Whoa you like them kinda heavy then huh? 1/3 - 1/2 amber I would expect a lot of THC to have broken down to CBN which makes u sleepy. Some people like bud that way tho, so I say to each their own. Personally I chop when I see about 10% amber but I also use the hairs, calyx swelling, and past grow experience to make the final decision.

I agree, it is sort of a combination of things, but yeah, I like the heavier feeling in my indica dominants... For my XJ13 though, might only go about 1/4 amber....

It seems to me when people pull with cloudy or very minimal amber, the high doesn't last very long...as in most local dispensary bud...

Today is day 43 flowering...and the girls are really starting to fill out and thicken up, but still have plenty of white hairs showing so I know its going to run about 70 days or so... most of these are supposed to be 9 10 and 11 week flowering times so we will see, but it will be determined by trichome color. I would like to see at least 1/3 amber before pulling the girls, did this last time and so many told me my smoke was way better and longer lasting than most that they have tried so this seems to be a good indicator.

I've noticed that most of the local dispensary buds are still mostly clear/cloudy and don't seem to last more than 45 mins after smoking...

I supercropped some more of the cola's today, mostly to induce light stress on the developing buds as well as to allow more light to reach the underbuds as well as my lower/smaller tops buried under the larger ones...

I still have my nutrient mix on bubble, most likely will feed them tomorrow, they still are a little moist and I really want to see some leaf sag before feeding them, so hopefully tomorrow...don't want my mix to get bad...

Here are today's photo's

Day 45 Flowering, Dec 23...

The ladies are looking great....really shouldn't be too long now until there done... my Xj-13 and Kali Kandi are showing some yellowing of the larger fan's which is normal I have read...checked soil PH anyways and all are sitting just below 7ph. Today the humidity was below 10% and even with my humidifier on full blast and wet towels hung, I was able to get the RH up to 18%...

I have been reading that in flowering, lower humidities actually will increase the amount of trichomes as well as resin production, so I guess if at any time, now is perfect with the low humidity...

Other than that, everything looks great, the ladies are all looking very frosty...

Not too sure why my OG101 is developing so slowly on the CMH side vs the HPS side...seems that the HPS is developing more trichomes and the buds are further along.... weird to me because I thought UV-B was supposed to increase trichomes but this is showing the opposite. The only thing I can think is the CMH is 400w and the HPS is 600W.... ??

Here are the photo's for today..

Here is some Christmas pics of the ladies...

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas..

Here are the photo's for day 48 flowering..

Hello Icemud,

Nice updates! You've done a fantastic job here. I'm checking back in on your grow to see how you like the OG101. I procured some of these seeds from my local dispensary and I am on day 30 of flower. I broke a few resin glands between the fingers to give a test smell. Must say that this OG has a very nice terpine profile. Smells like an OG of high quality. You're thoughts?

The OG101 is different on each side of my tent...I am assuming that the left side OG101 under the 400w CMH is just not as far along because of the white hairs with very little amber showing, so it has very little amount of trichomes and a very very weak OG smell. On the other side however, under the 600w HPS, the OG is completely coated with resin glands and has a very fine OG stink to it...like a citrus gasoline rubbery pinesol smell...lol...I can tell this one will be a head knocker... Actually I am really impressed with all of them so far...The holy grail is by far the skunkiest OG im growing...its going to be killer... and the Kali Kandi *OG101 x Chocolope DNA C6 and it is so frosty it looks like carpet...and stinks of a sweet but stank OG...cant wait till there done...

So Far I have been happy with everything I have ran from Socaldam Genetics... they really have some elite and killer cuts...

Hey everyone...sorry I didn't find the time today to snap any photo's of the ladies but there looking really good. I took a trip to the hydro store today to pick up some things I was missing so I got a few familiar things as well as some new products...

Added to my regiment is Advanced Nutrients Organic B which upon much looking around I only found one other product that was thrive alive B green which was organic, so I decided to go with the AN brand because it is not just B1 but also the other important B vitamin's for MMJ.

I also picked up some more Advanced nutrients LiquidCarboload which seemed really to help aid in promising results last grow, havent done a A/B comparison, but it worked last time, so I'm sticking with it...I know that adding Molasses is virtually the same, however, I figured I would switch it up and try different combos of both to see what works best...

I also picked up another bottle of Hygrozyme because after reading much convincing evidence about the importance of amino's and enzymes in soil, and with nutrient uptake, I decided that accelerating this process and making more available for my plants to uptake, definitely cant hurt...again, another Organic product developed by fermentation...


Mixed up in 5 gallons of distilled water....starting ppm 4 7.6ph...

Added in:

Earthjuice:
Grow 90ml reduced from normal 150ml for 5 gallons, starting to slope down N
Bloom 60ml
Micro 25ml..
Catalyst 40ml
MetaK 15ml

Advanced Nutrients:
Liquid carboload 15ml
H2 Humic Acid 60ml
F1 fulvic acid 30ml
Organic B.. 50ml

1TBSP of organic molasses..

.ph was still very low but my girls were thirsty and really needed a feeding today, so decided to trust my organics and feed them with a low ph...

Added to my mix 60ml of General Organics Cal/mag
and 40ml of Hygrozyme and fed the girls...

Also trimmed off a majority of the yellowing nitrogen deprived leafs as well as any larger fan's covering bud sites...

Other than that not much was needed to be done today...

Here are the photo's..
