she will love you for the extra space mate but shes gonna be a bloody big girl  

good luck with jaws  

 

Cheers , I need it, I can’t believe she had such a good veg stage. Should stop the need for the frequent af waterings , hopefully all that moisture sat in such big pots doesn’t cause condensation issues, fingers crossed

Right a kind of related but nonetheless rewarding update. 

Start of the year knew that trim was getting wasted and come up with a very easy solution, an 80 odd cm long wooden frame with some ‘55t’ -works out at 105 micron screen printing mesh.  Cost around £12 for mesh which I still have some leftovers of and the wood was lying around. 

 

The trim rim was probably around 15g or so of sugar leaf which gets left to dry until it isn’t sticky, it’s then ran through by hand. 

First stage:

Under the screen I use black poster paper (makes scraping it up easier as you can see what you’re working with). 

Resulting kief:

It is then put through a press which was about four pound online:

Ended up with that^

This was first run of trim from O.G kush X Lemon O.G auto, O.G kush auto and Mango bubble cloud auto iirc. 

Perfect to spruce up a j or to cook with!

Camping the other week me and the Mrs put 1.5 ish grams of decarbed kief in two tins of rice pudding on the camp stove and mixed with jam to mask the taste a little, fourty mins and a bag of sensations later dominos were on the way to the camp site with a large pizza and goodies, great stuff

Good evening, works over till Tuesday, maybe I’ll find a few more followers 

Update time-

 

Zkittles fem is going well:

Growth update, a few more cm:

The trained white widow x big bud is slow moving:

Greenhouse temps early evening looking alreet:

Mango bubble cloud auto flower progress:

 

And a close up:

 

 

and finally my baby, exodus cheese in all her glory- had to tie her up with two ratchet straps, she’s a monster, there’s no other words, biggest plant to date and a super proud father haha:

One more of her lower defoliated region, will probably clear a bit more out but there’s only 24 hours in a day:

 

Have a a good weekend guys!

Been very hot here this weekend, watered last night and some were fairly dry already this morning, so had to mix up some feed for coco and soil. 

While down there I noticed this critical orange punch auto has started to look nice due to the >10 degree difference between day and night time temperatures. 

Not much else to say other than this image really:

Been trudging along in the heat all day,

made a new permanent shelf for the Bubblicious pot noodle first:

Gave the exodus cheese her daily feed, pot is still being drank/evaporated up every day, if anything, needing more.

 

The Zkittles fem is still stretching well;

Mango bubble cloud auto smells amazing and is packing weight on:

Little update, sweating my man boobs off watering and tending to the ladies and veg so far tonight. 

The exodus cheese is hitting flower time, some fan leaves towards lower and centre yellowing so I’ve took them off, she could use the airflow anyway.

For a sense of scale, the roof is 205cm high above the plant:

The feed shelf (missing a few too), to be honest I don’t use a lot of the advanced overdrive, but the staple mix is shown (missing the canna terra vega and flores), the pk13/14 was canna but Poundland had little bottles so bought five and refilled the empty bottle (third of the price and same stuff! No problems with the switchover). 

The big exodus cheese is in coco along with the mango bubble cloud that was shown yesterday, everything else in soil now to save on base nute cost. 

Potsil silicone I use early veg to give the stem a bit of strength and resilience but note it’s important not to use in flower as the silicone will be present in buds if you do. 

Then cal mag, liquid seaweed and some good old Poundland rooting powder. 

 

*TIP*

And we are left with the murky looking Mayo bottle which is actually a handy tip if you aren’t in the know- blackstrap molasses, it’s so messy out the jar, so I pour into a sauce bottle and just add a dollop into the watering cans as I mix. 

 

 

Zkittles is still growing well:

Height of her:

And a sneaky birds eye view:

The Bubblicious pot noodle is still going strong in the corner.

 

The big fem girls are still going healthy and at a steady but exciting rate. 

Exodus cheese is the big one which is supported, in a 50cm wide pot, probably around 50cm tall as well, sitting under a 205cm tall part of the roof. 

Flowers are starting to show will get better pics in the week.

Oh and to the bottom right of the image is the Mong-u-mental which spent a lot of veg in a craft beer can, doing pretty well too.

Got hold of some pound a bottle feeds at the weekend, gunna use them on one of my two humboldt OGKZ pot noodle grows, then the other identical setup will be done using canna vega and flores. A good comparison.

However the PK13/14 boost I already use with both soil and coco plants at the moment, it’s as good as cannas way more expensive equivalent in my experience so far. 

 

Will put some proper updates up in the week.

