Weekend Update (week #14)
49 days since flip to 12/12
I missed my first update in nearly a year last week. Things are looking a little ratty in the phone booth. Pitbull and Ace of Spades are doing exactly what they did outside last summer. PB is turning a sort of oxblood color while AoS is losing fans. This is my first experience with the other strains so any input is welcome. I'm thinking the Blue Dream (and others?) could be suffering from a magnesium deficiency. If so, it is severe by now. At this point I may let them all ride it out. They were neglected a little over the past two weeks and harvesting should commence in the next week or two. I've heard BD loses fan leaves in flower, but others tell me they have kept them green throughout flowering. It may be my soil is out of steam by now.
The struggle with humidity is being won for the most part. We went from very cold to warm (for this time of year) so my temperature is a little more variable than I'd like, but not too bad. For most of the day and night, RH is in the 40's% and temperature goes from 69 to 79F.
Heck - let's get on with it. All pic's are clickable links to larger images.
The extremes are not great, but the current numbers are representative of what I see most of the time.
Key: BD = Blue Dream, PB = Pitbull, SD = Sour Diesel, SS = Shark Shock, AS = Ace of Spades, GASS = F2 of Grape Ape x Sensi Star, GT+ = Golden Tiger x WYD (whose your daddy = unknown).
A pretty damn ugly peek around the corner shows BD in the foreground, PB behind her, SD shadowed in the left rear and AS is center-ish.
The next two are more of BD.
A little better look at PB.
AS is front and center here.
AS along with SS who is up against the wall.
SD is looking pretty good considering I can barely get water to her. No more growing 5 plants with a late flip in this space...
I guess my quick summary is, they look ratty and the yield won't be all that exciting, but the buds are chunking up and they smell great - even outside.
I've been cooking DBHBB soil for a while now. It is second run soil and will be ready in about a week. Before I amended it, I grabbed enough to start seeds for my next round. I soaked the "volcano-holed-female" seeds overnight on November 22nd and they went directly into soil the following morning. First up was GT x WYD. By November 29th all 8 seeds were up. 100% germination! Three of the four GT+ were the first to see the light, then one of the GASS, the remaining GT+, and finally the remaining GASS. Since these are all F2's, I could get quite a variety of phenos. Unfortunately I will only keep four of them. I need to decide on the best way to sex them before they get too large. I can't put eight 7 gal. pots in there and wait to cull.
This picture belonged in my missing update last week. This was taken on Nov. 29th.
These are the tykes this morning, roughly one week old. GT+ are the four on the right and GASS are the four on the left.
I reversed them when I moved them out to get another photo. Now GASS are on the right and GT+ are on the left.
again gang! All thoughts and feedback are welcome.
I still have some crap to sift through. I may not be posting quite as much for a while, but know I'm here, I'm looking over your shoulder, and I'm with you in spirit.
for going MIA, a total dick move on my part.
You must have grown some bad A$$ weed Major. 
glad the aliens brought you home..
, I agree tho when you can't even get to your plants to water them it's hard to keep up with em......I'm loving my bigger space, can actually walk in and shut the door behind me now.......have a good one major, glad your back
