Love your lights and your setup...all looks organized and clean..

he is tuned into his system and bio critical culture path,................... he knows whats coming next......... along that path,................. and what awaits at the end, another half kilo plant yield !!!

Nice team work with the Doc to raise the ph.

i would read the process white'ty as you will be having to make up and apply the same Bi-carb Molar solution, to raise your Ph, after you added 3tbls of lime to 15ltrs.................. which dropped the Ph down from 6.8 lightmix standard, to 5.9 !!!...................... tee is 4 days late with satdy update !!............... bet they look massive. It's easy to loose a few days in the summer sun @35c............... when you are smoking Dutch Passion beans !!! ALR

Welcome back! It's day 76, and they are 23 days into flowering.
This is how they look as a group...

...on the right is PAK1, with Des Frans looming over, behind her. PAK2 is on the back left (centre in pic).... you'd see more of her if it wasn't for that bloody great Gorilla in front.

Yes, that's right... the Gorilla has recovered from her illness and has stretched like a bastard.
She is just over 130cm from the top of the coco.....


From an upward angle, you can see those long, long stems...


Wouldn't it be lovely if that filled up with hard buds! I reckon only her top half will do the business, but let's see!
I have a funny feeling she'll need some cane support soon... I had to put one in just there to get the pic.

PAK1 was a slow starter, but she's budding up nicely...


I thought I'd take her out for a bit...


I'm looking forward to seeing some beautiful flowers on her as these next few weeks progress...


Now with the Gorilla and PAK1 out of the tent, here's Des Frans (right) and PAK2 (left) at the back...


The other Purple Afghan Kush, PAK2 is just so big and full of fluffy bud sites...


Here's a closer look...


Des Frans is also a lofty Dame, also topping the 130cm mark, and is just centimetres from the lights.....


I'm hoping those long stems will be Donkey dicks by the end of all this!


You can see just how close she is to the lights! I'm wondering if it's too late to supercrop her and Gorilla...

At the moment the 4x Skyline 400s are on ratchet pulleys, and they are maxed out, so my last resort is to get some small carabiners and use those instead, giving me an extra 10 cm or so.... but it's gonna be tight.

I put those 2x Skyline 100's in this week, keeping them on each side at the back, and having full Skyline 400 coverage coming forwards.
Here's a view from the side window.... my eyes are fucked after taking this shot....

I'm tempted to try and squeeze in the old Helios 2's in there alongside the Skyline 100's.... I dunno, @muddy-ledhydroponic, what do you think.....a couple of Skyline 200 mark2's might look nice in there instead!

Feed is at EC 1.1 pH 6.3 and they're getting House and Garden Cocos A&B, Roots Excellurator, Multizyme, Bud XL, Bud Candy and a touch of Nitrogen to support the stretch and give a framework for those big fat buds I'm after.

I'm still using rainwater, and we've got a week of thunderstorms, so it's gonna be nicely charged for my Girls in the final push to the finish. Plus there's been loads of Bats around, so all that shit on our roof will be well appreciated by them as well.
Thanks for looking in, have a stony old weekend!

never too late to supercrop, might even help improve yield too

That was quite a shock that update bruva !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bugger me they did return didant they !!!!!!!!!!!!! the growth since last update is phenomena on it's own !!!!!!!!............ here are my observations tee.......

with Des Frans looming over,

The PAK1 won the race for light,............ being oviously a super bean !!!!!!!!! she is taking the light from the DF sadly......................... it's not to late to remedy with a couple of stakes on the left side of PAK1 pot,........ then pull "In & Up" the bows of PAK1 leaning over the DF........... allowing the bows on the DF to flourish in the light opened up.................... you will be glad you did later man !!!!!!!!!!! here is the (Bean Spot Write Up) seedfinder.eu............... the word insane is not used lightly !!!!!!!!!!!!! more than once yea !!!!!!!! 9.8/10 !!

Flowering Time Indoor: 77 - 97 days (~87 days)
Yield / Quantity Indoor: The crop of this strain is insane high and absolutely top yields.
General Impression Indoor: is all together insane strain - absolutely recommendable.
Strength / Lasting Effect: The weed insane strong and very long lasting.
Votings of our users: Destroyer gets 9.83 of 10 possible Points in the average!

