Fruity Chronic Juice, WOS Strawberry Blue, Nirvana Bubblelicious

ok i'll give you a peek into the jungle i'm trying to maintain. Please feel free to give any advice as to what you think i can do. I know it's over crowded... lower growth is losing a bit of light due to the density of the canopy but I basically had to add another plant to the tent. I have a little too many on my hands right now and i don't want em to go to waste.....

for the most part they are all grwoing fine and keeping green. I've fed half strength bloom nutes to my Fruity Chronic Juice. I think next water I'll do a complete flush with 1/3 strength veg nutes to keep some N in there and see how it goes.
Fruity Chronic Juice seems to have a straight indica structure. tight internodes even in stretch and lstd great. It's a heavy feeder but....like i said. I want to flush next week... THE SMELL SO FAR ... sweet, and rotten fruit... well very acrid and pungent in a fruity way ......LOL ...rotten fruity
Strawberry Blue is beautiful very dense, very compact, and lst'd beautifully.... had some yellowing and drop on the lower growth due to the the stretch and early use of bloom nutes. or at least that's what i've observed so far in growing.... tends to be a pattern i have to break.... the smell is VERY SWEET, VERY BERRY.
Bubbleicious is .. doing just great!!! the smell sweet candy. It has a bit more of stretch to it than the others and longer internodes but the canopy has stayed even
Bubblelicious is gorgeous ...
My mystery AF Roadrunner/AutoHaze?? is doing good ... it's budding up. But i don't give it love and care.
I think it may be the haze though ...give me some more time and i'll let ya know ...
anyways here's some pics ....... Please give me any ideas or thoughts ...
i gotta gnat problem to ...so i'm keeping my ear to the ground for any advice on that also ........blah.

TY for the peep show...lol

Looking beautiful man! Looks like me you and stinkbudd are gonna be having Merry Christmas's if all goes as well as it has thus far. I'll be keeping an eye on your journal as well.

If you get a chance check out my grow journal:
My First Grow Journal--400 Watt HPS Soil Grow,4-XXX Super Skunks and 1-Green Goo

Yes indeedy, i think he's a lil ahead of us but we are all on schedule for a fine X-mas...

Nope i'm right on time with you guys i think ...... I started the 20th of Oct. so i'm figuring the FCJ will be done first ...and I'd imagine that it'll be christmas day harvest.

well dont worry, with a dry and quick 3 day cure you should have some good bud to blow Newyears day..while the rest cures up...

Looking great buddy...
I'm chopping my Strawberry Blue tomorrow...
I think I'm at week ten... they keep packing on more and more flowers...
Still don't see amber trichromes... milky ones, yes...

Whats up Ataxia? Sub? just dropped in to see what happening, hey sub so you are chopping your SB today ? are you going to post some pic's please do and shoot me the sig to them if you can im sure they came out nice,,,,Peace

yeah man .. I'm waiting for the pics too ... I'm coming along nice... I have a shitload of pics i took the past few days .... now i just have to get to resizing all of em. SB is coming along GOOOOOD. Best of the bunch so far.

Glad to know my friend i cant wait...Peace

nice set up you got there, also the plants are INSANE. huge your going to have a good yield, stupid question because im doing 3 autoflowers now, bubblelicious included, are your plants autoflowering? I wanted to LST but read everywhere on auto its not good to do.. if your bubble is auto then i know its fine because they look great. also the bubble seems to be taking a while to start budding compared to other plants, you can check my journal if u want write something. im on the same schedual as you guys hopefully curing, or cured budz for christmas!! merry early xmas guys, big ups

thanks for the compliment my man! but to answer your question ... No the bubbleicious isn't an auto .... I have one auto in there that's a dinafem roadrunner or haze? i got the seeds mixed up when i was planting them so i don't know. but two tips ....
I've heard the nirvana autos are/were complete crap right now and they have a problem flowering on the autoflower schedule .... I'd switch em to 12/12.. that seems like it's working for some people....
as far as the LST ...... you can absolutely do it .. but i think stressing the plant makes it more suspect to hermie ......from the little i've read on autos they have a tendency to herm easily hence the suggestion for no LST i guess ... rep or paying attention....
btw.....
I'll have pics soon i promise..... fucking technology.
/

so still no pics yet ...i wish i could just post without resizing.
but i have an update
MOTHERFUCKING AUTOFLOWER HERMIED.... i saw it last night. I've been keeping an eye out but don't know how i missed it. Looked like the bottom branch started forming seed custers or male flowers ......no bananas that i saw .
I'm just fucking praying none of my other plants were pollinated....
how long you think i'll be able to tell if they were.... that is if anyone is still paying attention.

here's some pics finally ....I'm sorry i don't have more. They're not the greatest .. I'm about a month into flower. I've labled all of em. My one fruity chronic juice suffered some lockout. the other are getting a bit too yellow for my taste so I'll give em another dose of veg nutes. I need a bigger tent. In the meantime. hope you enjoy

i'm gonna bump my journal up.... ANYONE have any suggestion on what the hell to do with my plants that are in veg ..... they're in the last pic above... they're about 2 foot vegged, lst'd, supercropped. I still have about a month left in my flower tent.... think i should just start flowering under the t5's and cfls???? I have alot of plant on my hands....

