Thanks Lew. The end of the flowering stretch is where I'll know if I've done it right. The strain choice has helped with the majority being indica hybrids or pure indicas. There is one sativa hybrid in there though but the breeder says that it's a short early flowering variety so it should be ok. I would definitely recommend the Wilma systems especially for people who grow clones of the same strain. I'm playing with fire a little bit but I feel confident enough. I don't think that I'd recommend it to new growers though. How are you my friend? :)

Some good picking so far then. I bet the smell when you’ve got 10 different strains brewing is lovely. Got a soft spot for the ww x gg#4 but they all look very nice.
 
Hiya there Flora, I must say you're undertaking quite the grow... Can't wait to see how it turns out! :D
I have good idea but there is always plenty of room for things to go wrong. I have a good feeling about this grow though. Nice journal by the way :)

Lol, it can be a bit offensive. For me I think its the Cheese Dog. The Darkstar sounds pretty interesting as well. I grew the gg#4 x cookie wreck by the same breeder and it was fire so I have high expectations for that one :)
 
Flowering Day 6
Ladies are looking good so far. We're nearly at the end of the first week of flower and the leaves are now starting to touch on the different plants. I normally do a massive defol session around Day 21-30 but with these I may have to strategically remove some earlier on depending on how crowded it gets in there. I love the big defol session though. The plants look so naked after that it scares me lol.
Happy growing all :)

Flowering Day 8
Hey 420! Well it has been a few days, just been sorting out some of my other grows but I'm back with some pics! First off I'd like to mention that the plants are bushy! I know that none of you are stupid and can see that from the pics but under those leaves that are lying across the top of the plants it's really crowded. I'm hoping for them to open up a bit after a little more stretch. I don't think that it's a problem yet but it's something to keep an eye on. There are puddles forming on some of the leaves so I need to check that daily. They're continuing to fill the tent nicely but some are a little slow and one in particular is exploding. Critical Orange Punch may need some sort of treatment as she just keeps getting bigger and bigger leaving her sisters to stare up at her in amazement! For the end of the first week of flower I'm happy with their. In 2 weeks they will be getting a massive haircut and I think that they'll benefit greatly from this. Happy growing you fools :)

Your plants look happy. Well done. Do you defoliate? What size pots are you running? What is that cool black thing holding all the pots?
:rollit:
Answers in order of questions asked....
Yes, defoliation will soon be necessary
I'm currently using 3ltr square fabric pots
The cool black thing is a Wilma resirculating system
Thanks BobbyZ

Flowering Day 11
The ladies are looking good. They're filling the tent well and are still looking very healthy. They are feeding at full strength but still only on veg nutes. I didn't have time this evening but tomorrow I'll check for signs of flowering. The PH is 5.7 and the temps of the the tent when the lights are on about 24C to 27C. Next weekend I'll be doing a defoliation session and we'll get to see the plants for what they really are. They're going to looks strange after seeing them so bushy. Happy growing everyone :)

Flowering Day 11
Filling up nicely. Today I added some flowering nutes. I put 10lt of full strength flowering nutrients into the res that already contained about 30lt of full strength veg solution. This has brought the PPM up to 785 which is good for this stage of the grow. I'll slowly add flowering nutes over the next few weeks. By week 3 they should only be feeding on flower nutes. Hope you've all had a great day have a great weekend! Happy growing :)

  • Efficiency PPFD/Watt: 2.0 µmols/watt
  • Total PPF: 470 µmols/sec
  • Lumens: 34,430
  • Efficiency lumens/watt: 160
