Watered the TGA forest this morning... they are very happy and growing and growing now... they got 25% of the mild nute dose last time and 33% this time... they'll get 50% next time... (of the 1-1-1 formula ;) ). They are already getting crowded though... luckily the trays for these pots come in today and I got enough to space them out some... also, the taller ones are ready to be topped and clones taken this weekend (about 2/3...the other 1/3 probably too short but maybe by this weekend they'll stretch more). Space dawgs should be showing gender soon I think especially with a little more chance to grow.
 
So. Quick story on yesterday adventure.

Yest. was a watering day. Watered all plants and inspected them and all was good BUT I found 2 calyxes on one cola of the Ace with bananas.
A sac of 4 in one calyx, and a sac of 3 in another.
So I cut those calyxes out perfectly and the bud is straight RED man :D

But anyhow, I went and got a paint brush, crushed than bananas and pollinated the Ace, a Chemdawg, a Darkstar, and the GDP, so hopefully the pollen received..
If so man, it'll be a first few couple experiments :)

Hopefully the smoke is a winning one.

PS, Looks from my angle that you should get 3 from those :D

Interesting... i've been looking haven't found any nanners yet on any of the 6... was worried last night and had to use the scope but it was just a bleached leaf.

a/c making a horrible noise earlier today, then stopped working... i am now here with no a/c and waiting for a/c guy to come... who lives down the block and is acquaintances with the landlord... same guy that came out a few months back. Cleaned up, put in new air fresheners, had the wife cook dried fish... should be good to go :) but sucks nevertheless... all the plants are in the dark til a/c guy comes... flower room won't be affected.. going to be hard to run veg room with no ac....

Good news and bad news is... bad news is it won't be fixed til tomorrow :( Good news is the problem is one of the fan blades tore itself in half, so it just has to be replaced and I don't even have to be home which means he's not planning on coming inside when done... no shut down tomorrow. I am getting ready to turn the lights back on flower room has its own a/c so no problem there :) For the veg room i'm going to have to swap out the 400w HPS for the 200w CFL and maybe only run one LED tonight to keep the heat down... hopefully the room won't get too hot from just that and they'll get by until the a/c is fixed tomorrow. So could've been a lot worse...

The august heat is making me do some planning though... it is getting up over 80 degrees in there by late afternoon/evening so I am probably going to give them an extended dark and switch up the flower time again so that the lights run at the cooler time of day... also I was planning on running 24 hours starting in september when the next batch goes to flower... that will be impossible with the heat the way it is and the buildup in there... so the current plan is that as soon as this batch gets done and mostly harvested, I'm going to go ahead and hook vents and a fan up to the HPS and vent in/out the window will have to redo the a/c vent output through the window as well... probably going to look at sealing the room as airtight as possible and putting in a carbon filter... that'll make running co2 a lot more efficient too as well as keeping me from getting busted...

Just posted picks of the BCS pheno ace in tga by others thread you'll have to check there if you wanna see or maybe i'll post tomorrow but i need to get to bed....

the biggest ace of spades went into the dark to go to harvest tomorrow... found a bunch of nanners on her. She is the only one i've seen them on though so she just won't go to round 2... could've been several things that stressed her into doing it, but they all have had pretty much the same stresses for the most part... either way i don't need a finicky plant in my garden even if the nanners are the last week of flower

more flower pics tomorrow

Big ace getting trimmed tonight after 2 days in the dark

Just weighed the small ace #1 cola - 6.2g! the bigger colas are easily 2x+ the weight of the smallest... hopefully a sign of good yields to come :)

Will be checking trichs on a few tonight, will probably take pics... we'll see.

TGA forest getting huge... a real canopy now that won't let light down below...

Ace #1 - the smallest branch of manicured buds that weighed 6.2g
View attachment 2779595

Can you believe this is without co2 and under a 600w! This isn't even half the colas -- too bad she nannered... i think the others look like around half the yield of this one... i think this one may set a new personal record once she's done weighing in. I hope I find one that looks like this with the same sized buds and super potent (haven't tried this one yet but doubting she's the best of the lot) and super black cherry soda smell/taste

No idea this run I've only had nanners under the one plant that was under hps that I haven't grown previously. The only time I ever got them before was from a light leak scenario on the ones closest to the light leak so not really comparable. Crossing my fingers that nothing else has nanners up there.. haven't seen any yet anyway...

Went in today the local hydro store today to pick up some roots to finish mixing super soil and lookee what I found!! picked up 2 bags of base and 2 of super soil... so as of now all the transplants into base soil are going to be into tga base soil (it's the same price as roots) and next harvest will be a mix of my home made super soil for some and the bag super soil for others... too bad i won't be running clones vs clones.

Ace #1 (the one I've been talking about pulling since just before day 49) is getting trimmed now... harvest getting in full swing now... keeper pheno timewreck or the other chunky squat ace will be next tomorrow

Didn't get a chance to post as it was the last thing I did before bed last night... scoped the Space Dawgs. 2 boys, 2 girls, 2 90% sure girls (female preflowers but no apparent pistils yet)

Going to scope the older dr whos and mickey kush later
