***UPDATE*** SCROLL DOWN FOR ~WEEK 9 PICS. POST #10


Hey guys, thought I'd throw up a few pics since my girlfriend found her camera. The camera is nothing special and I suck at taking pics so don't give me too much shit. This is my closet I set up because I had a couple extra lights and some mom's I needed to do something with. This room is pretty simple. 2 1k's with 12 plants under them. I made a screen real quick out of PVC and twine. Did the lattice work a little to close but...ehhh, oh well. A/C, intake, exhaust, simple. I built the room in like 4 hours, nothing special, simple and works. I've already spent enough money on my 3 other rooms so I went cheap. I didn't wanna just throw these girls aways and my other rooms are either filled or being renovated.

The plants were mom's that got infested with mites and were getting big so I needed to do something with them. They've been through it all. Temps of 113, heavy infestation of mites, lots of clones cut off over time, rootbound, friends not taking very good care of them, and they still look pretty good...could be better but that's how life goes sometimes. About 4 1/2-5 feet tall. Almost 100% mite free...almost. I still see some of those fuckers...grrrr. At one point these girls were just a few leaves on each plant because the mites got so bad. I've got carpet throughout my house so those asshole's like to hang out there while I spray and then jump back a while later. I'm all organic. I use neem, spinosad, and good ol' Ed Rosenthal's for pesticides but I stopped spraying about a week or two ago on this room. I use FF Ocean Forest cut in half with perlite. I also switch off between General Organics/Earth Juice combo and compost tea, they seem to like it. These girls are at about 6 1/2 weeks I think, give or take a week, I didn't keep track of when I threw them in exactly as these are just some mom's I needed to do something with. Anyway, enough jabbering and on to the photos. Don't flame me too hard...haha. I'll update every couple weeks until they get the chop at 10 weeks/when I scope them and they look ready. Next thread I make will be with my room with 8k! Well, one of the rooms with 8k I mean, the other is still under construction.

That's it for all now everybody, hope you enjoy and I'll keep updating every couple weeks so I'm guessing that's about 4 more weeks. I always run BD and SD to 10 weeks. These are my two favorites out of everything I have. Oh, 100% legal Prop 215 grow. Man is it nice to live in Cali.

Thanks! I'm glad you like the pics. These are both from clone. The diesel clone is the original ECSD that came from a friend that opened one of the first collectives in SoCal, which he got it from, you guessed it...the east coast. The Blue Dream clone came from another collective here in SoCal, PNC maybe? I honestly can't remember now. I've been growing both for a few years so my memory is getting a little fuzzy. If you're in Cali I can point you in the right direction of where to get these.

sounds goood. i am not in cali! but its ok i will run into those strains when the time is right. happy smoking
 
Awsome resin production, those tops of nugs look frosty. Do you think the ACT's help alot with resin production?I love blue dream, it is awesome daytime smoke. Does the sour d grow more airy then say an og kush? I have a few sd's going in my closet and they seem to be just a tiny bit on the fluff side. Im sure it doesn't help that im using t5's but the last og's i had in there came out like rocks.

ACT definitely helps with resin production and I use lots of blackstrap molasses. Bomb genetics really helps too! The Sour D puts on all of her weight in the last two weeks. She'll go from small calyxes and lots off hairs to BAM in those last two weeks. Everything swells and really starts stinking then. She'll come out pretty close to OG density actually seeing as they're related, not quite as swollen of calyxes but close. Definitely won't be fluffy. She's the easiest to trim too. High calyx to leaf ratio. BD on the other hand is a bit more difficult to trim, lots of sugar leaves. Not fluffy either just more leaf than the SD.

I've done some awesome stuff with T5's. I like em actually. Don't get me wrong, I love my 1000's but I don't love my electricity bill...haha.
 
Well that is reassuring that you say the sd puts on the weight in the last two weeks cause im at week 5 and she is still fluffy. Im an all organic guy as well. Im using some EJ bloom, ewc, humbolt honey es, humbolt deuce deuce, and kelp. I dont think I will ever go back from organic. They are definitely frostier then i expected with t5's.. Pm'd a ? for you too.


So I hope you dont mind I added a pic of my Sd. Does she look ok to you? lol i think the picture makes her look denser. The sd is the two left ones, thats supposed to be an og kush on the right not sure what cut.

Yea, since SD is a 10 weeker she like's to wait until they very end basically. I know I hate watching her grow until those last few weeks. Its like, come on, come on...when's the weight coming...BAM....nice. Yours are looking great. Obviously you won't have the density of a 1kw but she'll still pack on some weight.

Organic is where's it at. I've ran hydro and just never liked the buds as much as organic. I like the weight of hydro but the smell and taste from organics just crushes hydro. Not saying I haven't smoked or grown amazing hydro meds, it's just that organic has that extra kick in those departments.

PM sent!

Well, I think I got worse at taking pictures...oh well. I know I said I was gonna take pics at 8 weeks but I got kinda busy. I'm about to move and setup a new spot that I'll be running all by myself. I've gotten tired of working with, well, not very smart and lazy people. It'll be for the better anyway. The new spot's gonna be around 4K veg and 8k flower. I think I might post up a build thread on that. I'll be building it all by myself too but I need to get the electrical done first. Anyway, here's some pics at I'm guessing ~9 weeks. I think these ladies are gonna get the chop around the 14th or the 15th. I'll post up pics after I chop and dry shots after that. Enjoy!

Im not trying to start shit but are your sure that is Sour Diesel?

ECSD and even Rez SD have very distinct calyxs, much larger than most plants. You can spot SD from a mile away. The caylx's even come thru in sour crosses, but to me that doesnt look like SD.

Yep, I'm sure. I've had this girl a few years and the guy I got it from got it years ago. She's still got a week or so to go and these last two weeks are when the calyx's will swell the most. Once you smell her, you'll know too. Straight diesel smell. I'll post up some trimmed and dry pics and you'll be able to tell better. You're also not gonna see massive calyx's as this is in organic soil, when I run her hydro the calyx's are much more swollen. They aren't the healthiest plants I've ever flowered either. These girls have had a pretty rough life.
