I started Violet on Remo nutrients yesterday. I call it the Remo 10-4 mix, because in the order I add the nutrients I add 10-4-10-4-10-4ml/g. Here is the results:

I'll be giving her this mix all the way through flower, or as long as she's liking it!

Right now Violet is still looking fantastic. The only bugs she has are ladybugs, I don't see any mite damage on her at all. I'm hoping the SNS-209 will keep her clean, along with getting Julie out of the tent soon.

Today her outer nodes looked pretty good, just some inner branches that were getting a bit tall. So I supercropped a handful of branches in the middle. They were really soft and pliable. Sure, they'll probably be back up by tomorrow, but if it pauses them for a day or two that's all I need. She's growing quickly now, and it looks like she might almost be ready to start flowering! Any day now...

Like a freakin' watercolor painting that first pic!
Yes! I kept looking at it but couldn't put my finger how to describe it. :Rasta:
I just love the colors in that picture. They contrast really well, and yet they go together too.
And still a lot of clear in some of those shots, so I wonder if you'd be thinking this weekend if it was green from top to bottom. Of course, "getting sick of looking at it" is a perfectly reasonable reason to chop in my book. :)
All else being equal, I'd leave her in for another week or two and let those trics get nice and ripe. The main factor isn't the brown leaves, it's the spider mites; I want to get her out of the tent before she needs to be sprayed again, and before she's touching Violet. So, she'll be coming out of the tent this weekend, then I'll give the tent another good cleaning. I might even spray Violet again, especially since she hasn't started flowering yet. Damned mites...
 
CarCanopies 4 lyf!
It sure does make for some large yields and beautiful plants. Now if I could just stop snapping off limbs ;(

Medium: 5G SIP Bucket with FFHF & Dynomyco
Nutrients: Remo Nutrients
Pests: Fungus Gnats, Spider Mites​

Julie's days are just about up. I took more tric shots and it looks like she's in the window.







I got rid of some leaves today, concentrating on any with mite damage. There were a lot more than I had hoped. I also removed anything that just pulled off, mostly from down lower. I'll save the rest for harvest. She really has come beautiful buds, lots of purple and pink. Oh, lots of trics too ;)



I may start taking her down tonight, but she will definitely be hanging in the drying closet by tomorrow night. I'll take her down branch-by-branch, removing the big fans and anything without trichomes. Then we'll wash each branch before hanging them to drip dry for an hour or two. Then everyone gets hung on hangers in the closet.

Violet has moved into high gear. I filled her res yesterday, and today she took another 3.3 liters! Her growth in the last four days really shows how quickly they move at this stage.

She's getting to be such a big girl and she'll get the entire tent to herself starting this weekend. That will give me a bit more room to spread her out if needed. She'll get two AeroLights for a while too. She'll also probably get sprayed really well with SNS-217c. Day# 40 from seed and still no flowers... any day now?

Julie (Herbies Seeds Girl Scout Cookies Auto)
** HARVEST DAY **

Date: 9/2/23 Day# 95 Fday# 60
Medium: 5G SIP Bucket with FFHF & Dynomyco
Nutrients: Remo Nutrients
Pests: Fungus Gnats, Spider Mites​

Saturday morning we harvested Julie. I hadn't watered her since Monday, so her bucket was pretty light.
Screenshot_20230902_204433_Sheets.jpg


Taking her out of the tent, she was actually top-heavy with all her sagging buds. She barely fit through the doors to get upstairs.




We broke her down one branch at a time. Each branch got most fans removed, including any brown leaves. Anything coated in trichomes stayed on. She didn't have the largest buds, but there were a LOT of them. They were really pretty, too, with lots of pink and purple.

As each was cleaned up I laid them out on the counter. When they were all cleaned I filled three buckets with water. I added 1/2c lemon juice and baking soda to the first. Each bucket got an airstone, too. All of the buds got at least 15 seconds in each bucket with a little agitation. Then they got hung up to drip dry for a couple of hours. Within a couple of hours they were moved to the drying closet.



