Been out of touch for a while. Just busy, nothing much else. so much to do during the summer. I now have 4 new girls in the ground. Amnesia Haze Auto, Aurora Indica, Somango XXL, and White Widow Auto.The were germinated about june 1 and then put into the grow chamber 4 weeks later. They are growing well. No nute problems yet. Here are some pictures: when the last 2 were when they went into the grow chamber about june 30th and then the first 2 are today. FROM BOTTOM RIGHT COUNTERCLOCKWISE THEY ARE Amnesia Haze Auto, Aurora Indica, Somango XXL, and White Widow Auto.
Hell yes moving right along budman. Looking dandy. Any smoke reports worth sharing from that last harvest yet?

A bit late on the update. The girls continue to grow well with no issues at all. Kinda routine at this point. Here is a picture and a graph of the growth of the girls. I will get a smoke report out on the last grow in a couple of days. So until then enjoy and as always keep it green!!

Now for the smoke report on my last grow. I'll start with the worst and work to the best of the grow.
The worst was Bubbleicious. This plant never really got going. It started slow and stayed short. By the time the flowering started it was getting overshadowed by its larger neighbors. Also has pH issues from early on that I never really got corrected. I only got ~3/4 of an once from this plant and the smoke was tasteless and low potency. I didn't like this one much. That doesn't mean that Bubblicious if grown properly wouldn't turn out to be a fine smoke, it is just that this one didn't work out too well for me.
Next was the Lemon OG Haze Auto. Similar issues as the bubblicious faced just not quite as severe. The weed never developed that citrus smell that my previous grow of this strain did. The potency on this one was also low but still smoke able. It had a mild sort of nondescript taste. No tasteless just sort of bland.
The swiss cheese auto produced outstanding smoke. Potency was good to very good. Flavor had no skunkiness to it at all. A hint of Swiss cheese was noted on some of the best buds. Mostly it was a sort of heavy sweet sort of flavor that left a waxy sort of coating on my tongue and lips. It produced a lot of good size solid buds. Overall this is a good one.
Blueberry Kush Auto was excellent. Tasted of overripe fruit. Sweet and heavy with a good odor to it in the jar as well on the tongue. Very good potency and excellent taste. Overall my favorite smoke of the grow.

Thanx for the smoke report budman. Glad you got some tastey potent buds to smoke on. I had a small bubblicious that was decent, although the smell was like rotten fruit or something it had a good buzz. How much did you get off the blueberry kush?
later mon.

Just about 1 month till the girls are ready(I am estimating here. They have continued to grow well. The mango xxl is showing some slight issues. It showed sympoms of over watering this past weekend watering cycle. SInce then I have seen brown spots and some discolration of the leaves, but still looking like buds are developing ..... nothing really concerning as I have seen this before and still got good yields. Her is a picture and a graph.

4 weeks till harvest I think. The girls are developing buds nicely, still growing but I think they are slowing. They all look so nice. The aurora indica is short but looks healthy and her buds are starting to swell nicely. Might not yield too much but it probably will be good smoke. The SoMango XXL has some damage from my over watering but appears to be moving along nicely. Other than making some of the leaves brown spotted ugly it seems no worse for the wear. Here are s couple of pictures ... one under the LEDS and one under flash. Also the growth chart for my girls. 
Take care and as always keep it Green

3 weeks til harvest. Maybe as many as 5, we will see. Growth is slowing, had to do some training of the So Mango XXL. It is too close to the lights but it seems to be doing fine ..... damaged leave from a nute/overwatering episode, but nothing new since then. My Aurora Indica had some very light upper leaves that corresponded to well watered and higher than I would like pH. From my reading it looks like a minor Iron deficiency driven by the pH swing (to ~7). No necrosis noted and it only affected the newest growth. No hint of the light green leaves lower on the plant.
First is the growth chart. Then are pics of the whole grow. After that are some pictures of each individual buds from each plant. Finally a couple pictures of the discolored leaves from a day or two ago.

Midweek update. My girls continue to grow well but it is time to start the next batch. For the next time I am trying to grow the following strains:Jock Horror Auto flower, Papaya, Misty Kush, and Wonder Woman. I am using the paper towel method for germination and hope to get them in the ground by Saturday.

Next Set of Girls are in the ground. A couple of pictures of the germination/early veg setup.
Now on to the current grow. They have all but stopped growing verticallybut are budding nicely. 2 to 4 weeks until harvest. I have started flushing my girls. 10 gallons on clear pHd water through each plant. Plans are to do that every weekend until they are harvested. The aurora indica is still small and won't produce as well as the other 3 but I think the harvest will be quite nice. Here are a couple of pics of the whole grow as well as some cola pics. They are starting to sparkle a bit.

Two weeks have passed and a lot has happened. Not much of it good. I returned home monday to an empty grow chamber. I had been robbed. The bastards got about half of my glassware collection and all my sort of mature weed. I believe this is related to the incident in march that I spoke of earlier in this journal.
They left the seedlings though. So start again i will. But I have added a deadbolt and some other features to my security. Soon to follow is a battery backed up stealth video camera in the grow shed. Oh well moving on. Here are pictures of my seedlings. Also a new 2x2x4 grow chamber. Light is a 220 watt off brand LED (real power usage not claimed watts, which was 600 btw) I picked up for $99 but after I added discounts and rewards points from a credit card I picked it up for $15. One inlet fan at the bottom and and outlet in the top. The light also act as an inlet fan as it is sealed to the top and draws air from outside and vents to the interior. This is designed for a short single plant grow. and I picked Blueberry Kush for the inaugural journey. I am trying my version of a hempy bucket for this grow. I hadan old hydro bucket and thought the sight tube would be handy to make sure the water level was right, I can turn the nipple to the side to drain almost all of the bucket easily as well. We'll see how it works.

Aint that a bitch. fkn pos shit people. I remember the earlier incident, Wasn't it family? Even with a deadbolt i would be wary. Especially if your not 100% legal. Maybe set some traps? Thieves piss me off. Sorry for your loss buddy. Their karma will come back to them.
