First an update on the events of yesterday. My wife's big annual party was a fantastic success. Our tiny apartment was totally crowded with people but the big old carbon filter worked perfectly and the AC Infinity fan was as quiet as a gentle breeze. When it was finally over I was ecstatic with relief. So now I can just relax and enjoy some fascinating cannabis horticulture!

Without further ado here's the photo update for December 16...


CKS Lambs Breath Autoflower Day 48/90 - 15.5" tall


GoG Phantom Cookies Domina - Day 61 - 7" tall


RQS Chocolate Haze - Day 61 - 5.5" tall


Seedsman Critical Purple Kush - Day 22 - 2.5" tall (Nodes 1 and 2 removed)

No picture of the AK-48 today. Had her out for inspection and just forgot. As far as I can tell there are still lots of clear trichomes and not a trace of amber. Was a bit surprised actually, but Nirvana Seeds says this strain "can be harvested 11-13 weeks after planting". Tomorrow will be day 91, the end of 13 weeks , so I guess I shouldn't be surprised if it takes another week or so.

That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by!

Hello out there in 420 land! Here's the photo update for December 17...

CKS Lambs Breath Autoflower Day 49/91 - 15.5" tall

This Lambs Breath looks so ready to me. No amber trichomes that I can see but still, she looks so ready!

Nirvana AK-48 Autoflower Day 59/91 - 37.5" tall

I brought this up in the FAQ, apparently there's foxtailing! I don't like that at all. I'm very tempted to chop this as well before the buds become all loose and hairy. What do you think? That happened to a White Widow I grew last spring even though it retained its potency. Does that hairy looseness always happen when a plant foxtails?

Thanks for all the help and thanks for dropping by!

Hiya Hutch. That lamb’s breath is looking kind of fantastic! Just a yummy sight.
Well done mate. And congrats on maintaining stealth even with a full house - what a relief!
The foxtails - pluck’em and smoke’em

Thank you very much! Relief is the word We just smoked a sample of that Lambs Breath that I quick dried yesterday. Very nice! Those Budget LED lights are fantastic. There is no comparison to the same Lambs Breath I grew under the blurple lights. Remarkable improvements in the bud shape and texture, odour and stickiness. It also seems stronger. Pretty sure she's coming down tomorrow.

I've heard about trim jail, now I understand The Lambs Breath took me about 4-5 hours to trim on Wednesday and mid-afternoon switched to AK-48 continuing until yesterday afternoon. Total time trimming: 12 hours for two plants - ok I had a few breaks and I am really slow I didn't take a wet weight as it was too much to fit on my little scale and I was too tired to weigh in batches.

Here's a picture of most of the Lambs Breath

and the skeleton

I was too tired to take pictures of the AK-48 but there was bout twice as much. Don't know if it was the foxtailing or the genetics but the bud structure of the AK-48 was a bit disappointing being quite loose and airy. should be good smoke though going by the sample we tried.

Here's the drying tent, AK-48 hanging from the front top-bar and and LB in back

Those fans are not on but there is a little fan on the floor blowing air around and a little usb fan on the roof exhausting.

Hi folks! Here's the photo update for December 20...

GoG Phantom Cookies Domina - Flip Day 2 - 8" tall. Hope it's ok to take cuttings during the stretch because I still don't have a viable clone of this plant.

RQS Chocolate Haze - Flip Day 2 - 7" tall

HuB White Widow Autoflower - Day 38 - 12" tall. Struggling to keep this short while the others catch up. Some pretty serious bondage going on here!

Seedsman Critical Purple Kush - Flip Day 2 - 3" tall. Hopefully we can continue training during the stretch, otherwise this thing will grow up into the lights which I don't want.

And that's a wrap! Thanks for dropping by my friends!

Everything looks great, Hutch!

Thanks carcass! Can't wait to finally get a dry weight in a few days.

Forgot to post a picture of the flower tent with the new grow as a group. The two on the right, PCD and CH were quadlined, the WWa in back left grew too tall and the big-leafed CPK in the left front needs some training before she shoots up during the stretch. She was prepared for quadlining and it still may happen. All plants are in two gallon pots to see if that is viable in a 27"x27". I was going to use one gallons but forgot.

 

[DonkeyDick]

All looking very green and gorgeous Hutch.

Hope it's ok to take cuttings during the stretch

Cut away. The later you cut, the longer they take to root. Once they’re happily re-vegged they’ll be branchy, bushy little monster croppers.
