Northern Lights: Already In Progress

[roaring lion]

yo GHempster,

looking good from across the country brother...the GDP is seemingly still pushing out some fresh pistils from a few nooks and crannies, looking quite impressive. i see some fresh white hairs mingled in with the beautiful dense orange hairs.

the sour diesel is still looking fairly aggressive on pushing out fresh white hairs from the photos. i'd say you are well in the know on what will be best for these ladies. if these were someone else's plants, what would you suggest?

 

[GHempster]

Thanks @roaring lion Oh I am waiting it out for sure.

OUTDOOR UPDATE : August 31 2019

- fan going 24Hr and still lost 2 bud sites to mold, hopefully caught all of it. Inspecting plants multiple times per day and going thru every limb and bud site

Thanks @DonkeyDick and @stoneotter . They are shaping up nicely. I am researching new lights right now, trying to raise the efficacy of the grow in order to get some larger colas. But I must say for cheap lights these ones are not too shabby.

For the price / quality I cannot seem to find anything that can touch the Mars Hydro. I am looking mainly at efficacy rating and price.

I can't find a better trade. Mars is going to corner the market like this.

SD Harvest Day Sept 3 2019

- Had to harvest SD as under medicated me is not good for my wife or the rest of the world
So chopped her down with no extended dark period just because of necessity.

Plan was to take pics of each limb which went well until the joint finished and I forgot two sets and also never took pics of the four short stems 2nd to fourth nodes. but did get the top cola lol.

Here is right before chop, had to be held up she could not hold her own weight

SD Harvest Day (part 2) Sept 3 2019

- the 2nd node set up from bottom the very bottom two stems previously removed for testing



- the third node set up from bottom


- the fourth node up from bottom ( first of the larger colas close-up below)



- here I missed the fifth node up from bottom which was the fourth from top

- the sixth node set up from bottom and the third node set from top



- The seventh node set

-The eighth node set (took for fast dry)

-didn't take pics of ninth node set (took for fast dry)

and...….

SD Harvest Day (part 3) Sept 3 2019

THE TOP COLA

- into drying box and darkness she goes she over filled the box. I am so bad at guessing amount while still on plant.


- inspected roots and went looking for a name tag from original grower but only found some remnants of a plastic tag. I guess the plant ate it.

- roots were full but not root bound at all tap root went all the way down and all was still really healthy.

- a couple water spots left on fabric pot along with a lil bit of surface mold ( I will only use again on flowers outside no medicine )

- I like the re-useability of the food safe plastic containers --- just an observation

beauty way to go!

what a show! loving the last blast of white hairs pushing out all over those flowers G. seriously well done, what a day!

 

[GHempster]

Thanks @roaring lion the buds are super dense and heavy. I was surprised at how much was there. I will post final weight when dried.

OUTDOOR UPDATE : Sept 1 2019 to Sept 3 2019 ( let's just bounce around the calender )

- 1 day build for girls as storm coming on starting Sept 2 in afternoon
- had frame built Sept 1 and in morning of the 2nd wraooed in plastic, started to rain just as I finished
- removed 2 moldy budsites on mom
- removed 6 moldy budsites on mom on Sept 3
- I don't think she is gonna make it so disappointing. This will be final outdoor grow for me, it is just not worth it

I am crossing my fingers but it doesn't look good so sad I was so pumped up about her.

Yes DD that last few days have been great the SD is very potent. I can medicate fewer times per day with her. Can't wait to see what the final weight is.

Great journal @GHempster !! What a journey, still reading a lot, but I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and reasoning regarding flowering and ripeness. Didn’t read even half the journal yet but still going through it! Thanks!
