Nice, looking good.

My cut of sugarcane is ready for harvest end of week 9. It is a rather quick flowering strain I feel.

As for flushing, eh... not really needed, upto you whether you want to.

You really need to check the trichomes to tell whether it is ready to be cut or not.

I use a USB microscope to check my, much easier for me this way. It can be a challenge with a phone and clip on lens.

I also have some Groveloc bags, still very curious s to how they actually work and ensure the humidity stays in a specific zone.

I do not trust them 100%, so I stick the bud inside the bags with a boveda just incase.  

I also got a larger one, so then I can stick different strains into ziplock bags, leave the zip part open and put them all into the groveloc bag with a boveda for easier storage than multiple jars.

I still have jars though.

The Groveloc bags also helps contain the smell.

My man.
Thank you very much for the guidance! As always much appreciated 
I will definitely apply those techniques to ensure a proper harvest, I was a bit gentle with the clean up on the Blunicorn to be honest. So she will definitely get a nice shave.
The Jelly Breath is a lanky ass plant. I haven't had one plant before that had such crazy internodal spacing. 
I also picked up that the Blunicorn is rather sensitive to overwatering? Not necessarily the frequency but the volume per watering... Did you pick up the same?

@John Stonedwell Looking good!

Based on my experiences, I would say try keep the Jelly Breath colas as even and flat as possible to maximize yield. It is easy for one cola to get ahead and then with the stretch it leaves all the other behind. Try as much as possible to keep the plant compact and canopy flat with training during the stretch. Also try stake it - good to do this end of week 2 to week 3.

For the Blunicorn get rid of any of the lower branches / suckers as which are not at the top of the canopy and clean up the plant nicely at the bottom to prevent an excess of small buds.

unbuffered coco leaches calcium big time... but nothing 2 weeks of adding calmag every feed wont fix, the coco WILL get full of calcium.

i use the Haifa range of nutes and i add a bit of Ca EDTA and a bit of epsom salts per feed - as well as the Haifa Duo which is Calcium and potassium. so double Ca

but its not double, its just half and half really.

The Calcium EDTA, being chelated, won't be leeched by the coco I believe so is available to the plants while the calmag helps buffer the coco slowly.

If the coco is properly pre-buffered then calcium shouldn't be as much of an issue and one could continue with normal feeding schedule. Once my coco is buffered, following GHE tri-part chart works well... That being said GHE is also calcium EDTA mainly I believe, I think it is a mix and not just calcium EDTA.

LST works well for autos, have done this a few times before.  Works well for photoperiods too, however more labour intensive than multi-topping, especially if you have a lot of plants.

Drying and curing is very important! I do not feel anyone can argue there.

Boveda's are awesome though. I ain't got time to burp multiple jars each day, stick a boveda in and be done with it.

I rehydrate my bovedas as well when they start drying out - I have yet to have to throw away a Boveda.

Unless you have a way to safely rehydrate your bud, I feel you should try avoid overdrying it as it can become harsh (in my experience) and a Boveda will never rehydrate it fully back to the state where it is sticky enough to stick to other bud.

Also the way you smoke your bud determines who wet one likes it, personal preference comes into play - just like how it does with biltong. Not everyone likes wet biltong. Some like it dry dry.

You will also never get wet biltong in a prepacked bag.

so this all just made my mind jump back to a video I saw a while back, it's mr. canuk on youtube and the situation here is he is growing autos and had to find the least stressing way to get side branching to catch up with the rest and here was his solution. no need for cutting at all, but I guess this isn't gona give more nodes. 

 

How well did this actually work? Did the lower branches catch up in height?

@Naughty.Psychonaut Fimming does not necessarily mean it will leave you with 3 nodes / branches.

Fimming is basically where you do not remove the node completely, however you are still removing that apical dominance. The name could be better, whether it sticks around - I guess we'll see in a few years.

With topping the node is removed completely.

I have just gained so much more resistance to that term, it's literally the same thing. 

does this even exist anywhere else in plant terminology or is it just with cannabis growers? 

cause if it's just with cannabis growers I am going to laugh. all plants get topped, so there better be a FIM of all plants.... let's see

FIM can be applied to all plants.

It isn't quite the same thing.

FIM you still leave that top node there, it still grows into a branch. You are not removing it completely.

So say there are 3 small nodes, you almost remove the biggest one and you still end up with those 3 nodes fully developing.

With topping, if there are 3 nodes you would remove the one to force more growth to the remaining 2.

When you FIM you still remove that apical dominance without removing that node.

They both lead to similar / same results in the sense that they both lead to bushier plants. FIM should lead to more nodes though.

This is a top as that node was removed completely, forcing growth to the remaining 2 nodes below. You'll end up with these 2 nodes becoming main colas.

A FIM would still lead to 3 main colas.

How does this even mean "fuck I missed" what did you miss? if you plucked it, you plucked it, you didn't miss it? what am I not getting?

at least with my explination, which was just one of the 100's I have heard, it's more fitting as when you realise a certain shoot taking off faster it means that one has not been toppen, hence "missed"... 

FIM is when you do not fully top the node, hence "fuck I missed" but the way it was cut allow the plants to push multiple branches / colas still due to the way you cut it... but that top node was not removed completely, like it would have been with a topping.  

