The tent is getting full...

I tried to get a shot from above to show the full extent of the canopy....

Not much difference really!

The PAKs are about a week ahead of the Gorilla and Des Frans, mainly because they have been well behaved all through the grow so far, and didn't need much in the way of supercropping.

PAK1 is raised to the level of the others. She is nice and compact with good looking colas forming. They were beginning to bow out, so I have had to put in a few stakes to support the weight of them and bring her in a bit.

Here's the main cola...

PAK2, is huge, and it's been quite hard to get a picture that shows her in all her glory.

This is from the front door, you can see a supercropped Gorilla stem right at the front.... everything behind that is PAK2.....

Again, some support is needed to keep those heavy buds up...

Gorilla has been recovering from some late supercropping, so she's a week behind the PAKs....

Here's one of the supercropped stem tips.....

.... and another main stem......

Des Frans is a couple of weeks behind the PAKs.... she takes longer anyway, plus she was supercropped a lot. I have cut off a lot of stems from her, so she can just concentrate on making bigger buds up top.

Again, due to her size and lack of access at the back, it's hard to get a decent photo. This is from the front door.....

.... and here's a supercropped stem tip.....
day 92 Des Frans 3.JPG


The brown tips on all of them are probably due to me being a bit hot with nutes 2 weeks ago. There also seems to be a bit of Cal Mag def going on, so I will conside increasing Cal Mag next feed.
I have reduced the ECs in response to the tip burning, and they seem happy.

Last week, week 5 of bloom, I gave the PAKs some PK13/14, and now week 6, they are on an EC0.9 feed with BAC Nutrients 'F1 Extreme' late flowering booster at half strength.

This week (6) I started giving the Gorilla and Des Fran PK13/14, and will move onto F1 next week.

I was given the F1 (NPK 0-13-19) by my growshop dude for free last year when they ran out of my usual H&G Top Shooter (NPK 0-20-9). It seemed to do just as good back then, and as I can't afford some Top Shooter this grow, I've dusted off the bottle, and will use the F1 instead.

The tent stinks of cannabis, and when I was putting in the stakes and yoyos, my arms were up in welts and my eyes were burning, only antihistamines sorted it out.... YES!

Another show stopping grow, Teetee! That PAK2 is a legitimate beast! It's gonna be fun to watch the buds develop. More supports wil be needed for sure!
 
That PAK2 is a legitimate beast!

yep she is defo a super bean................

HOLY MOTHER OF BUDS! WHAT A VIEW!

They have bounced back now with the mother load !!........... was that the first shot of F1 that delivered the 5mm tip burn then tee mate......... Ec 1.1 ??....................... the gorrila and PAK 1 are smothering the DF a bit !!............ the 100% sativa, like all sativa's are usually lower yield, and much higher potency !!.......... the DF is leaning back watching the PAK action !!................

the sativas tend to fill right out with trichs right at the last moment.......... and continue during the flush to load up............... you mat need some extra canes to pull the long thin sativa stick stem back into the light zone !!........... the DF looks like she is in line to finish not far from the rest tee.. nice to see em "All" loading up the trich goodie's, we got them back into specs just in time for the load up !!................. they look sorted now man................... nice work there @Teetee... well done man........ say they had 3wks left to the flush 22nd April, then 8 day flush end of April, how would that sit with the inspection tee ???............ is that 2nd wk of May bruv ??.................. best ALR
 
don't wanna run out of bud, and there's a house inspection in May.

8th April today tee, 3 and a bit weeks to the inspection, DesFran flowers have only just started to get the trichs on a bit, by the end of April, should be, she will be loaded up quite a bit more before the chop............ going to be a close run thing though !!........................ as usual with these things, down to the wire it will be !!......... so two weeks more of nute, then a 9 day flush to end of April chop tee ??.................... you aint been in for a week you must be planning up something bro !!..........

(Women's FA Cup).......WHU "2" Reading "1" semi's = WHU "0" Everton "1", Toffee's = (Everton) knocked WHU women's team out of FA cup on 13th March 2019, last hope of any glory gone, for this year then !!!!...................no change there then !!.............ALR

It's a nice problem to have.... as you very well know!

HOLY MOTHER OF BUDS! WHAT A VIEW!
cheers man.... thanks for those rep points as well .... I always appreciate those coming in!

Just buds everywhere bro. great grow.
Cheers Bro.... these Skylines are really the business! Thanks also for the rep points man, you are too generous!

8th April today tee, 3 and a bit weeks to the inspection
no word on the Gestapo yet..... they usually give a month's notice before the Gruppenfuhrer knocks, so there's plenty of time.
We've closed down Tom and Dick so we can put all our efforts into Harry..... etc etc.

Being true Claret and Blue, I am not surprised at all.
 
Day 106 (day 53 flowering)

Not long to go now!!! This grow has taken ages, what with the extended veg period while I fucked around with the pH and everything.
Since then, I've not bothered with pH readings, I just mix and go.

The Autumnal colours in the tent give away my 'fly by the seat of my pants' technique.....

Clockwise from top left, PAK2, Des Frans, PAK1 and Gorilla.

Now we are in mid 8th week of flowering, and the PAKs are supposed to finish on day 60. They are closest to being done, as I didn't play around with them too much.

PAK1 will finish first, probably right on time.....


She is so nearly done, I'm seeing all milky trichomes with a few ambers here and there. The buds are heavy and sticky AF.
I'm also seeing a purplish tiint to the leaves, but a whole lot more browning as the F1 Extreme Booster wrings all the sugars out of the leaves....


PAK1 was a slow starter, and is no where near as tall as the others, so much so that I have had to put her on a box to lift her up.... but she's come good!


I reckon I will take her down next weekend, bang on 60 days.

PAK2 will be next to come down, probably 3-4 days after PAK1.
She is a sizable beast.....


Looks like 2 plants there, but no. She's big, front and back, and in the valley of Kush.....


She's also browning off a bit, but this always happens when I use F1 Extreme or Top Shooter.... they are both very strong additives, and the feed is only at EC0.9 for both PAKs, and EC 0.8 for the Gorilla and Des Frans.

The PAKs both drink about 6-7L a day, all single day feeds, and the buds on PAK2 are looking tasty....


You can see the effects of the F1.... as those little budlets shoot out of the colas.....




Gorilla will be another couple of weeks yet, even though she's supposed to be done between 58 and 63 days ... she was heavily supercropped in mid bloom, and needed an extra week to recover.
The supercropping has given her a lovely canopy of bud.....


In the middle, is that stem I pretty much snapped in half.... she has amazingly shrugged that off, and has built a bypass around the shattered remains of her stem.....


This is the tip of that stem.... looking fine, with some PAK2 buds in the background.....


Des Frans was also supercropped heavily, and I cut out a lot of the straggly stems, just leaving this.....


What's there is looking lovely.... fat clumps of bud with REALLY strong resin coated all over them.....






She also has a good 2-3 weeks left in her I reckon... just have to wait and see!

That's it for today, have a good 'un!
