Indoor Teetee does some Sawney Beans and some Dutch Passion classics

[Teetee]

Hey, back for my first grow this year... we had so much bud to go through, I tried as hard as I could to smoke it all and now finally, supplies are running low.

It was a blistering hot summer, and growing here in the Tropics is really difficult, so finally things have cooled down now and we are in the middle of 'winter'. Conditions are more favorable for a grow.
We had a rental inspection, about a month ago, so I made sure I had a few seedlings on the go for a week or so beforehand (growing in a cardboard box with a 100W LED and no ventilation) then as soon as the inspection was done, I put up the tent and set everything up again.

I planted 3 Sawney beans on July 1st..... Hellraiser, Samsquanch OG and LSD..... they popped up on the 4th and 5th July. I started them in solo cups and repotted them into 23L airpots on their day 11 (day 16 for Samsquanch).
Coco substrate and House and Garden nutes.
I usually grow 4 plants, but I kept a space free cos I knew that Sawney was sending me some more beans.

The new beans arrived on the 18th July.... what a choice I had to make.... Wedding Cake, Facehugger and something I've been looking for over 30 years.... Bubblegum!!! Thank you Sawney, that has made my decade.

Seeing that the others were already 3 weeks into their grow, I decided on Facehugger as Sawney reckons it is a quick flowering strain, and I'm hoping she'll catch up with the others. I planted one Facehugger on the 20th July and she popped up on the 24th.

Today it's day 32 for the Hellraiser, Samsquanch and LSD, and day 13 for the Facehugger, and here they are....

Starting with LSD, she is huge.... over 80cm already, and she's just starting to flower. She's got great structure, and all the long stems are getting plenty of light, but I might stake her out a bit to maximise things.

Hellraiser is very much into flowering mode. She's also got great structure, but is a bit shorter at 60+cm....

Here's her main cola.... I think she's going to be a real fast one.... don't forget, it's only day 32

Samsquanch had a difficult first couple of weeks, probably because I pissed around with the new seedling too much... I pulled off the seed casing in an attempt to get her to hurry the fuck up.
She's now doing very well, but is a bit shorter at 38cm and is a lot more squat and bushy than the others. I reckon she will continue to pick up and perhaps go a bit longer than the first two.
There's lots of tops showing, and I'm leaf tucking to keep on exposing them in time for the imminent stretch. Here she is...

Yep, there's the Facehugger pot just there at the bottom of the pic.... I transferred her from the Solo cup into a 20L airpot today. Here she is....

So there we go, Teetee's back!!!
Thanks for taking a peek, I hope you pop back again to see how things progress.

Hey, thanks for checking my grow, it's day 38 for the Samsquanch, Hellraiser and LSD, and day 19 for the Facehugger.

Here they are as a group...

The LSD is the tallest there back left, back right is the Samsquanch, front right is Hellraiser and the little Fagehugger is there front left.
You can see the 3x Skyline 400's all at different heights over the smaller plants. The LSD has a Skyline 800 unit all for herself (basically 2x 400 units bolted together).
I also have a Skyline 100 at the back so that I can switch the main lights off and have the 100 on to feed them without alerting the neighbourhood to my antics.

Facehugger is only 19 days and settling in well to her 20L airpot...

She's pretty squat with fat leaves, so I'm hoping she'll stretch a bit and give those new lower shoots a bit of light...

Samsquanch was a bit on the bushy side last week, so inspired by @hope2grow 's recent activity, I decided to pull out and tie down the lower stems to bring some light in to the depths, and maximise her potential. She's 58cm tall.

From above that's really opened her up...

I think I got there just in time, as she is doing a little stretch and just starting to flower. I'm probably gonna have to remove some leaves and any internal straggly buds soon. If anyone's got any ideas as to how much I'd be keen to hear. I like to keep leaves on for as long as possible as I believe the plant uses them as fuel to grow and build buds. Problem with me is I start off cautiously and end up removing too many.

LSD is a monster at 128cm...

She could also do with some lower leaf trimming. Some of those fans are HUGE.
Here she is with lights off...

A bit closer you can see that she's a good week into flowering, so I think we've got another fast strain on our hands....

Talking of fast strains, Hellraiser is racing away...

She's got lovely structure and some good height to her at 86cm. I pulled my finger out last week and staked her out...

Here's the main cola. I figure she's only got another 3-4 weeks left on her, so I started a 5 day course of PK13/14 yesterday (day 39)....

See you next week!

Hey, sorry it's been so long.... we've had a bit of a move around at home and I don't have as much access to my computer to edit photos and post to my thread, grrrr.

Anyway, it is officially day 72 today but lots has happened since my last post on day 38.

Here they all are as a group on day 58....

Fachugger front left with the huge LSD behind her. Hellraiser front right with Samsquanch OG behind.

It's hard to see the Samsquanch because of the very mature Hellraiser in front of her, so heres a different angle to show the big three.....

But it's all about the Hellraiser and those thick long stems of bud, and that massive LSD with branches bowing out with the weight of her nuggets.

Hellraiser first, here she is on day 54...

Nice buds forming all the way through. Here's her main cola....

Here she is again on day 58....

From above...

And some close ups...

Nice and sticky...

All cloudy trichs with a few ambers showing through.... she's very close to being done.

LSD??? well here she is on day 58....

She is a whopper and grew very close to the lights so her cola tip got a bit cooked, but all in all a very nice result, thick clumps of bud all over her.

Here's a closer look at some....

I didn't want a repeat of my last grows where the best colas got hit by mould, so I stopped feeding them on day 61 to dry them out a bit and keep the humidity down, and on day 64 I chopped the LSD and on day 65 I chopped the Hellraiser.
They're both hanging in boxes after a good manicure. I had to scrape the hash off the clipper blades after every stem!
No mould (so far), and I produced two nice marble sized balls of scissor hash. The Hellraiser was quite fruity and the LSD was really skunky... took me right back to the Amsterdam days!

So that's two down and two to go. I'll show you how they are doing in a minute....

Welcome back... here's the Samsquanch OG on day 58...

She was kind of squeezed in there at the back, overshadowed by the huge LSD and the chunky Hellraiser.
Now that theyre both done, the Samsquanch has much more space to spread out.
Here she was yesterday on day 71...

From above, you can see she's got girth...

Her main cola is coming on well, and she has plenty of nice long stems...

She's pretty close to being done now, so here's some close ups...

I'll try to keep her going till day 76, Thursday night , making it a full 3 weeks since finishing PK13/14, plus I can stay up that night to do the chop cos I'm off on Friday!

Gonna have a smoke, then I'll update you on the Facehugger....

Thanks to @Sawney_bean for the eleventh hour (19 days, actually) delivery of the new Facehugger beans... that's why this grow is at day 71, and the Facehugger is on day 52.

Let's go all the way back to her on day 35...

Not looking bad at all, perhaps a bit small for 5 weeks, but Sawney did say she was a fast flowerer.
She always had a hard time finding any space in the tent to grow, but she managed, here on day 39.....

Here again, on her own, day 39....

I had put a few stakes in to pull her out a bit...

I could see early signs of flowering...

Now that it's just her and the Samsquanch,. she also has room to spread out.
Here she was yesterday on day 52...

She hasn't stretched that much, but from above you can see she has plenty of bud sites...

Her main cola is doing well....

and her side branches are frosting up too...

She's on PK 13/14 for another couple of days, then it will be 3 weeks to the finishing line... something like day 73 -75, maybe sooner.

Thanks for catching up with the last 3 posts... I'll try and keep updating more often......
