I'm safe! And not too far away
Good to hear from you.

Hey 420. Time just won't stop moving on so I'd best do an update and give the low down on the grow room.
We have plenty of flowers at the moment just ticking along. It is my least favourite time of the year for growing but it hasn't been too bad recently. I have high anxieties regarding the room at the moment though as it is pretty packed and is like plate spinning again. Regardless of how I feel, most things are going well. Here's where we are at now.
First up is the small (60x80) Gorilla tent with the 100w lighting....
We have a good looking bunch here. I'm not sure what it is about this environment but it always makes really frosty plants. I thought that it must be the lighting but I have used a few different lights and usually end up with the same results which is smaller but more frosty flowers. Maybe it's just me or that it's just a coincidence. Anyway, all of these are in flowering day 30.
Birthday Cake....
Double D's....
Silver Bubble....

Over in the other Gorilla tent (120x60) the stretching problem is finally over. I had to super-crop the Orangesicle in order to get her to fit but she's in there. Looks ridiculous but she's there lol. The Barney's Wedding Cake is a beast and has some nice stacks already. The problem with this tent though is that there is just too much plant. Both of the them are too big really but I can't bring myself to chop them up much more. Maybe another heavy defol but those leaves are Cake in frost already. What to do?!?!
Here is the duet....
I'm going to get some serious trim for hash from this one lol.

Finally we have some pics of the final plants from this journal. Firstly we have a Purple Urkle from @Weed Seeds Express. There is another of those on the way....
Next we have some regs from a friend. I've put 4 in each pot and can see most of them showing some activity. I'll grow these in the pots and separate then at a later date. I'm only looking for one female of each strain which are. Black Banana X Triangle Kush, BBTK X Sunset Sherbet, BBTK X Highbite and BBTK X WiFi OG.
Sounds interesting. Here are a few of the seedlings waking up....
And with these I received my first ever twin. I've never had one of these before. This is a BBTK X Sunset Sherbet....
Happy growing everyone!

Looks marvelous over here Prof! Salve bin?
I would definitely defol that tent before you end up with a bad surprise. 
I always assumed this was your favourite time of year for growing since you only tend to post photos taken during flowering. Why isn't it your favourite?
Birthday Cake....
Double D's....
Silver Bubble....
Other than that, I think you could give Brett Blaze a run for his money on these flower photos. You definitely have a talent. I'm hoping to learn how to take better photos at some point.

Thanks Boo.
I think you are probably right. I can't believe that the Orangesicle hasn't toppled yet. It's 160cm tall lol. Removing that first load of leaves opened up the plant, providing light and airflow but it also removed a lot of weight which is why I think we're still standing.Salve bin?
Hey HG. Pretty much mean the UK's late summer and autumn period. It's hot, humid and raining and this is the time of year when I'm most likely to lose a good slice of the crop to botrytis. Last year wasn't too bad and I caught it early but the year before was a disaster. I lost huge flowers which were rotten to the core.
Why thank you. My first piece of advice for good pics is getting a good camera. I really need a new one as mine are incredibly temperamental. The stabilization is broken in the digi which means that even the slightest wobble will cause the picture to vibrate.
The camera phone is abysmal and is only good for pics taken far away.
Lighting is probably the lost important thing after the camera itself. Thankfully our grow tents can make quite good little studio's.
Then of course it's practice. I must have taken a 100,000 pics for 420 now but obviously not posted them all. You might not have been so impressed had I lol.
Moving, eh?
Sounds super fun.lol
It will be good for the kids though from the sounds of it. Hope it goes well for you. I know what a headache moving can be.
The twinsies shot has some PhotM potential. Did you get any closer pics?

Looking fruitful, Professor.

Oh yes, the joys of moving lol. Thankfully it's not too far away and it's right by the seaside which I know you would like.
That was the only pic I got of them before the surgery. You'll be happy to know that at 10:46 this morning they were separated successfully. It was a case of double helmet head!
I'm not sure if they're joined at the root or not but it doesn't look like it to me.
Lol. Cheers GDB.Looking fruitful, Professor.

And to think that I thought we could have gotten away with a third in there. Classic naivety!
I remember. Just imagine what that would look like now!
Okay Professor, you win the CTOTM* contest hands down!
Excellent frost in those pics so I can see why you're hard pressed to trim, but losing some sugar is better than losing some buds.

Carnage!!!I remember. Just imagine what that would look like now!
You'll never guess what happened. We ended up with botrytis lol. The thing is that it didn't develop where yourself and I thought that it would. It turned up on the Birthday Cake in the smaller and considerably less crowded tent. It's bad though.
Time for my entry into MNotM (Mouldy Nug of the Month)....
It gets better....
How does something like this sneak up on us lol....
This flower went too....
And another....
That leaves me with only a couple of the main tops left lol. This plant hates humidity!
The Double D's and Lemon Bubble seem ok at the moment but I'm watching like a hawk. The plants in the crammed tent are still going though I did find a tiny bit of mould but it was caused by pooling water on a leaf.
I really want this grow to be over lol.
I have another sponsored thread that has just started which is demonstrating the XS1000 using the regs I got from a friend.
Welcome To The Jungle
Welcome to the (soon-to-be) Jungle Hey 420 community and everyone else who may be tuning in. Ace Ventura delivered this package the other day so I thought I'd best check the light before starting this journal which is why we will start here with the unboxing. The light arrived undamaged. That...

I thought about closing this journal down but instead I will run the Weedseedexpress Purple Urkle's as the final plants before closing down the grow room. Then I'll be having the first break in growing for 5 years while we move home. That'll be weird. I'm sure it won't be long before we're back up and running again. This time though I won't have any wolves to cater for so we will be able to focus on detailed journalling of smaller rounds of plants.
I'll be back later with a full update of the stuffed tent and what's left in the smaller tent. For now though, here is a teaser. These are from the other day....
Happy growing everyone!

Sorry to hear about the mold Prof, I’m glad you could salvage some good tops. I’m excited and relieved for you to not have to grow for the wolves anymore (soon!) I’d imagine it will be a big load off your plate.
Congrats on the new journal, I’ll pop over there now!

Sorry about the mould, Prof. We found some on one of our outdoor plants this morning. Fortunately, ours was just the bottom of one bud and has now been removed.
Good luck with the upcoming move. I have no idea who "the wolves" are but I'm happy you won't have to deal with them any longer.
I'm headed over to your new journal now. If you're moving soon, why are you starting a new grow/journal?

Hey HH! I expected to get hit during this grow at some point but this plant took me by surprise. We're still some time off from harvest yet so I'm not sure what we'll be left with by then.
The wolves will miss me when they realise that they have to grow their own bud from now on lol. Well, from Christmas onwards.
Hey HG! It's that mouldy time of year again I'm afraid. I literally get hit every year with it. Last year was the Tashkurghan and some of the other plants in that round. Then the year before it was the Barney's Farm grow. That was a bad one. I'm a little more than anxious about this packed out tent which we have at the moment. The Barney's Wedding Cake has big buds which I feel I may never get to use.
The wolves are my in-laws lol. They acquired the nickname because they pretty much use me to grow their cannabis but are surprisingly unappreciative and even go as far as to punish and even threaten me if I do what they would consider to be a bad job. So fuck em.
I'm starting a new thread and continuing this one as we won't be moving until January which is enough time to fill some jars for said move.
Mold? I think it's caused by August Bank Holiday. 
January can't come soon enough.
Not sure about the Lemon Bubble but Double D's often get damp in the crease under the big buds, so good to keep an eye out.
You mean "in 5 years" yes? We would miss you terribly if you took a break from growing for 5 years!
January can't come soon enough.
