Icemud's Grow 4.0 - High Brix Focus with Gas Lamp Routine - V-Scrog

Wow...time really flys when your stressed from work...lol Time for a smoke :) So I apologize to everyone for my "break" from here for a week, things are going well with the ladies except for my back left blue dream which seems to have wanted to drop a lot of leaves and turn semi brown on me...??? Not really sure why that overnight the leaves looked deflated and they seemed to look like they were starved of water which may be possible because I was about 2 days late on watering them but I am not quite sure? The buds and smaller leaves are not effected and it only was a lot of the fan leaves so I am just going to keep on feeding her as normal and hope that things get better. My first thought were thrips, but I didn't see anything on my stickys, flying around or even crawling around on the buds so I don't think its a pest related thing... Maybe I stripped too many nutrients out of the soil with the flush that I did even though I did follow them up with a small dose of 1-1-1 fertz to give them something immediate to feed on... I'm sort of puzzled.

Other than the one plant, all the others are looking really nice...

Nice density, I can tell those buds are rock hard.

Thanks Mcloadie! Yeah the buds are definitely dense and I can't wait until they are finished so I can try them out :)
 
Looking good Icemud! Your buds look nice and frosty and close to being finished. You're gonna have some mighty nice smoke by the looks of it. Peace

Later today when the lights come on I am going to do some trichome checks and see where they stand, I most likely will also post some magnified shots of the trichomes with my camera and 30x lupe...definitely have to get one of those USB microscopes in the future :)
 
they look amazing ice!! now i dont feel so bad that i have not been around as much been down hard with the flu for almost 2 weeks starting to feel better tho,:thumb:

Aw man, I'm sorry to hear your sick man.... I hope your feeling better now... I usually don't get the flu but when my stomach is in knots I usually find smoking herbals helps quite a bit to calm the stomach as well as helps me cope better with the body drained feeling :) Health to you my friend!! :)

I also have heard that zinc helps to rid the flu faster.. I usually take a combo of vitamin C, echennacia, ginger, garlic powder, zinc, olive leaf extract and andrographis. This time it had me feeling better within 3 days when I was sick a few weeks ago.

Get well soon buddie!
 
Great looking buds Ice!!! That BD is just balding premature (I know how it feels...lol)

Damn BID, I'm sorry that this illness has been taking a toll out on you, but I am happy to hear that you are recovering and on the way to health again. Positive vibes and healthy thoughts coming your way!!! :)
 
Hey Ice are you using any Dextrose in your foliar sprays?

I was using AN's liquid carbo load which is 5 simple sugars including dextrose, but haven't sprayed them since around day 30 of flowering.
 
Alright everyone... Here is my well overdue update on my grows and I apologize for the delay everyone. Been in a job changover and a lot has been going good, but been really busy in the same. So today would be day 71 of flowering and things are getting pretty close to being finished for the most part, I give them 2-3 weeks max and they all will be harvested. So my last 2 feedings were not posted, 2 feedings ago I gave the girls a full on nutrient drench with my 5 gallons of water followed by earthjuice bloom 0-6-4, hydrolyzed fish 2-4-0, humic acid, cold pressed seaweed and molasses. The most recent feeding is the beginning of the lighter feeding "flushing period" in which I will mostly be giving water, sugar, and microbes. So I did a trichome check with my 30x lupe...it doesn't really get me close enough to really be confident in what I see, so I held my 30x lupe in front of my digital camera lens and got in much closer... I took some photos of normal buds, then with just 30x lupe no zoom, then with 30x lupe with 3x analog zoom so probably around 100-120x magnification. From the looks of the trichomes, the blue dreams are about ready, the bubba's have at least another 2-3 weeks on them, (I like my bubbas to hit heavy) and the skywalker og's are still showing a lot of clear and cloudy, not really any amber yet, so they may be 3 or more weeks depending on how fast they mature.

I will be leaving to ohio for a week, a week from today, so I have to decide how I am going to work in the harvest with this trip. I think that I may just let them go for the next 2 weeks and then harvest when I get back, because I don't want to have them drying and be gone, as well as don't want to have them jarred and get moldy. So most likely I am going to wait.

My veg tent is looking really good except for the skywalker og's who's stems have really turned purple, the leaves light green....I believe because it is in a different room where colder outside air is pulled into my apartment (I have negative force working to push air through and out the back) so the dark period temps may get as low as 58 degrees on a lot of nights. I have not really been feeding them any nutrients and just compost teas and a light 1-1-1 of bioroot every few feedings so I really don't think it is nutrient related because otherwise it is healthy looking....hmm...

Well I definitely will have to wrap up my grow when I get back in 2 weeks because the veg tent is definitely getting full and the girls will soon need larger pots, which I can't accomodate right now in the smaller tent with 8 plants. I am so far very happy with their performance. I haven't even been giving them any foliar sprays, I think maybe 2-3 times total since the potting of them.

Well here are the photo's of the girls...
