Thanks. Lesson learned is never give up on the plants, even the midgets and misfits.

Edit: Tending to the plants in the little tent today, I found this guy on the floor. Perfect camo, and usually when I see them on the cotton next door they are brown. So I sprayed tweetmint and Purecrop1 on both tents, a little on my new buddy (he is in a jar now for observation), and we'll see. These plants were outside for month.

Edit: He died. Dead dead dead.

I'm also gonna spray the ones that are outside now (run 2).

Edit: Chased off some little white flying bugs.

So the big tent is entering week 6 of flowering. Things are kind boring in there. I got a dehumidifier for the room, in an attempt to keep the VPD in line for flower. Some Agsil 16H showed up, and I made a solution with that, some microbes, coconut, big 6, and top watered it in.

Pistils recovered here. AK47 is a very stout, just like it's namesake.

Serious Kush also, but hard to see Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00562.JPG Views:	6 Size:	77.5 KB ID:	17853087 Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00562.JPG Views:	6 Size:	77.5 KB ID:	17853087

Don't worry about the dawg hair, I'm not.

The little tent is making flowers, except the HOG. That plant breaks stems when you look at it crosswise, isn't flowering, and I may take it outside and bring in the Sundae Stallion misfit. It is out under the sun flowering . HOG was a freebie, and I may know why.

HOG is homeless, outside with run #2. In it's place is sorry little SS, making buds. SS is in a 7 gallon bag, which I like lifting a lot better than a 10 gal bag.

The time they spent out in the sun did them a lot of good. No leaf color issues anymore. The SS and G x D x OPG autoflowered while outside. The daylight was around 14hrs and increasing.

Big tent. Week 6 of flower. leaves yellowing, but what can be done? I did top water in a tea of alfalfa, kelp, some builda bloom and agsil 16H. I took out the top net because it wasn't doing any good, and would be a hassle when harvest time comes.

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00576.JPG Views:	0 Size:	137.6 KB ID:	17855579

Little tent. These misfits and midgets better be worth the effort. There is a Serious Kush in there (front right) with completely different structure than the one on the big tent (front left). The "?" is the star of the show at the right rear, but G x D x OPG (left rear) is trying too. Screw the net. I have some bamboo sticks if needed. The net makes tending the plants too hard, and they can't be taken out of the tent to tend on the table..

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00576.JPG Views:	0 Size:	137.6 KB ID:	17855579 The time in the sun did these plants some real good. Let them run wild.

Thanks. I am amazed and attribute any success to living soil, which I keep tinkering with. I sprayed a foliar fert and burned the pistils, so now the problem is - how will I know when to kick them out of the tent? I figure at least until the end of the month at 8 weeks.

The Serious Kush is making the best frost, and smell.

Followed by the Runtz rabbit.

AK47 might as well be hemp from the looks.

So this first run has two 4 x 4 tents full. The first 4 plants in the "big tent" have yellowed the leafs and nitrogen isn't helping. I have stopped the water to the SWICK beds this morning. They have a few days to finish up, but it is only day 50. I need the tent space for the second run.

Big tent, yellowing leafs, and the water pump has been turned off.

The little tent has been flowering all month, plus the time the two in back autoflowered outside'. Midgets and misfits are doing OK, IMO.

I need to consolidate these two tents into one tent going 12/12. The easiest way is to kick out 4 plants, but which ones?

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00621.JPG Views:	2 Size:	80.8 KB ID:	17862848 The little tent on the left. Big tent on the right, has the automatic watering SIP tubs.

That Runtz in the back left of the big tent is too good to kill early. I am going to put it in the front left spot of the little tent to finish. The plant I am kicking out isn't worth the precious space.



These two Serious AK47 are very similar, like clones. They have been great plants, and there is another one coming in round two that should be healthier. They get chopped. I hate that these don't get 2-3 more weeks. I messed them up with a foliar spray

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00624.JPG Views:	2 Size:	142.7 KB ID:	17862850



This is the midget Serious Kush and the Serious Kush Bush. The midget will finish, the Bush gets the axe.

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00624.JPG Views:	2 Size:	142.7 KB ID:	17862850 Midget is big now (front right small tent). Being outside gave it wings.
Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00623.JPG Views:	2 Size:	141.2 KB ID:	17862851 Serious Bush never spread her wings, but made some killer buds in a nice little scrog fashion. It also had foliar spray damage.


Leasson learned, no more nute foliar spray. The yellowing of the leafs continued, even after the grievous foliar spray the yellowing prompted. The spray damage was the pistils turned brown, which someone here said was a Mn overdose. The smell and stickyness are still pretty good, and time would make them better. The Runtz is still really good, and will get more time.


Lesson learned, no more elastic nets. I removed the top one a while ago anticipating what a POS it would be. The lower one was first dealt with by cutting it in quarters, so the plants are free to remove. I'll pick the pieces out carefully on the operating table I do want a scrog though, so that is something I need to do.

