The best grow journal on the interwebz, folks. Right here. :thumb:
 
I have another update for y'all! :party:

I'm really pleased with the way everything is going. I haven't had such a bunch of healthy plants of all ages for many months, and I'm not sure what to attribute it to. I suppose some of it has to simply be the soil. Mine is a mishmash mix of various aged soil, some of it fresh, some of it from last year, a bunch of second run soil. I suppose it's probably as tuned as it can be after months of growing cannabis roots, and having all the trim and waste leaves recycled into it along with regular additions of EWC. But the climate is almost perfect at this time of year, too, so that's gotta be part of it. And thirdly, because the room has been so warm they've needed more water, and I didn't alter my feed schedule, so they've been getting drenches more often than before. I'm growing much larger plants than I did before and I'm not getting the chronic fade problems I had. Nice! I just wish I knew why ...

Carnival x Utopia Haze looks Fine! I can hardly wait to get some dried for a sample. I smoked a wet green bud and I got that mild headache I get from that sometimes, but I liked the high - very very promising. She gets chopped tomorrow and it looks like it's a perfect time. The new pistils have slowed way down and the calyxes have gotten plump and greasy. We like it when that happens.

BH x UH is also starting to impress me. I usually do really poorly with these hazey ones, but this one is doing pretty well. I'm liking the spiral colas which don't look like they're done getting fat, and she just finished Cat last watering so now it's watch and wait. So far, I'm likin' it.

Tikal1 is going to be better than mom, already much more fragrant with an obvious fruity strawberry aroma. This one doesn't have the fade either.

Ahhh ... now Carnival. What a nice plant! She topped out only 2 inches shorter than Tikal1 at 36 inches with gorgeous spiky slender colas coated with trichs. Yum!

DrGrinspoon is slow to grow trichs but it's a long-bloomer so I'm not concerned yet. Otherwise I love the plant - really an easy one. She finished at just over 30 inches.

Channel+ is next in line and she was a surprisingly strong stretcher, finishing at 33 inches. This has been a very easy plant, too, every step of the way - and the cuts rooted like a dream.

Y Greiga on the other hand, didn't stretch much - go figure - only 27 inches tall. Another pheno that's been a snap to grow,

Tikal2 is doing that same posture thing that all mine have done - reaching straight up. :laughtwo: Such a fun strain to grow.

The new girl in the room will be Purple Haze. She's pretty small, but that node length rattles me so into to bloom she gets tossed. She has 6 tops, let's see what she wants to do with them.

In veg, we have CarnivalB, taking very well to her topping, perfectly willing and eager to be a bushy bush. I'm getting a little backed up in the bloom room, so I can't flip this one for another two weeks - should be plenty of time to fatten 'er up!

And this is a cut of Carnival x UH. I have another one still in a 1.5, and if the one I'm chopping is as great as I hope, I'll cull the 4th Tikal and run two CarnxUH instead. She'll go into her mother's pot, actually, later this week. They both presented as natural LSTers with tight alternating nodes - it was easy to just bend the top over and let everything else catch up - very nice pheno in many ways.

Th-th-th-that's all folks! I used up all my pics/smileys so I'll have to wish you peace and happiness in words! Remember to be kind to yourselves!
 
Awesome update Graytail.
 
Fantastic Graytail.
Perhaps the success of your current crop is partially due to the fine company you keep here at :420: ?

:green_heart:
 
Well damn Graytail. Your magic spells getting away from you? Can't remember which incantation you used this cycle? What a shame. :laughtwo:

Too many beauties and can't pick a favorite.

I think it might have just a little something to do with the lights. Those lights in your veg room are setting you up in a way you've never experienced before. Add to that your oddly-tuned soil, toss in those incantations you insist you don't use and you're going to blow all of us right out of the water every time.

I can't tell you enough how much I look forward to Monday nights. You're on an incredible roll here and we're all just tickled pink to get a seat on the bleachers. Thanks for a great show. You're spoiling us you know. :battingeyelashes:
 
They all look amazing, but Carnival is my fav'.
Purple Haze looks very promising, too.
