Day 100 / Day 48 of Flower So tomorrow marks week 7 on the dot since I started flowering. Really excited to see the buds start to swell up over the next 2 / 3 weeks. Tonight I watered with plain PH'd water, this weekend I will probably start with the flush for 2 weeks and harvest around week 9 - will monitor her and the trichomes and see how things go.

Got a little movement - directly into the soil feels a little less stressful than the method I used for the indoor comp (cotton wool). Possibly because the weather is warmer. Good luck to all the growers - hope your pips pop 🌱

They have bounced back nicely from the cat issue. Not huge a amount to show but want to keep feed alive. Will give nuits much later on at the moment its only water with some cal mag as our tap water is shite. I run a air pump in the water for a bit to help get rid of the cholrine ect.

Let me kick this off with a picture of some trichomes, as you can see these are clear - far from being ready. If I recall properly, they were from my Daquari Lime auto plant a few weeks ago. Entry #1: Excuse the watermark, that is from the software I used on my phone to take the pic with my microscope.

Top of the morning 420SA Beans cracked and tap roots emerged. Woohoooo! !![emoji16] 02/10/19 transferred beans to 10lit bags for eventual sexing. Lekker. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Weekly update. 95 days since Germination, around 24 days flowering. She received a little trim this evening, ready for final stretch. Currently about half a meter tall. Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk

Diary Update, week 18 (flower 7) Looking good, few spots of powdery mildew, but mostly gone. Seems what I read about ph'ing pm does work. Apparently the acid in lemon or vinegar stops and prevents pm. One if the colas is much whiter than the rest, read somewhere (here) that that's a deficiency, but rest seems ok, and I'm interested to see how it looks (and tastes obv.) dried & cured.

Moby Dick Week 3/11

Mic Check.

Diary update (2019/09/14) - flower day 45 (week 6) Four/five weeks left and things are looking reasonably good. I'm still taking off a few leaves every now and then when they look to be crowding the lower leaves. I had a small Ca deficiency issue but have increased the cal-mag and it seems to be better now - hard to say exactly as it shows up in the oldest leaves first, but no more with spots this week. The flowers are still filling in nicely, the lower ones slower than the top but still some progress

Diary Update, week 17 (flower 6) Did some, much needed, defoliation. Also reapplied spreaders to improve airflow and light penetration. Noticed spots of powdery mildew, so removed affected leaves and sprayed down with water + drop sunlight + couple Ts lemon juice. Don't want to do anything more extreme this close to harvest, and it's not affecting top of plant. Before After Close up

Week 17 What lies beneath Been a relatively easy going week but have started to notice the temps rising pretty drastically in the last few days, been rather warm in Joburg. She is becoming nice and bushy now with tight dank buds hugging the main stem, few pistils turning colour but still long way to go on the majority. Looking at the top view you would never think so much is happening beneath. I should get one HUGE cola with a couple nice size nugs one the outsides. Happy growing. P.S - What are the feelings on defoliating during flower?

#WinnerWinnerChickenDinner Congratulations to all the winners!

Morning All, I am new to growing and I am not a smoker. Sounds wacky but I am more interested in growing for pleasure and relaxation. I am a very keen gardener. It is an interesting plant. Sadly I just planted 7 seeds of which 1 died and the rest are not good seeds. Either they are old seeds but planted seeds before and have always been successful. I purchased them from a seed bank in CT. I shan't give their names as they cannot be blamed and i like the people there. Just purchased different cheeses and will see how I do. Take care.

There was some good feedback from my pollen post in the grow offs. So here's my second and final post for this month, going to stick to male shots as my theme😁 the pollen, from the king himself👑😏

Well, the pyrol really did a number on the plants, but they'll be ok. Went for a higher concentration (40ml/L) than lower (20ml/L), so the thrips are probably dead, at least. Will keep an eye on it. Not my most impressive grow by far, but I'm sure it'll bulk up a bit before the deadline, and be a decent little plant.

Soil is sorted.. Seeds have been dropped.. Dechlorinated water.. Keeping it Organic.. 🌻 Seeds dropped: 17h20 23/09/2019 Such an honor to be apart of this!!

An undercover cop called at my farm in the sticks yesterday evening... “I need to inspect your farm for illegally grown drugs”, he said. “By all means officer, just don’t go in that field over there”, I replied. The cop exploded, saying “Do you know who the fuck I am?! I have the authority of the government with me!”, he shouted before pulling a badge out of his back pocket, “Do you see this fucking badge?! This badge means I can do what I want and I’ll go wherever the fuck I want, have I made myself clear?!” I nodded politely, apologized, and went about my work. A short while later, I hear loud screams, looked up and saw the cop running for his life being chased by my angry bull. With each step, the bull was gaining ground and he seemed sure to be gored before he reached safety. The officer looked terrified and continued to run for his life. I threw down my tools, immediately ran to the edge of the fence and shouted at the top of my lungs, “Your badge, show him your fucking badge!”

Some delicousness from CannaSmiths.

