Update Day 49 MedCzech's ManCave BioTabs grow
Temp holding steady around 26C--RH around 50--environment stable
Ok, been a couple days guys, so I thought I would give you a chance to stop into the ManCave for a spell...
just a couple of us stoners hanging out doing our thing.
Let's take a look in the tent, shall we?
There are some nice things happening in the tent. The only issue to date just surfaced. Some hooking in fans leaves of Sour Livers indicating a little too much Nitrogen available for the girls at this stage. I may have given her the last part of the orgatrex feeding, and that last liter was more condensed, as it had settled. There may have been a touch too much N in that for her. Other plants, other than the mutant Chem Stomper look fine.
There is one thing missing...the PineApple Express is on her last chance to flower and get tent space. She is in total darkness and will be for another 30 hours or so. If she does not then flower within two days after her return to the tent, she will be put outside to fend for herself there. Most likely she won't flower IMO. Her growth has slowed a steady well, and she has all signs pointing to being ready, but she is stalled out. Autoflower genes probably messed up. She looks awesome too. She would pump out a 100 grams easy, but she may not get the chance.
On to the rest of them!
Evening out the canopy a touch with some help. They should be able to handle the extra light with all those lovely auxins running threw those main colas. I haven't noticed any light issue s as of late. We shall see.
Purple Monster showing a little leaf hook herself, but the buds are really beautiful. Nice colors starting to come in already. Smell becoming more sweet and berry like each day, but the stinky, rotten smell is still there a short well.
Here, the Soir Livers is really stinking up the joint. I know the worst is yet to come in that regards as well. The last three weeks is when the Livers smell really starts to become pungent.
As I give her a little leaf tug now, the smell is sour diesel only, but very sweet in nature.
Chem Stomper has this foxtail structure in her buds, but they will be tight and rock hard nugs. Mutant genetics is definitely the issue here, but I am curious with what quality I might get. The smells are the best I have ever really smelled on a plant. It's really more like candy than anything I have even smoked. Not sure if it could possibly smoke as good as it smells right now. I even tasted my finger and it was really sweet to the taste too. Who knows with this girl, what will happen.
Experienced growers will see the foxtailing in her nugs. Even the curled up leaves still have great color, shine, and have trichomes on them. I have seen that she gets more her first towards the end of flower, not the beginning, like a lot of her sisters at Mephisto.
Here is a little shot of the small buds developing on the Gorilla Glue. I raised her up as well so she will get more light. Should help boost growth rate a touch. Classic Glue smell, and her colas look really greasy as well.
A better shot of the Gorilla Glue next to her big sister, Orange Biscuits, who decided she wanted to smash any averages Mephisto set for her. She is now over 120 cm. I just stopped measuring. That her on the left!
Here is a good view of how even the second level buds on the OB in the corner are taller than the main of the Sour Livers, front left in the picture. There you can really see he really leaves hooking. Nothing I can do now. It happened three weeks ago. She will be fine going forward. I have seen this many times if plants get a little too much N in flower.
A great shot of the Orange Biscuits. Could it be the second Grow in a row where this plant gets the vote for best plant in the tent?? We shall see...
I did not use a filter or try anything different. It was just like that moment in a movie, when the lights go slight dim except the light on the beautiful actresses face. Not sure why this photo came out this way?? Cool as hell though!
Another shot, not very good photos though
Here is a nice look at the main cola on the Purple Monster. She should really be a nice looking plant in the end. She looks pretty nice now! That hooking is definitely a little on her as well.
Thanks for stopping in for a spell. Hope to see around some time soon. Feel free to leave comments or advice in any way. All comments are cool here.
See you round brothers and sisters!
