BT'z 2nd Grow: Super Lemon Haze & Golden Leaf

Awesome looking good. Man that Rey was pretty good! It’s got a nice “get shit done” high. Perfect for early mornings.
:passitleft:
Thanks for the compliment on my current grow. Also glad you like and enjoyed the high from Rey. I need to get a nice sample up to FelipeBlu soon for his take also. BTW, he will be here from the 4th to the 9th of September for a family event on Saturday the 8th. Hoping we can schedule a little drop by and share time and introduce you to him.

Buds look great! You okay BT?
Thanks Shed, I feel the buds are looking quite nice and filling in slowly. Me? I'm good. Just keeping my head down and taking care of real life as well as bud life. I do feel I'm enjoying my collection of buds much more now that I have some of my own. I guess there doesn't seem to be much remarkable movement in the moment with this grow, so not much to report on really often. I'm sure things will pick up over the next couple of weeks as I prepare to move into the next stages. A lot of dance steps to accomplish between harvesting what is currently in the Flower Tent on slightly different schedules and getting the Clones in the Veg tent prepared for going into the flip. I also have two new clones I Master Cloned from the GrapeApe in the clone tote box under the T-5. Looking to get them filled out some before moving them into the veg tent.
 
Well a little over 2weeks since the major defoliation of the Clones in the Veg Tent. As Shed suggested it wouldn't be long before they were all filled in again. Here are a couple of pictures from the top and from the front side of the tent opening.
From above it is looking very sea of green and one hell of a forest from the side. Average height is around 9inches from the Hempy Mix media. Culling day is coming in the future, perhaps within another couple of weeks. Eventually transplant into the larger Hempy Baskets for the lucky six.
 
Veg tent looks great! You could flip those any day :).

Yes, I could however I don't feel my flower tent is anywhere near ready to harvest. At least another 2-4 weeks. I might be able to flip initially in the veg tent for about a week. I would prefer to do the entire stretch into flowering under the PS Mini lights, so will most likely hold off until they are moved.

That will give me some time to evaluate and cull. Transplant into the larger baskets and defoliate at least a week before I flip. Of these only 4 may remain as I have another two GrapeApe Clones currently doing time in the Clone Tote box under the T5 veg bulbs. The GrapeApe clones will move into flower quite a while after the other four as they are still very small in the moment.

Currently I'm looking at two of the three Super Lemon Haze that are in the back of the tent. Two more of the Green Cup Gold Leaf. Looking to keep identical plant clone pairs so as to compare the mid-flowering defoliation at 21days for yield. That of course is subject to change if I find I'm running out of room in the flowering tent.
 
Ever consider a SOG instead of training?
If you mean just letting them all grow natural like they are now, no I haven't done that, but have considered it. I have wondered what would happen if I just piled them all together, feed and supplied light and see what developed. I'm guessing I could just leave them all in their cups and let them do their thing in the flower tent. My take is you just give them some space but they are all fairly close and let them stretch and flower. Perhaps give me a slight direction of what you mean by SOG if my understanding seems a bit off.
 
I was thinking each pot gets a single cola with all side branching culled. Kinda like my spogs® but grown as tall as you want before you flip. I've heard to do them in cutoff 2 liter bottles sitting side by side with no gaps (the sea of green), and I'm sure you could do something similar in hempy if you had the inclination!
Well, I could do that with this batch. It would require going through and culling all the side branches that have already been created through previous toppings. Supposedly, it produces about the same yield as smaller number of plants that have been trained and spread out.
 
Day 55 since flip. 420 says 63-65 days of flowering for the Gold Leaf and the Super Lemon Haze. I'm guessing that count starts the moment you change the light schedule to 12/12??? Supposedly only another 10days? Not exactly sure about that. Regardless here are are a couple of bud porn pictures. They are filling in.

Going to have to work on my tote some. Going to hang some 1/2inch PVC pipes width wise and then I can hang my bud hanging drying racks inside with a slight fan pull to keep things drying slowly. Hard to believe I'm coming up on another harvest time.
 
So many white pistils it's hard to believe they'll be ready in 10 days. But a) breeder times are almost always optimistic, and b) things can happen fast toward the end. I'd check the trichomes next weekend just in case!
Yes, not planning on rushing these at all. My best guess is begin looking hard core for cloudy/amber changes in 10-14days and not worry about before then.
 
I received my new video microscope yesterday in the mail and I'm fairly happy with the results. Other than I thought I was going to be able to plug it into my phone and can't. It odes plug into a standard USB port on my laptop and I can take than down to the flowering tent.

Regardless, here are some pictures taken this AM that seem to be very good examples of trichomes up close and personal.
Most definitely all clean in the moment, at least from my experience level they look that way. This should give me the ability to capture and make decisions with regards to amount of Amber coming into play down line.
