Day 35 -

 

[steppedinds]

Day 36 - more tucking and removed maybe a dozen fan leaves blocking nodes close to the canopy; rearranged a few stems for better coverage. May get some night time pics later if I'm still up. Plants are still on 15min every other day flood. Will start increasing amount of floods each day as the roots grow out out of the 6" cubes. Some 4x4x2" cubes just came in. Gonna give them a try and see if I can get them bigger faster by getting the roots to hydro sooner. These clones seem to be. 3 weeks or more ahead of schedule. My focus from now on will be decreasing turn over time.

Day 37 - last day of veg. Plenty of colas to fill the scrog. Running way ahead of schedule. Got a lot of quality tucking today. I feel I'll have a nice clean spread this grow. Decrease growtime by 20-30 days too so that's awesome. Just hope these smaller plants, with less nodes fighting for space I'll get some better top bugs and less popcorn.

"Close bed aren't life o king near as good." Hahaha my first try at that sentence after a good night off. But seriously, this batch of clones didn't adjust too well as last. They do great in the containers; I get a 100% success rate with rockwool. But I shocked them by pulling them out of their container too early. Last time I had to crack the lid for a few days to get a little bit of air flow and let them adapt to lower humidity. I increased watering to 3 mild times per day. Just transplanted to 6" cubes last Monday night I think.

My 3rd set of clones are still doing well though. Another few days at least before rooting full

 

[steppedinds]

Moved my second set of clones (taken from lower nodes that were not going to reach the scrog in time from the same plants) into 4x4x2" cubes tonight and put them under the Mars 1200. The first set were stunted a bit because I didn't slowly adjust them to the humidity by craving the little d for a few days.

Day 45 - just about finished tucking and weaving.

 

[steppedinds]

Day 70 - Girls are going strong. They branched out almost to the edge of the other side of the tent. So, I'm just going to let them finish and run both sides at same time from now on. I've got tons of clones now....30+ more ready in the closet lol. I have been hand watering them but I've grown tired of making the solution constantly so they are going back on auto-fill every other day. They are a little thirsty...watered them after I took the pics. Pics aren't great, but meh...I'll get some good stuff when they start getting close and start checking in more. This will likely be my last journal until I upgrade again for a bigger/shinier setup, or unless I decide to swap nutrient brands for comparisons.

Day 95 - Girls filled out way past their side, and toppled over to the right. Just more bud getting light at this point, lol. They're taking their sweet ass time, I think they just finished week 8 of flowering. currently on wk11 flora series schedule with triple koolbloom dry to try to get them to finish faster. I've got about a dozen clones ready to go in the tent and right into flowering, and about another dozen behind those to take their place. Also, stopped by my buddies house and took a pair of clones off his Purple Kush x Critical Mass. I'm going to be on a hunt over the next few grows for good mothers. I weeded out the best on this GG#4, but I forgot to mark a few of the generations of clones so I will have to rework it, lol.

I finally got the girls down in the tent after 9 or 10 weeks. they still probably had at least another two weeks to go but I needed to get my next crop started. I've got so many large plants ready to go to flowering that I got my tent filled and now both sides of my closet filled and ready to flower. I just did a final trim tonight and will swap them to 12/12 in the next few days. The GG has a great taste but is very airy. Like I said it needed a few more weeks but I really just didn't have the time after it already been going so long. I'll post some bud pics soon and final weight as soon as I get everything trimmed

 

[steppedinds]

Some dry buds. Most about cucumber size. Not near as dense as some in the past

24oz so far. Still got a bit to trim. I still probably won't do as much as last crew just be because I started on one side and wasn't using the full canopy. And also still probably had at least another two weeks. Buds are huge and a bit airy. they taste great and I would not recommend it though just because of the finishing time and apparently with no extra benefits from waiting in grams per watt. Next grow will be stocked full

 

[steppedinds]

I'm going to start looking at strange to have a real quick finishing time and still have a nice g:w ratio. Maybe revert to some in the past. GH Lemon skunk was a great producing strain. Will try to look for others

 

[steppedinds]

Had so many plants big enough for flowering that I went ahead and set up my tent and closet for flowering for the next session. Still all GG#4. two plants in the tent, 1 plant in the left side of the closet and six plants on the right side. I've got probably another dozen or so clones but I'll either just thrown away or give them away. I may also order 2 600w cool tubes for the closet but would have to decide soon...

 

[steppedinds]

I ended up with somewhere around 29 oz. I didnt get an exact measurement but i was expecting less than last time since much of the canopy was not full. The colas falling over and getting full light on the right side saved me i think

 

[steppedinds]

I think I'm done with flushing from now on too. Not only did I not flush this time but I also added a triple strength dose of Koolbloom Dry. I noticed an immediate difference in growth and i used it for the final 3 weeks instead of only 1. And the taste has been outstanding. I thought it was just me at first but several other people have said the same thing.
