Closet Grow Purple Urkle & L.A. Confidential

[ChronJon]

Hello Everyone!!!! I finally have enough time to sit down and write a little. I get to go home this week to go see my babies. They are both on a self maintaining watering system for a ten day period while i am working, my girlfriend does check on the Indoor Erkle, I get to facetime her, lol. All is well in Nothern Cali, work is going great. i am really enjoying it. I actuall built a badass BHO extractor out of stainless, my next project will be a tamisium extractor that is very nice with vaccum pumps and all, that is what I do for a living is fab work. Any way, enough of that. Urkle is doing amazing from what i can see in my photos, it sucks not being home right now. I removed the gods gift because somehow she hermied.....ohhh well. It was actually a good thing, because now the urkle can stretch out and really swell up. she has filled in her screen very nicely. Building big fat kolas everywhere. i would say 60% of the buds are going to be large to medium sized. I have been feeding 10ml grow 7ml micro and 13ml bloom with and extra shot of bloom once a week. When i get home i will have to raise the light, i am sure by the time i get there she will be close. I appreciate the +reps from everyone, it is nice to know what others think.....

I even tried to rotate my damn photos before i posted them and they still come in sideways, I apologize for that, it sucks turning the laptop sideways.....lol I will download a better editing software. I will have a good update this next weekend when I see her. Thank you all for the kind words and subscribing to my thread. I was also wondering, with the SCROG should I do any defoliation during flowering or should i just leave it? any input would be greatly appreciated...Thank you!!!!

It is a pain. I e-mail my pics to myself and download them to my desktop. At that point I can click on one and it opens in a windows pic viewer. The viewer will allow me to rotate and auto save. I then post the pics to the 420 gallery. Just my way but may work. Windows not a Mac.

Hey Chron,
Great to see their progress!! Your scrog look like it gunna fill out well I love flower time, it s like one day you see em just startin to get some pistils, then a couple weeks after your starin at buds!!
But yeah im liking how ur girls look..Sorry for perving on em! Lol.. Hope theyre girls... That could be weird?? A hermi! hahaha..
As for defoliation at Flowering, well its been suggested to save any large trimming of fans until flower, and i think its a similar case during Veg tho, of only taking dying or fans that are blocking bud/shoots light.. I feel sort of the same, i dont like to take alot of the large healthy fans during veg as they need em for photosynthesis,storing nutes.water,sugars etc; So i only will take if theyre directly blocking some good shoots from light or if theyre squashing into growths or dying off. I lightly feathered her over her grow, staggering what i take so as its not off the 1 part, and it was necessary for the undergrowth as the light has to penetrate 2ft thru that canopy!! Now theyre big and grown out so thats good, im trying to get as many shoots to grow well in case some dont do so good..
Well hoping your girls keep flying along for ya buddy! Take it ez, Smokem..

Finally! the time has come for an update. The Urkle is doing amazing!! Still streching like crazy, I hope she will slow down and start to fill in soon, she is only a few weeks in to flower so she still has 5 + weeks to go. I usually dont ever go by the times they recommend, I tend to use my eye, I personally like to wait it out until the last minute. The colas are really starting to swell up very well. I may have to bring in a CO2 tank, I dont feel my generator is keeping up ( I use basic fermentaion). I have a regulator setup and tubing, I just havent yet thought it was nessacery. To get the bud swell I am looking for I believe I am going to want it now. Starting the screen was one of the best ideas that I decided to use, after growing in a SCROG I probably will get comfortable and hone my skills. Dial it in so I am getting the yields that I so desire. Anyway. Work is going well, I am working 11 hour days for ten on and four off. Its not so bad, everyone should contribute to society by working and not taking advantage for bailouts and other government aid. I have made my own since I was a boy. OK I am tired, here are some good photos and a little bud porn.

Hey ChronJon,
How you doing?? Well your girls lookin nice mate!! Youre probably a week or 2 ahead of me roughly?? Im into day 4 or 5 of flower, so she s stretching atm and i hope to see some flowers in the next 2 weeks.. And yeah, im not sure of the estimated flower time of this strain so i to will be going by eye, well trichs anyway.. 15-20% and "TIMBERR"... Down she comes Ive had to strip some of Cindy's fans and small shoots as they were crowding too bad and blocking light to the larger shoots and cola's, hopefully i wont have to take much more from her, but she is massive now! Im itching to see some buds too mate. HOPE YOUR PLANT GIVES YOU SOME NICE STICKY NUGS BRO!! Take it easy and chat soon. Great work Cya mate. Smokemup

The flowering process is an amazing experience to watch and monitor. Soon they will be swelling and getting big and fat. I am going to pump a bunch of CO2 into the room to help that. I will keep you posted. I just found some time between flights.....I am sitting at my gate at San francisco.....I will update this weekend or monday, i am heading home for a couple days to see my girls.
