Quite gorgeous there HH. WW was in my first tent grow. Last week I smoked some of the re-veg harvest from June 2016. Never underestimate the power of the White Widow.

Good morning Sue

Good morning my favorite magical man.

You know, I haven’t done a reveg yet. One of these days. Maybe start with a hempy reveg. They take up less footprint and they’re easier to move around.

MaddHacker, are you working from your phone? They’re still having difficulties getting the new platform properly up and running. Please be patient. The compose functions are still sporadically functional on phones. I have to grab the iPad to insert more than words. Lol!

They made the switch to improve mobile functionality. They won’t stop working their fingers to the bone until it’s all running smoothly. We can be patient and let them do their thing.

Sue,

What do you love so much about the Carnival? You have grown it for a couple years, right?

 

[SweetSue]

Shall we?


Weekly Update: Clone Cuttings and Veg Shelf - Friday, March 16, 2018

At the moment I only have two cuttings, one Jamaican and a Devil's Carnival. I'll still have another stab at the Jamaican, but if I lose this DC cutting I'll have to reveg one of the solo cups. That idea just came to me as I typed this. Lol!

Jamaican 1.3 (Day 45) She had a Transplant drench today, and by tomorrow she'll have recovered enough that I can start cinching her more upright.

Jamaican 1.3 (Day 45)

• SweetSue
• Mar 16, 2018

I let her dry out one day too long. Not something I'm proud of. As soon as the Carnival comes down she goes into that tent. Red Diesel and Black DOG get the next slots.

Red Diesel (Day 124) The Jamaican in the tent will be coming down wthin the next couple weeks, and at that moment both Red Diesel and Black DOG get upcanned and flipped. This struggling girl got a TransWater drench directly after these pictures were taken. I'm thinking I'll hit these three girls with a DeStress foliar in the morning when I get up to check the cob.

Behind her you see the seed starting mat. I moved it into here in hopes of raising the temps, and it's worked a bit. The top of the shelves is covered, keeping most of the heat inside.

Then she got a good drink of Transplant and I stared to open her up and do some defoliation. Nothing drastic yet, just to get more light into that packed space.

I'm happier with that. By the time I can get them upcanned I'll have established more control. What they all cry for is more soil.

Sue,

What do you love so much about the Carnival? You have grown it for a couple years, right?

Oh my gosh lazyfish, what's not to love about Carnival? Crack a jar open around anyone familiar and you'll see an appreciative smile spread across the face. Lol! Around my neck of the woods we call it "the good stuff" and for good cause.

It's the chemovar my BIL saves for last, and the one both patients say "does it all."

It offers a clear, focused, friendly euphoric experience, filled with energy and the motivation to do something fun with that energy. I'm not the only woman who's enjoyed detailing her home under the influence. Lol!

20% + THC values make it good choices for cancer treatments and pain management.

One of the best features is there's no crash, just an awareness that it's time to extend the buzz with a couple more hits. I can smoke right up to bedtime and fall into sound and restful sleep, get up in the morning and be ready to go all over again.

Carnival brownies are my favorite. I haven't yet grown enough to supply myself with a steady supply for those brownies and still supply my patients. Haha! I make certain they have theirs. I have many other options. Quite frankly, I'd grow only Carnival and DDA and be happy as I could be. I grow for others, and so I concede

The Tiny Closet

It looks more crowded than it is, but it's filled pretty much to the max.

Devil's Carnival 1.5 (Day 74, flip + 9) Both she and the Jamaican in the 2-liter bottle are still drinking the entry bloom nutes, 14 ml Parts -& B with 1 ml of Energy for every gallon of water used. She's holding strong for the abuse she lived through before I started taking better care. Looks to me like she's a day out from having those blossoms burst open.

CBD Critical Cure 2.8 (Day 64, flip + 29) I dropped her back to 14 ml of A & B with 8 ml of Bulk. I'd bumped her to 16 + 8 and her leaves protested. I decided to start listening to the plants. I think most of what I grow starts to protest when I hit the upper levels suggested by the nutrient company.

Devil's Carnival 1.6 (Day 65, flip + 21) She and the Jamaican in the other solo cup are both drinking the 14 + 8 mix with CBD CC 2.8. Everyone seems to be happier at that level through the mid point of bloom. I'll hit them again with the 16 + 4 when I think they're ready for it., but I'll shy away from 16 + 8.

This chemovar tends to finish before 50 days. I'm wondering how being in this tiny cup will effect that timeline.

Jamaican 1.4 (Day 42, flip + 5) she's drooping because I got so lost in the cobs that I forgot to water her first thing this morning. I promised her it would be the last time I was so negligent and promptly got her the nutrient-laden hydration she was gasping for. She's on the entry level 14 ml + 1 of Energy.
