Things are looking good. Those last two pictures are especially beautiful. What strain is that?

Thanks! Those last 2 photos are Gorilla Glue #4. Its definitely a very beautiful plant! One photo is with lights and flash on, one is with limited lighting and no flash.

It looks good in both of the pictures. I really like the light green calyxes with the medium green leaves. It is frosting up nicely Did you acquire it as a clone or did you buy seeds of it? I have seen it in seed form and have wondered if it would live up to the hype of the original clones.

Yea I really dig the structure of the leaves and the buds... really nice looking plant. What funny is I never have smoked gorilla glue before, but bought it because the hype where a year or 2 ago everyone was talking about it. I got it from clone, so it most likely is the real deal.

You lucky SoB. I want those clone-only strains so bad! Vaped GG#4 for the first time this winter and it's totally worth the hype!
They look so mature for day 30. Great job!

I haven't tried it either but hear only good things. I see certain strains that are clone only that are fantastic and then have a seed version of it come out that doesn't live up to the clones. I have only seen girl scout cookies grown from seed and while it was good it wasn't the be all end all strain everyone made it out to be. Because of this I haven't run out to order gorilla glue seeds without seeing others grow it from seed first.

Yea that definitely is a nice thing to be able to find good cuts.. I think I lucked out with this last batch as they all seem to be legit.

I've had a lot of disappointments though with clones... from wrong labeled, to receiving male plants, to bugs and pm so its definitely a sigh of relief right about this time in flowering when those terps start kicking strong...

I gave them the brush the other day to smell and wow, that gg4 smells very kushy and chocolate and very excited to try it

I also really dig the trainwreck as it smell unbelievable right now... and is absolutely caked with trichomes... really excited to try it too.

Nice update. I always have been a fan of your vids. KIG.

Hey Big Sparks! Yea I like doing the vids too because it gives more personality to my grows, allows me to show a different perspective of the garden plus allows me to talk without having to type it all out. (I'm using a backup keyboard lately as my other one broke and its horrible) LOL

I appreciate you for tuning in

I definitely am happy how things are looking so far Its definitely a challenge keeping so many strains happy and healthy in such a small grow area but definitely so far things are looking great

Yeah it must be hard to please so many different girls. I had 3 clones from strain a and 2 plants from strain b, one seed one clone, and i havent made it due a lack of time for different nutrient solutions (chems). One strain was super sensitive and the other pretty robust.

How do you manage the feeding on your grows with so much varieties? Have to watch your video now... You may remember me telling you were a big inspiration to me when i started... and still are for breeding and stuff

Edit: great video as always. Really enjoy your grows.

I found this research abstract today while cleaning up my internet browser bookmarks. Must have forgotten all about it but very interesting effects of far red light on tomatoes.

ISHS Acta Horticulturae 1134: VIII International Symposium on Light in Horticulture
Far-red LEDs improve fruit production in greenhouse tomato grown under high-pressure sodium lighting
Authors: X. Hao, C. Little, J.M. Zheng, R. Cao
Keywords: light-emitting diodes, Solanum lycopersicum, supplemental light, far-red light, yield, anti-oxidants
DOI: 10.17660/ActaHortic.2016.1134.13
Abstract:
A study was conducted from November 2014 to April 2015 in a greenhouse (192 m2 growing area) to investigate the effects of far-red LED light on plant growth, fruit yield and quality of greenhouse tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Twin-head (stem) transplants of tomato cultivar 'Foronti' grafted on rootstock cultivar 'Stallone' were planted into six twin-rows at 2.8 stems m-2 in the greenhouse in late November The two outside twin-rows were used as the guard row while the four middle twin-rows were divided into 16 experimental plots (24 stems per plot). Four far-red LED treatments which provided 0 (control), 8, 16, and 24 µmol m-2 s-1 of far-red photon flux were applied to the 16 plots in a Latin-square design with 4 replications. Overhead high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps provided 165 µmol m-2 s-1 of PAR to all the plots in the greenhouse. The application of far red light and overhead HPS supplement light was started in early December with a consistent photoperiod of 16 h (1:00 to 17:00 HRS). Both lighting systems were automatically shut-off when outside global solar radiation was >300 W m-2. All 3 far-red light treatments increased the stem length in the early but not in the late stage of the greenhouse trial. Fruit yield in the first month of fruit harvest was increased by all three far-red treatments. However, the increase diminished in the second and third month of fruit harvest. The fruit harvested from the plants exposed to far-red light also had higher carotenoid content. Therefore, this study showed some beneficial effects of low dose of far red light in early stage of fruit production of greenhouse tomatoes grown under HPS lighting.

Quick photo update for day 44 flowering from the flip. Nothing really else right now to report on

Frosting up nicely.. You need a rake in there.. You could even have a bon fire with that pile of leafs.. You sure do have a tent full,
Drive by, I hope you have a Great 420 Holiday'' Wake and Bake and Keepem Green

Haha! yea I was pulling leaves before the photo and doing a little cleanup I usually sweep them up and throw them into my soil bin...

Those buds are falling all over in there, especially the monster racefuel og which has about 20 main tops falling every which way...

Happy 420 brotha!!!
