In soil the molasses feeds the microbes that will digest some of the nutrients remaining in the soil and the mollasses will pick up some free nutes during flushing. Molasses in a hydrobath will probably grow slime. I know you can add a bit now and then without problems. ElGato switched from Carboload to Molasses during flowering with no ill effects.

If you're careful with the nutes and reduce as the plant slows down the buildup isn't as severe. Those products are for the guys that pour the nutes and want to go from 1000ppm to chopping in one week.

Boy I could sure see a difference between LUI#1 in an 8" pot and LUI#2 rootbound in a 6" pot. LUI#1 showed nute buildup and I just watered with molasses for two weeks and it had a gracefull slowdown. LUI#2 showed tip burn, nute buildup, and then pulled def's and ended real quick once I went to water/molasses. There's a balance between rez/pot size and the final amount of nutes both in the plant and available for takeup.

So since the quality of relaxation is paramount to me, I must be patient (I must be patient... I must be patient). I haven't even tasted this harvest yet, so I'm gonna give her a proper tasting tonight, with the popcorn culled from her the other day - you can see it in the lower right corner of the wide-shot above, next to the glasses that I forgot to take out of the picture!

Sure hope this weed has been worth the wait!!

My boy is Jonesing. With all your patience and attention to detail, have you thought of how you are going to cure these fine buds. Of course this will add weeks until you can enjoy the fruits of your labor, whatcha gonna do?

P.S. From that picture of your glasses, I was able to obtain your your name, address, telephone number, occupation and your DNA. Now if I can do all that, just imagine what LEO and the DEA can do? LOL, lighten up Francis.

Hey Green Smoke! I'll be doing the mason jar cure thing. I'm a light-duty toker, in fact, I still have a bit bud left-over from my 1st. grow from, like 2 years ago - 1.75oz a year!! It helps calm-down the back pain when things get bad there.

Heh-heh, yeah, but ya got to admit - those glasses just don't seem to belong in the shot. I need to take 'em off when I use my magnifying loup, to check trichs.

Since you consume so little, maybe you could spare a little for a small experiment in making some cannabutter. Cookies! Yummmmmmm. The stone lasts alllllllll day.

Just read through your log and I am fairly certain that your cold temps is what has prolonged your grow.

That said, it looks fantastic and I wish I had your patience haha

Hey LOTH, welcome - thanks for stopping-by!!
I'm kind-of a newbie, so I really have no other grows to compare to. I'm not so sure how helpfull my input would be. Thanks for the props, all compliments are gladly accepted here for sure!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure also - thanks for droppin'-in, and the compliment - I think the harvest will be worth the wait, Raphael!

Actually, I've been looking at many of the great recipes on these boards, I just may do that, if I have a harvest over, say, 3oz.

 

[LandOfTheHaze]

i2kan, your grow looks great for a newbie grow.

im sure they would love to see your work even if it is a "newb grow"

all input is viewed by others and is always greatly appreciated.

looks like youre gonna have some nice smoke. have fun with it

BUMP!! Dude it's been over a week with no update, where are we?

 

[guest 77721]

my Thai-Light is sippin molasses and will be chopped this week. I'm lapping you with an 11 week Sativa dominant hybid.

time to chop!!!!

Ya know, I still see mostly clear/cloudy after 115 days! I'm letting my girls sit in the dark for 72 hours, then I'm going to chop, even if they aren't showing amber.
I've got 5 clones in the bubbler, I think I'll put the 1st. 2 "rooters" into the cab for another grow, and then plant the remaining outside - I'll keep Y'all up on that progress.

Sorry 'bout that Green Smoke - where ARE my manners!!!

 

[guest 77721]

Wow 116 days, that's like 16 weeks. Your NL's should be an 8 week strain. I can see going a week or two longer but 2 months? Any ideas why it's going so long?

I just don't know - Cool temps, Dyna-Gro ferts, no bloom agents, flushing way too late - no fert clearing agent; any or all of these reasons.

weird, very weird!

Maybe its your light bulb? Is this it's first grow? To be perfectly honest, who cares! You grew yourself some green smoke brother.

Now come off some pics will ya?

 

[guest 77721]

I think it's from lot's of nutes in the end has gotten built up in the plant which is keeping her going. I had a shiskaberry go 90 days because it was overwatered and had an underdeveloped rootball.

You gotta try my LUI. She's got a mellow stoney buzz that lasts for over 6 hours. Great pain medication. I get a bit anxious from my other strains with a bit of a tight chest feeling but not with the LUI. The high seems to have a ceiling so if you smoke too much you get stoned more.

Maybe a pure Indica or a Indica dominant hybrid is more up you alley....

Yeah, this is the 1st. grow with my lamps - but you're right, it's homegrown, be it ever so humble!

OK - go ahead Red, make all of us jealous! Yup - I'm a indica-type kinda guy, I get paranoid with racier herb. Congrats on growing a great smoke!!

Well, I did it - Chopped last weekend, hung it till today (6 days), and just finished brown-bagging my harvest. Here's what the drying-rack looked like, before manicure and bagging:

View image in gallery​

These are by no means huge buds, I was in-fact, rather surprised and disappointed in the actual size of the bigger buds, and how much popcorn I had... until I weighed & totaled - 32.7 grams of smaller buds & popcorn, 49.7 grams total "larger" buds.

82.4 grams of fairly dried-out weed, almost 3 ounces - Not terrible for a 1st. run, I guess.

Lessons learned:
1) TRIM - I need to keep things under better control, started looking like a jungle in there, I feel it hampered yield. I need to trim popcorn off from underneath the screen! Sacrificing a few buds in the beginning will make for bigger buds in the end (Right Red???)

2) Follow a nute schedule - I think my harvest took so long is because I fed - and fed- and fed. I didn't taper nutes till the very end. I think I'll also get a flushing agent for next time.

3) Switch to 12/12 quicker - I let the screen get over 3/4 full before switching, which resulted in out-of-control growth in flower.

Live and learn - that's what it's all about!!

Congrat's on a fine harvest. See old dog's can learn new things...
