Growings Grows Grapefruit & Creamatic - Grow Diary

This is what a perpetual from me looks like

Nice girls

@Bill284 - these are starting to foxtail while the lower buds are pretty much done
Can't see any other option than to chop them right?
Cheers

Hey Growings sorry about the foxtailing.
Are the middle and lowers done?
Want me to have a look?

Stay safe

Variety of bud sites with a while to go

The Grapefruit is still pumping flowers so I've had to move it to the bathroom where the ceiling light will only be on 10/14 - we are well past due date and it was starting to be a problem in the tent with the others

Could be worse, I suppose

 

[Roy Growin]

Time to dedicate a post to Creamatic from RQS, it grows beautifully compact and starts to flower quick
These were sprouted and grown 12/12 for the first couple of weeks as I had a photo in the tent too, but now switched to 16/8 and they don't care a jot

There has been a fair bit of discussion recently on how to take sharp photos with good colour rendition, so most of the following pics have been taken with a variety of settings/methods
The most common mistake is spot focusing on, say, pistils to get them sharp
This is wrong, as 2/3 of the depth of field (focal area) is wasted
Focus just in front of your desired focal point so that both the foreground and background blur, but the middle ground is pinpoint - I have included a photo where the focal point is wrong to demonstrate
Anyway, this is about beautiful plants so enjoy

This is a typical example of trying to get the pistils in focus: see how the outline of the pistils is sharp, but so is the leaf in the background which is a waste, because it means the closer pistils are blurred, whereas further down the stem is perfectly in focus too, so focus on the front edge

Lets try again...

Forgot to mention, pic 1 and pic 2 are from the same pack of seeds

One in the ashtray, sleeves rolled up, gloves on, trimmers sterilized ...
She will be spending the evening in trim jail with me tonight

Beautiful
I know there is a joke about her sitting on the toilet but I'll leave that.
Just a fantastic lady.
Keep up the good work.

LOL, I put the box that way up on the toilet deliberately
Got accidentally Banana Bread stoned and didn't finish trim last night so another sentence awaits this evening
The last lot (Cosmic/Cherry Bomb) cures very nicely indeed, something of a distraction

Cosmic cherry bomb sounds fantastic.
Who thinks of these names. Brilliant.
I just smoked Gorilla Glue mixed with Afghan Black.
Or the Canadian version of Black Hash.
Not the stuff of lore.
Back to trimming

Any idea what is used for Charas type smoke Bill?
Really want to make some hashish, but I can't grow enough to sieve it or rub it
...and there's no way I'm boiling alcohol here

It's from government licensed producers here.
So it's probably made with b grade pot they can't sell.
I mix it in the bowl with my pot for fun.
I've never tried making hash.
Everything else I could think of but never tried hash.
I have a solution for you.
You will just have to grow way more pot.
Problem solved.

Stay safe
Bill

...off to the seed drawer

 

[Roy Growin]

I'd like to give Chunky Skunk a go, a couple more Cherry/Cosmic Bombs and some Jack Auto, but poor old me - have to do Green Crack and Big Bud from @CoffeeShopSeeds first

Time for an update on RQS Creamatic
Spot the odd one out...

That's not just a slightly different pheno, the last one looks like it's got months to go, Sativa stylie?

 

[Roy Growin]

Gonna have to dump the Sativa pheno plant or it will wreak havoc in the tent, no good for my soggy type style at all

 

[Roy Growin]

Well I didn't dump it, I cut her head off instead
She's not bothered, and neither am I because the rest of the plant is getting fatter instead - same difference
