The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

Adventures in Back Building The Buds

It's been six days now, so let's revisit.

Unclipped.

At this point I don't see much difference. We have another two weeks to play with. I'm check again next Saturday.

 
Micro grows are definitely an art, Sue...and you are the artist!
 
Jamaican Dream (Day 74)

Today she got her Growth Energy drench, setting her up for her first CAT.

I'm pretty happy with her progress. She'll be smokable, and I expect, fairly potent at that. She's spunky. I like that.

 
Daily Update: Perpetual Tent - Week 19, Day 7

Maintenance notes:
- Growth Energy Drenches: Unknown Seed, DeLahaze, Jamaican Dream, Original Bubblegum, Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia
- CAT Drenches: Dark Devil Auto #2, Carnival, Nebula
- The big girls all got a 1/4 turn.
- Topped off no-till SWICK reservoir.

Let's take a spin.

Dark Devil Auto #2 (Day 74) She got her second CAT. In comparison to the breeder timeline of 8.5 weeks from sprout she's doing a stellar job, running two weeks beyond that projection and still popping out pistils. Time to wind her down though. I'm hoping I can get her through another two weeks. Yeah, that felt as crazy saying it as it must have felt to read it. :straightface: I'll hold her off as long as I can.

Paradise Nebula (Day 87) Her second CAT today puts her in for another two week dash to the finish line. Every inch of her is showing off her White Widow genetics. In person she looks almost albino when the light catches her just so. Like a little ghost plant. :laughtwo:

Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia (Day 47) My Biggest Challenge. I can throw her into the tiny closet to continue right down to before I leave and let the daughter jar her up. Or turn her into butter. We're looking at 60, maaaayyyybeee.......63 days tops? She may surprise me in the next two weeks. At the very least, she becomes edibles.

image3863.jpeg


Paradise DeLahaze (Day 103) Yes, you read that right. SweetSue let a plant go beyond 100 days and hasn't freaked out about it. Isn't she beautiful? She had her last drench today. When she dries she gets harvested.

Just a couple pretty shots of the Unknown Seed. The most amazing plant! Such a fanciful structure and whimsical coloration.

You know I'm a sucker for sweet foxtailing. This plant is covered with it. :slide:

image3867.jpeg


Original Bubblegum (Day 73) She'll start her run of CATs next. She's moving pretty fast right now, and starting to thicken up.

A shot I took from behind the tiny Dark Devil Auto, giving a better sense of the density of her interior growth.

The Afghani's buds were clipped on Monday, and I see obvious evidence from my perspective of the buds going to that barrel shape you're striving for. She's at Day 130 now and beginning to wind down. It's been a rough time for her. I understand and sympathize. Look at her working so hard to please me anyway. :Love:

image3872.jpeg


Carnival's buds were all barrel-shaped to begin with. Like little rocks. For comparison though, this was one of the two I clipped.

image3873.jpeg


This is an unclipped one. I say we wait another week and look again. :battingeyelashes:

That's it for today. The Jamaican Dream and Original Bubblegum will all begin their CAT drenches in 5 days. I feel like I'm running as fast as I can. LOL! It's going to get interesting now. DeLahaze and the Unknown Seed come down within the next 10 days or so. I'm going to try to get two more drenches into both Dark Devil Autos, Carnival and Nebula so I can wrap them up with an Energy.

I have four groups:

1. Coming down now :
- DeLahaze
- Unknown Seed

2. Coming out of the CATs: Requiring at least two more drenches and a drying out
- Carnival
- Dark Devil Autos #1 (Day 87)
- Dark Devil Auto #2 (Day 74)
- Nebula
- Afghani #2 will come down with this group.

3. Up for the CATs next: Needing more time than I have.
- Jamaican Dream
- Original Bubblegum

4. Stragglers:
- Youngest Dark Devil Auto
- Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia

These two show you how irrepressible that optimistic streak of mine really is. :laughtwo:

Let's see see how it goes. Into the home stretch.

I'll be seeing you around the yards. I have domestic chores to attend to first. :ciao: :green_heart:




 
How ironic that I'm within a couple weeks of closing down for an extended run and I finally got my brain to click on the flow sheet. LOL!

Look at how neat this is. It was like I was possessed by someone more serious and focused. :laughtwo:

image3877.jpeg


At least when I get back it'll be with a stronger design to the documentation. There's hope for me yet. :battingeyelashes:

 
Good Morning :Love:

I have to run out real quick, but I'll be right back. Need creamer for the coffee. Priorities. :laughtwo:

Yummy coffee and potent brownie already ingested, thank you OG.

Time to put together some posts and get this laundry out of the way.

