In on the ground floor, watching this, sv! Looks good.

Thank you, friends for the welcome.

Some info for this round:

Kaia, Tahoe & church sprouted on Sept 28

My seedlings are:

wwxbb
critical +
Snowcap
grapefruit

and, a very special seedling, she was a single seed found in a bag of some extremely well grown ghost og. I have my fingers crossed.

All of these sprouted Oct 22 and are happy. Hoping to find some moms amongst these fine genetics. I also have a few tga beans, some hso bubba kush and a local strain called SF sour diesel.

The ladies are growing great. Tops are being moved under the screen, water every few days. I have noticed some leaf damage. Not sure if a bug got in or if it suffered a tear from the screen. I will be taking clones from 3 of the 4. Kaia kush 1 is growing much faster than her sister.

The seedlings are happy under the floros. The TGA, HSO and local seeds I germed havent popped yet. Hopefully they will soon. I always get nervous after 3 days without a pop.

I am considering trying the general organis line since I am nearly out of ff.

More pics to come, too lazy tonight ;-)

West coast dawg flowers, topped with bluberry budder.

So, after a hard day of fishing, even things that you enjoy are a chore. I got through it, even got pics for ya'll.

The Tea is brewed:

It smells sweet, earthy and alive. All the ladies get some of my sweet tea ;-)

Here is the flower room, although, I am vegging in it at the moment. I dont usually run a scrog but wanted to try it out.

Any how, Here are the ladies:

They are happy and growing well. The tahoe is really filling up her section on screen.

Looks good!

Now for the solo shots:

Kaia Kush 1:

Smaller than her sister, slower overall growth.

SV

Kaia Kush 2:

The color is horrible in this pic. As you can see, bigger and bushier than KK 1. Have a worry she might be a male, but its too soon.

The Church:

Short, but has really come on strong in the last couple days. My wife love this strain.

SV

skunk_valley · Oct 31, 2013

The Buddha Tahoe:

What can I say? She is outgrowing everything. Very vigorous growth.

SV

skunk_valley · Oct 31, 2013

Overall, I am pleased. I will wait until they have covered thier section with nice green tops, then flip and tuck for towering cola forest.

SV

skunk_valley · Oct 31, 2013

It always amazes me, Whenever I give my ladies tea, the grow like mad

I will need to come up with a suitable flowering tea soon. Anyone got recipes?

SV

Hey all, thought I would post an update. The veg cycle is always tedious for me. One of the mundane aspects of the whole process.

the ladies are doing well and responding to the scrog admirably. lower branches are growing, filling the screen with lush, green growth. I haven't removed much from below the canopy only leaves that hung low enough to touch the soil have been removed. Watering them is a pita. I like to avoid runoff so I try to be Johnny on the spot with water delivery. Sometimes I miss, lol. I am working on a design to allow me to automate the watering process. Nothing crazy, just a pump inside a bucket with lines to drippers so I don't need to work so hard.

I took some pics with the lights off to show how green the girls are.

definitely beautifull plants and cab, im impressed by the progress of your plants, should be a serious scrog run

skunk_valley · Nov 5, 2013

Well, after some rough calculations, it was decided to flip these ladies. My decision was based on stretch calculations and a conversation with the wife ;-)

Projected harvest window is early to mid January

SV

skunk_valley · Nov 7, 2013

These girls are 3 days into 12/12

Very happy with the progress and look forward to a tent full of buds

As always, comments' questions etc.

SV

skunk_valley · Nov 9, 2013

Girls got some tea today and are doing well. Alas, no high drama to report. Slow and steady goes the garden, waiting for the stretch to start.
