New Grower Duckster's First Adventure

Thanks Goauto6. Good to know - now I can quit stressing, go smoke a bowl or six. And mix some feed. Or maybe I should mix the feed first lmao.
 
Well, I've been slacking a bit. No updates in a couple of weeks. I could not upload the pics for the last update. They are too big to upload now. lots of pictures from the past couple of weeks. But they are also too big. I took some today at a lower resolution, so they should load.

Boy did I misjudge the time on these girls. Sonya is a 60-65 day strain, but figured about 80. She is at 67 and her buds are just starting to swell. Very few trics and those are clear. I have broken stems in at least 6-7 places trying to bend her out of the lights. I don't even bother to tape them up any more and doesn't seen to faze her. She must think she's a tree, the base of her stem is 1.5" diameter. Her top looks a little weird, I had to tie her taller branches to run horizontal 2-3" below the lights. Looks like a flat top. A few pics of Sonya on day 67.

Talula is a 70-75 day strain, but I figured about 90. She is at 84 and still adding green growth to the buds and adding new pistols. Trics are mostly milky with some still clear, no amber yet. Some of the pistols have changed color but mostly white still. I figure she may go 100-110 days. I'll check her again next week. I would like to see at least 5% amber before I start her flush. And now a little Talula bud porn on day 84.

Wow Ducky you got a jungle there they looking fantastic, gave up on trying to count budsites there are just so many lol, nice height control also you kept them bitches down proper like.

As for the pics lower resolution will work, or you can take them in higher resolution and then resize them down for higher quality. Here is the link to a video i made a while back on how to do it.

Talula now at 90 days. Upper fan leaves now starting to yellow a bit. Most of her trics are super milky with a sprinkling of clear and a few amber. Plan to start her 10 day flush in a day or two. She doesn't have much of a smell unless you touch her and then she reeks. Lots of buds and they've gotten fatter and dense. Also about 50 small buds in the center of her lower half. I'm wondering if I chop the big branches and buds, will the lower branches survive and continue to mature?

Sonya now at 73 days. She is loosing some of her upper leaves too. But her trics are a 50/50 mix of clear and cloudy. Her buds are dense but not nearly as big as her sister's. I figure she is running 7-14 days behind her sister. So it's looking like two small harvests instead of one big one. Fine by me.

Conditions in the cab are pretty stable. Temps running 80-85 and rh 40-50. Soil pH has dropped to 5.8-6.0. Guess that's due to massive amounts of nutes they've been getting the past few weeks. The soil below the surface never to get very dry so have cut back to only feeding once a day now. Have also cut the feeds back to about 500ml. This is also a good thing as I am am crazy busy at work and softball season has kicked in so it was getting hard to juggle all of the shite.

As always thanks for stopping by. All comments, questions, and bits of witticism are encouraged.:biggrin:
 
Ok so I've got this pile of leaves that have dropped off the girls for the past 4 weeks.

Is this ok to add to the trim from harvest for making cannabutter and other treats?

I started Talula on day 92 with a 10 day flush/cleanse with 1 liter of un-phed tap water 2 x a day. Still not many amber trics yet but I'm hoping they will amber up more over the next 10 days.

Can't wait to get her harvested and cured. I'm hoping she is some kick ass white widow.

Sorry about the crappy quality bud shots. Was in a rush because company was coming.

Sonya at 75 days still has a mix of cloudy and clear. A few weeks to go I'm thinking. Good as her buds need to fatten up some more (I'm hoping). lol

Time to get back to work. Another crazy busy week.
Thanks for stopping by and may your gardens be green.:biggrin:
 
Update 98/81

Talula is at day 98. She is on un-phed tap water for about 6 days. Her trics are mostly cloudy with 4-5% amber under the microscope a couple of days ago. Weird thing is, I took some halfway decent pics with the camera today and even zoomed in, I don't see any amber. Most of them look clear. Gonna go with what I'm seeing in the microscope. She's still got lots of big green fan leaves so I guess she's still got a bit to go. The buds have swelled to the point that the stems won't support them so I've had to do some reverse bondage to support them. lol I'm wondering if she will ever be done. lol

Sonya seems to want to finish before her older sister. She is at day 81 and is losing leaves much faster than her sister, even some of the top fan leaves are dying off. Her trics were still about 40% clear with just a sprinkling of amber. She just start her plain water yesterday.

Not much smell from either girl. Thought it was just me but the wife doesn't smell much either. The buds do reek if you touch the and they are sticky-icky too.

Here is Talula
