here we are on day 159, or what is now day 3 of blooming at 12/12!
so these girls were in veg for 156 days before getting the flip. they are
huge, but i think i did a good LST job to get them prepped for the final run!
PRINCESS
CAMILLE
their two roommates are now gone and the lights are set for the cruise to the end.
thank you so much to all the people that have helped, joined in, added knowledge
or anything else to help me or anyone else push it along!!
sorry for the absence...
but we're getting some nice action now!!
day 186 - bloom day 30
PRINCESS
CAMILLE
i just gave them a feeding where i upped the nutes a bit. i can see them getting yellow
coming up from the bottom and i have been going easy with the nutes as they've looked
pretty great all along.
if anyone has any words of wisdom or advice, please feel free to share!!
the CK page says 9 weeks, so i guess we're past half way now for sure!!
i am still a bit concerned with the yellowing on PRINCESS, but at this point, i am hoping
it's just the plant coming to the end of the cycle and putting all it's energy into the flowers!
thanks for that! i had cut the branch at the time and that was the thing to do.
there's been no more male flowers and the buds on both plants have been going along nicely!!
so here we are on day 229, which is bloom day 63, which is meant to be the end of the line for these sweet, sweet
crop king WHITE COOKIES seeds.
but not quite...LOL
have a look :
you can see that they're looking pretty amazing!!
but when you really look close, i think that they have a little more time to wait.
(*thanks to all the great people who helped on pearls and D2, i know how to get it pretty spot on!)
but i can say with surety, these 2 girls are getting pretty close!!
Amazing grow and amazing patience to get those beauties over 100 days before flipping to flower. I'm on my second grow and I know how unbelievable the feeling of harvesting your own top shelf buds is. You are in for a great harvest your doing a great keep up the good job I'm subbed!

thanks Jgrowlove. i had the long run when i decided to nest a couple of auto flower crop king northern lights inbetween the ck white cookies. so it ended up being a wild series of experiments!!
here's the latest photos. they're so top heavy, they pulled all of the ties out and have just started to lean like wild. i keep rotating them to try and ensure they all get even light! i am sure this is detrimental, but it's too late now! LOL
this is day 235 / bloom day 69

CAMILLE
so i guess knowing what i know now, i would have forced the use of the tomato cages i bought, but abandoned
use of. haha. i had no idea these would get so huge and so top heavy. i am sure this is a classic noob error.
but really, how bad is it when my sh*t is so heavy, it falls over?!
i just gave them the final feed, which was nothing but flora kleen to end off.
maybe another week or two? let's see!
you can see the trichomes are looking good :
so i guess it's just a matter of balancing the amount of trichs that have gone past clear into
dark versus the amount of stress this plant can handle as it tries to flop over in the next week or two!
Looking good! Broken stems are a very bad thing! However they can bend just fine so long as branches dont pinch tight and stop internal flow.
I've seen hoolahoops utilized ever so carefully in a similar situation.
Clear. Cloudy. Amber. The three stages of trich's. Milky white /cloudy 75% Amber 25% gives a cerebral heady high. More Amber gives a more body stone,THC being degraded into CBN. Say 75% Amber 25% cloudy will give a couch lock and sleep aid buzz generally.
Personal preference above all.

thanks SweeetExide!
none of the branches are broken or even cracked.
the just gradually leaned more and more as the tops
got more dense. LOL
the growth has been nice, but i do think that the lean
caused some stunted growth as the lights don't hit
the branches quite as nice as before. but i have been
trying to make sure it gets untwisted and rotated each
day.
here we are on day 244 / bloom day 78. despite being mostly sideways, these girls are ok!
getting closer now, as you can see some of the tops of the trichomes going brownish.
maybe another week?! the last feed was just a bit of flora kleen. anything now is
going to be straight RO water for the final stretch.
i wanted to pop in and let you know that PRINCESS & CAMILLE have safely landed and their journey
has almost ended.
i had left them to dry for a few days when i was away at xmas and i came back and they were actually
over dry. so i had to spend an emergency session last night breaking them all down. i was really shocked
at how much i got from 2 plants. 12 large mason jars that are imho, overfilled.
so now they are in for the cure.
thank you so much to all the people who followed me on the journey. i appreciate all the help and kind words
all along the way. this has been such a wonderful and rewarding experience. in a year that i lost many of my
musical and cultural heroes, this was a much needed and pleasant diversion.
