Grand Daddy Black Grows A Stack

Hello all and Happy MLK Day.

It's Flip +50 for Copy & Paste and I've got a pic and not much else.

I'm feeding them and trying to keep them off of the tent walls and they're eating and trying to flop against the tent walls. Their healthy appetites leads to weight gains and then to increased flopping. At the moment, I have a problem with neither.

Thanks for stopping by.

Whole lot of floppin' going on... šŸ˜

Although, it looks like your bamboo stakes are supporting her pretty well right now...
 
Beauties there. I bet they are starting to smell. :thumb:
Thanks Stinker. And, yes, they are getting rather smelly! :Rasta:
It certainly looks like you're winning the battle against the flop, but the pre-harvest pic will tell the tale!
No doubt, Shed. I expect these two will be gold medal floppers once they're released! (But I expected that from their mom too, and didn't get it. However, I don't think I've given these as much silica as their mom got.)

The stakes are doing okay. Looking forward to the day when I can say to my stakes, "Well done." šŸ™‚

Ha! I slay myself sometimes!

Well done steaks! šŸ˜

I appreciate the assistance Stinker! šŸ™‚
 
Apparently, the stakes aren't the only thing that's high over at GDB's place... šŸ˜
Right you are Carcass!

I got my sample carts from @Artrix yesterday. They sent me 10 of them!

This afternoon I got to work, as I finally have something new to do with the stockpile of rosin in my fridge. Thus far I've made 5 carts.

I've been hitting the one from some Slurricane rosin and am pleased to be nicely zooted and making up corny jokes! šŸ˜

I'll post later about the process. I'm not quite in the frame of mind to do that now. At the moment there's just too much backspacing required to correct my many typos! :Rasta:
 
I smoked some creeper weed yesterday and that shit kicked my ass for 3-4 hrs. have not had any creeper in a long time !!Hell 3-4 hits off a J told him when i get paid .... šŸ¶ :ganjamon:
Been a while for me too. I dig the occasional creeper. Know any cool creeper strains that are fun to grow?
 
Hello all.

It's Flip + 53 for Copy and Paste and today I've got pics as usual, and a little something else to talk about!;)

All seems well in the tent (Copy is on the left).

Copy is starting to lose a few leaves at the bottom. I'm sorta' happy to see that. It means things are progressing as they should, IMO.

--------------------------------

So what's that "little something" else I have to talk about?

It's the fact that to these old eyes, Paste looks like she's maturing at a slightly faster pace than Copy. It's something that's not easy for me to show in pics, but Paste has fewer remaining white pistils, is kicking out fewer new pistils and has more pistils that have or have begun to fold back into the plant.

Keep in mind that these are identical clones and that both are being fed Strive 2-Part nutrients.

See if you can see what I'm talking about...

What could account for the difference?

Okay, I'm going to let the cat almost out of the bag about the little experiment I'm running with this grow.

This post is about to go from a "little something" else to talk about to being my BIG REVEAL! So please sit up straight and at least pretend you're interested.šŸ˜

This is my first time using Strive nutes. I got them around the time these clones were cut. The clones spent a few weeks in solo cups and then in 1gallon pots being fed Strive's recommended dosage.

At some point during their early time in the 1gallon pots, I had some conversations with @InTheShed about the nutes. Shed offered to provide me with numbers he would run if he was using them.

I took him up on his offer.

I was thinking. "This arrogant, SmartyPants thinks he knows how to run these nutes better than the people who made them."

Well, no, I was not actually thinking that, though I can see how some folks might go down that road. šŸ˜

What I was thinking is that I was ideally set up to run an experiment using the different doses and see how things turn out.

I had identical clones in solos and then 1gallon pots but for a few weeks, both having been fed the same doses of Strive for that time. I can immediately starting feeding one the Strive recommended dosage and feed the other Strive dosages according to SmartyPants Shed!

So that's what I've been doing since, Nov. 4th. (Plants were up-potted to 1 gallon pots on Oct. 23rd still being fed the Strive dosage.) Then on November 8th the plants were up-potted to 5 gallon pots and the experiment continued.

Ergo, Paste's advanced maturity (if my old eyes are correct) is most likely due to the difference in the Strive dosages!

As for this little experiment, the last thing I wanted to do is chance causing any embarrassment to Shed. Nor did I want to give the appearance of trying to prove that some of his numbers might be shaky. Surely I did not want to end this grow saying, "See that pitiful looking finish, that one's due to Shed's bright idea."

That is why I tried to keep this kinda' under wraps until I see how things turned out. I just felt awkward.

If Shed's plant went south, only he would know. And my plan was to tell you all about the differing dosages at the end but not necessarily identify where the alternate doses originated.

But since both of these plants seem like they'll have a fine, or at least decent finish, I feel more comfortable sharing.

So which plant is getting the manufacturer's dosage and which is getting Shed's dosage?

Ah, remember earlier I said I was going to let the cat "almost" out of the bag?

I ain't telling until the end!:Rasta:

Thanks for looking in.

PEACE
