[Lowrider72]

Hey guys!
Been getting a bit bushy in the tent, think I need to thin them a bit, getting cramped in there.
Next water, everyone gets a haircut.

Few pics of budsites...

Week 2 Day 2

This is the reason I swapped to broad shades... Im on the bar at top of tent, with the focal shades I was seeing a lil heat stress, having the colas too close.
So I know it will just get worse.

The plants are pretty thick in there, watering and stuff will be fun....

Yup. Watering that is going to be fun.

Hey Al, Watering was OK, I did a big trim down low while I was there. Last trim in flower.

Got rid of some smaller scraggly stuff that is too low for decent light.
Scary trimming them like that, always looks like you took too much but better buds later in return.

Took a few pics of the girls new haircuts....
Short back and under sides....

Lollipopping the girls. Week 2 Day 3.

Last day of Week 2.....

A few pics of girls throwing up budsites everywhere....only at Week 3 tomorrow.
They have loved the lower A+B at 2ml/L with added Cal Mag @ 1ml/L.

Tip for Cal Mag users in Coco.
Add it to water before you add base nutes or anything, then base nutes, ph test and adjust to 5.5, then additives, thats it. Easiest way to get proper ph readings.

I still use a one drop test kit, .... Lol... never owned a ppm or ec meter or ph pen.
I Just read the plants, feed properly, and smoking joints in front of them helps too....cough, cough,.....

Pics of Budsites reaching skyward, and a tent shot.......

Peyote Critical left, behind that Gelat OG, the shorter ones are Pinapple Chunk (front) and White Widow (rear).

Tent of Icky Sticky Buds....keep em coming.......

Got some stakes for the two Peyote Criticals and two Gelat OGs, they are so big, I dont think they will support the buds in late flower, so I will give them some help and run string rungs around 4 stakes to each pot. Others are more compact and should be ok..... Maybe.. Lol

Coffee and Joint time......

[Carcass]

Man,that's the happiest bunch of plants...

 

[Lowrider72]

Cheers Carcass, they are doing good at the moment.
Wish I could get some better pics, they dont do the plants justice.

 

[Lowrider72]

Got a few pics while I staked and stringed 2 Peyotes and 2 Gelat OGs.
Gave them all a lil sup of nutes as well.
Watering is every 5-7 days at the moment.

Update time for the Icky Sticky Tent....

Week 3 Day 2.

I was wondering why the girls were not showing a N deficiency, seen as I knocked 1/3 of its A+B out.... Its the Cal Mag. Its all Nitrogen with a bit of Iron and stuff, but basically 5.2:0:0 NPK
.
So I use less nutes, but get roughly the same N with Cal Mag added. Buds look great with more calcium. Win win.

Some pics for the text impared.......

Week 3 Day 2

All plants are now bound or staked or both. Should get some good buds, watering staying around every 5-7 days.
Feeding PH 5.5, letting it rise through range and run off is around 6.5 when measured.
Should get some decent chunky colas this grow.

Off for a Phatty and a Coffee......

Thats all for now, smoked a G13 and Peyote Critical joint.....ripped.... Lol.

Enjoy!

 

[Lowrider72]

Went on Watering and small trim epic... 3 hours...... Lol
Mostly draining time....
Got 9 plants in 20L pots and room outside tent to drain 4 at a time.
Means much shuffling, and general fart arsing around.
Back to 9L buckets next time, heaps easier to keep them smaller and yield 1.3g per watt easily.... I can see this only going the same weight or slightly more.

We are at Week 4 Day 3......
Few snap shots...

Pineapple Chunk.

Peyote Critical.

White Widow.

Peyote Critical budding up.

White Widow bud.

Gelat OG bud.

Pineapple Chunk colas ready to beef up.

Thats all for now, Joint time....

 

[N420]

Plants look great lowie. They are really packing on the frost should be another great yield out of your tent. Have a good one bro.

 

[Carcass]

Looking good,LR-
Man,If I had to shuffle those big pots around,I wouldn't be able
to stand up straight for a week-your plants sure love em though!
I've got about an hour worth of trimming on my agenda today,too-I've put it off long enough...

Cheers N420,
Im still battling my way through the last buds....lol.
Cured now and VERY tasty. Pineapple Chunk pheno is more cheese than pineapple, so lose a bit of pineapple taste, but still brilliant smoko. Rest Im testing daily for quality.... Cough.....

Heya Carcass,
Yeah pots are pretty heavy. Only 7 more weeks..... Lol. I use wheeledpot movers now, and try to lift as little as possible.
Back has felt better. Back to buckets next grow. You can see in the trimmed lowers that the height isnt needed because the punch is in that top 2ft with CMH.
To me its a waste of growing energy.
They should finish up nice but Im not expecting Huge numbers from them.
Maybe a few nice foot long colas.

Happy trimming Mate.

Week 5 -Day 4 of flower.
Roll on Big Buds.... Hehe.

Have added PK to plants now, fed each plant 2-3 litres every second day. Should go nuts soon.

I need to flush next feed before adding the flower finisher or its too hard on the plants. So next feed is a big pain.

I got a couple of tent shots but its pretty cramped in there........

The pinapple Chunk is one gorgeous plant love the colors on her. Keep up the good work lowie.

 

[Alafornia]

You do beautiful work, LR72.

cheers N420, I have a soft spot for Pineapple Chunk, great smoko.
First time with this Indica leaning one, usually got the Sativa leaning pheno.
Bigger buds and more Pineapple taste.
This pheno is compact and more cheese.

You do beautiful work, LR72.

Awww Shucks Al. Make a grower blush.
Trust me, its mostly neglect and laziness with splashes of work here and there.

Plants are going well, got to flush the pk 13-14 out so they can eat some flower finisher soon. Pics when I flush.

LR.

 

[Lowrider72]

Flush!
Done.

Hey all, got into the tent , had to do some more tying as buds are getting too heavy for the branches. A bit better now I had a play with them but branches are too soft to hold them up. I put extra rung of string at top of poles in pots to hold peyote critical up, the main , lanky offender.

Grabbed a few shots while I was flushing, sorry if they arent great, was more concerned with propping up fallen buds.