:Namaste:

i'm just gonna sit here and wait for brownies..

hey Raddy! :ciao: was wondering where you were.

The way I surf 420 mag, I read the theads I follow with the oldest messages first.
:nomo::surf::420::thumb:

Yesterday I had a brownie, passed around a few bowls, socialized, and cleaned 3 bongs, 3 pipes and 4 bowls.

Somedays I don't get all caught up on the threads I follow. :cheertwo:


When I don't get caught up, it can take awhile to get to the most active threads. :ciao:

Today, Sweet Sue's fun house is 36 hours behind, so not bad :) :cheesygrinsmiley::circle-of-love:
 
:high-five: LOL. I like to make a run to the grocery store after I've finished trimming. :laughtwo: Something about the image of a grizzled old fart passing you in the aisle along with a good strong shot of freshly trimmed cannabis cologne - dunno, it appeals to me. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Old farts FTW! :fistbump: :cheesygrinsmiley:

I'm not an old fart, I just look like one in the mirror :)
 
Hey Gang....there's a coffee nazi aboard ship.....watch out! Hide the beans!:wood:

Creamer in your coffee?!?! Is a big dose of sugar next???

It's coffee not candy dammit!

*Oh no... I'm not some sort of coffee nazi...*

Hahaha! Cajun turned me on to the chicory, but every time I add the sweeter and, in particular the creamer, I expect him to step out of the background and gently remove the container from my hand. Can't you just hear it? "Step away from the non-dairy pollutant to the flavor of your coffee mon amie. " :rofl:

I'm trying to wean myself off. I didn't begin drinking coffee until I was in my early 20s and my introduction was a West Texas Dunkin' Doughnuts. My friend handed me the cup of plain and said "Taste". "Bitter!" I responded. "Prefer herb tea, thank you very much."

She reached past me to the sugar container, dumped probably 1/8 cup into that coffee, splashed some honest-to-God creamer in, gave it a swirl, handed it back to me with a "Try it now " and a wicked grin spreading up to the twinkle in her eyes. I now understand that twinkle to be the sugar rush from her previous three cups.

It's been a difficult habit to release. :battingeyelashes: You should join us in Supergroomer's coffee shop. I think you'd like the company. I know we'd enjoy yours. The accent's hard to resist. LOL! Such a woman thing to say, and you'd have laughed right out loud if you heard the voice drop into the lower, more sultry register of southern woman hospitality mode. :laughtwo: Five years in West Texas going to University left a permanent mark on me.

Let's take a moment to be on topic and keep everyone happy. What can I offer up?.......hmmmmmm....... Ah! Here we go. A few random shots from inside the tent. I like to leave Sunday's relatively free, today I'm slipping into Callanetics mode as soon as I post this, so it's just pretty pictures and me rambling today, I guess. Isn't that every day around here? Hahaha!

The Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia

Looking down a branch of Carnival. I'm not going to get something luscious and covered with pistils like Graytail's this time, but the experience of raising this one is invaluable. My next attempt at this strain will be in the oldest no-till, up canned into a 10 gallon bag. I like the idea of both pots being at least 10 gallons. I need to get some worms into that new pot. Oops! I rambled.

My little one. She's absolutely elegant, and poses so nicely. :battingeyelashes:

Dishes and laundry call. I'm finally getting back into routines and I want to reinforce that. I'm trying a new approach of integrating the different segments of my life into a smoother flow. Certain elements keep getting overlooked, and it's really necessary to include movement and decent nutrition if the goal is homeostasis. And it is.

I'll be seeing you around. :Namaste:
 
Story time... thread hijacking in progress....

So the locals in my bend of the river seem to enjoy coffee with something called chickory (a.k.a. tree bark!) in it.
It's a gawd awful bitter brew. I simply fail to understand it's popularity.

I bought some last week because Sue was enjoying it. There was a time years ago that I drank it at a friend's home. It is pretty stout but I wouldn't want to drink it every day.

I can certainly understand that Jim. :battingeyelashes: I drank espresso roast for decades, so I was surprised that my taste buds accepted the change so readily. Of course, sweetener and creamer make a difference. Towards the end there Dale increased the ratios of both in our coffee. Recently it occured to me that buried beneath all that was the distinct flavor of the beans and the chicory, so little by little I'm cutting back until I find my balance point.
 
Have to say, I am truly loving that Carnival. It is definitely my favorite in your grow. I may just have to get some of those beans on the next order. :)

I can smell it from here.....yum.

Looks great as usual here Sue, it didn't take me as long to catch up as I thought it would. LOL

Have a grrrrrreat day!
