a well thought out build mate. I just try to avoid using all the grass clippings in my compost bin to keep it better balanced. remember reading a while ago that grass cuttings for our needs can be a little too N heavy so have been cautious since .
more the merrier grownie. welcome aboard.
hoping I can fit it in with the ever growing canopy now though damn hot in the room too. lol Need to move a power pack out of the room before this heatwave hits us. Now prepping for the next 6 to join them for the perpetual run. even more pots squeezed in. lolLooks awesome G
Oiii can you give me curing advice. I don’t want to use the bovinas or what ever they are. I want to learn to cure without. My jars get to 69%. I’m burping like I got a colicky baby to ensure it doesn’t go mouldy. What do you reckon?
I think i commented on your page too but for me before I used patches. u used to burp daily for about 2 weeks and stir them up each time I did it. As I dry low and slow when possible, I usually dont have a lot of moisture left to lose now and I actually get moisture from the patches more than drying with them. They are more about storage than curing for me. I think with the longer drying time and conversion of the chlorophyll during it , I don't have to rely on the flavour being bought back sommych. should be similar for you too as a soil grower. Reg air exchanging is the key until around 5.8/6.2 %. . mould could not form at such a low rh thankfully.
I don’t know how you even work in that jungle. But looks like you have it handled. Bet it’s starting to smell delicious.Day 19 Flowering: Howdy ho growmies. All going brilliant in the room besides the ridiculous heat build ups. The plants are taking it in their stride it seems with no slow down obvious at this point . I am shocked at the growth rate of the banana ladies with all their limbs fighting for too light position. A thinning is imminent now !.
They are all forming buds now and even the mutant is starting to change her focus to bid development. They are filling the left hand side up with a nice row of long colas that I will have to keep apart as they develop. The 2 trained girls are the most productive on limbs with #3 really showing how a mainline can develop so much growth that will become mains. This has led to a very full and potentially risky clump of forming bids i will need to be very on the ball with rh and possible mould spots. I have now put a small 16 inch desktop fan, low down in the Purple monkeys space to flow air below decks
The Purple Monkey certainly will need the same vigilance as their buds are really packing the hairs on now. all three have a good amount of very chunky buds forming up into spikes . They are so sticky now too which again makes me think they will be a very early harvester. The terpenes are really starting to build near her when I work in the room too. such a nice aroma of cut fruit.
The middle row has been really using the overlap light well with all 4 plants thriving and fitting into the space perfectly
At the back , the Cream cookie has been left to grow into the space she had and has her mains happily sat soaking the light up. slightly wider nodes than I had hoped for to keep height lower but thankfully the head height has not been a worry since her stretch stopped. The Banana #3 has dominated the grouping and is trying to overtake i think. she is nin need of a good defol in a day or so as so much lower larf is also fighting to be heard and I know they won't make the canopy. !!
Mango X Mimosa Lemon is really impressive so far. she isnjust about finished her stretch and a really good size. I am hoping she follows the male side for length of her limbs at harvest with her mums fat buds, in between is a happy medium.lol I have high expectations of this one.
The Exotic ? is also in stretch now and definitely female.
She is a really thick leaved bush that needs some serious taming soon. Nice solid stems and good growth to each limb could be shaped into a donkey dicked beasty.!!!!. Fingers crossed on her continued rise to fame. All told we have a very full canopy and light footprint , this is without the addition of the 6 new seeds under the xs1500 !( diary soon!). I have not seen the space so full in a long time with so many plants in full flowering mode , I only hope the heat plays ball now.
Be well folks.
It involves lots of one footed balancing that i am crap at !. lol. Certainly needed the defol and clean out a little. It was getting moist in the jungle with the horrible heat build up and big pots. Managed to bring it down a little now thankfully. I am hopeful I timed the runs well enough too as when the new ones begin to gain sone size , I will be in a nightmare of leaves and moisture again !. fingers crossed. Thanks NTH.
JOIN US !!!!! come over to the dark side , we all know you want to........ lol It can be a grwat tool for control and to spread the plants canopy wider. Beauty is it can be applied when needed instantly amd not have to wait while it routes to our plan. Key is to not destroy the mobile carrying views inside bit it will create a kind of Micro-reservoir that then gets distributed along the same branch it was intended for because the undamaged upper part still has the channels and structure there waiting while the mini-res works out what's what from the damaged flesh. It is a kind of stalling tactic to the upper portions needs really, drip feeds it to slow it down while it reforms the inner connections back again. The scar left is a useful knuckle to hold the weight that it will need to support after. Meanwhile , the lower branches and growth can carry on growing un-stressed and with normal growth rates. Any bud sites along the supercropped branch will head upwards like a top bud and the comms network will attempt to feed it accordingly. We get some. Good gains from the method , alongside the benefit of reducing height. Rhe pkant won't give a toss about the damage as she expects to have to fight to get the best for her babies among natures predators and environmental enemies to her. We gibe them a luxury biosphere with very little stress compared to the natural world , the odd broken limb is but a flesh wound to these spoilt bitches !!!. heehee hope it helps. lol go for it T . you soon lose the fear when you actually see the comeback live and direct. be wellGood morning G Spot
Looking good there.
Oh and I think I might be swayed and supercrop just a little. I’m 50:50.
Hope all is well with you Dude!That was one of the most informative posts I’ve read. And that is saying a lot due to all the knowledge bombs dropped freely around this place. What would you do to these plants GG? They’ve been topped and should start flowering soon I would think. They are 50 days old or so. They are loving the nutes. Part of me says a good trim on the underside on the bottom. Maybe two nodes up? Then do a little chiropractor work?
Welcome aboard mate. more than welcome. Its an 9dd one for us brits now. All this educates of cursing tue crap summers and now every year I am outside in April, stark bollock naked chanting to the sun god to fuck off back to Africa where it belongs.!! Oddly got a letter of support from Tommeh Knobinson to keep up the good work !! Never knew he disliked the sun ??..lol I am prepping for snow too. Best be on the safe side here. We have a unique environment for sure. We get everyones leftovers from their weather. Thanks for the positives mate , always appreciated. Any comments , advice , questions etc.. always welcome and don't be tight with pics either if you feel the need too. be well mate , soon be enjoying swimming races of MP's hopefully too.lolHowdy do. All's looking good..
My heart goes out to you; battling those temperatures is a worry and hard work..
Luckily, here in the Grand United Counties of England, the nice weather won't last.. no doubt it will be piddling down and blowing a gale next week..
Anyway.. been following along, just lurking in the shadows; but I must say, I'm well impressed. Keep up the good work mate