Yes, that's right... the Gorilla has recovered from her illness and has stretched like a bastard.
She is just over 130cm from the top of the coco.....

god man them fems love you more than auto's bruv !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from the infirmary to the race track !!!!!!!! they look stonking tee.............. you are going to have to use the room and not the tent for fems bro !!!!!!!!! your going to need a 2.3m ceiling height !!

Wouldn't it be lovely if that filled up with hard buds! I reckon only her top half will do the business, but let's see

tee.................... you have got to super crop all the stems that are within 60cm of the lights ok................... do it 30mins after a good feed ok................ so the stem are nice and soft ok...................... then "Thumb Then Over, at just below 90 degree's"........fold em ..... INTO A LIGHT VOID DIRECTION........................

now from experience, i can tell you the DF will right it's self like an animal within a week..... from the 1st supercrop.............. that means a 2nd supercrop event.................. supercrop it 'Below" the last "Supercrop Knuckle Bend" ok.............. you will be supercropping several times the DF all the way to the harvest.............. so no, all the DF "candy Sticks" will get light, and do the business tee ok.............

Now with the Gorilla and PAK1 out of the tent, here's Des Frans (right) and PAK2 (left) at the back

Put a draw string round the monster PAK1, and let the DF get her wings out !!!!!!!!!!! pull her up to a centre stake........... she may need some supercrop also tee man...........

You can see just how close she is to the lights! I'm wondering if it's too late to supercrop her and Gorilla...

train them into the light post a good watering when the bows are nice and soft............... 30mins after a feed....... thumb em over !!!!!!!!!! just below 90 degree's tee............

Feed is at EC 1.1 pH 6.3

i can see some tip burn on the DF and PAKS................. i would back down the nute a bit to 0.9 nute only from 1.1 tee.................... you dont have any rainwater Ec so 1.1 is all nute............... probably a bit strong this early in the flower game................. these are sativas, so i dont exceed 0.9 nute only as my max flower ec usually............ on fems sativas bruv........................ cracking show grow man.................. they look super man........... these fems, collectively may break your 4 plant yeild...... volume yet !! nice work bruv, hope alls ok your end...............you moving to Autumn now bro ??....... ALR

Talk to Muddy bro

i did, 7yr ago, i have 4no photon 189's from the "Mudds"....................... i took 2no 100mm cooler fans out of each leaving 2 in each, to quiet them a bit............. they are still in service 7yr later,....................... not a peep, apart from the odd duff driver.................. the photon's have the "IR & UV" diodes....and the correct % in veg & flower diodes mix............ so many led makers dont even put in !!!!!!!!!!! yet these two are among the most important of radiations you need !!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just finish a DesFran automatic in 78 days to 60% amber proper ripe................. so no loss of output signage yet !!!! crazy, i would buy new light on tick !!! but i still dont need them.................... ALR

 

[AutoLowRyder]

I'm hoping those long stems will be Donkey dicks by the end of all this!

they will but they will be bent over at 90 degree's and long candy stick of DF canna...... !!!!!!!!! as i mentioned before..................... you did have the good luck not to get a Meow Thia pheno..................... yours is "Oaxaca"............ stonking pheno.......look how extra thin those primordial sativa leaves are man !!.....she like 32c tee....... you will need a cane support for practically every DF bow tee........ 2ft streak of sativa canna candy floss, is heavy........ or just put one in the centre and pull all the bows back under the light, giving side support for the bow to lean on while heavy............

the oaxacas pheno is......... the one i raved about during the 1st DF test grow the first time it was issued in uk from DP, to a culturists........... it was me !!........ i got the job of running 'Alberto's" DF pheno's............. can you get a whiff of the DF aroma yet bro ??????..................you would not think this plant has had the top taken out earlier on, !!!!!!!!
the flowers on PAK1 are two thirds larger than the DF, that means 15 to 20 days longer to get the candy stick to fully ripen, but will be worth the weight............. as these are fems, you cant add auto's to the tent near the end............... as i am on auto's, i can add my next fems on 18/6 to the tent while the auto's are finishing off !!........... you will have to wait for the DF and PAK2 to finish, before you fire your auto's back in........................ UNLESS YOU GOT THE FEM BUG.....!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL AV WHEN YOU WEIGH UP THIS LOT !!!!!!! A MASSIVE HARVEST COMING YOUR WAY BRUV......... ALR

The Last DF joint i made was a celebration "Blunt"......... after i packed in the tobac !!

it stoned me so bad, i made another, an X wing DF !!!!! ALR
