UPDATE: 60 DAYS IN FLOWER



I am currently flushing the Super Skunk. She was Probably done a week or so ago but I wanted to get a couple of straight waters through her before I chopped. So I think I am going to chop her Monday. Which will give her 9 full weeks in flower. I need to get a loupe but just havent. I have a Micro USB scope but its a real pain in the ass. I need something I can just hold up and see.

As for the rest. They look to me like they still have a couple weeks left. Its hard to go buy what the breeders say, Because of course they are gonna shorten the flower time. SS says 7-9 weeks. Which seemed to be right. And I think the SD said 9-11. Which may be right. We shall see. But I the CD AND the FP (which Iv grown and needed 11 weeks) both say 7-9. And they are both still putting on weight as far as I can tell. Right now Im just going by the red to white hairs comparison. Which may not be the most accurate.

I made nutes for them last night. I will feed them (Not SS) tonight. I made about 2 gallons for the 3 to split. Mix went as follows for the whole 2 gallons


10tsp BLOOM
1/2tsp META K
2tsp TERPENEZ
2tsp HI-BRIX
2tsp CATALYST
1 1/2tsp MAMMOTH P


I case anyones wondering about the CD clone...She took off beautifully. I bent her over. And she is now in the flower tent with the others. I am thinking of taking several clones one of these times and either sogging or scrogging them. But as for this one. I am just going to let her grow. Im not going to do a whole lot of fancy stuff to her. I want to see the yield difference if I just let her be. From defoliating. Im going to let her stay real bushy. And just let her do her thing. I may or may not clear her bottom from small growth. IDK. Probably not. I want to just let her grow. Anyway. Here are some pics from last night.

UPDATE: 65 DAYS IN FLOWER


I chopped the Super Skunk 2 nights ago on the 25th. That gave her 9 full weeks in Flower. The rest are still going but I have started the Flush. I will only give them water with Mammoth P, Terpenez, and Catalyst from now on. I have been thinking of maybe a light dose of bloom but undecided right now. If I were using synthetics I would for sure just flush. But going organic Im not sure theres much use or need. I wish they were healthier to be honest. The Sour D Looks to be P def but I thought I was giving plenty. Maybe I gave her too much. Or maybe she was just really P thirsty. I really want to switch over to synthetics. It seems more cut and dry, and a little more simpler. ( I could totally be wrong) Anyway. Here are some pics from a couple nights ago.



SUPER SKUNK BEFORE IT WAS CHOPPED

The rest of the ladies. On the left is Sour D....On the right in front is Chemdawg...and on the right in the back is Fruit Punch. The unbloomed one is the Chemdawg clone.

UPDATE: 67 DAYS IN FLOWER



Well, Super Skunk is now jarred. I would have like to have her dry longer but 3 days is all she made it to. And that was still probably to dry. I have her in 2 jars curing for the next 2 weeks or more. Then Ill dabble and see whats what. I had semi high hopes for her as she looked like she had some weight but Im not so sure now. Looks like I only got about 2zzs. Ill weight her after her cure.

As for the rest, they are chugging along. I watered them last night with some mammoth p, Terpenez and Catalyst. After manicuring the SS, I wish I would have just cut all the under growth. I honestly dont know if it would be more or less doing so but its a pain to manicure. Maybe the tops would have been longer and or fuller. IDK

Iv been thinking. And feel that for the best bang for your buck..I.E space, Electric, nutes, and just overall time and quality of bud, I am really starting to think either a SOG or a SCROG, which Iv done a couple of times. I think they might give you, if done right, more yields, + yielding all tops. That was the plus side of that. The tops for the most part arent as big. But they are ALL tops. If one wanted, he.she could scrog it, cut ALL undergrowth under scrog (of course) and have a sea of tops. My problem with the SCROG was what a pain in the ass,,,better yet, pain in the back it was. Every day, tucking and running limbs. Trying to figure out the puzzle that is before your eyes. Plus everything else, from defoliating lolly popping and even watering, becomes more of a pain because you cant move your plants and cant really get to them. Especially if you dont have doors on the side of your tent. Like my big tent. NO SIDE DOORS. I guess they arent a MUST but they help. Iv been thinking of doing a SOG of clones. But I honestly dont want that much of the same smoke. I want at least 2 different strains. Preferably 4. IDK But vegging for 7-8 weeks for the same as if I vegged for 5 weeks isnt going to cut it. But I do love the simplicity of Manifolding......IDK IDK iDK...Here are some pics from last night.

