Strawberry Cough Kings Kush Critical Acapulco Gold Sensi Star& Original Skunk #1 grow

I borrowed a nicer camera and I have tons of HQ pics for your viewing pleasure.

Nothing really to report so ill let the pictures speak.


FYI the close up bud shots that arent under the HPS lights are the Strawberry Cough and the Sensi Star in case anyone was wondering.

thanks.

more specifically the ones w/ a tile background are strawberry cough buds. the orange-ish background is the sensi star buds.

so what do you guys think? yay? nay? fu*k off and die? send me a bud? lol

Beautiful looking bud. The trichromes on some of those shots are just awesome.

hey thanks man. I was thinking the same thing. I havent seen trichs so big before that you can see them with the naked eye ("mushroom" top and all) When i get another chance ill borrow the camera again and snap shots of the critical+ as it has the biggest trichs that look like the main colas are glimmering when not under the hps.

send me a bud!! hahah im out.. lmfao!!!

themz gettin frosty my friend, what day 12/12 ARE YOU ? oh and on a damprid note, i dont think its working anymore, but i could be that it rained yesterday and my rh went waaay up...
but pondering that we are creating and "outdoor environment" inside i dont think that those damprid buckets are meant to be used "outside" so maybe only a temporary fix did u put in a new breaker?

no new breaker yet and my damprid hasn't worked for shit either. It didnt work AT ALL. not even the slightest change in RH and i bought the biggest damprid bucket they had (said it was intended for use in large spaces).

im just gonna return it as there is no point to keeping something that i wont use. I left it in for 3 days...after i didnt see a change i took it out of the room as theres no sense to it sitting there doing nothing.

my daytime humidity is a non-factor at 49-52% average. my nighttime humidity is a slight factor as its almost always 55-61% but never over 61.

im hoping if i can manage to stay in the 50s that everything will be alright considering i have a butt load of fans and an a/c that runs almost all the time to battle that humidity and its been the biggest help of anything i have at my disposal. Im still contemplating running a space heater during lights out even though ive heard it wont help.

heres my reason/logic: 1st off during lights out i played with having my exhaust/intake still running and it barely made a dent in the humidity. it still stays high even with everything but the lights running during lights out.

soon as the lights come on humidity starts to drop. within 1 hr of lights on im down to 49-52% again. so it has to be something with the higher temps (from the lights) thats bringing down the humidity as thats all that was different yesterday between lights out and lights on...i usually dont run the exhause/intake during lights out but i did to see if that was the problem.

So im thinking maybe run intake/exhaust, plus my fans, plus the space heater.

could it work?

You know what I'm going to say, fucking rockin. sorry I haven't been around too much, fighting off some fungus gnats.

oh that sucks what are you using? If you're not in flowering use spinosad (monterey brand is what i use...i give them a good mist during veg and once right when i see the first pistils then no more throughout flowering) if you're already in flower put a good sized layer of sand covering the entire surface area of the pot.

it'll kill the larva as it trys to make its way above the soil.

Im still battling the humidity. It was slightly worse yesterday (climbing into the low 60's during lights out) but generally im between 49-52% during lights on and 55-60 during lights out. its a constant battle but i combed over my plants for signs of mold. so far so good (yes i delicately peeled back a few buds on the main cola to see if it was forming). it didnt smell the part nor was it all mushy like it usually is when you get mold.

so *fingers crossed*

i also brought in a space heater for occasional use as for some reason higher temps = lower humidity. i was told its not true but i dont have any other explanation as all my fans plus intake/exhaust run 24/7 now so the only difference is the lights are on or off (ie. the change in temp).

im not sure how true it is but from my observation its the heat/temps making the difference in humidity.

where is the KK?

well i didnt take any close up pics of it because frankly its a runt that i almost chopped down as its taking up room unnecessarily. buds are tiny and popcorn like for no good reason. its been the runt since day one and the bud production is a joke. i just decided to let it finish since i brought it all this way but if i do run out of room it'll be the first one gone.

the close up buds shots are sensi and strawberry cough. ill get some closeups of the critical and OS#1 soon. id take close ups of the AG but it still hasnt filled out yet (its gonna be the last one left in flower im sure)

I'm using garlic and tobacco juice in a little ph adjusted water, works just fiiiiine... and quite free in my case.

my girls are off to a slow start, but i will have something to share with the class in a week or so. I do have one for sure female pheno that looks like yours, but I have another for sure female that only has 3 leaves, curiouser and curiouser.

