SmokeLake Growing Hard

[SmokeLake]

This is the beginning of my perpetual journal Ive done a few short journals and find it unnecessary to keep them separated anymore. Currently I have some CPK , TropicannaBanana and CarterCrit in the tent. Outside I have StevesWeed , CPK , TropicannaBanana , CarterCrit and DrCBD growing. I will take current pics today and get this journal up to speed. Ive been busy and not on the forum much the last coupl months but I want to get back and get fine tuning my grows. Outdoor currently using MegaCrop and Indoor Canna Vega/Terra/Pk13-14/Boost. Im so far happy with the MegaCrop I may eventually switch but for now Im sticking with canna inside.

I might do this also, I noticed myself putting everything that’s going on grow related intowhat is supposed to b just a single grow journal lol

I use to do a journal for every grow but I found it to be easy on all the people to follow you to not have to go from one journal to another. At one time I had three going on at the same time it was just a mess. The K.I.S.S works for journals to

Wow really nice...well, everything

 

[SmokeLake]

Today is a sad day... a dear plant whos been with me since February died blown over literally minutes before I got back out to support it she fell over and tore clean off.

is what it is nothing I can do but cut clones and hope she lives on in the spirit of her cuttings. The rest of the girls are now properly supported really kicking my ass for not having cages on a month ago FFS.

5 remain the lost girl was the CriticalClone and the only one of its kind outdoors. Maybe next year! I will grow some of it inside this winter as its great smoke! Fingers crossed the TropicannaBanana is a good replacement for it.

Damn sorry for ur loss, at least there will b clones, and the rest r looking beast mode

Took the top buds off of 3 CriticalPurpleKush plants Ive had in the tent flowering for the last 8 weeks. They got way to heavy for their wimpy stalks so I had to tie them up it has been a bit of a mess. I need to grow a more self supportive plant. I found the tips of the upper buds were over ripe and the lowest buds under ripe. So Ive harvested the tops off.

I will update weight of harvest when its dry hoping for a solid 1/2 pound but will not be disappointed with a QP of awesome buds!!

[SmokeLake]

Outside the girls are growing exponentially its amazing every day I think shit thats huge they won’t get any bigger and the next day Im seeing wow more growth!!

They are setting up bud sites now its always amazing to watch the plants grow and bloom. Another 2 weeks tops and the stacked nodes will be little buds and they will completely change again into full bloom.

Indoors Im using Canna vega for veg and Canna Terra Pk13/14(week5) and Boost this combo works well but is not cheap to use outdoors due to volume consumed by 2+ pound yielding plants.
Last years Urban Poison Skunk was all canna and cost me a fortune. This spring I was setting up to do the same and local hydro shop was out of and not knowing when more canna was coming so I thought no way im taking chances. So I ordered the MegaCrop for outside and so far they are doing well. Im using about 16-18g per 15-18 liters of water. Ive started to add bloom booster 3g boost 15g megacrop per pail of water Ive also been ph adjusting my water with ph down to 5.8-6 range I find the promix can do ok without ph down but with the size of these plants they do much better with ph adj water.

CriticalClone (aka CraigsCrit)

TropicannaBanana

3 harvested CPK in the back Im trying to allow the lower buds to finish properly they are currently nice and sticky.

This is just before lights on I will get a better pic of the girls in the back.

Well its been over a year almost 2 years since I grew the early miss autos. Since then ive stuck to photo plants feminized at that. My next indoor grow will be autos from a contest I won on the forum here from @SeedsMan.

One of the BruceBanners is a lil beast in 48hrs it grew an inch and half long tap root.

And Im planning to run something new after these autos are done getting away from feminized seeds and possibly doing some breeding with reg seeds. I will start 4 reg seeds and see if I get a male which I will try to bonsai along with mothers for strains I want to keep that I will flower and pollinate with a high caliber father to try and bolster my own lil seed bank.

The Outdoor girls are getting massive They are all in various states of bloom DrCBD was first and the TropicannaBanana are going to be last I hope they get to finish in time this fall.

Man I love them outdoor plants got me jelly lol Very nice seed collection as well.

 

[SmokeLake]

Update Auto Grow changes in the roster due to nfg seeds. Could have been me but if a seed is not hardy enough to survive the start I give it I have little hope it will survive my care through to harvest. So I germinated some candy cane autos to take the place of the duds

I dont like to give up on the underdog but ive wasted to much time on seeds that dont grow right. I will give these autos a fair chance if they get stupid chop chop I fill space with something else!
They seem to be taking off nicely fingers crossed they turn out!

Well, what ya got in the pots today?

Hello 1969gtx
Long time no see and Thanks for stopping by. I actually have 2 tangie cookies and 1 papaya in the flower tent right now. They are about 3 weeks into flower now maybe 4 I didnt write down the day I flipped them. I also have a male but its getting messy. Hope all is well where your from. Do you have anything growing currently?

 

[1969gtx]

Nice. Happy plants, reaching for the light! Tangie is on my list to do someday, but so little time and so many choices!
Yeah, I've had stuff in the tents continually for the last 2 years, I just haven't done any journals. The current grow is Slurricane and gorillas breath, taken from clones of the last grow. I also have 3 dark devil autos growing in my veg tent.

Interesting choices I will check them out further any major pros or cons you’ve found with the way they grow or how they produce? Ive been using mega crop for feeding thru veg and flower the plants seem to respond favourably to it what nute line are you using?
