either outlawed it or is in the process. it's not allowed in europe, and canada barred it in 2016 reversing 20 yrs of allowing it.

That's true! Though it might be hard to crank the lights on a plant that is likely growing through them.

Update: There’s really nothing to be updating except maybe my Tent Tiger nute burn seems worse than the tips. I’m not exactly sure what’s going on with her because it’s continuing up the leaves but I’ll be watching her closely. The colas are continuing with stacking up and the fragrance is still strong. The entire house reeks of weed n I have my Mother’s Doctors visiting Monday. I’m going to be spraying Febreeze liberally 5-10 minutes before they get here and open all the windows in the morning. I just don’t want anybody being embarrassed, personally I don’t care what they think but you gotta be careful when it comes to being a caregiver.So today is day 68 for my Golden Tiger, day 63 for my Chocolate Thai, day 59 for my Panama and day 35 for my Closet Tiger since being flipped. The count down is on even if it’s a slow one. Hope everyone gets to enjoy their weekend n has a healthy grow. That’s about all for now so happy growing and stay safe but here’s a few pictures. CL.

Evening Capn, They are looking good to me.

My Golden Tiger is just now starting. It looks like I may get three of them to try and manage on a 4x4' screen. You will get to see the result of a very short veg., less than three weeks and I'll try to keep them horizontal till the 1st screen is filled, then I let them go vertical. Hoping for skinny leaves so I can pack them in thick on the 2nd screen.

gwhunran's Golden Tiger sprouts. The one in the back is making it's own path out. Five days from planting seeds.

Bake chocolate chip cookies! Much healthier to breathe than chemicals in Febreeze.

my Tent Tiger nute burn seems worse than the tips. I’m not exactly sure what’s going on with her because it’s continuing up the leaves but I’ll be watching her closely.

Are you still running a custom blend for the GT? Maybe try backing off the nutes a little since I've always heard that sativas aren't that hungry. Not sure that applies to all of them but might be worth a shot.

What PB feeding numbers are you using these days?