Come on man no need to bump your a RIU stoner ,lol we are all here just in one zone or another you know that bro! Hey they look real nice and you dont have any close up shots so cant really see if any hae been polinated or not the way i told mine last trip was how fast the hairs turned very dark and redish almost instantly within a few daysh hairs started going brown on me.but you and i are right about the same pace and sub is a lil farther along then both of us i cant wait to see his as well i think we are all in for a treat...As for the monsters in veg man id flip those girls now for sure and hope like hell they dont explode, they look great good and healthy so yeah flip them under the t5's and then the last 6 weeks or so pop them puppies under the hps and have some fun..IIm glad you have them grow out that far before flower because i wabt to see the difference in yield with longer veg..Peace I just posted some pic's last night...

no ..i don't think anything was pollinated. I've kept an eye out... i got the auto out just in time. Little muthafucka. I'm done with auto's my plants are coming along well ...so far. The Fruity Chronic is/was locked up so i have a bunch of yellowed spotted leaves from a CalMag def.. IMO. It was flushed over a week ago.... this strain exhibited this in both plants i grew out of the FCJ. It looks like an amazing producer, but i don't think I'll run it again.
I planted some GHS Lemon Skunk today they're beginning to sprout but i can see some fungus gnats in the soil.... I'm hoping they can make it through those little bastards ... I got rid of em for the most part due to the cold weather but some still linger.
also I'll probably start flowering the DNA- Cole Train, Sweet Seeds-Cream Caramel, and CH9- California within the next day or two. They're fucking monsters ....
thanks again Stink for the comments .... pics will be up soon

Still looking amazing man, me and you both don't have too much longer. I can't wait for christmas and new years, even if I only have some small buds cured up i'll be so happy. This is kind of my ultimate test grow to find out my average yield/quality on a pretty low cost grow(when nothing breaks). Based on how I do i'll know if i'm going to continue on a larger and more expensive/serious grow, and either way i'll be growing a bunch outside this next year. You guys should see my vegetable garden, it would blow your mind too. I just wish I could grow crazy purple buds right next to my purple, golden and blue zebra striped heirloom tomatoes. One Day.......

Anyways keep up the good work, I'm following about 6 grows right now besides yours and stinkbudds and I love being able to compare. My girlfriend says its like a bunch of women that are all pregnant and expecting and they hang around talking about their babies lol.

Hey ataxia

If you are sure you have a full month of veg left, and your veg plants are sufficiently healthy/growing normally, then i would suggest you simply cut the plant how you want it to look. When I get ahead of myself in veg I will take the top 1-5 inches off many shoots, causing the rest of the plant to shoot up into the canopy while the snipped tips recover and turn into two shoots. I have never had any problems with wounds created by this, not with 7+ strains, and every climate and scenario imaginable. I have seen large plants cut down to almost nothing, only to come back bigger and better than they ever were before, often with truly HUGE stalks after such a long life/extended veg. NOTE--this is all under 600 watt HID lighting, making recovery faster. My understanding is that you veg entirely under flo's? I have used this technique to great effect on vegging plants of all ages and sizes under an 8 bulb, 4 foot T-5. That thing puts out 250 watts so it's basically a small HID in terms of growing energy. If your plants are healthy, hacking them down just above any 2 main shoots will result in a wishbone of new dominant shoots. Done properly, this will delay your veg as long as you want! This is not exactly the ideal way to veg, but sometimes schedules change, nobody I've met has their timing down as well as they want. These plants are incredibly resilient. I myself grew Fruity chronic juice last spring and used this method to great effect. Got one really great mother phenotype out of the bunch hope you have a similar experience.

Thanks so much for the tip my man!! I had actually contemplated this... shaping the plant up ...cutting the tops a bit down to size. I've literally supercropped every branch in there ,but i do need tbe height to come down a bit. They're going on almost 3 feet from base to top. and LST will not work for me at this point since the plant is also gaining width.
I will surely try this method on one plant just for a test run to see how it reacts.
So you grew out Fruity Chronic??? how was the smoke. It's the shortest, and best producer i have right now. Funny thing about it is it says the finishing time is under 60 days however, it's the least ripe of any of the strains i'm growing. The Strawberry blue and Bubblelicious claim to take 70 and look about up to speed
