Ive heard but not tested though, that leaf trichs turn faster than bud trichs. Maybe grab a small nug. I always hated trying to scope a bud while growing. I just cut off a bud and check it. Then u got a test joint too! Once u know ur strain good enough u wont have to rely on the scope if u don't want to.

Those buds are looking close to done. Id think u don't have long.

Here's a stupid question: Say you use a 25ml shot glass to measure out your "organic nutes".. so your doing your thing measuring out shit, you realise "oh fuck just poured a shot of that but I dont need it, so Ill pour it back in..." and you do... but you've been using one shot glass and just rinsing it under the tap between nutes... then it hits you "ahh fuck could any of that tiny bit of chlorinated water in the shot glass over time wreck your whole 5L bottle of SeaGro??"

To many bongs..?

actually a good thought to avoid contamination but a couple drops of tap water is no big deal. Just don't make a regular occasion out of it. Cause eventually those drops might add up to teaspoons, and maybe start effecting ur nutrient. Whats worse is if u don't rinse between nutes and u add a few drops of nutrient from another bottle into a different bottle of nutrients. Then they can bind with each other and lock them out. That's why certain nutes are bottled separately.

What really sucks is when u double dose the res. Then u have to either add double the nutrient and take half the res water and add twice the water to get the right mix. Or completely dump and refill the res. It sucks but aint the end of the world or anything.

@Mirac.... shot brah, thats what I was thinking, fuck, only happened once... plus the shit is so thick most of the water was trapped under a layer a fishy shit that was stuck all over the inside of the glass... then just rinsed the glass through the bucket anyways... will try not to make the same mistake again...

I'm talking about the tiny leaflets that are part of the bud.

 

[SmellyFlorist]

@RetroBro... last night just I fed and trained.... just tried to place the bud close to the lights and not overlapping... takes a bit of effort lol.... used a bit of fishing line to pull the tops of the BD's down towards the lights in a downwards diagonal line... if that makes sense... they've stretched quite a bit more than the cheese, and Iv even raised the cheese on those them bricks you see...

Ill defo start looking at some leaves, lil pair of scissors, and just snip a tiny sugar trim leaf off of each strain and check nightly... actually pretty excited by this... so its like the sugar you'd be trimming off into your bubble bags anyway...?

Stoked...

 

[RetroGrow]

Snip a tiny piece of bud "leaf", those little triangular leaves that make up the buds, without ruining the bud. That's what you want to look at. Quarter inch long. Not the sugar leaves, although those can be helpful also.

@Retro... right bro, got in there... took a tiny leaf off a bud of each cut... the buds where "big' buds near the top and close to the light... actually these were more like 1/8 inch... no more than 4mm in length... I actually had to go in there twice.... coz first time round I couldn't remember which piece belonged to which when I had gotten out...

These pics are of the HSO Blue Dream s1.... only the top pic is the top of the leaf... honestly to stoned to remember which way the leaf was facing... does it matter?

 

[SmellyFlorist]

And these four pics are of the cheese... all pics are of the bottom of the "leaf"... there actually weren't many trichomes on the top side...

Still looks a good week, maybe two off from being ready....?? Remembering I don't really want the high to be too stoney...

 

[RetroGrow]

Yeah, the BD look mostly clear, but a couple amber. Cheese getting cloudy. Time to start flushing. Water only. Check some lower down also, and start checking them daily to see the progression. You'll know they are done when they are 20% amber. Flush time!

Last night we had our first load shed[power cut] at night, from 20:00 to 21:45... my lights come on at 18:00... tonight I switch the whole fucking thing on, 18:10 the power cuts... Sick of these fucking monkeys who are running this country into the ground... seriously, they a bunch of wannabe terrorist who couldn't even organise their own fucking coup and had to get the Russians and the North Koreans to teach them how to load AK's in mozam and other god forsaken places, and then claim that it was a giant struggle and bullshit everyone into believing you won shit when its was a hand over due to international sanctions... the only struggle is in me trying to fathom how the fuck these people think.... this country has a power problem, not because only a few people had it before 94, but because the muppets in power now haven't developed anything with regards to industrial development and the power thats needed to fuel that... not because more houses now needs lights like that chop Jacob will have you believe... its industrial development thats causing the lack of power... yet when "they" load shed they don't turn off the industrial zones on the grid... how do I know this... a friend who works for his dad an lives at their factory has confirmed this... its only agricultural and residential zones that get turned off... nice fucking one monkeys... these stupid fucks are to worried about changing the names of roads and have trips abroad buying clothes for their six fucking wives that are created by perhaps some of the most influential people in western culture than running the fucking country... so now, I sit in complete fucking darkness bar my screen[laptop] thats covered in mozzies and moths and even bees and my girls are at 7,5 weeks, you all mite laugh but Iv put some effort into this lil fag closet grow in the middle of no where, I would really like to see a reward from it all.... Im cursing everyone who works for eskom and a government department right now... go buy yourself a big bag of dicks and all go fuck yourselves...

 

[SmellyFlorist]

What am I spose to do... put fucking candles in the room....

 

[Rooibard]

Hey bru hang on there! Remember theres cloudy days in nature all the time so ur plants wont freak out on it; its the dark perioid u need to keep consistant..
On other note genny to run ur lights and vents is not gonna cost u arm and a leg... Trust me bru Ive seriously considered that route to keepthings in check... Then long run full off the grid is the way to go specially for us living in sunny side of the world

Buds looking good power or no power!

Peace

SmellyFlorist - good work on the cheese for such a low watt count. Cut or bean of it?

 

[SmellyFlorist]

@Dognponyshow... howzit... thanks for the kinda words... the cheese I have is a cut...

 

[SmellyFlorist]

Day 58 complete...

The three above pics are of the Exodus...

And then these two are the HSO Blue Dream s1...

Iv started the flush... temps have been around 26-27dC and mid 60's in RH %.... kinda happy with how things are turning out... need I not remind you of last run....

 

[RetroGrow]

How do the trichs look on those HSO Blue Dream?
Those should finish before the Cheese by possibly a week. That's only 5 more days. Only the trichs know for sure.
Leaves that are totally yellow, pull them off. Buds look nice. When you pull the BD out, there will be more room/light for the Cheese.

 

[SmellyFlorist]

All pics lights on day 59.... I took tiny leaf cuts off five of the ten plants... every second plant... starting on the left hand side[no1] and running clock wise till the cheese plant thats in the door way is plant no10... plants 1-4 and 9 are the cuts of the HSO Blue Dream. Plant 5-8 and 10 are cuts of the "Exodus Cheese"...

I took three pics of each leaf... its probably between 120-140 mag...

These three pics are of plant 1... Blue Dream

 

[SmellyFlorist]

These three pics are of plant 3, Blue Dream
