Carnival: A Community Grow Experience
- Thread starter

Time for an update. 
Carnival 4 (Day 89, flip + 31) Time to move her up the line into the finish flowering tent under the 3000K lights.
She's in a hempy pot with Osmocote Plus and gets watered every two days, and these days I've doubled up the CaliMagic to offset the obvious deficiency.
Next to her Carnival 3 (Day 114, flip + 64) is still working her way to the end. Ripening bananas in this tent has cranked up the pistil development. I've never had one that looked quite like this. She's getting mighty heavy.
Foxtailing like a bandit.
Carnival 3.1 (Day 50) The most unruly specimen I've grown to date. It didn't help her that I almost fried her too close to the lights. She's getting color back, and the chicken wire comes off tomorrow. As crazy as it looks now she'll probably turn out to be a raving beauty. A girl can hope, right?
Carnival 4.1 (Day 30) Grown with Grow Better nutes, which don't require pH adjustment. Possibly the healthiest specimen of the group so far. She was cut from her mother at day 15 of flowering.
Carn 4.2 Still waiting for roots to show.
That's my brood guys. I'm having fun, are you?

All of my specimens turned out to be sativa expressions. I smile a lot.

My latest clone. She will get upsized next week then 3-4 more weeks of veg. You can see the crazy growth by taking the clone 2 weeks into flower. 
My Carnival mother, 43 days in flower area. She has stretched from 18 to 44" tall
She took about 10 days to get into flowering mode. Here she is at 43 days, 2 days after her second cat drench (a Doc Bud HiBrix thing)
I'm guessing she will go almost another month in flower.
Carnival Clone, taken 43 days ago, she has been in soil for 22 days.
She has been thirsty, watered and nuted 4 times in 22 days. Seedlings almost never get watered in their first 3 weeks. Clones are typically watered once.

My clones are going to make it. 
Carn 3.1 lacks any of the charm of your baby Rad, but I'm determined to make her shine before we're done. Lol. She spent three days under a slice of chicken wire, and now she's tied down slightly. 51 days old now and as fiesta as she's ever been.
Now I simply need to stay on top of it and make daily adjustments. Might be time to get her upcanned. I'm still waiting on the CBD Critical Cure to come down, but if I transplant her this week she'll get lots of time to fill the 7-gallon pot with roots.

I'm trying to get a handle pn the timing and growth.
How old is this clone?

Looks like a minimum of stretch. Do you know how much she grew (so far) under the flower lights?

I have to say I was a bit surprised at the lack of stretch. They haven't really stretched more than maybe 6' to a foot maybe. I was worried I would have to break out the scrog but they seem to be comfortable where they are.

Clone was taken at 15 days into flower. 2 weeks on the cloner till it had enough roots to put in dirt. This was taken about 2 1/2 or 3 weeks since putting in dirt.

Just for your pleasure Graytail. 
Carnival 3 at 120 days, 70 days past Flip.
Without you we wouldn't be here.

That's a very handsome girl. Brrrrrrrr
Oooooo that's purdy! 
Just the right shape and color ... yummy.

Carnival, flip +49 days, grew from 18 to 44" tall, she looks more than 2 weeks from harvest
I like her long pistils - it makes her look fluffy
This Carnival has 3 main colas (top buds)
A final look at the Carnival in flower
Carnival clone, 49 days since cutting, is ready to transplant, but I won't have soil for her until July 13
In the meantime, the carnival clone is getting lots of soaking by immersion.

She's a beauty Rad! You have such a natural talent.
To my eye you're looking at longer than two weeks. If she were mine I'd be thinking closer to four. Do you have any fruit ripening beside her?

Yeah it looks like longer than 2 weeks to me to. The Breeder says about 63 days, At flip +49 that comes in 14 days(2 week.) She looks like she will go 70+ days.
No, I don't store my banannas with the girls:
Partly because I'm just getting used to growing in Doc's Kit and the new grow stalls - and about to change the lights.
Partly because I'm not sure I want to hurry ripening - maybe they get heavier buds by ripening slowly.
Partly because my banannas are ripening too fast in the summer - I had to take them out of the cupboard. It's always summer in the grow areas

It's not that they speed up the timeline for maturity, but rather that they accelerate the rate of bloom, making thicker colas, heavier with trichomes. My Carnival 3 is still at least another week or more from harvest, and she's at day 122 now, 70 days into a flowering cycle that always ended around this time in previous grows. I've vegged some longer, but in previous grows they were done at around Day 60-65 of flowering. Ripening the bananas in there isn't getting them to harvest earlier, but later, with much more growth leading up to the end.
Getting close now.

You undeniably grow some nice looking girls.
I'm just not ready for those new ideas like banannas and refrigerator cures. I'll let you risk takers do the experimenting

I have to say the refrigerator dry is saving my harvest this summer. Its too humid in my place to do it normal like. Takes a bit longer, but the flavor of the finished product is amazing. I dry in aluminum cake pans on the top shelf and finish in jars on the bottom with 58 Bovedas. If its too dry in the jar I just pull it out open it up for a few seconds to let some moisture condense inside and screw it back down. Once you find the sweet spot they tend to stay pretty stable.