Yesterday the 3 condemmnd plants got the chop. I couldn't finish the Runtz early like those 3, so it has a spot with the midgets and misfits in the big tent. The hapless Sundae Stallion went to a buddy, who will probably fuck it up despite my best efforts to get him right.

Big tent is full and flowering with the remnants of the run:

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00633.JPG Views:	6 Size:	260.6 KB ID:	17864307 Bottom left - Runtz, Bottom right - serious Kush, Top left - G x D x OPG, Top right - "?",

Chopped were the two AK47 and the Serious Kush (bush):

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00625.JPG Views:	0 Size:	243.2 KB ID:	17864372 Serious Kush left, AK47 plants closest. Note the roots grown through the 10 gal bags.

The three plants that got chopped each made some nice colos, even though the trics are not fully developed. They are hanging to dry. Each plant on a different rack:

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00633.JPG Views:	6 Size:	260.6 KB ID:	17864307

The ones that were too small to hang are drying separately. I gave away the stuff I didn't feel like trimming to the guy who took the plants:

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00633.JPG Views:	6 Size:	260.6 KB ID:	17864307 The top right rack, and the two right hand trays are the fat leaf AK, the tray on the left is the other AK. What lrf came off Serious Kush is above.

I figure Runtz has until the end of the month, the other 3 to the end of June. The attached pic (link below) is why I had to rush these out of the tent. Two of those are starting to flower, and it is a huge heat wave outside.

Let's see how some of the loose larf looks under the cheap scope:

Serious Kush: Click image for larger version  Name:	Snapshot@2021_0524_123943.jpg Views:	15 Size:	135.8 KB ID:	17864391

And a bud of the Runtz broke off while moving them, here it is:

A few more daze left I reckon.

The Runtz rabbit is still under the lights, and the top buds are darkening the trics. I need not chop that plant to early, because I just ground a nug from that bud that broke off, and found this... The plant may have hermed from the stress. Runtz S2s!

Edit 5/28: I broke up the rest of that bud and found another seed. I sure hope those these are not the only 2 seeds there are!

BTW, the dope gets a good high even though it has no cure. Weak orange smell behind the chlorophyll.

Click image for larger version  Name:	Snapshot@2021_0526_094350.jpg Views:	9 Size:	36.7 KB ID:	17865714 Immature seed, probably not viable.

Click image for larger version  Name:	Snapshot@2021_0528_175953.jpg Views:	2 Size:	38.8 KB ID:	17867492 This is the one I found 5/28.

Never know, they may pop. My fingers are crossed for seeds, and the plant isn't getting pulled early.

Trimmed and jarred the plants that were pulled early. Results aren't too bad, considering. Dried (too dry I think) and trimmed, and in the jars to cure. This stuff isn't very hard / dense, so it took a lot of jars.

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00651.JPG Views:	0 Size:	326.0 KB ID:	17868276
Dried weights...
AK47: 154 gr
AK47#2: 160 gr These AK47s leave a smell on my fingers that smells like PVC glue.
SK: 134 gr, Edit 146 gr.

Total so far is 10 grams under a pound, and I sampled that much already. That is about 400 gr / m2 and these were pulled early.

edit: I found the tray with 12gr of SK larf I had forgotten, so it's over a pound now from the 3 plants.

I trimmed the SK last, and found this on the table. I believe it will pop.

How about the misfits and midgets? They still have a month to go, and are packing on the weight nicely. The Runtz rabbit is in there with them, trics still not showing it is ready. I anticipate more selfie seeds from her.

Runtz front left, Serious Kush front right, G x D x OPG left rear, and I wish I knew what the right rear is, but I call it "?". The Runtz pulls soon, the others have another month.

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00653.JPG Views:	7 Size:	255.5 KB ID:	17868513 Gonna need more jars.

The trics on the upper buds the Runtz rabbit has made are getting dark. I took the plant out intending to chop, but after cutting off some of the bottom shoots, I felt like I was too early on them. Then something Dubi wrote came to mind, about only taking what is ready and leaving the rest, and I started from the top with the cutting. The bigger top buds are now hanging, and the plant still has plenty of time to do something with the lower buds. I want viable seeds from this one.

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00661.JPG Views:	0 Size:	479.5 KB ID:	17870656 Buds looking ready to my eye

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00662.JPG Views:	0 Size:	258.7 KB ID:	17870659 The part I pulled. Edit: dry weight of that partial pull is 190 gr.

Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00662.JPG Views:	0 Size:	258.7 KB ID:	17870659 The rest. Now Runtz rabbit IS the runt of the tent. The tent has at least one month more flower time.

The big tent keeps on building. This is the boringest part of all of this... And the rabbit is still not darkening the buds I left on.

Serious Kush. That spec of white is perlite that got everywhere when I lifted the rabbit's bag out of it's tub, and the roots that go through the bag attach to the wick. That stuff gets everywhere, especially on neighboring flowers.

I am getting the two plants I gave away back. Dude is selling his house and will be showing it. The most promising plant will take the rabbit's spot. The other will have to tough it out under the sun.
