Retardo's Asylum

Hey thanks for the kind words and stopping in, always nice to have company!
These days I'm using a 1000w hps/mh in a coolsun 2. its a Superblue bulb with the 600hps and 400mh in the same bulb. Its about 20" above canopy. A little too close normally, but the room is barely 70F, so I don't think I've lost any aromatics from heat as I still need the 10" filter on high!
I hear ya on the 56 Swamp, normally that would by my way too but I've waited a long time to flower F13 again and I have alot of patience built up for her. Today is only day 62, i actually see a noticeable difference from the last 2 days from calyx swelling, the hardness of the buds has increased and the scent is holding steady. She still needs a bit more of a flush anywyay, still closer to 1000ppm's than 500. i'm stoked to hear mpore about the F13x too swamp. Two i have going are so lemony sweet, like blueberry lemonade! the other is a green leaf and stemmed, cedar leaning, spear type F13 plant.
I'm getting some pistil death at the tip of the MK and bubba but no burnt leaf tips. is this normal for these anyone or am I running them too hot. Or do I just need to get my damn nose out of those tips?!!:yoinks:
Here's hoping some Gk pollen will be ready quick for those girls to enjoy.

Looking fantastic as usual RM! I'm running in the mid 60s for room temp with lights on and the F13 went completely black on me! Just such an amazing plant to watch grow. I've been limiting myself to taking one cola at day 60 to tide me over til the rest go to 70. It's a struggle, but it makes me appreciate it that much more:) Take care brother!

The Vulcan Mind meld! I have been toying with the take a cola too tide my over solution for the last couple days. partially too see if the bottom buds fill and harden after chopping the cola. She's one of those top to bottom finishing girls thats hard to wait on! The trichs stay clear so long too. Good to hear from ya Astartes, how long do ya think I should wait on the AM? I was thinking another week to let those calyxes harden up. is there much action after the pistils have mostly withered?

Yep the one cola pre chop is enough to get me through til the main load is dry, but it's still an exercise in will power. I've told myself I can only smoke out of the water pipe and no joints. It's the only way I can stretch it, hehe:)

It looks like you have the longer flowering cut from the pics. I chopped mine last night at day 70 on the nuts with a 3 week flush. All the trichs were cloudy with about 10-15% amber. Just the way I like it. Definitely let her go another week. The calyxes will harden considerably. She's so much more solid this go around, that the last when she got the axe at day 60.

Thanks guys, company is always welcome here! i gotta say that I'm really glad I seeded a couple branches of bubba and mk, otherwise I might not be able to help myself right now from the axe! i think they are in the 60's now but trichs arent amber, sampled a bit, tasty tasty, but i expected it to whoop me, it was very clear actually, made me want more and more. maybe the amber changes things alot. Some of the seeds are so bulged together a few are taking on strange elongated ends like mini gourds. i'm encouraged by how fast the gk 3 and 4 have bulked by day 30, they are still filling and hardening but unseeded I think they are nice fast plants, stay tuned!
