Day 49 Flowering Update
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Batteries died in the camera and I was lazy, but we're back up and running now.
Since my last post there have been quite a few changes in the garden. One of the original clones taken so long ago, has finally turned into a plant. The other two are struggling but I think they'll make it.
In the last batch of clones many of them have shown roots, lost only a handful and others are still looking good, but no roots poking out. Much to my surprise, even one of the fan leaves we stuck in rock wool grew roots, and am curious to see how it would start branching if it even does.
Also all of the trimmings collected thus far were made into cannabudder. It actually worked too!
Here's how it was done.
1.)First melted 4 sticks of butter in a good sized pan.
2.)Added about 2 cups of water and stirred in with butter.
3.)Added a lot of trim, at least half of a large paper bags worth.
4.)Mashed and mixed thoroughly for about 1.5 hrs on med to low heat as to not burn the butter.
5.)Occasionally added more water as a lot seemed to burn out.
6.)Strained through a standard strainer into a Tupperware container and put into freezer until it because very hard.
7.)All of the plant matter sunk to the bottom leaving only green cannabudder on top.
8.)Dumped onto plate and used knife to cut off the layer of plant matter from the bottom of the butter, there was a tiny bit on top too that was shaved off.
Then you use that for any recipe that calls for butter. Chocolate chip cookies and fudge brownies were made. They tasted and smelled almost minty, but I have to admit it wasn't the greatest taste in the world. However the stone came on very slow but hit pretty damn hard once they kicked in. I would say it takes a good 1.5 hours to kick in, and it's a great buzz. Similar to smoking it, but yet very different. Heavy body buzz.
As far as the budding plants go, two of them seemed to have taken the PH Nute lockout a little harder than the other two. Don't get me wrong, they all look great but it's very obvious to spot which ones were affected the most.
Also they plants are no longer being fed big bud, they are being fed overdrive. Many of the leaves were looking sad and yellowing, signs of fall. Amazingly, one feeding of overdrive and the yellow leaves perked right back up and the plant looks like it's growing great again. Who'd a thunk it, a product actually doing what it advertises it does.
Many of the fan leaves have fallen off, so the buds are really getting good light now. I can't believe all of this hard work is about to pay off within a couple of weeks for harvest.
And now for pics.
Here is one of the clones showing roots.
Here is a shot of the veg room, the lid was off the clone dome during this photo. You can see 5 freshly transplanted clones on the bottom right.
Here is one of the three newest flowering White Widow Maxes. Judging by how good it looks now, I think this will be the greatest plant to come out of the garden out of the 7 currently in there. Look how it dwarfs a yard stick.
Here you can see the 3 plants that are 21 days into flowering crammed into the back of the bloom room. This room is definitely at maximum capacity if not over. We won't be making the same PH mistakes on this batch.
Here is a shot of the trichs on one of the 49 day old plants. I think they are mostly still clear but I do see a few cloudy ones in there. I went to walmart today to find a good magnifying glass, but theirs were mostly crap. Any ideas on what kind of store would carry a good magnifying glass? How much longer do you think this has to go, I know it's only one pic but it's hard to snap close ups of the trichs, with my camera anyway.
Here is a shot of the entire bloom room. These babies are turning into monsters!!! I wish that I knew now what sort of yield to expect, I am really hoping for at least 2 Z's a plant. Keep in mind this room is 6 ft deep and completely packed with plants.
One of the top cola's. It's easy to see why they call this strain white widow, even more so when it's not under the yellow HPS light.
It's amazing to see all the leaves turning the colors of fall in there. That must only mean they are getting close!
A few side bud shots. Many of these side buds are approaching a foot long.
So that's it for now.
hey I have had no internet down where I live for a couple days. But, the leaves as in your diagram shows bottom up, if I am understanding it. Leaves can and can start yellowing - turning colors from the moment it starts to flower from either the inside lower bottom or ? Yellowing can occur various places and locations throughout plant mostly during the later stages of bud development. Fertilzers, PH, soil, watering, all plays a part in this as well.
