Indoor OK, I'm in... Pyramid NYC, World of Seeds NL X BB, Fast Buds GSC

[Oh hello]

These are lookin good now man!

Something that's helped me out big time with growing is forgetting about the dates. I used to stress so bad over plant size and which day it was. If autos are done right a date doesn't matter and if they are messed up dates still don't matter. They finish when they are ready no matter what the calendar says. My last 30 seeds are the same exact strain. I have had crops finish at day 80 and I have 2 now that are day 110. If they make it that long it just means something went wrong. Not the place for advice but I did see you mention size vs dates.

Don't worry if it's time for an update either lol. Send as many pictures as you want. It's nice to follow along with plenty of updates.

@BigSmo

It's always the place for advice. Let it fly. I cannot learn and progress without taking the knowledge of others and observing it for myself. I only use the timelines for a planning tool but I think that is going to go out the window. I blend my fert for each plant since I am only running a couple and each one gets what I think it needs at that stage of growth. I still see people harvesting GSC in it's 60's and cannot fathom how they do that. They do look healthy finally and I think that the combination of hardside containers and a soil mix that was too dense have contributed to that. I also drove my pH a little lower than I probably should have so that has slowed them down a bit. Ah well, live and learn. Looking foward to the second run already since I have fabric pots out weathering in the rain with the next soil blend and it seem much more porous.

I broke down and bought some calmag. I have been fighting with this for the last 3 weeks and I think it is time to put it to rest. Over the summer I might build out my soils and let them Age for a couple of months.

I am trying not to do too many updates as I want there to be some sort of change in the situation and not simply more of the same. They are moving pretty well now and I suspect that I will be able to show them off such as they are. I don't have the best plants, but I probably have some of the cheapest. I and I am having a hell of a lot of fun.

@Oh hello
thanks. I am trying to do what I can. The increase in light DOES seem to helping in the grow. Now lets see if they can produce buds as well. I am hearing that they don't do so well with flowering. Scratching my head on that one. I expected the efficiency on the cheap cobs to be down but i would have thought they were in the proper wave length to do their thing. Gonna have to just wait and see.

How are your girls?

And on a side note, still drinking that Panama Lerida Estate coffee beans.

Checked amazon for those beans. Out of stock. Will definitely buy tho. My current favorite is a bit of a pop label - kopi luwak. It's expensive as shit (pun intended) but a kilo lasts for about 3 months.

My gardens are mostly filled with AutoUltimates from DP. One guy from this forum reached 2 gpw+ (sounds like bullshit, right?) with them, so yeah, yields :smoking:. I've also got Mazar, Blueberry, Blue mazar, WW, GG4, LSD25 and Green Crack. I think like I've missed something... can't remember. Maybe something else from DP.

I'm really looking forward to glueberry from DP. It's gonna come out in January. Absolutely filthy genetics (GG4 x OG kush) x blueberry. @TaNg is currently raising two glueberries (he's got it from DP before official launch - lucky guy).

I really suggest you try GSC first after such a tolerance break :smoking: You're gonna be absolutely fucked but in a good way. Also, taste is amazing!

I'm sure they will start filling out very soon.
Mine are doing good last time I checked, 2 days ago. I watered them, then it rained lol. I kept them in their pots and they have plenty of drain holes so they should be alright. I think I will go have a look at them tomorrow, will try to snag a couple pictures as well.

Small pots and small lights usually end up with faster finish times. I mentioned it here about the bloom transition I think. I hold off on PK as long as possible while the plants are transitioning into flower. This stalls then but can also double their size in 2 weeks time. My 70 day plants go 100 days sometimes. I have 2 mephisto plants well over day 100. They had preflowers when the current crop which is close to chop was just seeds. The longer they grow the bigger they are. Your doing great and I'm positive the next few rounds you'll be slamming some huge numbers. I'm also pretty excited for you to try the 1212's can't wait to see what you think of them.

I will have to either break the main over on the NLxBB or shift to flower mode asap. This measure is from the base of the plant and the container is 12' tall. The tent is only 59.5 in height so...

The others are on a more respectable path due to training them I would have scrogged but pinning them down with bamboo shoots was easier. Just hope the bamboo doesn't root!

It is going to get very crowded inside this tent unless I can either let the side out a bit or finish the big one quickly. She might find her way into the Magical Butter machine. Got a hankering for some home made brownies and peanut butter cups.

Either way I am going to have to figure it out. From now on 3 is the max in this tent. 2 if I up my skills.

Out here at day 38 now. They seem to being rather busy eating the last feed they got. I will hit them heavy for the next 14 days to finish the transition from grow to flower fert. The @FastBuds Girls scout cookies might get a bit more since they seem to be wanting to run longer.

I did two different things with the Girl Scout Cookies. The first one I dropped I have let more or less run its course with some minor defoliation and pony tailing and tucking. The 2nd one is 5 days behind and I bent her over early and hard and have continued to pin out her branches and she has rewarded me with a plethora of good growth points that I hope will turn into tasty buds. They may be late to the party but they are looking pretty good. Both seem to be in their preflower and stretch mode and I am chomping at the bit to know what all the fuss is about firsthand.

The Pyramid NYC is looking rather tortured as I bent her around heavily as well. She is putting on several nice flowering sites though so I hope she gives me some nice smoke. I don't know what to expect so this will be interesting to watch.

The World of Seeds Northern Lights X Big Bud is certainly the largest plant in the tent. She seems to want to tower over the others and I am wishing I had bent her main early but live and learn. She was a freebee and I never look a gift horse in the mouth. If she turns out to be Big Bud size with Northern Lights high I will be one very happy camper. Either way I expect I will be picking an early bud off of her around the 22nd of December to dry over the furnace and have a Christmas treat. Been 6 months so if she has any kick to her at all I will enjoy it.

So on to the girls. No holiday season would be complete without a group photo.

Pyramid NYC

And last but certainly not least, the Fast Buds Girl Scout Cookies. Lets go ladies, daddy wants to get really realllllyyyy high!

And as always, advice is happily taken, and smoke if you got em.

And I am betting you have...
