DV8's Deviance

[DV8]

Righto, journal is up.

Defoled the BB underside tonight and did my best to get her tied down to avert a crazy stretch.

Spent some time getting more light on the flower girls.

So much room in there.....

Be the coldest day since before Xmas tomorrow, which coincides with the solar being switched on.

My setup doesnt draw crazy amounts, but Ive kept the flower girls and now the BB on a day run lighting schedule, hopefully the entire house gets offset by the solar.

Should do, the entire side of the house is covered, spun me out when I saw it up there, its massive. At the cost it should be too.

Its ungodly the amount of increases we have had with electricity prices in the last 5 years, and its only set to rise considerably. Think its the right move.

Pretty much single handedly saving the planet now.

Its started! Thanks for dropping past mate.

Was originally meant to begin first week in Feb.

Thought I might get to flower before it even got started haha.

Its gotten milder, Feb is killer here, hottest month traditionally where I am.

Looking at high 20s for a good week with some single digit overnights.

Lights kinda add 4 to 5C to temps, so they should be more in the grow zone for a bit. Praying the worst is behind us.

WZ got that permanent canoeing going on though. Thanks Feb!

Lolling!

I like the way you think sometimes Dust. Gave me a good laugh.

Lmao. I'm crazy redneck. Says it all there.

Flower Girls.

CK Auto.
Finally starting to build, and I got a hint of the familiar aroma of the previous one.

Watermelon Zkittlez.

Smells good enough to lick. Closer to the end now, well past the halfway point.
She has at least a fortnight, probably a bit over 3 weeks to go.

On her tops she has purple hints, just adding to her appeal.

Blueberry.

Shes getting that pre pistil fluffy look. Supercropping her down as best as practical.

Veg girls.

Everyone seems happy. Seedlings look like they are beginning to harden off.

Scrapped a WZ clone, she started getting fuzzy and not in a good way. Replaced her tonight.

Good morning Deeve!

Garden is looking splendid

Hey I’ve been meaning to tell you this joke. Thought of you as soon as I heard it.

What do a DV8 and a vegan have in common?
They both get excited when they see a chickpea

L O L L I N G !

 

[DV8]

Haha, I love it. Thanks Tra, had a good hard lol.

Not much to report really.

BB has started throwing pistils so shes figuring out shes meant to flower

Didnt get any more pics of the others, pretty much status quo.

WZ has some smattering of ambers through her very tips of the main colas, still a few white pistils as she starts her build toward her lower bud sites.

Actually funny to watch her try and refoliate her lowers where Ive defoliated, every 24 hours theres a bunch of new shoots.

I think from now on Ill add the N+Ca mix to a weekly water, and add a bit to every feed.

Im leaning towards a different product in flower, ran an experiment where I added the B part to some water and let it sit for a couple days.

It never really broke down, and in light of this swapping to a fully soluble solotion might be better, more targeted and bio available.

I feel a slow release might be a bit hit and miss. Even if not strictly true, just thinking it might be is enough reason to make a change.

BB will be the first full run in flower, and the Runtz will do both the Part A & B of the new product.

All 3 are flower girls are due for a top up, results should be fairly obvious if the change is the right move. Ill check EC numbers and make some notes.

It looks a bit like a pistil, but that's actually a stipule - males and females both have them...shouldn't be much longer till the pistils show up, but they're not there yet...

Funny, that's what I thought when I saw it. But presumably if feminised seed there should be no concern on it's gender.

 

[DV8]

Well either I need a plant biology lesson, or it a bad pic.

Definitely a chick, her Mother was anyhow

Reminds of a story about a friend in Thailand....I digress

Left the girls behind will I go to the city to gamble help daughter with her house on Vic long weekend.

Heres pics before I left.

Flower girls

 

[DV8]

Veg girls

Side nodal growth just starting to come out on the Runtz Muffin. Shes getting girth in the stem, and will cabbage out soon, as seen in above pic.

In the grow zone, 20C, reasonable RH values.

I miss them when Im away, bit warm, but things can be more important than Canna like roulette gambling casinos spending time with family.

Did this “friends” name start with D and end in 8?

I like the way you think.

All I can really say for sure is the story ends with.

' ...just shrugged my shoulders and thought to myself, already paid, so might as well get my moneys worth.'

Watermelon Zkittlez is approaching the home stretch. Its evident looking in shes getting ready with her final swell, that time of the grow where they start to bulk out and swell from the top down.

I cant describe how beautiful she is, and although not super heavy, shes definitely the nicest overall plant Ive grown. Might surprise yet, for a mid size tent grown girl.

Be a couple weeks left of me going on like a broken record about her yet.

Critical Kush Auto has stepped on the accelerator and is trying hard to impress me. While not unhappy, she has some development to do, and theres time.

Mindful of the fact the last CKA did most of her best work under lights and late, maybe in a couple weeks Ill be singing her praises.

Blueberry just hogging the lower part of the tent. Shes fixing a supercrop mistake I made. Got some stem about her too.

Veg/seedling girls got pics and short summary over at my sponsored grow, link in my signature if anyone wants to check it out.

Im too lazy to repeat today.

(Its ok to scroll past the advertising parts, I wont snitch).

 

[DV8]

Just pics this morning.

 

[Trala]

Looks great!

 

[DV8]

Looks great!

Thank you Tra. The exclamation point sold me.

Up potted the seedlings. Added Great White, watered in.

Fed the flower girls x 3 on a soluable feed.
(1000 on the dot EC at 3/4 dose).

Burped the BB harvest.

Set ties on Runtz Muffin.

I think Ill put the RM up into her final size as she is crowding the bottom already with thick white root mass.

This in keeping with less pot size shifting & having a solid, well developed root ball in final size container by flip.

I think I can do it by putting the BB who is showing just a hint of pistils in with the other 2 flower girls with her current veg light, and giving Runtz Muffin a tent to veg by herself and shifting the sponsors light in with her.

The Watermelon Zkittlez should be done by the time the RM is ready to flip, and her light can again go with her fulfilling my obligations and giving me a solid idea of what the light is capable of.

The seedlings will have to veg under another lesser light I have on standby currently unused by going down that path, so its a pain and adds to inputs, should work though until WZ gives up her light.

Got to see my grow buddy (late) today.

Still got a peek in.

Tent 1 ( 20 days since pistils)
Left is GDP.
Right is Zkittlez.

Tent 2.
10 days since pistils
Zkittlez clone on left.
Zkittlez on right.

I didnt get a pic of the outdoor sativa beasts, too busy chatting.

After these girls are done late next month Ill give him some veggers to finish.

We are thinking of trying another GDP, this particular one has taken over.

Ill grab a monstercropped clone of the outdoors run in next week or 2.

Pics didnt really do them any justice, its the perfect arrangement, I can pop and veg ok, and he can definitely flower.

Gonna convert over to more Barneys lines in the future till we figure out which ones to clone and keep tents full.

Between us we have space for around 10 to 16 in flower.

Those fuzzy tops gave me fuzzy feels.

I never count chickens, but it gave me a smile. Giving him some guidance to start has turned into him becoming the far better grower, and I couldnt be happier for him.

 

[DV8]

Girls this morning.

Critical Kush Auto in a bit better light.

 

[Trala]

That’s exactly what I need!

I pop and veg, someone else flowers.

I find late flower the hardest part of growing.

You cant have him.

I realise you didnt mean him specifically.

But to be clear.....you cant have him.
