RQS Critical x2: Photos In Veg 90 Days, Just Flipped

[dick23rk]

Very nice harvest bud! Them nugs sure do have some bag appeal.

I would recommend getting yourself some big Mason jars and curing that way. Your bud will still dry out in the plastic bags over time, they are never fully sealed. Sealed jars are the way to go if you can get a few. Anything you save to smoke should go in those. Will also help the cure better.
The Integra boost packs will certainly help though, great job!

 

[Jon]

hey @Jon thanks.
Hope the worlds spinning the right way for you matey.
Nope on the identically weighed baggies just stuffed in
Interger boost packs they are, anti smelly zip bags and a little cure pack.as below.

I ran out of zip bags and used baggies for what was left..
Still couldn’t tell you what it weighs.. sucks my soul out weighing early, and watching it shrivel to about 20/30%.
when it’s cured for a while I’ll trim it up again. For making the butter, an oil I’m tempted to just throw it in the slow cooker wet for a a whole day, what y recon?
It’s only a few oz getting cured to smoke the rest is getting eaten.
made a cake or 2 and a load of butter out of the trim from the last nl. It was brilliant. So that’s going to be were the majority for this lot goes.
Peace to ya

Ah. That's good. I was afraid you were just tossing it in baggies, which is a losing proposition. Good work, man.

Thank you very much for all the time @dick23rk .
Seen these recently .. thought I’d give em a try.
Got a good few jars here as well. Got these bags so I can use the jars to keep all my healthy beans and pulses in. New healthy diet
Give it 6 months an I’m sure I’ll rather eat a sausage and crock , than any more vinegary salads and feckin beans.
Still got my peepers on the grow matey, looking superb.
sincere thanks
Peace an buds to ya

 

[dick23rk]

No problem bud.
Just didn't want to see you end up with some dusty buds, keep an eye on them if in a dry place is all.
Have a good day, im off to work for a bit.

 

[Bud Love]

Bags had to go.. turns out it’s way too much effort burping em.

Day 26 Diesel 1
Gave this girl a haircut and a bit of LST ing.
Trying to follow @dick23rk ‘s ocd training as best I can with 10 branches instead of 4.. trying to run before I can walk. But feck it.. they’re 7 gal pots an a lot of info out there leans towards no topping on the autos, but hey .. in for a penny.
I’ve topped her and took out the first nodes on the bottom 2 branches.
Before

She was looking good and healthy at this point
See how she responds to the treatment

I’ve used a similar garden wire to what’s been used by @dick23rk for his LST.

Not as neatly though

there’s no sign of any pistols yet.
Peace to y’all

Diesel 2. Day 19/20 ish..
Now... this girl had a different mix for a medium. And I’m thinking already there’s a difference in the look of the new growth.
My first thought was that there looked to be a little tip burn on all the new growth.. at first , I thought it was the extra nuts in the medium.. but as time has gone on, and the other ladies are getting closer to the light.. there appears to be the same prob arising on the new growth on the other girls.. So may be light intensity ? Any ideas perps

not looking quite so perky ax 1.

Nice job man. I was afraid to do that with any of the autos in my auto tent cuz it's my first try and I was scairt! But I did LST the hell out of them with bending and shaping, and it seems to have worked out well. I can't wait to see how this plant here responds to your topping. Day 26! That's late! You got big balls man, I appreciate the hell out of that! I had considered doing it on like Day 15-18, but I had four different strains and they were all growing so fast I just said screw the topping and made bushes. You'll have FAT bushes. This is gonna be fun to watch. Also want to see how your girls do in the sevens, cuz I considered that too and instead went for smaller and more. But great opportunity for learning for me here (and others, there's a lot of people just trying autos that would benefit from this). AND I'll be able to bank it for my next auto grow. LOL. I already have had enough fun with them to grow them again. So thanks for posting this, sweet ass photos too. I guess that was the fourth node where you chopped her? And wow, Day 26. I bet you start seeing preflowers and pistils in a week or so? I found myself asking them to please stay in veg for as long as you possibly can every day, lmao. Bigger is better, right? My three Pineapple Express (highly recommended, big plant, incredible amount of natural side branching, high yielder, pretty high THC - 20+%, takes every nute you can throw at her and laughs at you) are the only ones still in veg, which is great, but they're beginning to preflower I think. I had one plant, the Gorilla Zkittlez, who started budding early, and seriously she started on day 26, lol. Her buds are FAT now and she still has a month or more to go.

