Week 8 flower

I gave the ladies a good watering last night.
Hashplant and Ice are still flushing with 1 tsp of molasses per gallon of water.

The Satori and Kalichakra received following per gallon:
1 tsp FloraNova Bloom
2 tsp Liquid Karma
1 tsp Cal-Mag
1 tsp molasses

I'm keeping an eye on the trichomes, but I have a feeling that the Ice and HP's will be ready by this weekend...

Woot! Can't wait for the chop pics!

 

[one Q]

maybe i missed it but is there a reason youre using FNGrow and not Bloom?

Nope. Thats a typo on my part. I've been using Bloom throughout flowering.

I guess that's what I get for copying and pasting from earlier posts. Whoops!

Good spot, though...

Looking great my friend. I must say that formula you posted is exactly what they needed. They have come back to life & putting out big time now. I have been using it consistently every five days or when the pots feel light. Oh & thanks for the info earlier, I trust you & jamies pro advice. Thanks & keep those pics rolling.

I took down the smallest Hashplant a few days ago. I'd been picking at the plant for some time for sample nuggets and finally decided to just go ahead and take it down. That way I wouldn't mess with the rest of them as they're trying to finish. It ended up being around .5-.75 oz after drying. No pics of it; been too busy smokin' it. Sorry...

I've started flushing the Mandala strains with 1 tsp of molasses per gallon of water.

Catch up with you tomorrow for the execution of the remaining two plants.

Nice looking buds there. They look to me like they are covered in sugar. How is the potency and taste on them? Good work sir!

Hashplant 5

This one dried out to the point where the weight of the top bud broke the main stem. Nice...

Hashplant 2


The Hashplant is good. I haven't had a chance to give the one I chopped first a good cure, so I can't say much flavor-wise. It's smooth when smoked and vaped, so I know they got a proper flush. No chemically taste...

The high is great. The Hashplant is a heavy hitter. A drowsy stone that locks you in place, it sits on your forehead and dares you to get up anytime soon. Two bowls had me spacing out a minute or two at a time and I'm a veteran toker. I smoked a blunt of the stuff yesterday and enjoyed the hell out of it. Thick, narcotic buzz that originates in the head. An interesting cross between a sativa and indica buzz...

Well, here you go...

Group @ week 9.5

I had to stake up my plants because they had a serious gangsta lean goin' on; to the point that I was afraid the main stem would snap under the weight of the top bud. The tops are dense as hell, I can't wait to see how much they weigh...

Satori 2


A small percentage of the trichomes are amber and more are cloudy, while some are clear. I'll check again at the beginning of week 10 and make a decision then.

Still looking really good in here!

I enjoy following your plants and especially the Satoris as I'm gonna pop some in a little while. (did I already tell you that? hmm... memory )

So I take it you are happy with the way they are growing? Will you bless us with smokereports as well?

Respect!

Yes, well done.

Week 10 Flower

Week 10 Flower

I chopped the Kalichakra today.

Didn't get a heavy yield, but it doesn't look too different from the other plants I chopped earlier.

Each of the different strains I ran have yielded around .5 to .75 Oz per plant. Not great, not terrible. I have the official numbers written down somewhere. I'll post them when I find them... Either way. I was shooting for more, but I still walk away with a fair amount of top shelf nugget. Win-fuckin'-win, I guess.

I'm sure the burning early in veg didn't help matters, but I wonder if there was something that I was doing incorrectly? I hadn't ran any of these strains before, so I had no idea what to expect in terms of nutrient uptake speed, strength of mix, and so on.

I'm taking down the Satoris tomorrow. The tent will follow shortly afterwards.

The bud I've got jarred is curing nicely. The different strains are starting to show off all of their unique flavors and fragrances. I'll take a few dry nugget photos soon. I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to dedicate as much time as I would have liked documenting the end of this grow.

I'll catch up with you ASAP with some photos and maybe some more detailed smoke reports.

And then there were none...

And then there were none...

Satori 1

Satori 2

That does it.

Both of the Satoris are down and drying and so is the Kalichakra. BTW, I found the rest of the numbers...

Ice 1: 15.1g
Ice 2: 17.2g
Hashplant 1: 12.8g
Hashplant 2: 18.1g
Hashplant 3: 18.3g
Hashplant 4: 22.5g
Hashplant 5: 19.3g
Kalichakra: 25.6g

Not overly impressive, but a good initial run. I think with an extra week or two of veg, I'd see an improvement in my yield. I might also try some different nutes. My FloraNova is a a around two years old, so maybe it had lost some of its potency?

Anyways, more pics to come.

 

[High Lowlander]

Nice!! Enjoy man

All that bud does in fact look tasty and potent to me. From looking at the plants structure, it looks like they were fighting for light. That is the only downside to higher plant numbers from seed in small places like a tent. The stress from the strong soil in veg probably didn't help, but is not as much of a factor.

Don't worry though. With every grow you get better and adapt. Enjoy !
