Thanks to RIU I managed my first grow. Still have two girls I'm waiting to chop around middle of Oct give or take.

This is not a nice trim, nor that nice looking or super super dense. But it is bomb. Potent and not that fluffy. I salvaged a zip from the caterpillar plant . plus they were expected to yield small. Lesson learned with those pillars . Thanks again members of RIU I feel satisfaction regardless View attachment 2828970View attachment 2828971

Here's my weekly update of my deck grow.

First with my purple bag seed plant. It's the only one small enough for me to be comfortable to move into the small spot of sun that opened up today. How much longer do you think on this one, two weeks?



Harlequin, upper half of plant, the main cola and a closer shot of a branch top.



One of the Kandy Kush plants



Another Kandy Kush



Edit: Not too bad for a first timer if I may say. All photos taken with a Canon EOS 20d with an EFS 17-85 lens.

Question for you experts. My Kandy Kush plants above are fattening up and have no branch support. Would it hurt for me to loop string around the ends of the branches and tie them to the top of my PVC so they can have some support as they get heavier? I don't want to put anything in the buckets for fear of damaging the root system.

 

[doublejj]

Yes tie them up, before they break........looking great btw!....P.S. sorry I answered before the experts got here......well I think you should tie them up anyway...

Thanks GB and getaway. This site helped me all the way. Just when I was ready to chuck the plants, all the comments and positive feed back, I'm glad I picked out the doo-doo stuff and kept the good.

I'm experimenting with organic molasses on the last two. Since I'm using organic feed. Maybe it will fatten them up? I've read conflicting stuff. Stay lifted RIU

This is very true for me too, I don't think my grown would be half of what it is without this forum. RIU is an awesome resource with some great people on it! I bought their app via google play and was very disappointed with it, however if it helped to support the site there are no regrets

I could not take camera with today, so best I can do is post chop. I really like this strain, trichs give you an even spread of clear/cloudy/amber. This gives the grower a nice harvesting window of 7-9 weeks b/c it just keeps producing resin. I've run this caramel candy kush indoors several times, and even at 9 weeks it still produces clear trichs...which threw me for a loop on the first run last winter. I let one go almost 10 weeks, and still had the same clear/cloudy/amber ratio.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!...time for me to trim and smoke!

So why do outdoors accumulate yellow leaves no matter what?...this question has been bothering me all summer.

Nice work BTW!

Because the plants are entering the end of their life cycle and no longer feed the fan leaves, choosing to put their energy into the flowers instead?

found the first budworm this morning. i have a master's eye for these things, the thing was so damn small that he had done virtually no damage to the bud.

a slight, semi cavity gave away his location. i cut the smallish cola and trimmed it and will sample it in a few days once dry.

also took samples from a couple other plants. i know if they smoke well, then a premature harvest won't be the end of the world.

alright back to work on this tin bending now.

 

[TripleMindedGee5150]

The lemon kush and kerala skunk. The latter was a free seed, and it feels rubbery asssssss hellll?!?!?! Anyway that's going to become butter anyway.
I've introduced organic molasses and it seems to keep the soil wettness on par. Or maybe the weather. But the caterpillars have been eradicated. As the treatment for the moth prophecies....HAPPY FRIED DAY! BLESS UP
OH and the baby top from the GDP. Don't have the heart to chop her.......

edit:: Screwed up on pruning early on. Got the hang of it now. I actualy removed a few fan leaves after the first pic....

First rains came to Northern California this afternoon and pretty much wiped me out. Broken branches and the buds have another month to go. Heartbroken. I guess I can chalk it up to experience and try again next year. The lesson learned: Give your plants support! Put cages and trellises around them. When they stretch and have heavy bud on them, they will break if it rains. I'm screwed. Maybe next year. I'm pissed!
