DV8's Deviance

[DV8]

And heres the flower girls.

Blueberry.
38 days since pistils.

Shes tight but smallish in bud structure. Hard to gauge if its a good result while she builds.

Looking back she has more frost than her mother at the same time, I wonder if it was all the supercropping?

She stinks though, now the auto is gone everything smells like her.

Runtz Muffin
Day 11 since pistils

This girl is so interesting to me. Has a huge far knotty stem, seems to drink as if shes sipping like a princess, and is still on the stretch.

I spotted this today, what do you guys think? If it is a fasciated bud its my first, certainly seems a bit weird to me.

Was tricky to get a pic that showed it like I was seeing it. Might just be two buds super close.

Ill try and get to her lowers today, been putting it off as I bent and shaped her vigorously. 1 trauma at a time.

 

[Trala]

Theres probably some logic there.

I can tell!

The train has already left the station......

Thanks Tra!

Look Im not going to get melodramatic. Part of me would just like to sit and enjoy others beautiful handiwork and wait until I fell in love with the idea of growing again.

Its felt a bit mechanical of late. Today though I decided to put on The Doors and listening to old Jim belt out the lines ' Mr Mojo Risin' have given me my groove back.

Look it sounds to me like you’ve got your man period, or manstruation as the experts call it.

Have a cry, eat some chocolate, dust yourself off, and fucking get on with it bruv.

That is what we call a double yolker! Look I say “we” to try and validate and add merit, but it’s just me who says it lolling.

I have seen them here a couple of times tho.

And she is a beautiful plant. Well done Deeve.

Cmon lady, itll take more than that, basically thats just my regular day coping strategy.

I try and fit the cry in around lunchtime, I like an unencumbered afternoon of raw emotion.

Sadly they wont let me dress like an Emo anymore though.

Right lets change the vibe.

Hello grow worrld! How are your gardens? Is everyone kicking goals?!


Veg girls

Clones are loving life. Although I gave the one on the left a 3/4 strength feed, just a few dribbles.....and she did not like it at all....

Bubbas gift, the 420 seedling, cos Merica, is growing like theres something not right. Might be a reason she was a freebie....

Otherwise its all tickety boo, completely Saul Goodman.

Both these girls got a bit of N tox level greens going on. Im glad I dont have infants around anymore, obv too heavy handed on the bottle.

Flower girls

Sweet treats Miss Muffin got her lowers tidied. Gotta say thats the most aggressive Ive been in one go, pretty ruthless.

The plan of low & wide kinda lends itself that way, and Im determined to see it through.

Shes nice and fuzzy, although I dont think this plan is going to give quantity so much as even and predictable buds. Probably too early to be sure, sometimes they go nuts and explode in the week 3/4/5 period.

The same can be said for her tent sister, the Blueberry. I really liked her mother till I fucked up double dosing. So far she has been a good redemption. Not sure the strain lends itself to low & wide as well as Id hoped, but her buds are stacking, run into the canopy, and smell great even approaching mid flower.

She looks a lot nicer than pics show, in part I think shes a bit unhappy and it comes out in pics. If anything the heat her mother had is what might be missing.

OMG! Dial it back cunt!

At first thought you had your man monthly visitor Ms Flow, but now I think you got the full bipolar!

Cut back on your watering, pH. Add a teaspoon of CalMag to your coffee and you’ll be cured!

Seriously tho, good to see you smiling. Life is way too short to resent the thing that is meant to bring you joy. Well I think it is. While I can get bogged down in so much, one thing I never doubt is my love for growing. Even when it goes to shit and I fall, I’m all about getting up, dusting off and starting a redemption plant.

Quickie today. Its run late.

Blueberry

Runtz Muffin
Day 72
Days since flip 25
Days since pistils 13

 

[DV8]

Clones L to R
Runtz Miffin top, Watermelon Zkittlez node, Runtz Muffin node.

Seedlings.
Top White Widow
3 L to R, Wedding Cake, Bubbas Gift, Purple Punch.

And in other tent, Blueberry clone and Revegging Watermelon Zkittlez.

 

[DV8]

Not too many changes in the tents but thats probably a good thing.

Going through some higher daytime temps which is welcome.

Ive stopped short of providing overnight heating, instead zipping up the tents early afternoon, but they could all do with some root warming.

Will put some of the seedlings up today in bigger pots.

Flower girls got another feed. Tried 50/50 with Grow & Bloom, the grow part has slightly higher K, and Manganese + Iron. Adding it in to flower cant hurt. Still looking for a green run before late flower.

 

[Trala]

Looks good Deeve

Have you done away with the second part of that 2 Part nute?

 

[DV8]

Looks good Deeve

Thanks Tra

Ive stopped using both. That Blueberry in flower got a bit of the grow part early on, but she was the first one I switched over on.

Use a grow and bloom soluable mix. Much like Tega Brop.

The Runtz Muffin has had it all the way through, the new one.

Oh I see.

