TBE Growing The Dream

[thebigearl]

Hey @thebigearl! Huge chuncky buds on those girls! How's the garden doing?

Doing well my friend, doing well.
Last Friday one of the plants literally collapsed under its own weight, it was wild and scary at the same time! Every branch just gave up and fell over... I had to bear hug it then tie some string around to hold. All 4 have reinforcements. Just to top heavy.

I'm pretty close to harvest, last Friday was 1/4 nutes, yesterday was just water + calmag. Next feed will be just water.
Looks like mostly cloudy on the trichomes.

Pics are from this morning.
Those fan leafs are from the pinewarp plants, just massive. Lol

Wow, congrats on having a problem like that. Too much bud? Certainly not!! Just great growing methods! Very nice job, TBE. Cheers

That’s common for the stem to fail on the plant, as the buds get heavier, the stem just gives out. It’s like someone who is obese, their knees are the first to fail. Good job tying them up and supporting that weight. Your colas are looking marvellous!! Great freaking job man!

P.s nice socks, I’ve got the same ones haha

 

[thebigearl]

Lol yup! These gals are getting fat and old, just a wee bit longer to go!

Last water was yesterday. Couple days till they get the knife /scissors.

Just now I was in there inspecting, letting out some humidity and noticed... Bugs! No real signs of any on the plants, or any damage to the plants, I find them on the wooden floor... Not sure what they are, look like a small beetle like insect.

 

[Backlipslide]

Kind of looks like a larder beetle. Don’t know much about them, but I did figure that out.

Plants are looking awesome dude!! Now to keep those damn beetles outside of the grow area

 

[thebigearl]

Thanks brother!
I was honestly shocked when I saw the little bugger moving! After I take these girls out and before putting the pinewarp in I'll do a good cleaning, bleach etc etc.

These are the pinewarp pictures before (not doing a journal on them, at this point)

 

[Backlipslide]

That’s an impressive fan leaf!!

 

[thebigearl]

Tried my hand and doing bubble hash tonight.
Decent little haul, about 4oz of popcorn buds and a bit of trim.

Yo brother! Those colas are getting so damn fat! Flowers are nice and frosty too. Gonna be a great haul of quality bud!
Tasty looking bubble hash - i'm a huge fan of hash bro, and my mouth started watering when i saw your hash run pics Insanely big fan leaves on the Pinewarp! Some big solar panels on those girls sending all that energy to your buds. Looking forward to the harvest, i hope you've got some helping hands as you've got loads of trimming ahead of you

 

[thebigearl]

Thanks man!
I almost chopped last night but I decided to do couple more days with a different light schedule, I changed to 8/16.
Flipped the pinewarp to 12/12 as well. I anticipate them stretching a fair amount!
Hash.... Haven't had hash in years, I'm pretty excited for it!

Pics from last night

Top top quality! letting her go a few more days won't hurt her, hopefully she'll put on a lil' extra weight for you.

 

[thebigearl]

I killed em!
Day 63 of flower. Cleaned out grow shack, bleached down. And moved the pinewarp in.
Chopped plants at the base and hang to dry. I didn't wet trim at all.
(Sorry, I'm not sure how to put the pictures in order of selection on phone, so they're a bit mixed up)

 

[Backlipslide]

Loving the photos man!!

Keep em’ coming!

 

[irie lion]

Damn those girls are looking heavy hanging there, big congrats on a solid harvest! You’re gonna pull loads of quality bud off there.
Next batch of girls looking super good!

 

[thebigearl]

Just a couple drying shots for the pallat!
These beauties smell just delicious!
