What a nice view to come home to Tim!

They're all looking healthy and lush.

You glad you left the AC in there? I know I am! 👀

Absolutely glad I decided to use AC bases again! It's not easy for me to lift them daily as it's tight in the tent. Also, sometimes I'll lift and pull the wicks up. I read where more than one person tied the wick in a knot under the top of the base to the wicks stay in place while lifting. I may try that next grow.

I was asking about the Acapulco Gold (AC) plant, Tim. You were considering culling her at one point due to crowding and/or height, I can't recall which.

Yea, glad I kept her. She's way too close to the light bit it doesn't seem to bother her
 
Cruising along in there! :surf:

It's only getting colder from here on!
 
Sparkling like the Perseids!
 
I know this may be nit picky, a new luxury for me this grow, but I noticed on the MC girl some up turned leaf tips. This happened when I was gone and it received GH shed formula.

Anything to adjust with my MC dosage or leave it be at 5.75?

I noticed it Sunday and today looks like some.new leaves with the upped tips.

Looks like they either got a bit dry while you were gone or the nutes are generally a bit hot for them. And I max out at 5.5g/gal with my version of MC (9-6-17).

Most likely both. She did get a bit dry.
 
Looking good @Timhomegrow !

FYI > Some of the sativa's I've grown barely tolerate 5g/gallon of MC o_O

Looks like an early sign to back off a bit ;)

That being said your leaves generally seem to be in good condition !

Cheers
 
day 88 above ground and 43 days since flip

things seem to be moving along as they should. Feed is the same for all, as listed previously, but did lower the back left MC girl to 5.5. Their newest verion, unless they changed 5 times in 2 months, has more N. :)

I did a little defoliation today to open up the canopy.for more light and air. It wasn't easy getting around this full tent. I'm really thinking of leaving them in for the rest of the grow and not cleaning the wicks....unless I see a problem. Honestly, most of the girls have flimsy stems and I'm afraid of fitting them in again. I pretty much stopped having this problem when using using @DYNOMYCO with top watering (great stuff!), but the two wicking grows it doesn't seem to help. Guessing the topsoil needs to be wet 🤔

Gelato OG: GH trio
Trimmed maybe 12-15 leaves as her canopy was thick. Buds seem dense. Seeing brown pistils already....seems odd but maybe not.

OG Kush: Shed formula
Also getting some darker pistils. Her buds seem the most dense.

OG Kush: MC
I should have trimmed off more satellites...too many bud sites. Her buds seem much more airy/soft, except the very tops of the main colas. Even those aren't as dense as the two others. It will be interesting at harvest to compare.

And the late bloomer, crazy tall acupulco gold girl. She's so tall than half her colas aren't getting much light haha.

They are starting to lose some lower fans and color. I think that's natural at this point. I'm shocked how much tricomes are on the fans at the top of the canopy......feeling really good :)
 
You're running at full throttle in there Tim, and - knock wood - have pretty well conquered the leaf issues you've had!
 
day 96 above ground, day 61 since flip

i was away for a week, filled the bases with 2 gals. I had my fiancee water and she didnt follow directions correctly and water all four from the top and didn't give them much. The back left girl and the Shed plant got a little dry and and colas directly under the light got some fading leaves. But still looking good. Hoping it was her watering mistake :)

She also put the house temp down low and my tent was maxing out at 72 degrees for a couple of day.

Pistils are all amber and bud density increased while I was away. Guessing another 2-3 weeks, we shall see.
 
Your collection looks wonderful Tim, a bunch of keepers!

But dump the fiancee. 😁

She makes up for it with her cooking and other skills.

Next time I'll just use my auto water system ha.

Sounds like intentional sabotage to me! "Do these two things..." and does the reverse. ;)

Either way they're still looking much better than the last few at 61 days and the frost game is strong, so :welldone:

Yup, still loving this grow.

And I may.be to blame. I'm now remembering bumping up the light level a little to get closer to 38-40 DLI to follow the chart. I'm thinking that was a big part of it. But a good learning experience :)
 
day 100 above ground, 65 days since flip

this grow may.come the closest to thr breeders flowering time. Tricomes are mostly cloudy.

Gelato OG...GH trio. I did some trimming a few days ago to expose some lower buds to light and improve airflow. Buds seem real dense.

20241002_080121.jpg


Cookies Kush ...shed formula. Her buds are also dense and perhaps the most frosty. I had increased the light and fried a few colas directly under the light but overall looking good.

Cookies kush...MC. her top buds are dense, lots of lower immature buds, should have removed more satellites after flip.

Acupulco Gold, aka GDB plant....so glad he convinced me to keep it. Her buds are dense and leaves are very frosty.

It's been 30 days since I removed the bases and, knock on wood, they all seem good. I can see parts of the wicks in the bases and don't see any roots growing into the base. The square pattern, with AC infinity fabric pots, seems to have helped.

I'm so excited to smoke some of this grow, 😋