The buds will stay in the closet for two weeks. They smell so incredible I can't wait to see how they taste.

With Julie out now Violet has the whole tent to herself. She's going through 4L of nutrients every day now and getting big and bushy!



Yesterday I gave her another cleaning. I removed more suckers and a lot of growth from the bottom and middle. I updated the LST a little to open up the middle. I like to be able to see the rocks from the above again.



Then she got a thorough spraying with SNS-217C. I found a couple of spots on her and decided to douse her while she's still not in flower. I started from underneath, getting the undersides of everything. Then I finished from up top soaking her really well.


With the basement humidity in the 40s and all the fans in the tent, she was completely dry within 10 minutes. Violet has had a full 6 weeks of veg and it shows! She looks like she could start flowering any day now ... any day now...

Nice takedown BudMan! And now for the Violet Show! :Rasta:
 
Nice takedown BudMan!
Thanks GDB. She fought through the fungus gnats, spider mites, and some nute issues and came out the other side smelling fantastic!
And now for the Violet Show! :Rasta:
She's loving both lights. I filled her res with 4L of nutes yesterday afternoon around 7pm, and she took 3 more liters this morning at 10am. And she looks like she might be ready to flower... almost... any day ;)

It's almost like way back in the day, going to a double-feature at the movie theater! :)
 
Congratulations on that harvest! So many branches all laid out nice and neat on the counter you would never know there was a single issue during the grow. I particularly liked that she put on jester shoes for harvest day:

Thanks Shed. There were a lot of pretty buds, they were pretty small though. I'll get my next chance with Violet, though...
And Violet is really cooperating going 6 weeks without flowering!
Yea she is. I had to feed her twice yesterday, 4L in the morning and 2L in the afternoon. She's making a push...
 
Beautiful buds, you really work magic with those autos big dog!
Thanks RSR. I've got veg nailed, now I need to keep up with these huge ladies in flower.
 
Co grats on that sugary harvest!
Thanks Tim. It's funny, I didn't notice how good she smelled until the day after she was harvested. I went in the basement and it smelled like... basement. Very disappointing.

Nutrients: Remo Nutrients​

Violet has really been drinking a lot lately. I even fed her twice yesterday, 3L in the morning and 2L in the evening.
Violet Tracker.png
Well, she didn't quite drink all of that. This morning there was 500ml of nutrients in the tray under her. I'm using an old bucket on her that has other holes in it that were taped up, I'm hoping that's all that's leaking. I re-taped the holes and hopefully that'll fix it. I'll get a new bucket after this grow ;) She hasn't leaked that much, though, so she really is drinking over a gallon every day!

She still looks fantastic and blemish-free. She's really enjoying having both AeroLights and has shot up a couple of inches in the last few days. She's already 28" wide, which is the limit for the tent. From now on she's growing up, not out. I'm just using the LST and some selective super-cropping to try to maintain as even a canopy as possible.




So now I really need her to start flower. Luckily, she really looks like she's finally just about ready. Would you call this the first day of flower? Maybe one more day...





Pinky (Herbies Seeds Bubblegum Auto)

Medium: EZ-Gro plug in Vivosun starter dome
Other Equipment: Vivosun heat mat & controller​

Last Friday, when I decided to take Julie out of the tent, I also planted a new seed. As usual, it went straight into a moistened plug and into a Vivosun starter tray with dome. That went on my Vivosun heat mat set to 76f. This morning, she was coming up.

This is my first helmet head in a while. I noticed that the hole in this plug was wider than normal. Since the shell normally gets scraped off when the seedling comes up from the soil, the larger hole would explain why this one didn't. Next time I'll throw away the defective plugs. Or poke a hole in the bottom and use that. This time, though, I made sure the seed head was nice and moist for a couple of hours. Then, a little nudge lifting up on the underside of the seed head pushed it right off with no resistance.

An hour later and she's opening up for the light. Say hello to Pinky!
