Went Barebulb Last Night - Cherry Pie Seeds

^ Lol....

I harvested a couple weeks ago guys. Dropped my camera, hence no harvest shots. However......

#2 is the keeper. All turned a dark purple, couldn't get them to yellow with 10+ days of RO h2o, they just turned solid purple...

#2 is sticky as fuck, even dry. Grape skunk ass is what everone tastes! Woot!

Just got the clones into the freshly bleached out flower tent and am waiting on some money to make some improvements before the next flip....

Should be a little better this time gram to watt number-wise. Anyhow, will get another camera and start inundating you all with some more CP s1 goodness.

Keeping one each of #1 a nd #3, but those won't be included in this run.... GOing to supplement the space with some locally sourced OG cuts, I think.

So, my dudes, (relatively speaking) few ladies, I'm back for a second round.

While still very much a budget grow, things have improved and the herb was complimented nonstop!~

I'll get into more details later as I'm already late for two things today. But here's eight CP s1's, #1, #2 (the bombest, diggity~) and #3 (all aptly name, I might add ; )

But here's a room shot from last night. Flipped them this morning, thus 7/28 is day one, week one of flowering cycle.


Cheers!

Looks good DC :biggrin:


Thanks Mr. D :tiphat:

This run, despite this strain (all phenos at this point) being an inceadibly slow vegger, slowest I've worked with to date, I really love the shit out the plants.

Second run has has a few changes made, too.

Smaller pots. 2 gal v 7 gal.

Perlite. Top inch, bottom two inches in each pot. Sianara, fungus gnats!

DRAINAGE. Didn't really realize I had virtually no drainage capability in those large, deep tubs. Switched them up to the 2 gal pots and they do much better.

Being newer to pure coco, and based on what I'd read about watering to the point of the first run, I was watering far to frequently, now that they've been turned, and the roots at least touch the container bottom, if not mostly fill the pot they're in, once the stretch is done, I'm almost certain the pots will be completely filled out without becoming root bound.

More plants. This was a planned no brainer from the start, starting with only five seeds and having to cull the other two as their respective deformities prevented their growth from meeting that of their deathfully slow veg... Had 3 of each, actually had a 100% success rate with the clones this time. However, one of my #3's was dead one day when I got home. This was like 2 weeks into veg too. Had roots, but just fuclking up and dies!

Oh, my veg time cycles went like this on this round. 24/0 - 1 week -18/6 two weeks - 16/8 one week - 14/10 two weeks - Yesterday was first day of 12/12. I think it helped the abuse I give them, the training and all that. They bounced back each time!

Lastly, I've been defoliating quite a bit too. Definitely see an improvement in their shapes and use of the light.

Oh well. This round is all about finding these plants sweet spots. So far, I've been able to cure the purple stem effect that we all saw in my first round. That was due to PH lock out of N, I think.

Easy fix. I observed and took notes for a full round and now know my calibration was a little off. Since my meter reads about .08 too high PH wise. I simply started to feed at what reads 5.66 which allows for the .04 in ph rise between feedings.

The purple stems went, and they seem to be vegging a little faster than they would have last time.

Anyhow, about eight weeks to go at this point. Will be taking some pics and getting them on here over the next couple weeks, so stay tuned.

Looking for a LB from my 600w!

Woot!

D.C. - Up, Up and Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
 
Couple pics after day one complete... Enjoy! D.C!

Couple pics after day one complete... Enjoy! D.C!

In no particular order. Been moving them around quite a bit lately so the pheno specific side for each of the three phenos went out the window a while ago!

Few more... Glad I have veg-for-too-long-sybndrom however, if these were quick vegging plants, they'd have been flipped a couple weeks ago!

Peace and Enjoy the show!

More Random Shots!

More Random Shots!

Man, is it nice to have a camera again! I've been procrastinating on work all morning. Can't stop myself from shooting the hell out of these beautiful Cherry Pie S1's!

I've taken the liberty of excluding the more poor examples of my techniqueless shooting; I don't want to be responsible for spontanious cases of rapid onset eye bleeding....

That said, you may still desire something to lessen the blow of my lackluster photography skill... Love the differences between the first run and this run.

My thinking; I'll have all CP #2's for run three, plus currently about 75% dialed. Third run, perfectly dialed in. But who knows, could have, or possible in the future that I do something to have Jah make wrath upon my little tent. I do extra good deeds from now until I'm physically cripple, regardless. Jah bless.

D.C.

A few more pics : ) : ) : )

Really excited for this round guys. Everything is looking good.

Another two weeks the stretch is over and things get stupid do do dumb.

At four they'll be straight hyphy.

At eight, well, some grape, skunk ass purple nugs.

It's interesting to look back at the seed run with only three plants, v. this run with much, albeit done on miniscule budget, with it's improvements and eight plants.

Likely going to cull #'s 1 & 3 this run, unless they do head and shoulders better in smell, taste and quality of high departments.

#2 is the hands down keeper of the small bunch, but special none the less.

Moving once this comes down, which gives me the opportunity to go ahead and order some new beans, while cracking some of the other stashed beans, likely a few more CP s1's to see what other variants, if any are special.

Just snapped some more shots tonight, will upload shortly. Know it's a little boring at this point; at least I didn't bore you with veg pics!

Tonight's Session With My Bitches, Bitches ; )

Tonight's Session With My Bitches, Bitches ; )

Looking good!

Just sanitized my reservoir, +9ml per Bloom/ +6ml per Micro / .20 grams Epsom salt/ +1.5 ml PH up....

Pretty soon I'll type the notes I've taken up until this point in case it might help someone a little newer to the game.

Perfecto!

No pics tonight guys (and limited gals), however, the stretch is fuggin on and poppin ya'll!

Literally two inch jump since lights on yesterday, these bad bitches might just be the same size, or larger, than their seed mother plants when I first flowered them out!

Whoooooot!

2.5x's the plants, same, or larger plants, likely larger yield too, of better herb, since they're all dialed like 911 after Travon got cizapped....

Boo-yah!

D.C. in the heezy, baaaaaaby!
