My Zen Garden 2019 (.. Golden Tiger, Destroyer)

[Guest]

I'd have done them a little earlier.Safest defol is before stretch ends ,some say 3 weeks 12/12,I think now it could help too.

Both strains have a great aroma. Your plants are beautiful. Peace

Thanks mate, and your absolutely right about the aromas. Currently my favourite smells come from this Golden Tiger..stem rub gives me aromas very mint like, some fresh kitchen herbs and little bit like some citrus kitchen cleaner in the back.. aint she pretty :

Flowering day 10, stretch pretty much done, this is the other Golden Tiger, took a lot of upper leaves on Sunday and there's still pretty much left, but the tops will grow bigger now I hope :

Smaller Destroyer had some leaves removed too, still some shading the tops ..lower half of the plant is completely naked

Soon done 3 weeks flowering, things are going well, except one gt is suffering from that excessive nitrogen, but I think we will get to decent outcome with her eventually. I spend a lot of time looking and sniffing these plants when I'm around the house, they are amazing.


First some pics of Destroyer, have to say that the bigger Destroyer is absolute queen of this run, but other Golden Tiger is very much to my liking as well


Bigger Destroyer

Smaller one, they differ in smells and growing style so I bet there's gonna be some nice variation in the effect too. I think smaller Destro suffered from too cold water when I watered it last, looks happy, but drinking time delayed by 2 days. was -20c outside when I was getting spring water and it didn't have time to warm up enough it seems:

GT suffering from nitro and bit too moist soil:

Excellent GT, Dubi or anyone else if you have insight, does this remind you of malawi or more thai'is? Aromas are atleast similar to thai if I've understood right. This is the only girl, which has been stretching a bit still, but gonna get nice spear tops:

Whole gang day 20.

Looking nice up in here rls ...! Full house..

Haven't got much time to update lately, but here's how it looks now around 5 weeks flower I think..GT in the back is putting some weight in real quick, and other GT in the front is starting to bulk up too, looks like atleast 2 weeks slower plant tho. Bigger Destroyer just keeps amazing me and prolly will end up with my personal record yield. Not much frost anywhere yet, but the aromas are great..


Was funny how GT grew, stretched it tops in great amounts at early flowering and now it's steadily bulking the buds around the stem and growing em upwards.

This Destroyer is killing it, nice lime smells. Starting to fatten up and push some resin.

Smaller Destro, more skunk/cheese type smellprofile:

 

[rlsmooth]

Gt1 starting to get it's gear on. Floppy stems will need support when buds gain weight. Different smell profile compared to other gt, hints of fruit can't say much else yet. This suffered from too heavy soil so it will take more time for it to mature I bet.

 

[rlsmooth]

GT, I think this is clear Thai/Malawi hybrid structure? Stems so floppy they already starting to bend in midflowering..kinda fluffy buds but if it bulks as I think and hope it will it could yield heavily. Smells a little bit like carrots..motor oil like..very golden looks too when I look at it, can't see it from pic tho.

Nice to see your grow man, popped some ace seeds and interesting to see how they’re developing.

How much height do you have?

 

[unnamedmike]

Looking great

How much height do you have?

Hi, I have only 180cm high tent. Containers take around 30-40cm atleast and if I'd put cmh as high as I could it takes around 10cm too...so not too much.

 

[rlsmooth]

Terrible Saturday morning..waking up in a little hangover. Starting to hear buzzing sounds coming from tent. Fucking cmh lamp aint starting, tried 3 different bulbs all the same. Looked with flashlight to the socket and some parts have melted :Oooo. I'm really starting to hate this CMH shit, already second fixture for me that breaks and now I think it also broke my new bulb I bought lately. It's funny coz I don't even do anything but let the plants stay in peace and bulbs keep breaking..never gonna grow with these bulllshit fixtures again, gonna get some leds when I have money..now I prolly have to use 200w CFL for several days and I have a trip coming next Friday not sure if able to get a new one before that..lets see how sativas like it they were just starting to bulk up with light speed---

9 weeks flowering, flippped lights at NYE.Time for update. After the lamp broke down plants spend almost a week under shitty veg lights and stopped drinking. At the time I also lost zen with this grow..malawi/thai golden tiger turned to shit pretty much at the same time. It's either my fault giving it just a tiny teaspoon bit of molasses/ or that+ lamp change, but it pretty much burned all it's leaves and lost terps..pretty much no progress has happened with it since then, trics are mix of clear and milky, will give it around 1 week more and then remove it to make space for others. Very fluffy buds, will pass it on I guess..

Luckily the other Golden Tiger has nice mandarin fruity smells and lots of trichs, will need maybe 3-4 weeks more and hope it will fatten up..

 

[rlsmooth]

Smaller Destroyer pretty much done,all milky trichs. Smells musky and kinda fluffy buds..will pass it on too I think. Looks like heat stress but it ain't the case, didn't like the molasses either..will cut it in week or so.