Week 9: Chocolope 002 is on Ripening schedule since Tuesday the 8th of October. The Cola's have put out nicely over the last week. Will take measurements in the course of next week, just before harvesting.

Diary Update So no 6 is still doing well and the buds seem to be fatning up nice. Nothing to compare it against seeing that this is my first grow, but looks good to me

Couple of pics of the flowers

Week 7: Chocolope 002 is still yellowing up. I don't think she is a 10 week flower plant in hydroponics. Monitoring Tricom's at this point.

I'm camping a bit longer than expected! My friend watching the plants took this picture for me yesterday Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk

Thanks @Totemic, @Dank, @CreX. That is great news!

I think you are still good... A seed here and there won't ruin the harvest 👌 @Dank, lol all of my flowering plants are heavily seeded... Lucky I wasn't investing effort into them

I was trained earlier this week when I did this..... DUG a hole for 1 plant is greenhouse. Smoked a joint and talked to buddy. So we both decided it had to go bigger.... I love digging holes Mr. Smeegol, it sorts out issues lol. And the soil was soft and a breeze to dig out Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Soaked for 24H, none cracked. Planted 4 in 5l pots and 2 in 250ml pots.

Ok, well did pretty heavy defoliation, and moved to the square meter tent, and they're getting 220W of 3000K/660nm now. Left these guys stretching a bit too much in the 60*60 tent without any training, so they're a bit wacky. Chocolope on the left, and the Black Valley on the right. Looks like the BV needs some nitrogen or calmag. Chocolope looking pretty good other than whatever thrips remain after the neem oil. I'll finish them off with pyrol soon. The Black Valley didn't have any thrips, which is pretty interesting. Maybe not as tasty, with the yellowish leaves.

Day 90 / Day 38 of Flower So I did some defoliation by removing the larger fan leaves, help more light penetrate the buds. I feel I may have stunted the growth of the bud a bit by not doing this sooner - lesson learnt for next time.

Organics 🤙🤙🤙 Best of luck dude.

@Dank thanks for the info there bro! Totally with you in terms of flip dates and week counts, I am more confused because in all my previous grows at this stage my buds were always much much bigger! But i am attributing this to my soil mix and a couple other factors that took place. So I guess I'm not confused more disappointed 🙇‍♂️lol. Appreciate the kind words bud. Your baby is looking amazing btw🏋️‍♂️ As for my "better half" -let's hope she sees this comment- thank goodness she loves it as much as I do. I'd probably be very single if it weren't the case🤣🤣 Peace and clouds homie ✌💨🤘

Is that some light burn on the top? I have the same.

@highchome if you can cull that hermie could still be aight. I'd cover it with a bag (gently) before removing it. A mature bean takes 3 - 4 weeks to form, however a stressed plant could make smalle beans in less time, dont qoute me tho. Those look like some nanners and a few propper sacks, might not be shitloads of pollen. Hows the girl looking now, still seemed like she was pushing white pistils on your last update. Hang in there bro

Finally got everything and got around to mixing it, quite a satisfying task. And i think the end product looks fantastic. Can't wait to grow with this, thinking it needs something special.

@Smelly Joe I just messed around with topping, scrogging and some other stuff, because like I said it is not proper genetics and I actually just wanted to see if I could get the plants to grow and flower and learn at the same time - although I must say I wouldn’t mind to take a clone of my Indica, that plant just looks awesome and fat - I even split her stem in half at the knuckle where it was topped and “fixed” it with duct tape - worked like a charm and so I learned something

Much appreciated brother Smeegol. And thanx for the kind words about the garden. It's a small patch but my heart is there Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Digging your overall garden brother...

Apple cider vinager 10ml in 2lt water and 10ml hydrogen peroxide...

Pot of gold.. Will give my left nut if I could get hold of some seed. Might throw in some Exodus cheese clones too.. One of the more pleasurable tokes I've had.

I think you are going to have a hard time doing this, I think a lot of the roots will get damaged during the repotting as there are other plants and chances are the roots are intertwined with one another. If you are happy to take the risk and put in some effort trying to separate her from the rest. Although you really do not want to stress a plant during flower. I say, you can try repot her as an experiment to see what happens. Otherwise rather reveg her and if you want to repot her, doing so while she is vegging is better - but if you wait the roots will just continue to grow, making it harder. You can cut off a lot of the roots and then repot later though and then let her continue to veg and form more roots again.

Very true@CreX.@PsyCLown I'm not sure if that's the reason it was created/invented but I use it indoors and outdoors. Outdoor to get bottom branches up and growing and indoors to get main buds fat Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Week 16 Progress coming along, buds starting to fatten up nicely and starting to get super frosty. Her aroma is also starting to flood my entire room which the misses is really loving..... not.. 😉 Have a close look at the first pic and see the unicorn. That weird bud leaf is also getting bigger, I think it will fall off in a couple weeks to come tho, lol. This is going to be a race to the finish and I am really hoping I can make the cut off, next few week will be the decider. Happy Growing and good luck to everyone else.

Have another
