Re: Icemud LED Grow Featuring The All New Budmaster COB Technology - White Full Spect
Happy Holidays everyeone!!!! and Merry Christmas!!!!
This is going to be my last update for about a week as I will be leaving out of town for the holidays to go back to Chicago and enjoy some family festivities and warmth
One thing I really have realized over the years and especially as I get older that the biggest thing that I enjoy about the holidays is being with family, and living 2000 miles away from them its really such a blessing to be able to spend time with them over the holidays, as well as anytime
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!!!
So for my last update before my trip I wanted to share all 3 tents and what is going on in them.
My 3rd tent/clone tent:
In this tent I have 1 of my tangies in later veg, along with all the clones that I will be running in my upcomming Budmaster COB grow from early veg to finish. Most likely I will have 8 strains going in the COB tent and as they get larger I may decide to flower all 8 of them, or just pick 6 and move the others to an alternate tent but time will tell with this. All of the clones are starting to take to their new soil, with the exception of the Black Diamond OG which looks a little shocked as its leaves are looking slightly abnormal color right now, but I know by the time I get back I will hopefully see new green growth, and if not I just will re-clone it when I return, since I have to take clones of my Ogiesel anyways when I get back. Other than that everything in here is looking great and my slightly older harlequin and blue dream are really starting to take off
Since these plants at this time only need to be watered about 1x per 2 weeks I will be feeling the pots and if they are light I will give them water tomorrow before my thursday morning flight, but I think most likely they will be fine until I get back as there still is quite a bit of moisture in each of the pots. Other than that things in this tent are moving along in prep for my upcomming COB grow.
My veg/Mother tent:
In this tent I have my larger mothers and vegging plants and most likely they all will be part of my upcomming Budmaster GOD series grow which I will be taking them pretty much right into flowering. I want to see if the area 51, black diamond og, and fire og are worth keeping and since I havent flowered them out yet I definitely want to get things moving so that I can decide to either keep them or minimize what strains I have on hand. I would like to get my strain count down to about 6 total so I can do a true perpetual grow again, as well as start my seed project that I have been wanting to do for about 1 year now. I also have 4 of my 5 tangies in this tent so once my current tangie grow is done I will most likely be keeping 4 for the time being and getting rid of the remaining one since I only have room for 4 right now, and this also will help me determine which pheno's are the keepers by running them again in a different light type and really showing from clone what they can do. Since I know all of these are female with no hermie traits it will be a fun grow and I don't plan on training them at all, just running them as is to see how they develop. This also will give room for my more bushy strains that I have had aging and been chopping back every few months so I should have good amount of room to do all 8 plants
The flowering/Tangie tent:
Today would make day 56 of flowering and even though later in flowering, it looks like these girls may actually have to go about 70-75 days as they still are continuing to mature and stack on weight. I haven't seen a whole lot of change in the past week with these girls as they really haven't seemed to grow much more and only the actual maturity and trichome amounts seem to be changing at this time. I will be giving them a good watering before I leave and hopefully they should make it 6 days until I return. I am hoping that by the time I get back they will have gotten further along in their maturity process as originally I was planning on hopefully chopping them down while off of work, but I think I'm probably going to have to wait until mid January to do this as they are no where near finishing yet.
As for the hermie I chopped down the other day, wow, I must say my house smells amazing right now as the fragrance from the chopped plant is almost overwhelming. Last night I removed most of the fan leaves from the buds and trimmed them up a bit, not perfect manicure but more just rid all the extra leaves so they dry better and also fit in a jar, as while I leave I will be leaving them in an open jar to slow down the drying process since when I am gone I will not be able to control humidity as easy in my current drying box, so in a jar with a small opening I have a feeling it might let less air exchange happen but still prevent any molding or any mishaps. My fear is I just don't want them to dry to fast and get that grassy smell
While removing some of the leaves yesterday I did notice that this plant had developed a few seeds, not many on the upper buds but a few on the lower buds so I removed the ones I could find and put them in a small jar and labled them so I know they came from the hermied plant. Most likely I wont keep the seeds but who knows, maybe I will just for some fun later on to see what comes of them.
Well that is all for now, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and hope everyone enjoys some good food, family, friends fun, memories and shares in the special time of year
Blessings to all!
