hot peppers are a great feed at lights out i love to give them a good spray of hot pepper water. i mix in a few other things but ever time i do it the plants love it. i need to do it again but i ran out of peppers. The fire caused me to loose 300 lbs of meat and 150 lbs of other stuff like peppers/ smoked foods ect. so i figure i need to get the hotest ones i can lmao. you might figure out when i do something i do it. I dont hold back and i research usually. for indoor growing i spent 3 months 8 hrs day reading.

Aren't you afraid of burning the leaves by spraying, not from the pepper but from the light. I thought that was the primary argument against foliar spraying indoors.
 
Good night Tryshard, came by to visit your garden.
Simply a-ma-zing buds! :thumb:
I´m in love with the Blueberry Indica dom. strains. I never tried any but from the pics I´ve seen here I just drool on them buds. Will def. try running some blue strain in my next tent grow.
Your pics are awesome too.
I think foliar spraying is done right before lights off so the ladies have time to dry.
I read you´re a bit anxious about the harvest and I think it´s kinda normal, considering it´s your first. Remember how far you´ve came and think positive. I´m avoiding all negative thoughts about mine so I don´t attract less good things.
So..:passitleft: those buds you took for a try :)

Sending grower´s love & good karma for the harvest your way

They are still not dry, I have them in the rack but our humidity has been a bit high.

I quick dried some, from a the big broken branch. It had a good initial buzz but short lived, and tasted a little cloryphily.

It´s ok, I´m smoking my non-well-dried small buds and i´m high as heck :)
Same here, 69% RH today, a dehumidifier would be so handy for me these days! funny thing is I only have a humidifier :)

Its been a day since I started the flush, no noticeable changes other than they are getting frostier and frostier each day. And the blue tint of the earlier pictures is now coming out strong, and its definitely a light blue. I didn't get any real close ups, I just took a few.

5-21 Overview:

The twins are two of these I don't remember which ones anymore since moving them around.

Here is the same shot shaded you can see the blue tint. In normal light it very easy to see.

These are only lightly shaded, this the front right corner, see all the buds in the back.

6 more days, I wish I hadn't pulled that popcorn sample. I knew it wasn't up to snuff and now I'm paranoid that the entire crop will be crap. I know I'm being foolish because the they are way more coated in trichomes than the medicine I get from my Dispensary, but it being my first grow, I can't get over the feeling I overlooked something and I'm headed for disappointment, not in quantity, but in quality. errr I'm going to bed.

Yes you should be upset! You totally screwed this one up! Look at those big blue buds....who would want nice fresh frosty blue buds! My. Lord how can you even show your face!

Lmao....looks amazing! Great job! An early sample is indicative of nothing! Unless you were expecting something the strain cant produce you should be grinning ear to ear! You rock!

i let the grow lights turn off for 5 min then i spray and then i also turn my timer off so my fans stay on all night when i do this. I learned never to spray with a HPS light on.
 
that's a lot of timers Tryshard, lol. your girls are looking FAT!, careful with any spray when you have buds that HUGE you are vulnerable to

any excessive moisture creating the potential for mold, LOOKS LIKE YOU EVERYTHING WELL UNDER CONTROL :welldone:

my 2 cents, you are doing a great job in here :bravo:

I don't do any spraying, I am thinking about not running the Hydro for three days and making them dry and thirsty like they would be in nature at harvest time, I hoping it will really bring out the trichomes.
 
You can reset your time schedule by extending the dark period of your flowering to re sync your time of day when your lights come on at. If you are venting your exhausted air outside then Ona Gel may help control the scent. I would not use Ona Gel in the room where the intake air for your grow areas comes from.

You mean so I don't have to do the harvest from Midnight to 6am? I may have to do it then as they are doing construction next door so any smell would not be good. What I could do is once I cut the plants I can quickly get the branch's into the rack, clear out the pots, they should be pretty dry, set a chair in my tent with close the doors and work in there, with the AC going it should be too bad. It stays about 75 in there with the lights on, so with me and florescent I should be good.

Good day all. Hope you all have a great weekend. Tryshard when you chop you dont hang them for a few days? I found this helps allot. they keep there shape better. trimming them after isnt that hard at all. i do 2 trims.

I'm thinking they aren't ready yet. I wasn't just joking around when I expressed my concerns on the my crop. It looks nice but the test buds seem very immature. The colas aren't very sticky either, and perhaps I was mistaken in the cloudiness of trichomes. Because it Memorial Weekend, my microscope is not coming till tuesday. Can I start feeding my plants again and let them go another couple of weeks.

Sticky is whe you use boiling water to the roots. out of 5 plants only 2 was super sticky and they both had boiling water. I do swear on my balls and manhood that the boiling water is the only way to do it. Wow bro when i bust apart a nug it sticks to my fingers so bad. I need a vaporizer. Bro my friend is moving from east coast to CO. That meas he drives right by me. i am so happy. i will have allot of strains now. i will go out to CO and help him setup a sweet Fill and drain setup. i have fiberglass and can make him a sweet big setup. he has a seed Company. I do love this world allot more lately. America is waking up.

I'll take some pictures tonight. I going to start at least watering them again. I will make my decision on Tuesday when my 500 power microscope shows up. I use the jewelers loop and now they look clear to me.
 
Hey TrysHard, I was doing a drive by and had to hit the brakes!!!!! It looks like a Galaxy of Cola's, "Super Job"

I've already subbed your next grow journal. Easy does my man, if I may say so myself, your doing great and I'd be thrilled if my first grow turns out half as good as your.
