Fuel D.OG
Day 32 since flip.

The grow area is running 4.0

The plants are drinking heavily and the buds are continuing to develop. They are showing no ill effects from yesterday's added Koolbloom(0-10-10).

The AC and de-humidifier are keeping the environment in the desired range.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling away.

Fuel D.OG
Day 35 since flip.

The grow area is running well. No issues.

The plants are looking healthy and the buds are growing well. The Fuel D.OG has more tric. development than the Acapulco Gold. I tried to get a close up to zoom in on, but it was out of focus.

The plants are drinking heavily but not as much as the Acapulco Gold. The de-humidifier and AC are keeping things in the desired range.

The buds are looking good. They've got me spending time now just standing there gazing at them for long periods of time.

Fuel D.OG
Day 36 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The plants are looking healthy and the buds are getting better by the day. They are ahead of the Acapulco Gold in trichome development.

They are drinking heavily. I've started to top up the reservoir during both daily checks. The PH was staying in range but I'm going to attempt to buffer the PH drop even more.

The CO2 bucket is still bubbling away.

Day 37 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The plants are looking good and I'm loving these buds. They are fattening nicely and I should get some variation in the buds from the different phenos. I like variety.

I have high hopes for this strain as a rosin maker. If the breeder is correct I think the mix of Chemdog (Sour Diesel x OG Kush) and Fuel OG (Diesel x HeadBand), should taste pretty good.
The breeder also says, Its large trichomes, concentration of terpenes and sheer quality of its resin help to make this a very serious proposition for extract/concentrate makers.

The temps. and humidity are within the desired range.

Day 39 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

Reservoir change today. The recommended amounts of GH three part liquid nutes for 17 gallons in Mid Bloom. 60ml CalMag+ and 35ml KoolBloom (0-10-10) were added. PHed to 5.5-6.0 with PH down and a small amount of PH down added during bi daily check during the afternoon.

The CO2 bucket is still bubbling, over a week now.

The plants are looking good and the buds are continuing to build. The best description of the smell when I get close is pungent.

Looking great! This is the exact same time i started seeing the yellowing start on the edges of my upper leaves. Not sure anything i did really helped, just seem to ride it to the end. The buds on these at harvest were absolutely rock hard and heavy. I think the end weight is going to be a pleasant surprise.

 

[gwhunran]

They are looking good to me. We'll see if they start having issues. I'm not ready to call anything yet. They are frosting up more each day. At the best angles and distance to take individual bud pictures, the auto focus makes the picture more yellow. I'll take some with a flash and see if they come out better.

 

[Long Time Coming]

Could be the flash. Dont get me wrong, they look gorgeous! I just noticed on the second to last pick about two thirds down one leaf with what looks like yellow edges. Looking back at my journal it was the same time i saw mine start, but again it wasn't over the whole plant and only eventually progressed to just the tops of a few colas.

Day 40 flower.

The grow room is running normally.

It's been a rainy few days but the de-humidifier is keeping things in range.

The smell is picking up in the room. Kinda skunky with a twist of something.

The buds are building and have an interesting look to me.

I forgot to try pics with flash. Maybe tomorrow.

The PH is staying very good, even with top ups of high ph tap water.

[gwhunran]

Thanks West. Both of the grows have been trouble free so far. I think the Fuel D.OG is ahead of the Acapulco Gold in maturity. It is frostier for sure. I hope to have good rosin candidates. I'm planning on trying my hand at filling vape carts with rosin. Have you tried this? If so, any pointers.

Both grows are spot on bro, looking forward to the harvest n smoke reports. CL

Sorry but I can’t get away with smoking anymore even vape . They passed the vape to me and I was hoping for the best but as usual pneumonia follows the vape also .
My Acapulco Gold pressed just great and I bet the D.OG presses just fine . I’d keep up with @StoneOtter on the vapes if I could vape .

 

[gwhunran]

Sorry to hear about not being able to vape too. It does make me cough more than smoking. I am lucky so far. I quit smoking cigarettes in 1996 and was running a lot. To get in better shape in the military and ease the rage of nicotine withdrawal.
My neighbor gave me a cart and pen of some grape flavored hemp. It taste okay and I do feel it. So, I am going to make some carts with some of my rosin. I also have a seahorse pro that I use as an e-nail and didn't realize I could take the tip off and put a cart on the seahorse and it would vape the cart too. I can hook the seahorse up to a bong and further cool the vapor too.

Fuel D.OG
Day 41 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The PH is dropping a little less between reservoir top ups than the Acapulco Gold. It's almost staying at the 5.8-6.0 range, when I check the PH some time after each the bi-daily top ups.

Upon closer study of the plants. It's the plant on the right that seems to maturing faster than the others in the tray. Not the whole tray maturing faster.

The CO2 bucket is still bubbling, if very slowly. I might be late refreshing it as there are other obligations tomorrow.

These plants and their buds are looking good to me.

Fuel D.OG
Day 42 since flip.

The grow room is running normally.

New CO2 bucket. The old one lasted 11 or 12 days.

The plants are looking good. It is a bit concerning that I'm getting some brown pistils on the buds. They look fine and I haven't seen any evidence of bananas. That is my biggest concern. The last time I had a strain start finishing in the 40 something days instead of 70 as expected. That was the cause. Durban, grower induced stress.

The outside plant is the one that didn't fit in the flood and drain. Nearly a month to go until the days start getting shorter. I plan on really pruning her at that time. May still get taller than I'd like.

Day 43 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The plants may be drinking less. Some additional scrutiny may be in order.
The buds still look like their turning too fast to me.

The CO2 bucket is going strong.

My individual single bud close up was to out of focus to post.