I like the veg component of that 2 Part. Well I think I do lol. I’ve got a proper comparison journal going which will teach me what’s what.

Righto heres a proper update.

Watermelon Zkittlez continues to find additional veg growth, getting closer to giving up her first clone.

Anyone had experience with a Mother that can give me some easy to follow directions?

Blueberry Clone looked like she kinda moved toward wanting to flower, throwing out pistils, and in couple spots a weird reveg like growth.

The Barneys seedlings, Wedding Cake & Purple Punch went up a pot with added mycos.

After this pic I tossed Bubbas Gift, she was just not growing a second node, let along pushing out a proper first. Her roots were good, no time to waste on waiting for her though.

Clones into some early LST.
Im thinking one Runtz might be like a hexline style, and the topping clone a low wide girl with multiple tops like Miss Muffin in flower.

The WZ Ill leave in veg as long as she needs to get big.

Runtz Muffin has some lowers being used up. Its still an improvement. Already looking like a dusting of icing, hoping she goes full Farva and is dripping in it by her end.

The Blueberry looked to me a bit like she might be in a swell, has done for a week, but because I fucked the last one its just a case of watch and see. The upshot is my eyes and nose dont lie to me, only the day of flower does.

Checked over her trichs and got right up on her, apart from the white hairs, she looks close to done through the tops.

Her calyx development is full and distinct, and theres many ambers throughout almost all her canopy budsites, smattered all over, with the sugars also way ahead of (expected) time.

The only real sign shes not in her final run is the fluffy haired look below the canopy.

Its almost like if you drew a line 6 inches below the canopy level, everything underneath that looks about right for week 6 or 7, white fluffy hairs, thin sparser calyxs, and newish sugar leaves.

Then above that line a day or two, week at most, from a cut.

Shes day 53 from flip, Day 45 from pistils, so its slightly confusing. Not sure how long to leave her catch up, maybe a week.

 

[DV8]

Critical Kush Auto came out for jarring, just had a couple of larger colas I was waiting on.

Was hoping for 5 Ounces, looks like it came up a little short, missed by 4g. Her average was a touch over 1g per day. That makes it easier to do her watt/yeild ratio, and costing. For a runt she did produce haha.

Not that 5 oz hurts, indoor monster grows create more trouble than its worth, but 4 to 6 will do nicely whe contemplating the outdoors later this year.

Interesting to see how this next Blueberry stacks up. My guess is 4, but its hard to say, shes plump but short stacked.

 

[Trala]

Nice yield. I’d be happy with that.

 

[DV8]

Thanks T. She was lacking a bit of tightness, maybe its me, maybe the strain. The outdoors girls were the same.

 

[DV8]

Right, actually bothered to get some pics.

Veg tent one is mixed, reveg looking droopy, too wet in her pot looks like, although shes had the least extra watering.

Clone is bursting eith lush white roots, just refusing to get busy on top.

Veg tent 2 seems more postive.
Hooked the seedlings. They still have the colytodons so good news there.

All of them have bottomed the pot, but again the top growth seems slowish. Nodes are tight though.

The clones look to have just started to come into their own, starting to look noticeably bushier on top, give them a day or two without ties.

The variation between the two Runtz clones is cool.

Blueberry still throwing out white hairs, the odd sugar leaf, its like a second coming.
So unpredictable. Just when I though she might be starting her last push she gets other ideas.

Maybe a feed in a dry pot got her excited.

Muffin looks a bit ragged below canopy. Typical week 3/4 pulling in.....like every time. Will try a N+Ca feed today.

 

[DV8]

Gave the Blueberry a bit of a haircut last night, with a good view its obvious shes on a second run to flowering, thats ok, she can take the time she needs.

Might switch her light out for something larger with temps falling, and give her a PK top up later this week

 

[DV8]

Pic Round up.

And the adopted girls

Look at those different strains! So pretty. Definitely made me smile despite the traditional up and down and let them stretch naturally approach.

I just want to supercrop the shit out of them haha.

Oh and bit of a miscalculation on the Critical Kush Auto total. Banged her all together after curing for bagging up and she made the 5Oz with a handful (5g) over weights.

Pretty happy with that. Biggest girl yet. Shame I forgot to take some snaps of those mains, they were legit proper 420 worthy. Closer to what Ive been aiming for.

Shout out to @Trala for the fridge drying, first for the overview, then for the little bits of info along a couple dries. Its a game changer, and I really cant thank her enough for helping me.

It really is something thats not wildly complicated on the surface, but does take a bit to get right. Its a bit tricky to do it well.

Now Ive got my drying process down to a proper smooth operation the end product looks amazing and the product is top notch, couldnt be happier.

Everytime I finish up and admire it, or get outrageously positive comments about the final product from others, which is often, I always think the credit goes to you Tra.

You're a bloody fantastic growmie, and I couldn't have figured it out without you, your guidance and knowledge. First class chick, thanks a bunch.
