Lowrider72 Grows Again! Super Skunk, Pineapple Express & Mangolicious

[Lowrider72]

Nice doodad, LR!-
@Grand Daddy Black has used one of those (or similar) for awhile now...
Does a good job, and saves a bunch of time in the process..
I'd get one if I grew more plants, but it's hard to justify the expense at only 3 (or 4) plants per year...

Cheers Carcass, Anything that makes my job easier can't be too bad. I like the blades for wet trimming and the rods for dry trimming.
I like to hand trim, gives a nice finish, but 2 day Vs 3-4 hours...... Makes my back happy.

Hey Aussie question…

Do you think the heat affects the summer yield? I seem to yield so much more in winter.

Oh and fun-cee on the trimmer (say fun-cee out loud it’s like posh talk fancy)

G'day Pineapple ,
Yeah mate, the heat means more stretch, they drink more and lower yields at harvest, but I was just seeing how early I could start. Cheeky...hehe.
Root temps are the most important. In hotter weather... as long as the root ball is wet and cool, you will be amazed what temps they can actually handle up top, l don't trim the lower fan leaves out in hot conditions, just to shade the Coco and keep root temps down.
In my opinion Week 6 until harvest is the most critical time. That's when high temps are a definate No No.
I'm a week and a half from Week 6, by then the temps should settle down and might see some decent buds from them.....fingers crossed.

I’ll wear that pineapple with pride!

I’ve been inside that pineapple, not even joking.

Thanks for that.

It’s been hot here, and I’m 3 weeks from harvest and my yields have been less than impressive. Bring on the cooler months.

Good stuff.
Don't worry, soon it will cool down mate.

Ok, watered all the girls tonight and temps lights on are around 25-27C, that's better than 30C+.

Tent #1 is 27 days into flower, so a week away from the half way point.
Got there first dose of Bud XL, so things will get interesting from here on.....

Tent#2 is starting to get some flowers going now, they are 17 days into flower.....

The Munted Mango are being a pain still but the Mother's are doing real good.

That's all for now.

Super Skunk.....

Pineapple Express.....

And Mango hiding up the back.....

Just showing a bit of colour.

Tent #2's girls are at Day 26 , so mid week 4......

Lol. Hey Pineapple ,
That's funny as......

Because you went to soo much effort, you get VIP seats for the flower show. Complimentary Jack and Dry and a pre rolled ........ Welcome to Flower dome..... 2 photoperiods enter, only one bud leaves........

Spreading the love...... Tent #1 buds, 2 days after PK........

That's just lots of LST to form a canopy.

Continued Tent #2 next post......

 

[Lowrider72]

......... Tent #2 flower show......2 weeks behind the first.....

And my slowly recovering Mangoes and Mums hibernating......

Just testing out my camera, and as a Thank you to 420 growers out there.

Still 6-8 weeks flowering to go.
Next week Tent #1 will be flushed to flush out the PK in the Coco and then we smash those buds until final flush.

Let the good times roll........ let's pump out some buds.....

O

Bud pics..... Tent #1.......

Super Skunk....getting Super......

Pineapple Express foreground and Mango hiding in the rear....

Overall shot and some Pineapple buds, covered in trichomes......

Those Girls are being flushed with straight water for 3-5 days before we hit the top shooter, then buds will get hectic over the last 4 weeks.

Tent #2 is budding along nicely, still two weeks behind Tent #1 , so still 6 weeks of Flowering to go.....

That's about it for now. Second Tent will get PK soon, and then into the heavy end.

Impressed with the Pineapple Express, it grows really well, and buds look lovely.
Super Skunk is the ol realisable, nothing stops it and it's easy to grow.
Mango, well let's say the smoke better be legendary, because as a plant to grow, it is very touchy....too touchy.
So looks like the future grows will be Pineapple Express and Super Skunk, hardy, grow fast and decent buds for the plant size.

Ok , enough dribble, where's that joint.....

Grow Well!

Oh and Happy Jesus Zombie Day!

Lol. Hey , you calling my plants pedos? Hahaha.
Jeebus Zombie Day.....sounds like me with long hair and a hangover......

Glad you like the grow.
Now we got 4 weeks of Top Shooter, two at half strength and two at full strength.
That's when they will pack on the flowers.
Then it's about 3-5 days flush and ready to trim and dry......
The top shooter is a flower enhancer, it promotes new bud growth, but the rated dosages for it are the MAX you should use, it is very hard on the plants, they need to be in good condition after the PK is flushed. or they will suffer.
You can see that 1/2 my plants height is wasted due to stretch, trying to get them going in the heat. That's why I stick to winter grows.
So you are right Trala, the heat effects yield, can be up to 50% less than a cooler grow.

You say you flower like a fucktard, maybe I can help you there.
Sorry I haven't been doing the rounds, been a bit busy here.

Better get back to choring.....

I have a history of growing veg plants like a viking, then fucking em at flower.

My latest two big flower girls look okay actually. I just put some video up in the Tent of Debauchery if you want to have a squiz. I have 4 in the Bloom Room. My temps have dropped to around 25, and the humidity was 43% yesterday, so perfect bud weather considering I’ve been 33 and 80% humidity.

Update time!

Ok, Tent #1 is at Week 7 , around Day 60 and 2 days since the flower enhancer was added at 1/2 strength, which they get for two weeks, then two weeks at full dose, followed by 5 days of flushing and we are done.
It's a mess, buds falling everywhere, will get some twine and fix it all up, but here's the pics.....

Tent #1......

Now onto Tent #2.......

And Mango is off the menu.... Weak, too weak for my garden.......

That's all for now, better rope be some buds.....

Grow Well!

[Lowrider72]

Ok, because I had buds falling everywhere I spent a couple of hours giving the ladies some bondage.
Now they mostly point up.....lol.

Tent #1.....

Tent #2 bondage, was a REAL fallen over mess, so required extra hangers etc.....

That's all for now, buds are getting real heavy.

Grow Well!
