New Grower Mara's continuous grow

[Mara Cachafa]

Happy Friday, panorama time:

Here's the details:
ILGM Gold Leaf Auto is 99. I've been stripping fan leaves in prep for harvest:

Gnome MothMan #2 is 99. Her time is running out:

Jean-O's Genetics VooDoo Auto #1 and What the Fuck #1 are 42. Bud sites everywhere:

VooDoo #2 had a weak start, so didn't get topped, but I guess she topped herself. At 35 days there's no main cola:

Mephisto Mango Smile #2 shemale is 3 weeks old. I hope she'll be strong enough to get CS spray soon to make female pollen. I have a plan for her isolation booth as soon as the old ladies get the chop to make room for it:

The next crop went in 3GL pots of coco yesterday: Poison-Bear-OG and What-the-Fuck (genetics by Jean-O):

Many Thanks and much love to all you real Live Stoners!

Amazing grow space you have there!!

 

[Jean-O]

Just stumbled on your grow! Looking very nice!

Thanks! It's still a work in progress. The panorama photo makes it look big, but it's only 6x7. Panorama was the only way I could get it all in one shot.

Another week, another update:

The big girls are 85 days old, starting to show a few amber trichomes. I guess I'll be chopping soon.

VooDoo #2 is 3 weeks old, so I'll top her tonight:

I'm gonna try and get some Mango Smile Auto female pollen to brush onto a lower branch of future grows. She/he/they is in 1/2 of a gallon bag to keep her small. I'll start spraying colloidal silver solution at 3 weeks old, unless somebody gives me better advice. I'll need to make an isolation chamber if she grows balls:

The stash is getting low, so the upcoming harvest is just in time. Those 1-gallon pickle jars were all full a month ago:

The wife's breakthrough COVID is not too bad a week after showing symptoms. We both had it a couple years ago, and both have had 4 shots. I've been coughing up a few raw clams meself, I'll take a test later to see if the 'rona stuck to me. That's all the news for this week. Thanks Live Stoners for all the help and support!

sorry to hear about the virus. The dearest and I have been careful, and likely lucky. Any time we have had anything going on and tested, it has come back negative. So if we have had it, it has not been bad, and as far as I know neither of us has any long term mischief that might be from covid.

Good luck with it, I hope that the two of you get this stuff a long way in the rear view mirror.

Fourth Friday of August update. The "little" girls are 7 weeks old, the old ladies are done at about 13 weeks. I chopped one more after this panorama:

Gnome Moss Man #1 gets a few more days, since overcrowding is no longer an issue:

Double Grape #2 got chopped earlier this week. The larf is already dry enough to burn, and getting rave reviews. The dense top buds are not quite dry enough for a final weight, but looks like maybe 4 ounces (the first ounce of smaller bottom buds are already up in smoke):

Double Grape #3 got chopped today after the panorama photo (2nd from the right in the panorama). The colas were flopping over from their own weight, and I need the space. She got a wet trim without scissors, just pulling off leaves that were less than 1/2 covered in trichomes. She had 14 main branches, and 12 of them reached the top. Wet trim took an hour and a half (maybe I'm getting the "hang" of it). I plan to let her hang a couple of days from the ceiling of the grow room (at 62% RH), then do a dry trim, then into gallon jars with the lids off until they can hold 62% RH with the lids on:

The 3 teenagers are 42 days old. They all started flowering at the same time a few days ago (I logged it as day 39). Gold Leaf #3 graduated to the flowering shelf, so the other 2 have some elbow-room on the 4' nursery shelf.
Heres Mango Smile #1, Moth Man #2, and Gold Leaf #3:

I'll probably chop Moth Man #1 this week, and do a little work on the grow space before I start the next 3 seeds (Mango Smile, WTF, Gold Leaf). That's about it. Thanks for all the help (that's you, real Live Stoners).

How do you like the double grape? I expect to be making bud and seeds of that one this round.

My 2 Double Grape plants were the frostiest plants I've grown. One gave 8 oz, the other 4 (in coco). Maybe different pheno's, although the bigger one was under a better light (HLG 100w vs Yuson 100w). It's almost all up in smoke already. Plenty of THC. The high tended toward couchlock. It's probably great for pressing resin, but I'm not set up for that yet.

My wife is a very sociable retired teacher. This was the 2nd time she caught COVID. We're both vaxxed and boosted. She was feeling poorly for a week this time, but recovered with only Gatorade and chicken soup. I tested positive 2 weeks later, but only had mild cold symptoms. I hope that's the end of it. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

Glad to hear it. I am looking forward to see how my DG do. The seeds are S1 from a gro bro, so there will be some pheno variation. Whatever, it sounds as though it is a fine strain, and if any outfit produces genetics likely to behave at S1, Mephisto is near the top of the list because they carry their crosses so far that they are, I think, exceptionally stable. So far, among the strains I have headed for reversal now, the two DG babes are the most vigorous of the lot. Only one will be reversed, the second may just have to be finished off in its solo just for giggles.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

So glad it's Friday! Here's the new panorama:

From right to left, Jean-O's What the Fuck #1 and VooDoo #1 are 51, maybe about done stretching:

VooDoo #2 is 42:

Jean-O's WTF #2 and Poison Bear OG #1 and #2 are 4 days old:

Mango Smile #2 (pollen run) is 23:

Gold leaf got chopped last Friday, hung overnight, brown bag for a couple days, then jarred with the lid mostly off for a couple days til it would stay <62% RH with the lid on. Total in the jar is 183g (not counting 38g that's already up in smoke).

MothMan #2 got the axe yesterday. She could have gone a little longer, but I needed the space:

I'm loving the Greenleaf MegaCrop 1-part. I mix 10 gallons at full strength (60g, or 3 Tbsp., for 10GL), then dilute it for seedlings or veg (or full strength for late flower). My reservoir is a 20GL trash can. By happy coincidence, 10" is 10GL and 15" is 15GL, so i can measure gallons with a yardstick when I fill the res:

Here's my current feed schedule, based on the Greenleaf feed calculator:

That's about it for this week. Thanks much to all o' y'all Live Stoners!
