BigBearNTX Perpetual Auto Grow

[BigBearNTexas]

C99xBlueberry Fast is doing well. Supercropped once, may have to do a little bit more.

Pineapple Express is finishing up in the jungle that is the pool deck. She’s got some camouflage, but man is she stinky. I can imagine growing a bunch outside and stinking up the neighborhood.

The vape juice experiment worked...sorta. I had it pretty much perfect, and then I kept messing with it and added too much thinner. I’m not 100% pleased, but I’m learning. I’ll have it perfect with the next batch!

Vape juice pic. Looks like tar, tastes like burning, but it works.

That’s the plan!!!

Girls are having an extended lights out due to no power. Should be on later today, I hope.

Power came back last night. Girls had a 36 hour “night”, but will be back on schedule now. Should be fine.

Today’s pic is of my Grape Crush gummy bear army ready for their dry cure in the fridge.

Thanks Amy! I had one last night. One worked just fine to get me where I needed to be before bed. I am pleased!

[BigBearNTexas]

Yeah, four will get you there. Lol

I also was playing around with solid state THC pills and made a couple batches of Cana Sugar Pills. I have a thread on it in my signature. Basically you just drop you tincture in granulated sugar and let evaporate naturally until you get it to the strength you want. My only problem was I concentrated it too much and one pill leaves me couch locked. I may need to empty out my capsules and dilute down with more sugar.

They are really great and are handy when wanting to medicate in a stealth mode.

I like the sound of this. I have some green dragon laying around I keep fir colds and coughs. I never would have thought to just drop some on sugar. Amazing

I know I just updated yesterday, but I couldn’t help taking some pics this morning because who doesn’t love a baby pic!

CKS Northern Lights Auto dropped to soak on 3-1-18 poked her head up above the perlite yesterday.

Crop King Seeds Northern Lights Auto dropped to soak 3-1-18, put into hempy on 3-3-18, popped up...

Update on the LST of the Canuk Amnesia Auto. Taking the abuse like a champ. No need to adjust pegs this morning.

Canuk Seeds Amnesia Auto LST progress

The CKS Northern Lights Auto reflower seems to get starting to amber up by my eye, but can’t tell with the pic I took. I’ll pull her out into sunlight this weekend to double check progress. Still a scragglytoothed mess. Lol

Starting to get amber to the eye under the scope, not so much in the pic.

And last, the Fast Buds Pineapple Express Auto. Her leaves look old and she’s getting some rust spots. I flushed on Saturday and gave some light nutes on Sunday. I held off on some cal/mag, but I’m thinking that she’s going to get some home made calcium supplement and some Epsom salts with her watering tomorrow. Buds look good, but fan leaves are not where I want them to be. She still has some maturing to do and so I want her to be able to collect all the light she needs with those fans.

Leaves starting to look old. And getting some rust spots.

Loving that pineapple Express!

When didn’t produce much, but that’s my fault. I didn’t have room to do any training with her. Got maybe a half ounce.

The Cinderberry are getting frosty!

After a year and a half of being big free, I have critters in my tent. *sigh*

Fungus gnats. Little bastards.

I’m blaming the latest batch of coco coir, but it could have been from anywhere. The plants are well established and I don’t think the gnat larvae are going to do much damage, but it’s always better if they are gone.

Gonna get the soap spray out for the growing bits. And got some AzaMax for drenches. May pick up a Pyrethrin as well or spinsad to rotate through.

 

[nobodyhere]

Shit man. Welcome to the club. Gnats are not really too big a deal. Easy to kill.

Figure since we are going tropical this summer....lol.

I’m not as concerned because the plants going are well established, but I don’t want them hanging around and infesting the next grow.

I seem to have crossed the line with my medium and have too much coco. I may run all perlite for a while. Nothing for fly larvae to eat in straight perlite.

Update time!

Bug update: did a AzaMax drench on Wednesday and have been spraying the top of the coco with spinosad. I’ll do a regular feed/water today and I’ll do another AzaMax drench mid week. That will be about 7-8 days between drenches, which should be okay. I would do another drench today, but they need feeding more than they need bug killing. I’ve also got sticky traps on all the pots, and have caught very small amount of adult gnats, so I’m hoping that I caught this early.

Pineapple Express Auto (Fast Buds): after harvesting most of the PE two weeks ago, I left some of the lower larfy buds on the plant and let it continue to grow. Not worth it. I may get a couple grams out of it, but not with the time. Gonna harvest the little bit left and toss the plant today.

C99xBlueberry FAST, a.k.a. “ Cinderberry” (Seedsman): pulled the girls out of the tent to get a better picture. Maturing well, as far as I can tell. I think these are going to be pretty dense buds. It looks like I’ll be getting some stakes to help prop these girls up. They have been leaning on each other and the walls of the tent for support, but that can trap moisture, so I’ll give them some better support.

Note on measurement, I’m using measurement from the floor, not plant height, because that’s the measure that matters for me most, because I can only raise my lights to 48 inches, or 1.22m. Subtract 8 inches or 20cm if you want height of the plant. Tallest cola is about 44 inches, or 1.12 meters. In my tent, that is a monster! I put the shorter plant directly under the light and have the taller ones on the edge, so far no issue with light burn, since the taller colas are getting more indirect light. Doesn’t seem to stop them from developing, I’m paying for my error early on when I vegged too long. I think if I had flipped at 4 weeks, they would have finished their stretch at the perfect height for my tent, at about 40 inches, or so.

Always love to see plants out and about!
