Man, Some of the colas I've seen here on IC must therefore be gigantically awesome in reality ...

Well what it lacks in size it easily makes up for in frostiness. I've noticed some strains really don't put on serious size until the final 10-20 days. I think some can almost double weight and volume during that time period.

Looking forward to the next update, take care.

Chevy,

Great work my man! Everything looks beautiful! Have you tried any AACT's with your tomaters? Mine absolutely loved them last season! So much so I doubt I'll ever grow those tasty globes without using AACT's again.

Love the blumat setup. I run those as well. Try a 27 gallon rubbermaid if you want more away time. I generally only use the large res when I'm going to be out of town for a few days. However, as you've experienced, you need to be prepared for the runoff IF something bad does occur.

Good luck with all of your future projects! Love and peace!

Hey Kiloz! Good luck with your medi haze and may the frost be with you hehehe !

Thanks for the kind words soil margin ! true that, I'm having problems atm even with the trellis I put in. The heads are getting heavier and heavier, and I already knocked the two biggest ones over just putting the trellis in. They continue to grow ans swell though ;-)

Maestroman! Damn, you've got to help me out here... I have no idea what in heaven's name an AACT could be ! Alien Army Clingon Tomatoes ?
You'Re right about the rezs.... I try to balance between capacity and runoff overflow safety...



Next update cooooming !

Hi folks,
next update, as promised !
We're at day 101 from seed/ 64th of flower.

The colas have been continuing to put on weight and volume, even though I put the trellis in there, they're leaing over and would normally have to be fastened with strings at this point.
They are a 10week strain says CBD crew, and that's probably going to be right. We're in week 9 right now. For a week they have only beedn fed water with a little drip clean and they are using up what's left in the fans, yellowing everywhere, especially the one in the back. I know it's kinda hard to see with all the bright light but I couldn't go in during night today...sorry.
Here's the whole tent:



The CBDSH girls have taken over the place, the jackflashes are cornered as are the toweedoes.

The pistils are turning orange and brown, but no signs of amber trichomes yet. I'm going to wait for a good amount of amber, somewhere between 30-40% I'd say.

And here's one of the top buds:



We're getting there, I'd guess another week or two... next update coming as soon as there's some amber !

Take care everyone and stay safe !

AACT's=Actively Aerated Compost Teas

The ladies and tomaters absolutely love 'em! There are some really good threads in here concerning them. I have to say I'm an AACT enthusiast. I use them all the time/sans flower.

A gentleman such as yourself would benefit greatly from their use; hell, everyone would!

[Chevy cHaze]

maestroman! Thanks for enlightening me!
I've never worked with teas, but I do like the idea a lot.
I've also read about them quite a bit, just was not familiar with the short name.
I'm thinking my space is too small for this right now, but maybe I'll just brew up a small 5L bucket or sumpin.

How's the odor of one of these in action. Yeah depending on what you put in the sack, but any too wild of odors you encountered ?

thanks man!

Bong Jour CBD people,
Here's another update.
We are in week 11 of bloom and CBD crew states the CBD skunk haze as an 10 week strain. Well this is not the association for 90° angles and there's always a little variation, isn't it ? And that's a good thing too!
We're almost there my friends.
They have been flushed now for almost 20 days, runoff PH is good at around 7 and has 200ppm. So they REALLY have been flushed.

It's very visible too, leaves are fading to yellow and dying off, everything is coming to an end.
Here's aview of the whole tent:

resin production and swell have pumped hard, it's so sticky and full of crystals in there, I' going to wear sunnies for harvest hahaha. Good idea anyways with the HPS just a foot from my head and eyes... Can I get a tan from an HPS btw ??

both strains in there, the Jackflashes and the CBD SKunk Hazes are now displaying the first amber trichomes. I will wait a few more days to see that increase a bit and then it's chop chop.

Let's start with the roommates first, the JFs
Here you can see the bigger one, leaves are dying off, als dried up and yellow



Here's one of the bigger buds of the one JF that#s leaning more to the indica side of her ancestory:


and here's another one from the same plant:

[Chevy cHaze]

This one might interest you guys, I really was lucky and have found one sativa leaning pheno.Yes, that's what I was looking for. Note the totally different structure of the plant and the thin-fingered leaves. O yeah:


she also does way better under the starving conditions compared to her sister. Only a slight yellowing so far. Might let her go for another week...


Now on to the real stars of this little circus, the CBD sKunk Hazes!

I had to put strings on most of the top buds, they just got too heavy to support themselves:


this one too:



Here's on of our fallen friends:


the stem incl. xylem and phloem is still intact, so it lives on. Just got too heavy for the little stem...It's resting its head on the shoulders of the toweedoes til final harvest.

and finally , here's one of the few that can still support itself:

[Chevy cHaze]

And lats but not least, a little update on our hopefully-soon-to-be very tasty friends the Toweedoes:
They're ripening and soon there will be caprese, tomato salad, and all kinds of good things!


slowly we'Re getting to the sweet & juicy zone...

and these here are even closer to harvest:


Mhhh mmmhhhh tomatoes!

Next update will be chop .

Take care eveyone & stay safe,
