good morning and a fine weed Spimp

And good weed to you too sir. Todays the day he is going in the lights out box. Im pretty excited. This extra time I know is gonna be benificial. Im gonna post some pre-dark pics a little later. Im stoked to check out them trics today!

Update to first harvest smoke report: Been curing for 5 days. So so smooth of a smoke. The smell in the jar is kinda weird. Its like a mix of weed and tea. But once you start breaking it up, its straight dank smell. The draw is super smooth. It takes a massive hit to get ya coughing. Even the release is smooth. No more Chlor taste at all. And the best part is, she has a very 'happy' high. Some of that may be because Im so proud

 

[alex801]

Well done congrats pleased the smoke has matured
Lookin forward to the piks

Already a page back.... Look awsome spimpster. Man that plant is just bud like bud everywhere

 

[Spimp]

Ya im pretty happy about this transformation...

 

[alex801]

Awsome man and haha I hope not in my neighbourhood lol

 

[alex801]

What time scale is there between the two piks spimp?
I'm hoping my girls seriously pump up in the next 3-4 weeks

 

[Spimp]

6 weeks-ish.But from everything Ive seen, they ae gonna do some swelling for ya sir. Molasess. Or treacle. Plats suck up ready to use carbs and dont have to produce food. They can focus on buds. You should take a pic a day of one bud in the same spot, and see how it does. It would be very interesting. I just read a crazy article about preharvest flushing... basically saying dont do it. And in a weird way it makes sense... But Ill let you be the judge: PREHARVEST FLUSH

Read the summary at least if is too long for ya. BBBUUUUTTTT draw your own conclusions. Im happy with how smooth my first batch is, and I think the flush helped that fo sure.
The one Im boxing up tonight will be interesting. She got the same flush about 3 weeks ago, then she got sick. As you can see. The yellowing was not a huge issue but I had some serious micro defincies. I went back to water+molasses+ff TB for lst week. Still yellowing, but no spotty leaves anymore. Guess im gonna hafta do some more reading...

 

[alex801]

Well that certainly has me leaning away from a pre harvest flush.
Man I dunno what I make of that. Guna reed it start to finish I only read the summary and a couple select sections

Thanks for the link

And what a good idea of singling out a bud or two to record growth

 

[Spimp]

So shes in the box. gave her a dose of molasess+water and off to bed. Ill be seeing her friday night!

Check this out:

This is what 80% of the leaves that have crispy ends look like when I pull them off. Which doesnt take much btw. Looks to me like shes sucking up the N. Hopefully I can use Fish Cakes trimming method on her to get her right. Close eyes, picture tree, open eyes, make tree.

Also I reconfigured the box for my sprout. Put her in the sun today for about an hour. She is reactive to light for sure! But still yellow. I have 4 -26w 6500k cfls and 2-26w 2700k on her. Probably would have gone all 6500k but I only had 4.
Dinner time, I hear a rumbly in my tumbly. Im thinking Mexican...

Great work Spimp looking forward to the wrap up

 

[Spimp]

Looks like I made a good descion to go the extra 2 weeks. This girl is smelling lovely. No pics, afterall she still in the box til tomorrow. My little one has flourished since going under the 6 CFL's. She still a little yellow, but if she makes it til the next watering Ill take care of her.

 

[Spimp]

OK, changed my mine. Checked the new girl and thought id show a 48hr update:

FF Grow Big micro dose, moved from 2 cfl's to 6 26w CFl's and 48hrs later, progress:

I may post a pic of her progress on here til I close this one in a week or so then Ill make a new journal. Hope ya'll dont mind

 

[runewulfsong]
