smokies humboldt seeds search for the holy highgrade

hi mate @HSO-Mark glad your back on the boards bro. i thought something was wrong you not being about. 

on the upwards now mate. i hope your feeling better, you and the misses. 

the plants are budding up a treat now ain't they. as you say glad i sorted out the lights out humidity. its sitting at max 34% humidity last night n night before. i watered them with about 15 liters of water yesterday, and humidity was only 34%.  so im chuffed with that dude. 

i have seen the odd white spot of p/ mildue. due to high humidity know say. 

buds are filling out a treat and getting a few brown hairs now, so i can see the finish line coming. 

i fed them all yesterday on 1ml fish mix, and 3ml bio bizz bloom per iter of water. im using a 7 liter watering can, so i just add 7ml fish mix, give it a good stir ,then add 21 ml of b/bizz bloom. and stir it well. then feed the girls till i get a little run off water, then let them sit in the run off till sucked it all up. and the pots weigh allot. il leave them 2 days untill dry, then repeat the feed. so im using a wet/ dry cycle of watering.

@smokie1 b c f c Thanks mate. Nothing major with me it was our dog. Totally out of the blue which destroyed both my wife and me

 

Needed a few days to get me head back in gear

 

The UK420 community, Dinafem, HSO and UK420 admin like @Joolz have been fantastically supportive through this tough time even if just letting me vent

 

You've all been fantastic

 

Kind regards

Absolutely perfect my friend 

 

Would hate to see any bud loss and it sounds like humidity is back in line

 

Just be vigilant with your checks mate.

 

Keep the airflow up and all should be fine 

 

Until next time

 

Kind regards

cheers brother. yeah i check the hygrometer min/max every day mate, i look at the girls every 2 days when i water. i love seeing how much they have grown over just 2 days.

il take some pictures say the end of the week. il take them inside the tent tho at lights off as there to big to move in and out the tent, plus there smelling very chemdog / og kush smelling. 

i can see me getting at least 2 to 3 oz per plant from the 2 em dogs as there just buds everywhere.

ive just had a some up, and i think/hope.  that i should get around 14 to 15 oz. that's not far off a gram per watt. i have 10 plants in there all in. 

the 2 em dogs are in 11 liter pots of soil, the amherst in a 6.5 liter pot. and the lemon zkittles ,zkittles dom plant in a 11 liter pot. and i have 2 blueberry's both in 6.5 liter pots too. 

ohh and 3 lemon skittles and a bubba island kush in small 2 liter to 3.5L pots. so the ones in small pots will be half oz plants, there about's. but the 6.5 liter plants have a good 5 to 6 tops on them. so should get 1.5 z a pice i thinks. with the 2 to 3 oz per em dog plant. if i hit anywhere near 14/ 15 oz il be chuffed people. as that will last me and my family member who is ill till next crop easy. 

as soon as this crop is dry, the tent has some new dub plate ganja highgrade from hso coming, i have some mango sapphires to pop, plus 3 x bubbas gift seeds to germ for the pot noodle comp. im thinking do 2 in pot noodle pots and one bubba's gift in a 11 liter square pot of soil, to see the yield from a multi topped/ fimed plant like my em dogs. 

[HSO-Mark]

They say variety makes the spice of life and you most definitely have some variety 

 

I'm hearing a lot about zkittles but have yet to try this strain

 

Will be interesting to see how this cross fairs

 

Kind regards

They're some truly beautiful looking ladies despite the slight lack of nitrogen they appear to be performing amazingly well and they'll have a fabulous clean taste at the end.

 What ph and ec are they getting buddy?

Oh and any chance of something for scale in the pics please buddy?

 

 

[smokie1 b c f c]

hi @Thedoctor6999 there looking bang on now, buds are flopping al over the place, i have had to get the bamboo canes into the pots, to hold them up. 

there now at day 46 flowering on 12/12. i dont know the ec or ph mate, as i dont ever check them normally in soil,organic grows. i can't find my old ph test kit anywhere

il have to buy a new one, to test my run off and tap water. i was using the shower to put some hot water into the watering cans to get the water temp upto room temp, i think thats where the high ph is from, plus hot water seems to have a start ec strait out of the tap. but my cold tap water is normally ph 7 ish and with no ec out the tap. i know this as i used to have a bluelab truncheon to check my tap waters ec. but as we know it can change over time. 

il get some pics took when i can for yall to see. itl be picks from in the tent now tho, as they stink, and are bushys to be moving around. il try n get something in the pictures for scale. 

thanks for the comments

 

[Thedoctor6999]

Fair enough buddy I can fully understand that. After spending 3 months in Nepal and various random life events I've ended up with no working ph meter myself. Will be fixing this shortly mind. 

Have you had a look on the Internet for your tap water analysis? They have detailed information for most. Can be very useful for nutrient matching and ph setting. 

Either way beautiful looking girls how do they smell at the mo?

[smokie1 b c f c]

yeah good idea mate, il have a look online for water info in my area. 

the girls are a mix of lemony/ skunk pheno's, with the big girl smelling a mix of grapefruit and lemons, getting a real stink to them now

roll on harvest, il get some pics took and uploaded asap. 

[Thedoctor6999]

Mmmmm nice I do love a refreshing citrus twist, especially in the summer time. 

Looking forward to it buddy. 

[smokie1 b c f c]

yep these are getting more and more lemony/ pine / kush smells now. more piney, with a kush hint in there, but deffo has a citrus, lemony smell the big tallest pheno of em dog has. 

the amherst sour diesel girl is getting big long sativa buds on her. big long sexy legs on her more like.  

there at day 48 of flower 12/12 today. the em dogs are looking like good 9 weeker's being chemdog#4 hybrids with og kush. 

i will take the smaller em dog at 8 weeks flower, and chop the tall em dog at 9 weeks.

good day to all on the boards today. ive been taking a few pics of the plants today, from in the tent tho, as there to big to lift out the tent now.

the em dogs are both looking almost ready. the smaller more kushy pheno has lots of brown hairs, and the sativa taller looking girl has about 40% brown hairs/ pistil's. 

smelling real kushy, with a chemdog stink in there. gave them a feed of 1.5ml per liter of p/m catalyst today. its just seaweed extract but thicker than usual.i will give water only from next watering for the last week on the em dogs. there at 7 weeks and 2 days of 12/12 today. so im thinking water only till about a week's time. then chop the em dogs. 

the amherst sour diesel is looking like a good 10 weeker.  she is putting out the buds now, with long sativa buds of pure white pistils. 

il get a few pics took of the amherst next time.

pics ain't great i know. dam blurry. 

il be buying a camera just for bud pics soon. so no more blurry out of focus pics.  

buds are flopping everywhere on these em dogs, the taller one is going mental, with dense buds. stink real pungent too. full on kushy/ chem stink. 

not long now folks ,and il be harvesting the 2 em dogs touch wood/ bud.

Your super close mate 

 

Just going off the pictures the em dog look to have 7-10 more days maximum so great to read that the flush has started

 

We knew going into this grow that the dogs would be finished first with Amherst going the extra 10-14 days

 

Once the em dog are out it will free up a little space so the Amherst can finish

 

Looking really good mate and the time is approaching fast to get those scissors out and your fingers sticky 

 

Will be dropping in more frequent now as harvest approaches 

 

Thanks for the update mate I'll be back in on the next 

 

Kind regards
