A site closer to the main cola , still a fair way off to me.

Overall smell is mild fairly scent free until you rub a budsite then you get overwhelming petrol/oil kinda smell v strange


Being fed on 3mill ltr bloom and 1 mil ltr grow and under a 400watt metal halide at the moment to Finish off my other plants due to come out of the tent.

Top cola next to a 65-70 day sat cross which is nearly done.

Looking very nice djay

darn tootin djay

they looks well smart for sure for sure gods holy trousers

Thanks man , sooner i can get these 8 week plants out the better as there will be a lot more space and a lot more light for these 10+ week plants.

thnx for popping by...

Had a move about to let more light into the lower branches and here is a few pictures of my destroyer fem at 7 weeks of flower.

And a picture of the top half of the plant , starting to put a bit of weight on now and has been no bother at all with 1mil grow 2.5 mil bloom 4 mil topmax and 1.5 mil bioheaven.

Ill kinda keep it at that unless she tells me otherwise then when pistols start to brown ill change her to 2mil grow 1 mil bloom with a little topmax for good luck.

Looking good Djay

They need around 12 weeks in order to get its weight and density of buds well done and mature. There shouldnt be problems with feeding as you know they need just a bit. So easy on that sense

Hope they finish as well as they look

best success

Thanks for coming by man and letting me test them , i have another 3 seeds left to play with still.


The smell is getting stronger off them all the time she really is a nice sat to grow don't get to tall and spreads out like crazy if you have the room to veg for 6weeks+, next time i would put 3 or 4 of these in a 1mtr square room and train the top a little more to get a more level canopy as the branches do stretch to around canopy level while growing.

Trying my best to leave her till around 12 weeks got a funny feeling she will be worth it

Just keep an eye on them clawing leaves mate cos the plant is showing an excess of N

This will suppress bud growth

Owd

Will do man ill reduce to 1mil per ltr instead of 1.5 for next feed they only get fed around 4-5ltrs of water every 4-5 days but ill reduce and see how she takes to it thanks for the info.

Hi Djay,
just caught back up to date with the diary (been offline for a little while), really impressive grow mate, the colas already look huge and only at 7 weeks, from here it's looking like a huge yeilder

Peace
Baz

Fingers x they all will be hope you enjoying your own smoke man

Fed today and watered today 1.5mil grow 3 mil bloom per ltr and had 4 ltr's of water top cola filing out more each day just started 8 weeks of flower.

I looked through a microscope at 60x zoom today at the trichs and there 60% white so still a while to go, what did shock me was the amount of trichnomes through the scope .... its weird because when you look at the plant it is no where near as frosty as any of the other plants its in there with , yet under a scope it has way way more trichnomes than any of the others there just a lot smaller its almost like the plant has been sprayed with something to make the buds under the scope more trich layden.


Have to say i wish i had a really good camera with a nice macro lens to show you what i can see through the scope its much like the picture on the site i.e like a crack rock very weird but very nice

Shot just after lights gone out.

Hiya DJAY lookinggood bro U have some nice budage there
In the last picture of the two top buds I can see the one on the left has alot more amber hairs Have u got a close up of it mate?????

Yeah the other plant is a grapefruit x maroc coming out soon its only a 8-9 week plant.

Not really in the same league as the destroyer genetics wise but it's something to tide me over.

Wow the destroyer is looking like a solid baseball bat of bud man

Interesting observation on the trichromes, my Lieu Hanh is very similar, loads of tiny trichromes.

Yeah its very strange to look at i have to say , another thing i was sitting last night after pulling a very immature bud off a few days ago and the smell i think i can now put my finger on rmbr pine scented detol for baths or cuts etc ??? well thats the smell you get off this ...

it took me a while to work out what the hell it reminded me off and now i know ... having said that it don't taste of pine fragranced detol so thats ok

Well another small update , just over 9 weeks of flower and a bit of shitty news is that im starting to see seeds swelling out of virtually all my plants in there major but with only 2-3 weeks left there aint much i can do about seeded weed....

Have to say i aint 100% sure if it was a destroyer or if it was a grapefruit x maroc which caused the hermie , i will try these last 3 remaining seeds i have on there own to make sure its not them when i get a little more time.

Here is a shot of a typical destroyer budsite.

And another larger budsite.

The plant looks slightly yellow from the bottom up , maybe in need aof a little more n or maybe to much as stated before .

Destroyer in the front and grapefruit x nevilles haze in the background both with fairly dense nuggets , hopefully next time i will sort my tent out a little better wash it all out check and recheck for light leaks and then train the plants to be no more than 4.5foot tall as i suffered a lot from bleaching due to there height.

Top cola of the destroyer , if you look close you can see a seed starting to pop out , all the seeds out the plants will be binned as there pointless with hermie traits.

Downer man

That's a real drag, is it enough seeds to spoil the bud ? Or are we just talking a few here and there ?

