Weekly update time. I had fun playing with the new camera, lots of photos. Day 42 of flower.
We'll start with the greener Chitral pheno since it was the first out of the tent. With two weeks or so to go there are a bazillion bud sites but nothing is bulky. What is there is very dense. I'm fairly certain that the two Chitrals are going to go out in the greenhouse next week to finish off and make more room in the tent for the Golden Lemons and Panama. I have an insulated cover I can put over the greenhouse at night and an electric heater I can use to prevent a freeze disaster. It depends on the long range weather forecast. If I can do it I expect to see some serious purple. This one is not as purple or as much of an aromatic berry bomb as the wonky one but is still nice fruity smoke that is quite "up" for an all indica. I gave her a twine belt today to pull the outer branches towards the middle.
Next out of the tent is the ACE Panama. At roughly half-way through flowering I reckon that this one will be a serious contender in the March POTM contest. It's just starting to swell, is super frosty, and very, very happy. It loves the close screen SCRoG treatment. I want to put four of these in porta-SCRoGs somethime soon and fill the tent with 'em.
Wonky Chitral is still.... Ugly. Clawing like crazy. Just not right... On the upside it is laying down a purple cloaking sea of trichomes and the aroma is off the charts berry bomb! I love the effect and taste of this pheno. I mentioned in GT's journal a while back that while the Chitral is an all indica landrace is is not a "take two tokes and fall asleep" strain at all. It's one of the backbone strains of the Dark Devil auto that is reputed to have a "soaring sativa" high. The reveg clones have not done so well in the porta-SCRoGs but I'm going to be glad to resuply!
Lastly we have the Golden Lemons. Plantzilla. I added a bunch of vertical supports today. My gut tells me that this one would be better off with an aggressive topping agenda and no screen training. It is the least frosty of the bunch but is packing on the most weight. It is also the thirstiest and hungriest plant of the lot. It looks like it's had significantly more defol than the others, but it hasn't. This pheno has a low leaf to calyx ratio and will be a joy to trim. I'm seeing some signs of underfeeding so it got 2 tsp/gallon of 2-3-1 fishy ferts today and 1 tsp of SNS 604B bloom booster (twice what the others got for their weekly treat.)

That Panama is just nuts for sure. Everything in your tent is just beautiful.
Speaking of that Golden Lemon and leafage, how much defol do you do on your girls? I would be very curious your thoughts on that subject.

Man I wish I could just rub the top of your head or something so that growing mojo would rub off on me.... Those buds are absolutely amazing... Each and every one of them....
Beautiful update PeeJay..
You took the Porta-scrog to a whole new level my friend.

I don't have any set defol protocol Bob. I cleaned things out down low a couple of weeks ago. Up top I pull blocking leaves at random when I look at the plants if the leaves are blocking lower bud sites. I'm not a fan of doing a bunch of defol all at once.
Wonderful update. New camera, you say? I'm going back to read up.
Each one of those tops looks like a beautiful budding rose with different colors. Love it!
How does it smell when you open that tent?

It smells... Different. In a big way and not a bad way. I tend to grow and medicate with Afgan genetic based weed; Mazar-i-Sharif crosses x other kushes or skunks. They are all dank, pungent, skunk, earth. None of these current strains is like that. They are all fruity. Berry, tropicals, citrus, floral. My first impression when I open the tent is "something is wrong." My sniffer is pretty tuned in from all the years watching kitchens... It doesn't smell "normal." I'm not used to the sweet floral blast yet.

New camera is fun. Here are a couple of pictures of a Sage 'n Sour nug from last summers greenhouse grow. The pictures are from the same bracket and cropped close to the same. This pot rattles my cage too much. It makes me nervous. Others seem to like it though.
The nug is sitting on a grinder and the grinder is sitting on light blue card stock. I took the pictures in the diffused light of the greenhouse.
I'm lusting after a dedicated macro lens... Rats! I'm broke.
This is what it looked like while it was growing.

Stunning pics! The camera is obviously great, but the artistry is what makes me want to take them out back and do unspeakable things to them.

Yess.....^^
Hey PeeJay, hanging out @ Smokey's place brought me here to check things out.
All caught up now.
OMG, if this journal doesn't make ya wanna immediately go rig up a screen for a SCROG, I suspect nothing will.
Top notch stuff here. I will be referencing here in the future for sure man.
I hope you don't mind I tag along, Cheffie.