One love! cool as fuck, daps, out.

ok folks. Today i watered my Critical, and Strawberry Cough. I fed the Sensi Star and kings kush.

I LST'd my Original Amnesia and Confidential Cheese in veg. The original amnesia grows pretty much how you'd expect a sativa dom to grow. the Confidential Cheese grows very indica like (w/ very little side branching). the GWS is still the runt and not ready for LST imo (im noticing a trend of runts associated with GHS now!)

the KK in flower smells like complete crap btw. its the most offensive smelling strain in flowering (not in a "good smelly pot" kind of way either). Im certain its not mold...the buds are far too tiny all the way from the top to the bottom. the whole plant is literally popcorn nuggets. think of the smaller pieces of popcorn chicken from KFC. very dense but tiny, tiny.

My humidity in the dark cycle is finally going down w/ some help of the space heater! My nighttime humidity peaked around 57. not bad considering i was around 61-62%. my daytime humidity dips as low as 48 as of today. im feeling better about this and may not get the dehumidifier as i found a simpler solution (i believe! its only one day so we'll see).

so how much liquid are you feeding the 5 gall pots and how muchare you giving the 30gal pots ??

all my plants (in flowering) are in 5 gal pots. all my plants in veg are 3gal pots (which i might transfer to 5gal before flowering im still undecided)


i feed either 1:1 (water to soil) or close to it. I give a minimum of 3-4gal of water but aim for 5 gal per 5gal pot. the plants in veg usually get 2gal of water per 3gal pot.

I try to water 1:1 or close to it to make sure the soil has been completely saturated throughout.

Just a quick update:



nothing to do in the grow room today so i just combed over the plants for signs of mold. none as of now (thank god). The Skunk #1 isnt quite skunky yet but its definitely turning a foul musty smell. think a locker room w/ poor air circulation filled w/ sweaty/musty smelling dirty clothes. so i think thats a good thing lol.

the plants appear pretty good overall.

Happy Thanksgiving RIU. on this day i most thankful for god, my health, my amazing lady friend, my fam+friends and everyone here on RIU.

Now its time for bed and then my fav parts of thanksgiving: friends, family, food, football and booze (of course...mj too)

Have a safe one people. My next grow journal update will be friday or saturday.

thanks as always for checking the journal out.

you give 4-5 gallons of liguid at each feeding /watering to a 5 galllon pot ?How much runoff do you get ?

enough to quench the thirst of a family of 4 in the desert. lol jk. i get a good solid amount of run off. I water then in a sink so i can only eye ball the runoff but no real accurate way of measuring it.

my AG sucks up water like nobody's business. I water it today (for example) and in 4 days the bottom leaves will start drooping from lack of water. so that one always gets 1:1 watering.

my KK on the other hand gets much less watering as it seems to hold water better than the rest.

it matters on the plant for me really. the ones that need water very frequently (every 3-4 days) get more and the ones that hold it well (need water every 5-8 days) get less as a lot isnt needed.

No pics now but what i can say is that some of the trichs on OS#1 and Sensi are starting to get milky. Im pretty sure i should aim for 50/50 amber/milky with the sensi since its indica...and im not sure about the OS#1.

Im pretty sure i want to go 50/50 milky/clear on the Strawberry cough to unlock those great anti anxiety properties.


My AG is a pain in the ass. not because its nute sensitive. but because its a heavy feeder (water...and food). i came back from my thanksgiving weekend (im still full lol) only to find the AG starved. it was only 4 days since the last watering and all the leaves were very droopy. So i watered it and within a few hours it was perked back up. Its amazing how fast the AG goes from happy to needy.

I probably wont grow the AG again unless its really a super special smoke as its shape is very hard to work with in the grow room. height isnt the problem believe it or not. just the shape...it take up a lot of space horizontally, its very lanky and very needy.

I tied up a few main colas on the strawberry cough as some were starting to "lay down" from the weight of the buds.

As of friday the Sensi star will be 6wks in flowering. isnt it a 7 or 8wk strain?



also my damn lights didnt turn off when they were supposed to. this is why i hate timers! they work consistently then one day it doesnt shut them off. ive had this problem before which is why i stopped using timers.

it ran for an extra 1 1/2. so at the very least im gonna turn it on an hr 1/2 late to compensate. ive never had them run that much longer. hope that doesnt stress em too much.
