I know how it goes - no worries! Nice harvest by the way!!! You must be thrilled with how things went and the nice numbers that are coming in. :thumb:

LOL a grow god! Freudian slip? Maybe. True? Damn skippy!

Love the chocolope + D.O.G.

Haha, no grow god here -- but thanks nonetheless for, well... everything!! :thanks:
 
Grow update - Day 35 bloom/End of week 5 since photoperiod reduction:

Mostly a picture update today. Buds still swelling, and the frost is really setting in nicely. This morning I was shocked at how much the trichomes seemed to multiply seemingly overnight. Like it snowed - love it! :)

A bit of a recap as far as what's happening in the flower tent:

Strains: (2) Super Lemon Haze, (1) Chocolope, and (1) Deadhead OG


  • Grown with Blue Planet Nutrients (3 part series) and Liquid Blue bloom booster, in a "Flo N Gro" (Ebb N Grow style) system.
  • Currently the PPM's are at about 1500ppm (.07 conversion).
  • Temps are about 75f, RH is about 45% currently.

  • PH is currently maintained between about 5.5 and 5.9.

  • They are getting floods about every 3 1/2 hours during lights on only

Super Lemon Haze (lots of sativa-like calyx stacking on the SLH's... this is definitely a sativa pheno!):

Last but not least... Here are a couple of pictures of the newest vegging plants -- my own crosses from the little breeding experiment I did in my last grow. I'm SO excited about these plants. :) :)

This is an OG Ripper (OG Kush x Jack the Ripper):

Here's a group shot of some of the new crosses, and a Pineapple Express thrown in. There is (2) of each cross, plus (2) Pineapple Express. One of them is on the other shelf, and unpictured...

It seems like autos can be a bit unpredictable in general, too. The shading may well have been a factor as well. Thanks for weighing in :surf:!

And if the good Lord above wanted these plants to be "auto" he would have made them that way. Seems like whenever mankind messes with nature, he messes up big time. I have never been a fan of auto's but then again, I like the control I have and would not do well with plants that have a "mind of their own".
 
Wow looking great! I cant wait to start my Flood and Drain grow in the next few weeks!

Best of the luck to you. I have been growing this way (all phases) for the past 3-4 years and love it. Once you get everything "dialed in" the maintenance is easier unless you have a small system. Seems like the larger your reservoir is, the longer the replenishing time factor is, at least that is what I have experienced...
 
looking good my friend, those new strains are well on their way, are you only going to clone these or do you have future plans of having a seed stock of the strain so you can grow them in the future and keep some seeds for a long time, would keep the clone going plus could get others growing it,

remember to vote in the contests, some nice plants and buds, its going to be hard to decide this time round, link is below for the contests
 
looking good XL, smoke some of that for me man :p
