Evening folks. Figured I would stroll through with another update and give those who are watching another peek into my favorite place to be!!
Today was the end of week 5/Start of week 6. I mixed up a batch of nutes, and added the Overdrive. I am not completely sold on this product, and have kicked myself every time I used it so far, but I hope it will have different results on different strains. Before when I used it, on a few strains I ran, it would just throw them into another round of producing Calyx and pistils, which is fine, but that new growth would never be ready by harvest. The pistils would still be white, mixed in with already browned, receided calyx/pistils. If I don't like the results this time, I will scrap it from my late bloom nute list.
Things otherwise are going great. I was persistent with the Hermi's, and they have stopped producing male parts all together. I would say in total, I only picked off about 12 sacks between 5 plants, so it wasn't a HUGE problem to deal with. I just looked them over extra close once every 2 days, and caught them all before they opened. With about 3 weeks left, I am getting less and less concerned with a rogue pollen sac opening. Pistils are starting to turn red all around, and will be starting to swell soon. I will keep an eye open for late popping nanners though.
I am glad I only have a few weeks left. Temps are starting to heat up, and even running lights through the night is starting to stay a bit too warm. My highest temps have been around 85, and never for more than 6 hours. This will definitely be the last run before summer temps hit. I don't have an A/C yet, and no way my ventilation will keep it below 90. I usually throw down a few outdoors, so I am stoked for that. I love growing big fat buds under the sun!!
On to the good stuff. Pics taken tonight. Frost is setting in nicely. My 3 Chemo plants are going to be little hogs. I figure when they are said and done, they will each be around 14 inch of pure bud, fat as a pop can. So far the stinkiest by far is the Great White Shark. That shit has a mad skunk smell. If you touch a bud, it will literally stink up the room you are in, an hour later.. Just from the resin on your fingers. I always have to wash my hands with some Hand Sani. to get rid of the stink. The blueberry Kush is right on schedule, and starting to look beautiful. The Purple Kush is looking like it is going to be very oily. It is starting to shine like its wet.
