CBD Joy: A Community Garden Experience

[Radogast]

That extra 15 days will greatly improve your harvest yield Rad. I'm considering repotting the 7 gallon pots to 10 gallons at some point and veg them for 2 more weeks before I flip. That's what you did, minus the transplantation. It'll pay off big.

You have a natural affinity for this hobby Rad. The canna gods smile mightily on you.

Thanks.

She is actually in a 7 gallon GeoPot. I am phasing out my 10 gallon pots and going to just 1 gallon and 7 gallon pots. The 10 gallon don't grow any bigger than the 7 gallon (in my space) so using the 7 gallon makes it easier to feed the soil the same amount of nutrients instead of having different ml per pot when adding nutrients. I can also fit four 7 gallon pots in my late veg area and only 3 pots in late veg if I one of them is in a 10 gallon.

I'd like to try one and see if that small addition of soil and the extra time to veg make a difference in my space. I'm going to try with CBD Critical Cure 2.1.1. She's almost filled the pot at Day 63. If I transplant her she'll be getting flipped around Day 83-84. I'm pretty comfortable with different drench amounts with my manic gardening style.

With about 15 plants on individual schedules, I'm used to the different drench amounts too - I just get tired of looking at my note cards 3-4 times while watering

How are you liking the multiple wires to hold branches? I like it, but most folks here seem to prefer tieing branches with strings.

NS Canada

Nova Scotia eh!! I grew up there, lived there for 25 years What part are you from if you don't mind me asking? I grew up about 10-15 minutes from the airport but living in Saskatchewan now for work.

 

[dick23rk]

Hey everyone! I haven't gotten over here in a while either, but I've found some more spare time and thought I should pop in with an update on my cbd plants for you all to see. Will soon be time to start flushing a couple of them and get a couple more in the flower room Can't wait!


Here are my flowering cbd plants to start with, not the greatest pictures either but they work lol. I have had some branches falling over due to not so thick branches and the weight of the little buds toppling them over as well, so I did a bit of work with wires and bamboo sticks.

CB Dream
Day - 51 Flower

Tall and lanky like the last one but the buds aren't filling out quite as much as when I grew the other one under my led panel.. Hope that they fatten up like before!

CB Dutch Treat #1+2
Day - 51 Flower

#1 is starting to show a couple of amber trichomes but very minimal. I'd say another week or so and then start flushing. #2 wasn't showing any amber trichomes yet. Possibly because #1 had a longer veg time so it is actually more mature? Not sure lol They are looking pretty tasty though and smell wonderful!

And here are my plants in the veg room right now, likely another 2-3 weeks veg and some more training before throwing them into the flower room, need to get some plants out of there first lol Such a big room now and I still have no space for more plants, need more lights! lol


CBD Jam
Day - 51 Veg

Not much to say about this one, no deficiencies, growing nicely but not fast.

Purple-Orange CBD
Day - 51 Veg

Same goes for this one, growing nicely with no deficiency problems. Pretty much growing the same as the Jam.

That does it for my CBD run. Once we get some harvests done you can be sure that there will be more CBD plants hitting the seedling table to take up some empty space in the veg room as they all get rotated thru rooms and harvest

I find the pins easy to work with. They help keep the upper reaches of the soil aerated too, when used like this. With sturdier branches straps can be their own kind of fun, but I find I can control something that branches this profusely almost like a scrog with the pins. Then, when it's time to flip you remove most of them and let her do her thing.

I think I prefer the pins over the straps, and was planning to purchase another pack of hangers.

Hi All,

Sue, what are the pins you speak of? is there a pic somewhere? Thanks.

Peace.

Good afternoon.

It's picture day and here are our CB Dutch Treats and both are 31 days' old:

The edges of some of the leaves are brittle and brown and it's not nute burn as it started before we added nutes.

Thanks Radogast, this is one of my favorite looking ones in the flower room, along with a Nuken bagseed that I have growing lol Just hoping these buds fill out a little more in the next couple of weeks, soon time for flushing on them.

Hey HG, from what I can tell in the pictures it may be a nitrogen deficiency you are seeing.. Are the affected leaves only on the lower part of the plant and are they yellowing around the edges before going brown and crisp? Also what are your daytime temperatures like?

Yeah, I don't know, Dick. Can you post your comment on my grow journal (the link is in my signature) and then Felonious could answer as he's more cognizant of the plants.

Thanks.

 

[mouser]

Thought Id share my Harlequin

OK That's an awful angle...I'll drag her out again tomorrow and get her to pose pretty

 

[HashGirl]

Looks good, mouser.

 

[SweetSue]

Yes it does mouser. I wonder where the story started that you don't get as much trichomes expression on CBD plants? I've heard that more than once in the last year, but our experiences don't hold true to that. She's beautifully frosty.

Sorry HG, I hadn't been around much and never got back to this thread! I will stop over to your garden here shortly





I haven't had any update recently on my CBD plants either.. I don't have any recent ones of the flowering plants but will get some of them soon, they are all being flushed now to get ready for the chop! I got the 2 vegging CBD plants under scrogs now, 24"x24" and they are both on day 64. Going to let them fill up the screens some over the next week or 2 and then give them the flip.

They don't look the greatest yet since they were just put under the screens yesterday, but as those branches start turning back upwards it will be great I will weave the branches thru another square or 2 and then flip them for a vertical stretch.

[SweetSue]

I was planning to harvest her tomorrow, but I'll probably wait at least one more day. After I pulled the fans I found lots of new pistils. She just got drenched the other day, so I'll let her dry out a bit more.

The camera finger went a little nuts.

CBD Critical Cure 2.2

A couple amber starting to turn up.

Mostly cloudy. Looks like a snowstorm blew through.

These are the most 3-dimensional buds I've cultivated.

She's 110 days old and 70 days post flip. That means right now she's running ten days over breeder's timeline and still going. I've designated this tent late flower, and it's the tent I ripen my bananas in. If I were you, I'd be hanging some ripening bananas in my flowering tent.

You have quite a beautiful girl there. Well done!

 

[SweetSue]

The deed is done!

Now it's time to wash the buds and turn her into a fresh batch of oil.

Isn't this the most fun you ever had? Geez, how did I live so many years without these pleasures that've come to define me?

 

[SweetSue]

She'll hang to drip dry for a few hours. I'm off to find more olive oil

 

[SweetSue]

350 grams (wet) + 437.5 ml organic, non-GMO EVO

Just under 400 ml return. I may pull more out of the plant material later, but I'm happy with this.

My largest batch of oil so far. This batch gets me ahead of the game.

Right behind her... CBD Critical Cure 2.1.1 (Day 87, flip + 7)

Time for a good buzz.