The buds still look good though

Nah shouldn't be to bad i am just a little disappointed but it can happen to anyone and even more so using fem seeds from a few diff seed banks prob not the best idea .


I harvested the gf x mrc and only had 2-3 immature seeds in there , the gf x nh i'm not to sure off can only see 1 or 2 sticking out and the destroyer seems to have quite a lot of seeds in the top half of the main cola but i may as well let em all finish off best they can.


Going to use the metal halide for the last 2-3 weeks as i will be down on yield so may as well try and see if the mh can give em a final boost and increase the potency on them all.

Hello djay, just stumbled across this diary and may i say what lovely looking plants you've grown. They came along wonders after their slow start. I'm surprised the canna seedling mix was so bad though.

Sorry to hear about the seeds, i know what a heartbreaker it is, happened on my last grow and i couldn't even find any male flowers anywhere

I'm sure the smoke will be potent from the look of them buds, i think you'll be surprised

Kc

Thanks man i thought i was extra careful inspecting for male flowers etc but just shows you how much damage 1 hermie plant can cause but no matter we live and learn

10 and a half weeks into flower and buds are coming on nicely , only thing im getting is a yellowing of the plant starting from the bottom up ... thought maybe to much nitrogen or to little not sure now ....

Being fed 3.5mil grow 1mil bloom per ltr and has around 4 litrs of feed every 4-5 days.

And another , top cola really does feel very dense and has to be supported so the plant don't fall over all 5 foot of it....

Maybe another 2-3 weeks to go for the top cola , i put the plants under the metal halide again and will hopefully leave em there till there done (assuming the bulb lasts that long ...

They look tree mendous djay, magnificent colas mate, nice work

Awesome man, really awesome. I'm definitely getting some Destroyer beans for next grow season. That bud is fantastic, it really is

not long till timber time then

Have to say apart from the odd problem and no doubt a bit of seeded weed i have had no real problems with nutes or anything with the destroyer , its starting to yellow a fair bit now but we are on the home stretch.

Smell wise she smells lovely and i cant wait to have some nice buds of the plant.... i think shell go 12 weeks and would prob go a week more than that but i need to chop them all then as i have other projects i need to start after these.

As i said have 3 seeds left and when i have more time.

I had a look under the scope today and trich's are mostly white not a sign of amber in there so we should be ready for a nice up high....

Well is the last plant, both this and the gfxnh have gone 90 days of 12/12 now and i have to say the destroyer has still loads of white pistols but has a fair sprinkle of amber going on under the microscope.

One thing i have to rmbr is to have shorter plants as this 2mtr high budbox is no match for a 400watt hps and a 5 foot tall plant

As you can see loads and loads of pistols like it needs another 2-3 weeks ... which i really ain't got the time for.

Group shot of the last two plants , Destroyer is at the front and a Grapefruit x Neviles haze is at the back.

Have to say i don't think the plant will yield loads maybe 1-1.5 oz id say but it smells fantastic now kinda lemon and lime ish ? if that makes much sense ...

Not had any of this no sneaky buds so i cant wait to see what sorta high it has.

Feeding wise i didn't find the plant to fusy , the nute burn on the tips was to much nitrogen and obviously heatstress dam hps ....

Last shot just after lights out in the tent lamp up at around 5 and a half foot.. must learn to scrog or to train more


Have to say thanks to kiki for letting me test these wish there was better results with the other plant but lets see what this one is like and then i can plant the other 3 beans and hope for a better outcome.

At the moment i am smoking the other gf/nh pheno hope itll tide me over till this is dry ...

great diary man,just a question about the canna seedling compost you said your babies didnt like??...just bought a shit load!!!...you say its no good for ya????

Yeah man i still got half a bag here to throw out it was fucking useless... i reckon it put me back a good 1-2 weeks of growth , in the soil the plants had very slow root growth and very slow leaf development , once they got into all-mix/perlite 60/40 mix they went mental and started sprouting like mad.

Have to say wont use that again was first and last time

Awesome man,

That looks a real treat, was so impressed by your's man that I bagged a pack in Joolz's half price seed sale . Going to be growing them with some more Laotian seeds I'll be getting later.

The bud looks really resinous can't wait for the smoke report.

Well after a few hours of trimming cutting and cleaning etc i have some bud shots think it may yield a little better than i thought.

This is the final yield sitting in a 1mtr sqr tray.

As i said been cleaning

Cola was very heavy and very dense , as i said before it looked like it could go a little longer but i just didn't have the time to go over 12 week's.

Shot of the front of the main cola.

And one from the side of the same cola.

As you can see its fairly thick and have to say having used 800watt of envirolight's at one time i think the 400watt hps and mh for the last 3 weeks of flower is much much better.

I am now converted to hps

Close up of the main cola.

Bad trimming i know ..

And a two cola shot , Grapefruit x Neviles haze on the left and Canna biogen's Destroyer on the right oh yeah and that bloody tin of cif again to get an idea of size.
