I have 2 Twilight, 1 Superskunk and 2 SLH.

In that last pic I posted, the 2 twilight are on the left, the SS is in the back right, and the 2 SLH are front right

TWI and SS are supposed to go 50-55 days... I expect they might take a little longer, so I am planning on a 60 day target for both at this point, so I will begin flush around day 50-52. I am going to be using AN Overdrive here with the SS and TWI for next feeding, and then use AN's Final Phase for the final 10 days. O

Overdrive is supposed to lengthen the maturation process so you can let them go a little longer and they are supposed to get a little bigger. I am already starting to see that second phase of flowering where the buds start to grow a little wider and begin to fill out. I am excited to see how they react to Overdrive. And of course, with Final Phase, once applied it is supposed to immediately inhibit nutrient uptake and then begin to use all excess nutrients.

As for the SLH, I plan to take them 70-75 days, so I plan to start Final Phase around day 60ish.

I of course will make all final judgement based off of the conditions of the trichomes, but it is nice to have a target date to go after.

The bagseed I will just have to do my best on... its looks like it will finish faster than the slh, but possibly not as quick as the rest, so I am thinking 65 or somewhere around there. She doesn't get much light so that could also be a factor.

:Namaste:

The buds are growing in very different for each plant but both of them do not get the light they deserve. Fortunately, as I have said before, they will finish after the others so at least they will get direct light for 2 weeks or so. They look great though, for how little light they end up getting.
 
I forgot to post my feed log from Saturday!!

It is mayhem in there. I really need to prepare for support for the next run because I have branches just all over the place. I do my best to tuck fan leaves and get budsites enough free room but it is a lost cause. There are plenty of budsites/branches that just don't get the light they should to thrive. I think I would really benefit from tomato cages at this point so I might go pick some up. I also could have done a much better job at trimming the lower growth as I see there will be lots of small useless buds at the very bottom of mainly the twilights.

Anyways... they got their first feeding of Overdrive. I ceased using the bigbud for the 2 TWI and 1 SS. I will run the overdrive for about 2 weeks, and then begin a flush. I am excited to see how they react to the overdrive. There is no question I burned them a little with the bigbud (even though I never gave them a full doseage, so I am keeping the Overdrive at a little under 3/4 strength for the first few applications, and then I'll give them full doseage for their last 2 applications. I plan on doing a 10 day flush, maybe a little longer. I will have to start watching the trichomes closely around day 52 and on. The target date for flush at this point is day 53.

:Namaste:
 
Also, I am going to begin trying to really lower the temps both with lights on and off.

Up until now I have had the temps at about 81-82 while lights are on, and 78 while lights are off.

I am going to eat the electricity cost and pump the ac so I can hit 77-78 with lights on and 74 with lights off. Not sure how much effect this will have on the girls, but I might as well try and make their conditions as comfortable as possible before their impending doom :)
 
Hey dude ur plants are looking like beauties man! I was wondering if u have an a/c inside the grow area? Or the house a/c? And when u put, for example : slh2-2L. Is that how much water u r using per water? Anyways can't wait to see ur harvest. GL
 
lol

Well, tonight will be day 43.

The twilight and superskunk are supposed to go 55 days but im thinking more like 60.

I just started giving them Overdrive, which is a real nice bloom booster that is supposed to harden the buds up and make them fill in very nicely. I am supposed to run that for two weeks, so I will cease that around day 50-52 and then begin a flush.

I am goin 2 the hydrostore shortly and picking up a nice 40x scope so I can start to look at trichs and see where I am at.

The Twilight are really starting to pack on the trichomes so I am happy about that.

I dont like to take lots of pics mainly because the closet is absolutely filled with buds and I don't really have a quality branch support system so essentially everything is leaning on everything else in there, and it takes a good 30 mins to get everything set whenever I move something in there. I do not like touching or maneuvering the colas as I want to keep as many trichs intact as possible, but mainly its just a huge pain in the ass to move them out for pics, and then move them back in and get all the colas setup properly and none of them being covered by fan leaves. I will probably pull the twilights and superskunk out 2 more times for pics before harvest. I am feeding the twilights and superskunk tonight and I won't pull them out, but I'll snap some pics of them for the next feeding. Although, I have to pull the twilight3 out to feed the twilight2 and superskunk so I may snap some good pics of twilight 3 while shes out.

Anyways, I fed SLH1 and SLH2 last night. Here are pics from DAY 42 FLOWERING.

Here is bud of SLH1

So they have about another 30-33 days left (target of 75 days) and I will begin the overdrive soon so they should really start to fill in nicely with that!!

Clearly 2 diff phenos... very cool shit :)

Here is a pic of the closet before the lights came on yesterday. This is what I am trying to handle lmfao.

