Hey MJA, exactly! That's why I want to use the tape measure, just because of that fine line. I have a Blackstar clone and it's only on or off. Thanks.

Good morning Gardeners!!
Watered everyone with about 1.2L aftw pH'd to 6.2 Buds are getting bigger as they should. Every thing is still pretty green, even CC who is on water rations.
Here is a quick picture of BDM from this morning, getting to be quite the bud!

Good morning Gardeners. Nothing much to report. Tried a few "vapes" on the left overs from last week. Promptly got quite inebriated Whoo Hoo! Potent, 3 good sessions with that little baby bubdlet. Very nice and very encouraging!
Thanks again for all of your kind word!!

Good morning gardeners! Another fine day in the tent. Things are going well planning on feeding and watering this afternoon. If all goes well I will be moving the tent to another part of the basement. Hopefully that will alleviate some of the odor issues.
In the meantime here are some micrographs of a bud I trimmed from BDM to examine now and taste next week.

Trichomes again...

That's pretty intense wwwillie! Gotta hands for that one!

 

[SkatterBrayne]

She is getting nice and chunky. To be honest I'm a bit surprised at how far away she still seems to be. There are still quite slot of clear trich s on her. It's a bit uncharacteristic for most strains in my experience. Her calyxs began to swell and protrude much earlier than what I am accustomed to, and I thought she was alot closer to the naked eye.

Just goes to show, always trust the trichs!

She looks beautiful. Those trichs are sick looking wish we could blow them up till they were sucker size.

CC Day 101 BDM Day 74
Finally managed to get the side of the basement clean enough to move the tent. Lota work! That stuffs been piling up forever, books magazines and more crap that got ruined in a flood a few years back. 28 heavyweight trash bags worth! Whew!! So it is finally in the corner and I hung some tarps to make a small room around it. With the Ona bucket and the ozone going odor control should be a bit better. I did discover something major. The carbon canister does not quite get rid of the smell and that critical cheese really really smells strongly! When I moved the tent and the power was off to the fans and all; the smell was strong enough to knock me over when I opened it up to plug it in again! So I will most likely need to invest in a larger carbon filter.
Watered CC today, almost a gallon of aftw pH 6.2. BDM, each received 1.7L aftw with 8ml Fusion Bloom, 10ml Resinator and 4.9ml CaM+ pH to 6.2 Did not do a breakdown of ppm but the total was just shy of 1kppm.
CC has been flushing for a week now and I am hoping that next week will be harvest time for her. The larger leaves are showing some yellow aging finally although everything else if quite green. BDM are stating to show some yellow too so it is time to think about starting their flush. Maybe another dose of Resinator yet to go. I will check trichomes on everything before harvest though. Going for a majority milky, some amber some clear. Hope to not over do them, but do want a more narcotic effect.
I must say that the BDM under the CFL has really gained some weight. Trying for pictures tomorrow night. With the odor such a problem, it has really put a damper on my gardening activities. My new room will help and I hope the temporary tarp "room" will help in the mean time!!