Was down having a tidy up, feeding/watering  and a bit of a mission to straighten out a plant with some bamboo and pipe cleaners. 

Noticed a small amount of movement in the Female seeds white widow x Big bud cut which had been tied down:

 

The Zkittles is also still going at a steady rate and hopefully will start flowering soon:

 

Also just jarred some Gorilla infested Gelato auto, Lemon auto and have started smoking the Mango bubble cloud from Dr krippling after a while curing in a glass jar, the taste is starting to come through but needs more time.

 

Bit of a small update again, all these progress photos make things seem like they are taking ages to get anywhere 

 

[Guest]

Another day another update,

 

The ww x bb cutting I am training shown in last nights post come from my mates first ever feminised plant. 

It was a Female seeds white widow x big bud seed which he has been growing under a polycarb garden area which was the inspiration for my polycarb area due to the decent and healthy growth. 

He started out with no previous knowledge and already knows quite a bit and is now diagnosing his own deficiencies. It started life on my window sill and was put into his polycarb shelter when big enough in soil. 

It’s been thriving ever since being fed with liquid seaweed, molasses, cal mag and canna vega and flores. 

He is PH’ing with citric acid to lower ph and litmus paper which shows what you can achieve with cheap and more importantly, readily available supplies (rather than damn expensive ph down liquids).

It is roughly 140-150cm from top of the soil and just about to flower properly now daylight is coming nearer to the 12-13 hour mark. 

The two front ones are fast and vast autos in soil, which says to me he has caught the  green finger addiction already, hopefully conditions allow them to finish aswell.

Out yesterday evening repotting some cuttings that have rooted really nice, they’ve just lived so far on water and occasional liquid seaweed and molasses. 

 

Exodus cheese:

Bubblicious:

 

Went up up to a pot about twice the size, I like to repot slowly, more roots equals more fruits as they say!

On repotting I just tend to disturb the roots a little so they don’t stay so bound looking, it seems to help..

They had a 1/2 strength veg feed with some molasses thrown in so will see how they’re looking tonight. 

They seem nice and healthy, they’re gunna be for indoor when the weather changes under mars hydro 900 LED. 

Also have the dilemma of what two other seeds to crack, tempted by a star dawg and purple urkle fem but also have a few other beans including pineapple, granddaddy purple and grapefruit 

Should be cracking some OGKZ later in the week also as soon as they arrive!

Quickly fed the two biggies in coco tonight, defol’ed the mong-U-mental a bit more ready for flowering and used some ratchet straps and screw in hooks to support the exodus cheese. 

 

New hook and ratchet strap to tidy things up, hate mess:

The exodus cheese is a sturdy lady:

In all her glory:

Bit of movement upwards on the Ww x Bb, will add more wire tommorow:

And the Bubblicious pot noodle doing her thing:

 

[Guest]

And an update on the second and bigger mango bubble cloud auto in coco, I cut her last week after finding the tiniest bit of rot on a nug. She had basically ran her course  anyway so gave her a flush and cut. 

Should be ready to trim and attempt to jar before curing slowly in the glass jar in the coming days and smells amazing still. 

Buds still feel pretty dense so I’m pleased. 

 

and a close up of one of the nugs:

 

Cannot wait to give a smoke report.

Good evening ,

 

Been another busy night, just stopped. 

Picked up my OFKZ seeds from @HSO-Mark, thanks again brother. 

Starting a blog for them tonight, they’re in soil already. 

 

Then got round to trimming the mango bubble cloud auto I mentioned yesterday:

Still a tiny bit sticky in places but overall 102.98g, not my record off an auto but a shame it didn’t have a bit more time:

The critical orange punch trim had dried up nice and crispy so gave it a run through the 105 micron screen:

Some nice little pellets:

 

Not much to report in polycarb area as I only spent about fifteen mins in there giving soil plants some water if they needed it. 

Coco monsters were still wet enough. 

[Guest]

Repotted the Zkittles fem in soil into its final pot today, was fairly happy with the roots going on down there, mixed a few handfuls of bonemeal in for good measure, hopefully it does some good combined with the canna base feed molasses and seaweed:

Still looking happy:

Cut some demon red chillies today too:

Ready to dry:

Tonight I had to rearrange the greenhouse to suit the big plants, they needed separating from each other and so that they weren’t touching wall or roof. 

After moving around the extension lead and plugs for the heaters got attached midway up the wall for safety reasons when watering, never took photos. 

The Ww x Bb is starting to grow a bit faster:

A bit closer:

 

will get get some updates on the mong-u-mental soon as I defol’ed her a bit yesterday, also growing well.