2012-09-15_19-01-58_178.jpg


The closet is 3.5' wide by 4.5' deep, and it is completely full. I am seriously considering a 1000w for the next run. We will see.
 
Hey dude ur plants are looking like beauties man! I was wondering if u have an a/c inside the grow area? Or the house a/c? And when u put, for example : slh2-2L. Is that how much water u r using per water? Anyways can't wait to see ur harvest. GL

No AC inside the grow area.

I use the house AC, and the closet ends up having a passive intake underneath the door and it works great. My inline fan is rated at 400cfm... my room is about 140cfm and my carbon filter is rated at 220 cfm. I run my inline fan at about 80% power so I have more than enough help in that aspect.

I have been running my AC while lights on at 74 degrees, and when lights off at about 77 degrees. When lights are on, the temps inside the closet are at 78 and lights off about 75.

As long as you have efficient and properly rated extraction of air from the growspace you are growing in, you generally will never go more than 4 degrees over ambient/surrounding temps.

And as far as the feed logs, yes... I either make a 2gal mix for the twilights and superskunk, or a 1gal mix for the SLH's.

They are ALL in 5 gal pots, and they can only take about 2L of the mix before they have a good amount of runoff and they are soaked to saturation.
 
I want my closet to look like yours! Who needs clothes when you've got nugs like that?

I think I'll try and run some SLH on my next go round. That strain has always impressed me with it's resin production, even early in flowering. It looks like its treatin' you very well.

Looking great in here, glad i subbed. Be safe my friend. :peace:
 
UPDATE

Saturday 9/16 - 9:30pm DAY 43 FLOWERING

27ml iguana juice bloom
14ml overdrive
8ml liquidcarboload

TWI3 - 2L

TWI2 - 2L

SS1 - 2L

I gave them a near full strength dose of Overdrive. I am going to push them as much as I can towards the end! :)


Here is a TWI3 nug on Day 43 flowering.

2012-09-16_22-08-21_854.jpg


Definitely not as resinous as the SS or SLH, but shes starting to really frost up. Especially TWI2, definitely more resinous than TWI3 at this point. I have no concerns though, they are really starting to explode and fill in.
 
Feed Log:

Wednesday 9/19 - 9:30pm DAY 46 FLOWERING

2gal water

14ml calmag
27ml iguana juice bloom
14ml overdrive
8ml liquidcarboload


pH 6.4

TWI3 - 2.1L

TWI2 - 2.2L

SS1 - 2.1L

BG1 - 1.25L

TWI2 was all over the place so I ended up tying her vertically to hold her colas in place under the light, i probably should have done that at least a week or so ago but at least I ended up doing it and now more of her heads are under the light/not falling over SS1 and TWI3.

I was again reminded of the poor job I did at lollipopping as all plants have a lot of undergrowth that won't end up being much at all due to how packed in there they are and not enough light penetration to go around. I will definitely correct my issues for the next go around.

I end up spending most of my time ensuring no buds are touching and all the tops etc are getting proper light, all the while bumping into other nugs, in fact my chin rubbed up against an SLH cola while adjusting branches and it was quite the pleasant smell haha.

Anyway,

I purchased this scope from the store a few days ago:

1663380424519.png


It is 40x, and works ok, but its really a pain to get the trichs in focus, I can just barely make out the heads. I went ahead and ordered this one today:

1663380430441.png


It is 60x-100x and should be optimal for viewing the trichs close up.

From what I can see they are 50/50 cloudy/clear for the most part. No amber whatsoever. It looks like I will get in about 2 more regular feedings of the end of bloom nutes (overdrive) and then begin a flush around day 53.

No pics tonight, I'll get some of the super lemons when they get fed tmrw night.

:Namaste:
 
Feed Log:

Thursday 9/20 - 9:00pm - DAY 47 FLOWERING

1gal

15ml iguana juice bloom
9ml calmag
6ml bigbud
4ml liquidcarboload

pH 6.2

SLH1 1.9L

SLH2 - 1.9L

I had to tie up SLH2 as she is literally all over the place... again terrible support system by me... things are so packed and crazy in the closet pretty much every branch is supporting another branch for the most part. You can imagine the chaos I have to endure when I pull one or two out for pictures... I spend an inordinate amount of time repositioning them.

That said, I got my 60x-100x scope in the mail already... the day after I ordered it.

Both SLH, while still having time to go, are about 60/40 clear/cloudy. I will begin overdrive on them next feeding and that will run about 2 weeks and then a 10 day flush. I think they might finish earlier than I expected after looking at the trichs.

The twilights and the superskunk will get another 2 feedings of the overdrive and then begin flush. I started overdrive on DAY 39, it is now DAY 47 and they are really liking it... I see another set of calyxes blooming, with fresh white hairs, and I can begin to see the formation of another round here in a few days.
