hi zby67, the fans are working great, just used one of many chargers for mobile phones i found and the fans were from ebay, 3£ and are silent, there is a lot of threads how to make a dyi carbon filter so i followed one of them.
Soil is actually organic, i am amending with plant extracts and teas, the mix is compost, perlite, ewc and some more stuff, i am using living mulch as well and all is good, soon there will be abundance of a great medicine to smoke i hope. Thanks for watching and tomorrow new photos coming.

Living mulch sounds interesting ill look into it. can't wait for more pictures! i plan to start my own grow so i figured i would ask ya what you use. thank you for for you reply and keep up the good work with your grow!

new progress

new progress

Hi fellow gardeners and pot lovers, today i am gonna post some photos i took yesterday. The reason i snapped those was to show you how the plants are starting to yellow, mainly the lower fan leaves but overall i was a little bit scared two days back.
Not sure if the cold temperatures stressed them like this or the reason was that they were starving, but they got some extract i made last week and i have already prepared another one, mix of fruit and unrefined sugar and actually the plants now seem much better.
Anyway here we go, first the yellowing:

Hello all, i took some pictures today one hour after the lights came on, high humidity is because of new seedlings i put in the closet.

Beta buds 3 different views



Alpha



still yellowing fan leaves, but otherwise it seems they are budding nicely, very intense fruity lemony/citric smell when i rub the stems... according to one grow log i found about them, they should finish around 8 weeks, so half way there already... got a magnifying glass, gotta try to make some photos when the fan is not blowing... Have a good time everybody, :thank you: for watching

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing.

At first I kinda lol'ed at "orange skin ash", then I Googled it up...it is a big K source.
Orange skin (ash) - 2.9 27

Good luck,

Thank you Javadog, you are right about that, it is great when you buy an orange and first you can eat the fruit, then you can let the skin dry on a heating perfuming your home and then just burn it to feed it to the plants in the flower. Thanks for watching, i will keep you updated

Beta is yellowing faster than Alpha, the hair are getting brown faster so she will be the first to die I believe. Will start sorting the drying box for the ladies as their time is coming up soon, thanks for watching everyone and enjoy the weekend!:tiphat:

52 days flowering

Hi all, getting to the finish line, thinking about degrading one more hour of light for the last week of their life. I will give them last aerated compost tea tomorrow as well and will evaluate the precise chop time at day 60 of flower. The hair are getting more brown each day but the trichomes are still clear/milky. Anyway here are the photos:

Help with chop time?

Help with chop time?

Beta




So there is not much info about this strain not even on MNS forums, only report was saying they finish around 8 weeks under led lights, i was thinking to leave the harvesting for my day off in one week on day 60. My thing is i do not really want much CBG and the sleeping effect so i am not waiting for much amber but maybe when 10% of the trichomes turn to amber would be the best time? One factor is the low night temperatures that maybe slowed the flowering. Anyway any help or advice would be appreciated. Gonna read what DJ Short has to say about harvesting time and start making a little drying chamber:dance013:
Bye everyone and new photos coming before the harvest.