The images I posted above might help make more sense of it. I think majority of people top and very few FIM.

FIM and top is similar, but there is a difference. Cannot say I have ever done a FIM.

Topping removes the node to allow the two bottom nodes to become the main brancehs / colas.

FIMing is to get multiple growth points from that node. Where you cut is the deciding factor between the two.

At least this is how I have always understood it. As mentioned, I just top.

Just started listening to this, really enjoying it so far.

When did you put the plant outside? It is also flowering.

Wondering if they are autos or just went out and started flowering and now need to reveg.

I'd also move the lights a bit closer to the plants. You said they were cheapies, so possibly not the highest PPFD output.

Not that veg plants need much but who knows what PPFD you're actually getting out of those lights.

As for your signature, not sure if PHP will work in a signature. Possibly only BB code.

@420SA Perhaps you can confirm?

@Ponica Very nice! May be a bit gimmicky, but it is a project and something fun.

Perhaps it could develop as times goes on  

Remote access to adjust lights might not be needed much or often but nice to have, remote monitoring of the  temp and RH is useful.

Lux as a measurement in generally isn't of much use, if you could monitor the PPFD that would be far more useful but even then not necessary really and won't be cheap either.

LOL! I will definitely keep you in mind bud. I must say... I can't wait to sample the end product. 12 individual nugs to sample of your own creation sounds like heaven right about now.

Maybe I will run some kind of promotional PC cup where you guys help choose the winning pheno.

Will cuts of the winning pheno ever be distributed?

Well, firstly the plant is probably in a bit of shock due to the roots being messed with.

Also I find a drastic change with the medium (like going from hydro to soil / coco or visa versa) can also put the plant into a bit of shock and it takes time to adapt.

Lastly, did you mix nutes at the correct strength and did you PH the solution correctly? PH is very important when going hydro or coco.

The plant is also busy flowering so will need a bit of time to reveg and come right. Provided the nutes and PH are fine and the roots are in the water then give it a few weeks to adapt and reveg. Once it is back in veg growth should start to explode. I'd say 2 to 3 weeks for a recovery.

@Naughty.Psychonaut I agree with you there and have also noticed that trance is split into many sub-genres or whatever you want to call them and people can get rather fussy with what is being played.

However some people and events do not care and it is changes as the DJ changes. lol

Tech and Techno, didn't get them mixed up. You used both though.

I feel the genres and sub-genres exist to help people make mention of a specific type of music.

If we classified all electronic music under Techno or all Trance music just under Trance then it becomes a bit of a shit show. Talking to people about music and you're both talking about totally different genres, like one talking about some house music and the other hardstyle. lol

Minimal can be cool too and is rather close to techno. It generally is a slower music, like house.

Techno, minimal and even house at times can be rather repetitive however I think that is what most enjoy about it and techno in particular can have a driving beat to it and it makes it easier to dance to.

I find some of the mixes you posted a bit too repetitive for me, skip through it and it does change a bit but overall is a lot of the same. There are aspects of it which I do still enjoy and I could jam to it for a bit but I would struggle to do so for an extended period of time.

One of the best parts about music is that it varies and there is likely something out there for everyone to enjoy. There is a lot of music out there which I do not enjoy, it is just too slow or boring but its really popular shit and others enjoy it a lot.

Awesome, I also see you applied sulphur on the 24th Oct. Was this a spray or was it a burner or some kind?

@Naughty.Psychonaut Not really the stuff I listen to anymore. A little bit now and then is fine, but I think I may have screwed myself over by going to ESP as often as I use to a few years back.

It just got a bit much and I started venturing away from the psytrace / goa / High Tech stage - whatever you wanna call it. I feel one could clump it under Psytrance with the various sub-genres like more music genres have.

Drum n Bass is no difference with the jump up, jungle and liquid sub-genres.

I find Drum n Bass and the sub-genres to be quite varied and I enjoy that. It even gets a bit commercial at times.

The exact same happens with techno too, quite a few sub-genres.

Now what you call techno, is it what I call techno?

Keeping in mind you do get different types of techno.

The above to me is what I would classify as techno.

Quite a few dislike it and find it too repetitive and it can be at times, but it does not have to be.

House, well, soo many sub genres there but I do enjoy some more housey music as well.

Cool,but on the flipside there are some plants that are super resistant -  Im always having issues, will have to invest in new extraction and circulation fans - plus im close to the sea, wonder if that also contributes.

Anyways I have finally found a strain that doesnt get mold,so I will prob just run that inside until I can find another strain.Strain is Critical mass cheese, but I noticed that cheese in general doesnt get mold even when my other plants show.

I have 3 x 1.2m mom plants in a 80cm tent, the cheese refuses to grow mold and the other 2 have spots of mold.

Being by the sea, your RH is likely higher in general and that may affect you negatively.

Airflow and temps would become even more important. 

Environment plays a big role, I have seen grows with a tent packed tightly and fan leaves staying on for duration of flower without PM simply due to the fact that the RH, temp and fan is controlled well. No IPM either.

Add IPM and it can make a big difference and make life much easier.