Psyched for this ride BL.

There ya go. Got lids for those containers?

Good work! Nothing wrong with that. Now just get them all pointed towards a different spot at the edge of the pot and keep staking them down every few days as they grow outwards. The very top 2 you could keep more in the center if you wanted as well. They will grow whichever way you turn them, just take your time as the branches get thicker.

Thought I was work mate.. you put out some darn good tutorials.. I buy a bit of stuff gettin flogged.. symbiotic.

Haha, thanks bud. Glad tocsee they helped you out!

Are these under the new light now? If it's happening to more than one it very well could be the light intensity. If so, turn the panel dimmer down some, start low.

There appears to be a couple very slight Clawed leaf tips there as well. The leave also appear a bit of a dark but healthy green. This plant is also telling you its getting enough nitrogen plus a little extra. You could maybe adjust your veg feed down just a tad.

Based on my first grow, which granted was photos, I would say response to the light. Mine in veg did this exact same thing and I raised my lights about 6 inches and it stopped. That's just me, but it looked precisely like this. For what it's worth. At the same time, the first time I gave those same first grow plants Tiger Bloom and overdid it just a little, it looked exactly like this too, except not with the yellowing on the sides, just the tips. That's another reason I would go light over medium. I notice you're starting to get a tiny bit of curling in the interior of the upper set of leaves as well, which is not present on the lower big set, which I guess you saw too. That would say light to me too, and then the last similarity is that when I was too close with my light, my lower leaves all were down, like these are. I think maybe it's cuz they're trying to get away from the light, rather than be straight out or even praying up a bit when they're getting what they want. All that is a for what it's worth, but that was my experience.

There ya go. Got lids for those containers?

Hey man
Thanks for the time .
New light .. ha! Not yet. Definitely maybe this weekend for that.
Got 3 65w. White light led above girls. Only about 4”off the top of canopy. I’ve turned one off just in case. I fecked up a bit in there positioning and I can’t get the light higher at the min. I was hoping to have the other light on the go by now.. hey ho.
On the slight claw and tip discolouration. I also thought it could be nitrogen as the frass has 2% N . I’ve backed off the feed and just added cal mag today, see if any response over the next couple of days.
The feed been low anyway up to this point..
the fact that it’s started on diesel one as she got closer to the light made me think it was the light intensity though.. what you recon?
Peace to ya

I’m hoping the same @Jon .. that’s what I’m leaning towards. I’ve knocked one off for now.. see if it helps over the next couple of days.
Thanks again for your time man, appreciated.

Bit tighty tight at the min .. but that’s the first oz in the pressure cooker.. on overnight for a slow cook with butter. Lemon cakes tomorrow.
I’ve placed a cloth on the bottom of the cooker to stop the jars touching the copper base. I placed the jars in and filled up to about half way up the jars with water.
I decarbed for a couple of hours first.. then added the butter an pooped em back in for the night.
I’m planning on the same process tomorrow with olive oil.. which will get used for pesto/ salad dressings etc.
I done the same with the trim from the last NL grow. An it was fanfeckintastic.. knockout sleeping pill.

Bit tight in here with the new fan and old light with no home yet.

Yeah at 4" you might want to lift them up a little. At least a few more inches. I'm not sure how intense those really are but better to try and lift the lights up a bit.

No need to stop feeding, just lower the ratio of nitrogen a tiny bit is all. Keep doing as you were there.
