Day 52 - And Then There Were Two....
Back again!
I've posted this one up the correct way this time @WildBill so hopefully you won't have to fiddle with your VPN to see this update in all it's glory (cough...)
Here they are yesterday on day 53...
You'd be forgiven for thinking that's a single plant there, a MASSIVE Blackberry Kush.... but there's actually three plants!
See if you can spot them all!!!
If you peek over on the right side, behind the monster BBK, there's a Night Queen....
....and If I hold my camera up among the lights and point down, you can see how wide the NQ is.....
You can see the rear right side upright pole in the top right edge of the photo, and the left side floor pole in the bottom left of the pic, so she pretty much takes up the whole width at the back.
Lots of Night Queen bud coming my way!
Her leaves indicate just how damn hot it is in there, so I've cleared out a lot of vegetation inside and under the canopy, and used a couple of yoyo's to pull her out a bit and make use of some space that suddenly became available in the back half of the tent.
So where's the third plant????
"Hang on" I hear you say. "What about the Colorado Cookie that was in the back there last time???"
Here she is on the left the day before (day 52), with the NQ on the right....
Without that pesky she monster BBK in the way, you can see a sizable NQ in flower on the right, and the still vegging CC on the left.
Here's the CC on her own...
Lots of fairly healthy (excuse the mild heat stress) tops all bursting with new leaves....
But it's day 52 and no flowers?
Not again!!!! Must be a photoperiod, and this time I just don't have the space to give her a tent of her own to let her finish off on 12/12.
So without any further ado, I chopped her down in about 5 minutes and compressed her into a paper bag to dispose of later on. That's the white paper bag in the bottom left corner of the first pic of today's post..... the elusive third plant.
So just the Night Queen and the Blackberry Kush.
Only two strains this run then, but together they pretty much fill the tent, so I'm hoping for a good 30 ounces in the end.
Here's that BBK again...
She's like a Christmas tree!!!
With lights off you can see that there's lots of bud developing...
There's so much of her that to get any closer, I'll have to show you the top half first.....
Then the bottom half....
She's just a bit more than 1.35m tall and there's at least twenty or more side branches that have stretched up alongside the main cola, all loading up with flowers. @DutchPassionTony Will this be another 20 plus ouncer?????
The NQ is about a metre in height, quite a good size under normal circumstances, and the tent's 1.2m deep and wide, and 2m high.
The lights for the BBK are at max height, so it's chock a block in there as usual, just with 2 instead of my normal 4 plants!
Don't forget, it's only day 53 (!), so I expect them to go for another 4-5 weeks. Again, I've used a few Yoyo's on the BBK to pull her out and make use of any spare space.
They are on an EC 0.8 pH5.8 mix with PK13/14 for a few days, and I've been giving them a good feed twice daily.
They take a good 9-10 Litres each per watering, the relentless 35+°C heat and their sheer size must be making them thirsty AF.
Thanks for joining me in my monster hunt, more next week!

Cheers mate, but I came to the conclusion that she was a photoperiod plant and she had to go.You made that CC look positively perfect with your defoliation. At least to me, it looks like a nice, round, densely filled in bush. Proper topiary.
