Looks Good Arminius.

How that CP working for ya? She IS a slow grower ain't she... found out any quirks about her?

 

[Shcrews]

Looks good dude, love that USD swellage. It starts slow but finishes strong! And the smell is ridiculous.

The swell continues! I will post some more pictures tomorrow which will be 8/11 weeks completed.
The smell is one of my favorites... I go in there sometimes and just enjoy the sweet smell of strawberries!

Thanks Incognegro! This is my first time flowering the CP so I don't have too much insight yet. My friend flowered a couple under T-5s and did pretty well, but the buds were not near as dense as the other plants in that run. I suspected he underfed it, so I overfed mine this time... There is still no tip burn, but I got the claw, and the buds stopped growing when they should be swelling... Now I know how far to push her. EC 1.2 may be too low, but 2.2 is too high.
You have any feedback on her? From what I remember reading, it should be a 10 week flower time.

Mega came by and we peeked in the room today. I will be posting more pictures tonight, and he will have to agree, that pictures do no justice!
I picked up a finisher product today and will hope to keep the bud swellage going... There are still new pistols every day. This will easily be my best run yet, every time I look at them I get excited.
I plan on tapering the feeds over the next few weeks. I have some plants that will be done in 10-14 days, more a week later, and the last 8 USD by 9/15. Going to be a busy September...

 

[megayields]

His USD is OFF DAH HOOK! And the Cherry Pie mmmm smells SOOO good and my nose it totally shot! Arminus has the weed doughnuts dialed in now we just need to get his yields up a "bit" more!

 

[Arminius]

Longer veg time on the "filler" plants would have doubled their yield, but as you know, I had to get plants in there asap!
Just got off the phone with the "Ranch" and will be going down there to discuss those plans I showed you the other day. My first goal is to get the veg room in order, and have enough plants from my veg area to fill one 8x10 room by the time we move in Oct 1st.
For those who don't know, I am moving by Oct 1st. My land lords decided to displace a family of 4 with 2 dogs, in favor of one fucking college student... Their notice for us to vacate is right as I am chopping my best harvest yet. Needless to say, I am staying put until then. I will be up to my neck in eviction proceedings for the next 60 days, but I have aces up my sleeve!
Luckily, Mega had a job opportunity for me at a new location, that turned into our new residence! I will have a section of the horse barn that totals 31x11! I will be framing in two 8x10 flower rooms, and an 11x11 veg/propagation room. I also will be tending a friend's garden for the next 2 years while he finishes his botany degree at Humboldt State. So I will be a very busy gardener, very soon...
Thanks for the hookup Mega!

Your welcome bro...can't have my brothers w/o work and a roof over their head...actually it kinda just fell into our laps but thank god for that!

..........sigh back to making 8 gram hash pucks (don't ask long story)

Arminius - Sucks about you losing the house, but sounds like a better thing may have just presented itself . Positive vibes for your new venture.

Mega - Much respect for helping a brother in need. Sometimes the worst kinds of situations turn into the greatest new beginnings though.

 

[Ichabod Crane]

Man what a dick. Make him wait. Might have been a good thing you did not veg longer.

Thanks Mister D! Yes, I think this will be best in the end...

Man what a dick. Make him wait. Might have been a good thing you did not veg longer.

Yeah, I just filed my response to their Unlawful Detainer yesterday. Now they need to file to request a date, then I file for a continuance, etc...
I had contemplated adding more plants when the first round comes down, since this process can take 12+ months in this county, and if I did not have an alternate I likely would have... Even if it was only my op, a TV, and a couch, I was prepared to do it!
Hindsight is 20/20, but two more weeks veg, would have put the USD as first harvest, and the rest after Oct 1st. Either way I have pros and cons. At least now I should be able to harvest my first 1/2 lb of HK#1 in 2 weeks tops for some pocket change, moving expenses and what not. Then the big one comes down 2 weeks before we move, so we will have cash in hand and a couple months bills paid. I am already looking to the next harvest and have plants in veg chomping at the bit, so in the end I will be just fine. May be able to hang up my tool belt completely this winter

Wow didn't know you could shingle a dead horse.

 

[Arminius]

The dead horse symbolizes my roofing career...

Beat it like a red headed step child

Beat it like a red headed step child

I have a red hammer I call Opie, I beat that like a red headed step child when I roof.

 

[Ichabod Crane]

I gave away my hammer I named Red, it was green. I did keep Ester though.

USD Week 7/11 Complete

USD Week 7/11 Complete

Here they are before I got in there and did another round of defoliation. I started my defoliation after stretch by only taking the large fans at the base of the laterals. After that, I pulled the larger fans off the laterals themselves. Finally, starting last night, I will pull anything with a stem per DHF...

Overview of the top of one plant

Close up of mid level cola

You can see there are still loads of new pistols, and if I can keep them growing for the next 3-4 weeks I will blow a gpw out of the water...

USD Week 8/11 Complete!

USD Week 8/11 Complete!

Getting closer, and yet still no slowing of calyx growth, and new pistols... They are still a little wet from a preventative PM spray 30 minutes before the lights came on. I have been dropping the EC by .1 a week, and I believe they are at .8 right now.

Some close ups

My 4 HK#1s are real close. I am starting to see an amber trichome here and there. I will be dropping their EC more rapidly than the USD. They are supposed to finish between 9-10 weeks I believe.

Looking good Arminuns now on to more important questions!

Why shouldn't I upgrade to the T-50-2 tank?

I see you have your priorities in line...
If you like the match making of the VK2801, then go for it. You will lose credits playing it, and the only reason to buy it is if you like to scout for T10 matches...
The tier 4 T-50 gets slightly lower MM, and can do medium tank companies, which the "dash 2" cannot...
I won't buy my dash 2 back, but I have thought about the tier 4...
