Indoor Teetee's Multi Strain Madness
- Thread starter Teetee
- Start date
Aye, and the days of organising hunts safely gone.... Lol...
Knowing you're a discerning Ultimate Grandee..... Here's a couple at day 40 I've treated to some Mapito.... The lil one is some 3 weeks behind and will move shortly.... Me thinks.... Ruthless defoliation and supercropping has/is being administered.....
Presently they're sharing a habitat with these geometrical Mephisto toddlers, but not for long....
Girls are looking amazing that pineapple express i totally want to try.. great grow you have got going here
Cheers @Corgy @RaeRizzle420 and @archie gemmill for popping in, I appreciate your interest in my grow. It's the weekend again, so time for another update. It is day 76 and I'm playing the waiting game.....
Here's my tent full of bud......
clockwise from top left.... Cream Mandarine XL, Night Queen, Toofless Alien and Pineapple Express
Starting with the Alien, she's on an EC 1.0 nute mix, same as last week.
She's hard to fit into one picture!
Here's the main Cola...
and a bit closer....
As you can see, mainly milkies, so not far to go. I just wanna see a few more orange pistils before I think about chopping her.
Pineapple Express (day 71) next....
She's on an EC 0.8 mix as last week.... seems to be the sweet spot with her. This is the main Cola....
She is really pushing out the trichomes.....
I'm looking forward to making some Canna-Coconut oil with those leaves!
Cream Mandarine is the least advanced (even though she's the oldest at day 76), having only recently started building her colas.
But she's progressing well, and is on the same EC 0.8 feed as the Pineapple. Here's the main Cola tip...
Night Queen is also doing well, small but plenty of bud....
Again she's having the same as the Mandarine and Pineapple. Her main cola is looking good...
and loads of sticky trichome action....
I don't want to lose any of this precious bud to mould. In my last few grows, I have noticed mould appearing at around day 5-6 of flush (losing a half once or so), so I wonder if all that water I give may be the cause..... that's why I have bought some AN Flawless finish.... I want to do a good but quick flush without raising the humidity too high so that the dreaded white fluff doesn't fuck things up. .
I gonna probably start flushing the Toofless Alien during the week, maybe the Pineapple too.... if anyone has some flushing tips, I'd be keen to hear.
Normally I just water my 20L airpots with 20L plain EC 0 rainwater (and a dose of Flawless Finish) getting plenty of run off. I use an aquavac to remove the runoff.
I leave for an hour and run another 10L through, again removing the runoff.
My reasoning here is that the first 20L washes out the Coco completely. During the first hour, the plant will release its excess nutrients into the clean water in the Coco, which I then wash out with the next 10L.
I try and give another 10L 3 or 4 times on the first day, keeping the Coco wet for maximum osmosis.
From the 2nd day onwards my enthusiasm wanes, and I just water to run off 1-2 times a day for 5-6 days, but as I say, I've had to crop earlier (like after 4-5 days of flush) because I have spotted mould. Ideally I would like to flush for 5-6 days and let them dry out for 1-2 days more before cropping.
I have quite a few circulation fans going, but I think that all that water I'm using is making the RH too high..... do I need to flush that much?
After the Cyclone, my rainwater tank is full so I don't have to worry about conservation or meters etc.
What do you think?
Enjoy the weekend peeps, more next week!

- are you special?
to flush or not ? hmm pop22 wrote an interesting article on flushing.some do some dont,and some kinda half flush.its a personal thing.
good luck.
good luck.
All those girls look amazing i bet your looking forward to a wonderful harvest.. and I've read mostly flushing is kind of a personal thing as some people say yea and some say no.. i did my first grow but not going to with my second
Cheers for your replies @RaeRizzle420 and @archie gemmill, I have been a bit quiet this week, cos I've been in crop mode....
Rolled up a few fat ones, made sure there's a fresh chilled can of Jim Beam and Dry close by..... laid down a sheet to catch the sweetleaf then got the headlight LED torch on, plus my specs, and finally some decent sounds via my phone and some earplugs. I cropped till I dropped, often up till 3-4am.
I got to work last Tuesday night, Pineapple Express chopped at day 81 after a 4 day flush.... I was getting EC 0 run off after 2 days, and I'm glad I got her down then as she had a little bit of mould in her main cola, losing maybe a quarter ounce max. The rest of her was solid with a heavy coating of juicy trichomes. Here's a shot of a stem that's been hanging for a week.....
On Wednesday, I took down the Night Queen (day 73) having had 5 days of flushing. She gave me a decent amount of nice solid bud, again looking very juicy.
Here's a stem after 6 days hanging showing plenty of glitter....
All sweetleaf was bagged and fresh frozen, ready to make Canna coconut oil sometime in the next few weeks.... I'm really looking forward to that, as I made sure the trim was high quality with no crispy old fans etc spoiling the show.
I hang the longer stems in perforated cardboard boxes, and brown paper bag the rest. Here's the PE (7 days dried) and NQ (6 days dried) in one box today.....
.... and here's some bags hanging.....
The Toofless Alien was next. I started harvesting her on Thursday and finished on Saturday watching the Hammers screw up Spurs season.
She was a big leafy old girl, and was full of long thick sticky colas. Here's one that's been hanging 3 days.....
I have her stems hanging in numerous boxes.....
The shorter one front right, had a touch of mould in it, so I hacked off the main cola head. She was as long as, and maybe thicker than that one at the front left
There's 3 more Toofless Alien stems in this box as well, otherwise crammed with Cream Mandarine buds.....
I started taking down Cream Mandarine on Sunday having given her a 5 day flush. I also had the opportunity to switch off the lights for a day before cropping so I could get her to squeeze a few more trichs out. She was surprisingly big and had masses of sticky solid bud on her. Here's a shot of some 2 day dried Cream Mandarine.....
I wish I could tell you how amazing everything smells..... but I can't.
I gave up smoking (cigarettes) 6 weeks tomorrow! Been doing really well, no cravings, I just keep reminding myself how much I hate the things. The problem is that I caught a nasty type of flu a week into it, and I'm still suffering to some degree. I have a load of shit in one ear, and despite everything I have tried, I am deaf in one ear, and half gone in the other. Currently I'm on antibiotics, steroid pills, decongestant tabs, and sprays, high doses of Vit C and B complex, and Immune Defence pills.... only now I'm as dry as a Nun's knickers and still bloody deaf.
I actually felt healthier when I was on the cancer sticks.
I'm on the mend, and actually feeling a bit better, and can't wait to get into this lot. I have had a few whiffs every now and then, and every time Mrs Tee comes in she goes "fuck sake...." or "fuckin' hell man....." so I think I have done well. This looks like the highest quality all round grow I've done!
The plan is to box dry them for around 7 days until the small stems holding the buds snap cleanly, then I will chop off the buds and jar them in Kilners for a month with Boveda 62's to cure. I am strict with this, so no little tasters to see..... I will do a weigh off after a couple of weeks jarring.
Thanks for looking in, good growing karma to you all!

Looks like I've found this thread a bit late...stunning colas you got there mate.be interested to hear the smoke report on the pineapple,I love growing fast bud strains,and not tried the pineapple yet.
You look to have done very well yield wise.im toying with the idea of going led...but need a bit more convincing...you rate them? I'm in the uk like yourself,and would appreciate any info on which led to go for.
Sterling work sir...I doth my cap