UPDATE: 73 DAYS IN FLOWER



I harvested Sour D last night. I accidentally let the light come on for about 30 mins, Then put her back in the dark where she sat for about 2 or 3 hrs. I hope that was enough time to store all those starches and stuff in its roots. Either way I chopped her and trimmed her up. She is now hanging to dry. Here are some pics

I think I could have gotten more out of her if she was grown better. I dont know if she needed much more P than she was getting, getting too much, OR< This was the first time I tried to actively adjusting the ph. Which Iv read from multiple sources can throw it off. I understand it but I remember thinking. (and this could be way off) that it naturally rises by itself. By bubbling it, it rises. So if you dont bubble it and just mix it and use organic ph + until its 6.5 Its possible it could rise anyway in which case its rising way past 6.5. IDK...Im not smart enough to figure all that out. I have tried countless hours of research but cant get a straight answer on whether one should worry about ph when going organic. This might be the worst trouble iv have. Not saying I havent had trouble. Earth juice is a huge pain in the ass to use. But this is the 1st time Iv adjusted ph. By bubbling past 6.5 and adding more Ej to get back down to 6.5.
Maybe my PPM is to high. IDK or maybe I should just give them their feed and not worrying about it.



As for the other 2 ladies. They will be chopped one at a time. Leaving fruit punch last. Both the fruit punch and ChemDawg are SUPER FROSTY... here are some pics. I dont think the camera catches it well tho.

Looks like some good meds four ya Nat. Nice haul on those plants.

I Destemed the FP, which was the last of them. I finished drying in a big bowl with a lid. I let her stay in there for a couple days, and then put her in a Jar. I am pretty happy with the way it went so far. ( as far as drying and curing goes) She hung for 4 days, and then dried for another 2 days slowly in a bowl, being burbed a couple times a day. Now she is in 3 jars, with Beveda 62 packs, And will finish her cure for the next 2-4 weeks. Or anytime after 2 weeks really.



As for the CD, she had a good process too. She hung for 4 days and then destemmed, then put in Brown paper bag for another couple days. Then put in Jar to finish the process.



This might be the worst crop Iv had since I grew in the summer with no AC. Dont get me wrong, Its not THAT bad but worse than I want or need. Yield wise, I shit the bed somehow. Fruit punch is the only one I weighed so far. It was respectable at 90gs. But the buds are light and fluffy. Not sure shy. I sampled a J and smell, taste, and high is GREAT!! Reminds me of why I grew it again. Its a great strain.


ChemDawg I havent weighed, but it all fit tightly in one Jar. I knew it was a small plant tho. Im thinking about 50Gs or so. Very Stinky but havent sampled so IDK.


Sour D Is about the same in weight.Maybe a little more.

Super skunk was about 2zzs. Little smell, with little taste. But gets you stoned. And that SUCKS, because I have 2 more of them growing right now. I honestly dont want any more. I like a strain to be stinky and tastee.

Heres a picture of a Super Skunk bud after some time curing.

 

[ItsNatural]

I weighed Sour D and ChemDawg.

SOUR D weighed in at 68g

CHEMDAWG weighed in at 60g



Sour D has a very strong smell and taste. Good uplifting high.


Havent smoked ChemDawg yet. It is still Curing

 

[ItsNatural]

I guess I forgot the Fruit Punch weight. lol It was little over 90gs.. And the Super Skunk I never weighed but it was 2 jars so Im guessing about 60 -70gs...



I guess this Journal is done...

Nice grow! I grabbed some LED chemdog at www.420sixty.com when I was in Toronto last week and it was incredible! I am definitely going to have to grab a good LED and some beans and see what I can pull off at home.
