Hey JD, apologies for the late reply, crazy busy business development trip and fruitful but my head is still spinning - lol

Here's what they looked like this morning after some much needed water. Not bad considering they're ~ 6 weeks into flowering. Some nice thick colas and weight in there. Some decent frost coming in but they need to mature more, probably around 3 weeks. Hoping the weather cooperates, looks like temps are dropping as of today, more like mid-60's daytime and mid-40's at night. That should get them finished up nicely, as long as it doesn't snow they'll stay out.






Cheers

Noice! :0)

Am I seeing the trunk on the left plant there? Massive.

(I zoomed....that's not a moon!)

Yeah they're both nice and thick, good thing or they wouldn't be standing at this point. Those colas ate hanging heavy now, some nice weight building,!theyre hanging heavy with 3 weeks to go

Shit Dawg I'm Always One Hung Low

Update on the indoor CMH+COB ladies at Day 27/4 weeks. Thirsty beatches, barely making 48 hours between watering now, dry as a bone when I watered them last night. Good cola development for 4 weeks. Getting some bleaching on the top leaves closest to the lights, not much I can do with them as tying them back would reduce coverage so will just ride them out. The 2x Blue Pyramid (right-side 1st pic) are stacking up well, the pheno I had running before was great quality but didn't produce much, these are stacking up for a decent yield.

The Blue Ripper x Harlequin (front-left 1st pic) is a light weight compared to the rest but now starting to smell similar if not identical to the Harlequin, has that tropical fruit smoothie thing going on like the mother and similar structure. Noticed both the Blue Pyramid are beginning to mature, some hairs already turning, frost coming in. If these hold true to the first one they could finish at 49-52 days

Forgot to mention I hit a couple of branches last weekend. The Blue Ripper x Harlequin was hit (branch is center/bottom in the first pic) with pollen from the Blue Ripper x Harlequin Tri-Leaf mutant male. This first fem is unlikely a keeper (have a clone just in case it's exceptional) as other than the smell there's nothing special about it, just want some seeds from that tri-leaf male to see if the mutation gets passed on. I can pop a bunch in 2 oz. cups to test it. While I was in chucking mode and had fresh Blue Ripper pollen, I hit a branch on the Blue Pyramid P1 (bottom-right, leaning against the wall) just for fun, a mix of Blueberry & Tangerine = ?, we'll see

Cheers ttystikk, lol, my kind of "shrubs"!

Nice early frost there.

Update on the CMH+COB run at Day 34/5 weeks. Not bad but having a hell of a time trying to keep canopy temps below 85 right now so they're taking a hit in production between the higher temps and the CMH being a few inches too close. This next few weeks is always a bitch until we get some consistently cool nights, will just have to ride it out and keep tweaking to maintain the temps in a reasonable range. Have a couple of nice smelling Blue Ripper x Blue Dream gals that I'd like to flower out under the 100w COB bar I have sitting idle but need to wait until temps drop down a bit, may just clone them and run them later.

Both Blue Pyramid are maturing quick so looks like they'll hold to their 49-52 days. The Blue Ripper x Harlequin also looks like it will end up in the 50-54 day range, the Harlequin mother has finished in ~50-52 days under CMH.

Lol, don't let her see that post! I'm so busy right now finding enough time to water is a struggle so they'll have to suck it up and ride it out for this week. Looking like it's dropping to more seasonal temps by next weekend, that should drop my temps back to the 78-80 range.

I enjoy the hands on just sometimes my schedule is crazy. If I were to automate the watering I'd build a drip/flood system with a timer and large res. Tried the blu-mats and use that Claber drip system here & there but for anything larger than 1 or 2 gal neither cuts it, res isn't large enough and too many drippers needed for larger plants. You'd need 1/4" or 1/2" distribution with a 20+ gallon res for larger plants. Those 4x 5gal's I have going right now are going through 4 1/2 gal every other day so ~1/2 gallon per day per plant. That's a lot of blu-mat's!

Wow, hadnt done the math on it, but it does make sense, even with just a 3 &5 gallon pot im using 6 gal every 2-3, maybe just no till and a sprinkler system for my old age runs lol

Here's the current state of the outdoor gals, looking pretty good for ~7 weeks into flowering. They'll need another 1.5 - 2 weeks or so to finish up and looks like we're good for frost or snow for that period right now. Supposed to drop down to 55-60F days and 45F next weekend so that should help finish them. They were pulled by this time last year, quite the difference but there's some serious weight on those colas, pic #3 the top buds have bent to almost 90 degrees, lots of frost as you can see in the close-up

Good to see your buds growing that nice at those canopy temps because that's what I am fighting right now with the 1K HPS lol..........

Cheers Evil, good luck fighting hps temps! This in between period in fall and spring is always a bitch to keep things dialed in. It's easier if the season just drops fast or climbs fast. We're still getting to 70 during the day and last night was 60, most years by now we've had our first frost, night temps would be down to 35-40. Outside night temps need to drop down to below 45F to drop the temps in the room, once the ground gets cold I'm good to go.
