Well, it's been long overdue. The past few months have been so hectic, I am amazed my girls are even still alive. I figured it was about time to get down to it though and start up a thread of some sorts. So without any further delays...

My cab is 3.5' x 3.5' and about 7 feet tall. It sits in a kind of 'pocket' in my basement and stays hidden behind a mock wall of boxes I built for it. I use a 600 W Hortilux for flower, cab temps are 71-78 F between lights on/off. RH is around 35-40 right now.



I do all my veg in a 4x2 metal rack with a poly cover, it's tucked away elsewhere in the basement and isn't too interesting right now. I veg right now under 240 W of shop flouros, with 180 W of mixed spectrum CFL's I save for the last week or two of veg before flower. Eventually I would like to replace this with a small T5 and a 250 metal halide so that I am a little more efficient with my power usage. I have seedlings in it for my next flowering, Lemon Stinky, a few OG Kush f2's from JLP, Wonder Haze and Swang song's Limon and White Rhino x Black Kush. I'll take some pictures of these at a later date as seedlings are not too exciting. Currently, I only grow from seed. I am an inept cloner at the best of times and have never had the space or time to keep moms around. I took a bunch of cuts off the plants I have in flower right now just as an experiment and out of 18, 6 rooted up nicely in straight coco without any nutrients or rooting hormone, just tap water and 24/7 light in a humidity dome. I will pick up some supplies for cloning and will be experimenting with it more as I would like to start keeping some bonsai moms in the near future.

Anyways, on to the pics! I took these just before lights on, pics are not the most stellar quality wise, I am still learning how to use our new camera and the lighting in my grow area is not the greatest. All plants are on day 38 of flower in the pics. I have 3 SOL mix plants, 1 Heavenly from Master Thai (c99 x Romulan) and one Very Berry Surprise x Bubblegum.







One of the SOL mix plants will be re-veg'd for sure. The resin output on it is very nice and the odor is incredible. It's like a mix of blueberry and bad cheese, super pungent and strong enough that I am unable to leave her outside the cab for more than a few minutes without the smell travelling upstairs in a big way. It has started to purple from the top down as well in the past few days at a fairly quick rate. I am very excited to see the end results.


^ Here she is in the bottom left ^



A few greasy closeups, the popcorn on this girl is coming along nicely, and has started to really fill out since my last pruning.

Next up is the Heavenly from Master Thai. I germ'd all 10/10 but had one die early on. I had a bit of a PH malfunction in veg with these and lost a couple more due to it. Out of the remaining 7 I had 5 males which unfortunalty were all the heavy romulan looking ones. I kept this one of the 2 I had left and it looks and smells fantastic! The pineapple odor is amazing, with some underlying funk. Buds look kind of wispy but are the most solid in the cab underneath, which is saying something because the SOL plants are solid as hell. I would like to re-veg this as well and go another round with it now that I have learned a bit more about coco. She grows tall and very christmas tree like. The branches are very thin but tough as shit! I had 2 of them get bent right over almost to the point of breaking and once i unbent them, the stood right back up on their own after a day or so.



Here are some pics of the rest of the SOL plants, I suspect that at least one out of the 3 is a blockhead, the others being sweettooth.



To finish things off, here are some pics of everyone out for the daily feeding. The 1 gallon pots are the Heavenly and VBS x Bubblegum, the 2 gallons are the SOL mix. I did not get any closeups of the VBS X BG, I will get some in the near future.

Heavenley, SOL, SOL

Anyways, that's it for now! I will do my best to update with pics every so often and I'd like to keep this thread as an ongoing diary here in the Coco forum. Thanks for looking, have a good one!

[-VT-]

Thanks for the thread bro

[AbaZabba]

Lookin' nice and fat Nuck, got my pipe and chair for the show

rough luck on the master thai ratio but it looks like you still have a very nice gal to work with if you so please

keep up the good work man

gaius - thank you for the compliments! your threads are what put me on to the coco in the first place. Thanks for working on getting us a place to hang out, the coco forum has really started to come into it's own I think

vt - thank you for the kind words. I have always enjoyed your threads and this quote from you sums things nicely "...I love growing....it's been therapeutic for me....I'm not trying to win the 420 cup or sell seeds here...I just love this hobby....and love sharing my experience with those new like me" could'nt have said it better myself! I will always have a spot in my garden for something from SOL, they were some of the first strains I saw back when i first became aware of places like OG and have always been my favorites.

thorodee - I have always wondered wether batman had something going on in that cave or not. I mean, secluded location, high tech security, bottomless amounts of bat shit... I bet he makes Robin trim like a fiend to pay his rent

AbaZabba - thanks buddy! I was hoping to come across at least one keeper in the Heavenly and I think she fits the bill. I would say she is alot more c99 than romulan which is nice because I have'nt grown or smoked alot of the more 'psychedlic' sativas. I can't wait for the smoke!

Thank you guys for stopping by, the next post will have some new pics from last night

ok, here are some close ups of everyone from day 42 of flower.

1st up, Master Thai's Heavenly. Smelling awesome and starting to put on the last of her weight. I will be cutting her down around day 50-51 I think.







Next up is one of the SOL mix plants. I am fairly certain this is the lone Blockhead. The leaves and the purple coloring that is coming out remind me of alot of the Blockheads I have seen online. The smell is BAD, very unusual. It almost stings my nose, I think a room full of these would be overpowering on the nose. Only a few pics as a couple I took did not turn out well.



Here's my favorite, This is the second SOL mix lady. Smells very blueberry/cheese'eeee. Awesome resin output and very dense flowers. I will be doing everything in my power to keep this one around! We'll start out with a few attempts at some closeups..









Next we have the Very Berry Surprise x Bubblegum from Brownpants. This plant smells very spicy and sweet with a very faint bubblegum undertone. She looks like she will go for 63 days at least, her flowers look like they are still in the process of filling out.

whoops, too many pics in the last post, guess I will have to finish up here

Finally, the third of the SOL mix. If I had to put my finger on it, I would say she's a more grapefruit dominant Sweettooth. She has been hard to feed and has suffered a little. She is doing much better now and has a very sweet fruity smell to her. Calyx to Leaf ratio kind of sucks, but the bud density is awesome and she is super greasy. I was careless while working with her last night and my arm hair got thoroughly gummed up.
