Here comes the swell.

I'm anxiously waiting!!

Thanks Mono! I honestly can't believe how well they turned out after the defol as well. But they are doing great now! As far as the smell goes, it's getting really stinky. Since I don't have the carbon filter attached, it's stinking up the whole house . I love to close the doors of the room the tents are in before the vents kick on and get blasted with all the smell that's built up in the flower tent over night, haha, its nice.

Haha, nothing nicer than the smell of many buds progressing the way they should.

Thanks for the reps mono, I now have 2 little green things by my name ! Yay!!!

Today I noticed balls forming all over this bastard...

So he was cut down today. Nothing yet on the two taller ones, so fingers crossed they're gonna be ladies! That's it for now.

 

[Mono]

Males generally show sex before females.

Fingers crossed for two girls

And the reps were well deserved my friend.

Looks good! I am also experimenting with defoliating some of my recent clones and a free seed.

Sorry to hear about your seeds getting stopped at customs! That really sucks. I have had 2 orders from Single Seed Centre to Colorado and I haven't had any problems yet, so I would recommend trying them out if you order again.

Can't wait to see some recent pics!

Thanks Hijinks! After seeing how well the plants did after the defol., I can say I'll be trying some sort of defol. method or training on every plant from here on out. It definitely makes for a better yield in limited spaces.

I re-ordered seeds from TSSC, and received confirmation that they were shipped today. So fingers are crossed they will make it here safely.

Updated pics tomorrow !

 

[stealthgrow]

Good luck with the seeds this time.

 

[Mono]

Sending good vibes your way for successful seed delivery my friend.

 

[PlanetaryHerb]

Thanks Stealth and Mono! I need all the luck and vibes I can get lol, I don't want to have to go through the devastation of being robbed by customs again haha.

Anyway on to today's update. Today is the end of week 6 and the flowering tent is looking great and continues to fill up. There's really not to much to report there. The plant that is furthest along in the flower tent will begin getting flushed after it's next/final feeding as it prepares itself for harvest .

The veg tent is also looking good. The taller two plants have been responding well to the lst and just got another defol. today. The smaller two were topped earlier in the week and have begun to produce their two tops.

That's it, on to the pics...

Hi Planet. Plants are looking great, nice LST on the younger ones. Flower tent is getting furry.

You have really packed those ladies tight into that flowering tent! Are you going to add a plant as you harvest a plant?

Yep they really are in there tight! So tight in fact, that I'm afraid to move them around at all or take them out to get better pics for the journal because I'm afraid I'll never get them fitting right in there again haha.

This time around I will replacing the plants as soon as I cut the first two down because the 2 larger plants in veg are quickly out growing their 1 gallon pots. They have both also been confirmed as females ! Also, as you can probably see 5 plants is kind of pushing the limits of my 3x3 tent. So I think after this I will only be running 3-4 plants in it to give them a little more room and to get a little better light penetration below the canopies.

After this run I will only be planting new seeds after all plants have been moved to flower room. This way I will be harvest about every 2 months. So the seeds that I ordered, granted they make it here safely, will not be planted until everything in the veg tent has been moved to flower or culled out as a male. Running the T5 and the MH over seedlings and vegging plants at the same time in the same tent is just asking to much of my little 2x4 tent. Also, doing it this way will give me the opportunity to clean out each tent really well because I wont constantly have a bunch of plants in different stages of growth in each tent.

After doing my usually check of the flower room today I noticed that I am at the start of a spider mite infestation! ! Can anyone here provide any advice or tips on how to or what is the best product to rid my garden of them? Any information is much appreciated! Thanks!

Since you are in the states shipping should be cheap.

I would highly recommend - Sierra Natural Science SNS-217 Best for Spider Mites

your plants are looking good!

 

[PlanetaryHerb]

Thanks Mono and KJC!

I went to the local hydro store to see what they could offer me and after talking to the guy there he suggested azamax as that is what he used on his garden and had great results with. He said that the product said you could use it up to the day of harvest but suggested that it shouldn't be used anytime after 2 weeks from harvest. So far I've done only to applications to the top and underneath the canopy. SO far I haven't really noticed any progress in the spider mites. I think caught it early enough to the point where you really have to look to even see the damage.

Other than that, everything is looking good. Only 2-3 weeks from harvest now .

 

[PlanetaryHerb]

That's it, I will never be ordering from anywhere else but TSSC. The seeds were in the mail today which means they came yesterday, within a week of placing my order . Attitude can suck the big one!

Herbies, another sponsor, is well worth a try. Flawless transactions, very discrete packaging and loads of freebies

On my last order I got more free seeds than I bought lol

Today marks 8 weeks since the start of 12/12 in the flower tent! I will be taking down the first plant within two weeks . As soon as Mystery #1(I'm calling her this now as she will be the first to finish) is ready to be watered again, I will be pulling her out of the tent to do the final flushing by running her under the tub faucet until the water runs clear. I've already prepped Mystery #1 for the flushing by giving her just plain water during the last feeding. I also plan on doing a simplified bud wash after seeing members do it on this site. I plan on just rinsing them in hot water then in cold water with no additives in the water. If I like the results I will be doing it with the rest of the plants.

The Veg tent is looking good. The two confirmed females are getting big! I just had to transplant them into 3 gallon pots today as they had been showing signs they were ready for bigger pots. They are already looking much better since the transplanted. I also did some more lst on them after the transplanted. The method of topping once and then just low stress training from there on is producing great results and I think it's going to be my new veg cycle routine now, at least for awhile. Theses two plants might take up the whole flower tent themselves! Also pictured are the 2 lowest branches I cut off of each plant sitting in a cup of water. Just thought I'd see if they throw out roots if left in there long enough. I don't really care if they don't as I was just going to throw them out anyway.

I plan on planting the seeds I bought recently after the plants vegging have been moved to flower. I will be planting 4 regular feminized and 1 feminized automatic seed. The seeds I received were:

Barney's Farm
- Tangerine Dream
- Vanilla Kush
- Liberty Haze
- Blue Cheese

Dinafem (freebies)
- Cheese
- Fruit Automatic

That's all I have to say for now. On too the pics...

Good work my friend, those buds in the flowering tent are really starting to fatten up. Frosty as anything! You are going to be in for a treat with those girls that's for sure.


Veg tent is looking good too, they seem to have loved the defoliation you did on them. Well done my friend.


Good weed to you
