[BC Chronic]

thanks b00m...this whole thing has turned in to such a love for every part of the grows and building these cabs...
hello everyone
today is Day 22 and the beginning of week 4 of bloom...as you will see, pistils are popping up like crazy and buds are forming...lol...
here's some pics for you to enjoy...

do you think I should trim anymore leaves??

this pic turned out nice

she's got 8 full inches left to grow upwards so I won't have to tie her down anymore...lol...
I've managed to get alot done on the newer cab lately so i'll post pics in a few...
I look forward to hearing from you all again
Thanks!

[micro420guy]

Looking healthy BC. I would hold off on the leaf snipping and see how that goes. Just my $.02

 

[Chomp]

looks like she's going to be one frosty girl BC! She's looking very sativa...ish lol How's the smoke from this strain bro?

Keep her happy!
Chomp

 

[BC Chronic]

Thanks cheese..I hope she gets big flowers too!
Thank you micro420guy!! You are absolutely right my friend..I've snipped enough...lol..
Thanks Chomp..yes she sure is sativa-ish!! I have'nt tried this strain before so it will be a treat! My friend goes to jamaiica all the time and Lambsbread means no seeds...like sensi to us I guess..Its the mom of martian mean green...
hello everyone
today is Day 24 of bloom and she's a growing like crazy now
here are some pics to enjoy

the buds are coming..lol...

she's such a beautiful plant...
So, what do you think?? I've never grown a sativa dominant strain so I hope all well...
Thanks everyone and I'm looking forward to hearing from you all again

 

[Sgt.Stedenko]

Wow. She's sexy.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Looking great BC. You know how to keep em green.

MMMMMMMMM,..... beautiful sativa man, I love growing sativa in small places as where i stay the only weed you get to smoke is almost pure sativa, Swazi,Malawi,DP, its awesome for me because i get seeds but the weed isnt grown properly or even smokable sometimes.

But yes if you take the seeds find a nice expression it looks something like that,

I think its great when small rooms produce tall sativas.

Follow the link and have a look at my DP, its teeny tiny and that bud will last me 2 weeks when dry.



Namaste

Hmmmm...I've never had the op to try Lambsbread either....

The key to most of the sat dom plants I've ever run was keeping the N levels very low during flower...I grew an Arjan's haze cross that couldn't take any amount of N during bloom without burning ....yours doesn't look like a full on sat...and they also look very healthy... so IMHO just keep the N at very low levels from this point on...

Hope that helps...
Chomp

Thanks Sgt.Stedenko
Thanks Disco..I'm learning alot from you bro!!!
Thanks Arthur Dent.!! sativa's are nice for sure..
thanks Chomp... Yes, she is an indica/sativa cross hence some of those larger leaves...i'll follow your advice too!! thanks!
here are some pics from Day 26 ( today ) of Bloom....

she's packing on the frosties now

think any leaves should be snipped now?? thanks for any help..my cats getting pissed off...lol...

so there are 40 plus days left I suppose...its all good in my books!
I'll go take some pics of the other cab and be back in a few..
Looking for ward to hearing from you all!!!
thanks

 

[StupidBoy]

Really lovin the looks of her Bro! A little stretchy, but not too bad.

think any leaves should be snipped now??

Can shmat! Tell the cat to grow his own! LOL. JK Bro. I'm lucky. Ours have never been interested in what Dad does in the closet. I've heard some real horror stories though about cats completely trouncing a grow LOL.
As far as clipping leaves above the screen... I only do so if they're shading a lower bud site, and can't be tucked under or back... Hope that helps. Keep it green BC.

 

[BC Chronic]

Thanks for the info StupidBoy...I think the stretch is from the T5's like DiscoBiscuit said earlier in my thread...I could be wrong...Hopefully they fill up...my cats all good but man does it go crazy when she see's leaves in my hand..lol..

Here are some pics of the newer cab..

the 4 intakes at the bottom plus part of the trim for the door..

the trim is that angled pine molding...
i wish i could do more but the weather's not on my side...
Thanks

Nice work, BC. Good question about cutting fans. IMO, you don't need to. IMO, one plant doesn't have a shade issue. IMO, it's fans from other plants that can impair photosynthesis. My sd cross had too many fans for air flow. I'd need a bigger fan to suck through all that foliage. I culled fans by the hundreds. The green crack cross had large fans covering some of the cola buds. They were just as big as the unshaded ones.

You've got those nice, thin petioles. IMO, you don't have air flow problems at this point. If it blows up you may have to thin. Nice work on the cab.

[BC Chronic]

Thanks for the very helpful info DiscoBiscuit...my cat ate 25 leaves in a row once...the huge shade leaves too...lol....
Thanks Sgt.Stedenko...lol...cool cats...lol...
hello everyone
Sorry I've been MIA lately...
Its Day 28 of bloom and the end of week 4...I have a question for the 9-10 week growers out there...with an 8 week plant, you stop feeding around the 6th week...with an 9-10 week strain, is it the same sort of thing, just later?? Thanks in advance
She's looking very nice ( IMO ) and smells sooo nice..like a fruity skunk...lol...
Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure..me too!

all these leaves popped out in the last 2 days...sheesh..should I cut some now?? lol...

I've been feeding her every watering ( with lighter doses) and barely any tip burn at all...must be the indica part that loves the nutes....PureBlend Pro is all organic plus it has fulvic and humic acid...love the stuff....not as much as she does though

:yay:

pretty well every leaf is covered in nummies..lol...I hope the buds turn out nice...

here are some pics of my newer cab...

so the T5's will be on either side of the PVC....air will be sucked through this tube into the bloom side..

this is the top showing how the tube goes through the wall...

here's where the veg side vents out into the Bloom compartment...
what do you all think of this idea???love to know..lol...
Thanks everyone for your kind words and help
I hope to hear from you again soon
Thanks

 

[BC Chronic]

Hello everyone...where are you???...lol...
Today is day 30 of bloom....
She usually drinks 3 litres every 2 days but all of a sudden its gone to 4 litres..the containers definately full of roots...
here are some more pics to enjoy

she's really frosty

do you see any leaf cutting in her future? Disco is right though, light still gets through the thinner leaves...

This is where we are with 40 more days to go
I hope to hear from you all soon!!
thanks again

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Nice flowers. That top shot is especially attractive. I hope the high is as unique as the appearance.

 

[troyca1]

you're do it beautifull.nice flowers. greetings from poland

 

[StupidBoy]

SB's looking great BC! Looks like you're going to get a lot of useful trim out of her as well
New cab is looking really clean. I'm not sure if I understand the entire lay out, but I'm a bit concerned that you might not have enough ventilation. You'll be running a 400 right? What size exhaust fan?
Keep it green Bro

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

I was wondering the same. IMO, you may need intake in flower too.
