Hey stoners!
Hope you are all good.
It's day 72 and I'm still having trouble with the Cinderella Jack, I've tried lowering the EC right down to 0.8 and keeping the pH at 5.8 as much as possible, but she is only gonna give me an ounce or two at the most.

She is flowering, but very slowly..... it's day 72 and this is her main cola....

Looking at that, I'd expect her to go on for a good few weeks. Those thick white pistils look very young, so I'm hoping there's time for her to fatten out a bit. It's gonna be a struggle to keep her going that long, but I'm hoping it will be worth the effort.
The Glueberries are going very well.....
GB1 is the big one.

Not as big as in the last post because I gave her a really good clearout, chopping away heaps of thin stems and wispy flowers that were clogging her up. That was about a week ago, then unfortunately, I was away for a couple of days and when I got back, she was as dry as Nun's knickers and quite a few leaves had gone yellow, so she needed a bit of TLC.
Now she's in mid flower, there are so many long stems all full of bud, and she has the potential to really fill out.

I expect her to go close to 100 days.
GB2 on the other hand is near to finishing....

She is in the final couple of weeks, again, I've given her a good trim down below to allow her to concentrate on filling out those chunky colas.

Lots of upturned edges to my leaves with this grow. Heat stress..... I have been struggling with temps..... it's Summer and I'm in the sub tropics, daytime temps are in the mid 30's, so I have to run the aircon almost constantly to get the grow room down to 24°-25°Cs, then inside the tent it gets to 28°-30°C at 'soil' level..... Shiva only knows what it's like at canopy level.
I have raised the lights to maximum today in another attempt to lower the temps around the plant a degree or so. I have 6" Hyperfans on the intake and extraction, and they are both on about 50%.... pretty loud, and I have constant tinnitus.
Looking at the tent as a whole, not looking too bad, been better though.

GB1 at the back with CJ and GB2 in front
Thinking ahead, I have ordered 2 bags of Coco, and re-stocked my additives. I wanna get some seedlings on the go ASAP.
On the potential grow list are Pineapple Express (Fastbuds) - of which I have one seed left - a really tasty, strong smoke, also Dutch Passion's Night Queen (still my favourite puff) and of course a couple of Glueberries!
Cindy Jack has put me off a bit, I'm gonna have to look around for some other people's grows and see where I went wrong.
I'm also hoping for cooler temps. The rainy season is on it's way so a few cyclones will hit these parts. Looks like the water tank will be full of lovely fresh EC 0 water in no time!
Next update should be just before harvest time for the GB2 - see you then!
