Cakes n Cream Clones

This is week 3. I propogated these clones using rockwool and Heavy 16 and following the feed chart's seed/cutting section. I planted these clones on June 10th. I'm trying to fit two plants in my tent that is just slightly under 3x3. I'm going to attempt to Mainline one of them and just top and scrog the other like I have in the past. I'm using Fox Farms brand 70/30 coco for this grow. I'm still using the seed/clone feed schedule, last week I switched to week 1 and had some leaf curl and very slight yellowing so I reverted back to seed/clone feed. I'll switch to week 1 feeding later this week. It's been pretty warm and is only going to get warmer in the coming months hopefully this doesn't become TOO much of a problem. I'm going to attempt to veg these plants for only 30 days for a quick turn around to beat the hottest months and because the stretch on my last grow got a little out of hand and plants were super close to the lights. Wish me luck.

It seems to be an unfortunate theme that I plant two plants and end up culling one. I snapped both branches off my other plant while trying to train it. This plant has been growing fast and vigorously. Unfortunately I kind of skimped on the training and let it get away from me. I threw up the scrog net to help me get a lil bit of a better handle on this plant to try to make a flat canopy. On my last grow height was a major issue so I'm only going to veg this plant for another week or 2. It really been warming up here, but luckily things have been good thus far. I'm worried about the heat next month and beyond. ----------Update---------- Day after original post- I decided to tie the plant down with some wire. I feel like the addition of Silica really helped me to be able to shape this plant without it breaking. I added before and after photos.

I got a great price on Roots Excelurator Gold it might be overkill, but I threw it in the mix for the hell of it. It's been a month and I plan on flipping in a few days. I'm going for a quick turn around I'm wanting to see how much this cultivar stretches so I know what to expect next time, I maxed out on height last grow and I know it hurt my yields.

I flipped a few days ago and the weather has really been warming up and along with the heat comes the humidity. I've been running a dehumidifier about 8 hours a day during some of the most humid parts of the day and hopefully that will be enough. I defoliated a bit but kept some lower growth to have a bit of larf to make some bubble. I threw up a scrog with 6 inch holes for support and to space out the mains/tops a bit more. Hopefully all continues to go well.

This plant is really starting to hit its stretch phase, I notice a difference daily. I defoliated a little bit, mostly on the interior of the plant to provide for some better airflow. Humidity and Temps could definitely be better but unfortunately there isn't a whole lot I can do and I gotta work with what I got.

I think I've already said this a few times, but holy crap am I glad I flipped when I did. This plant is growing over an inch per day and has stretched over a foot this week, hopefully it finishes up its stretch otherwise I'm going to have to start getting creative with keeping this plant away from the lights. Ive been continuing with the Heavy 16 feed schedule and have started adding Mammoth P in the mix. Flowers are starting to form and pistil are showing.

I added Tribus microbes and Power SI bloom. I picked up an amino acid product by House and Garden that I will use sparingly or switch between the two since it also contains Silica. It seems like this plant is finally coming towards the end of its stretch phase and buds are showing a few trichs and stacking a little bit. The main colas were getting really close to the lights so I decided to stake the main colas slightly outwards to prevent them from getting to close. An added benefit of the stakes is that the bottom buds are now getting alot more light and have also stretched a bit. I've used a trellis net in the past and now prefer the stakes as I feel like they provide a bit more control. Unfortunately I cant afford to run an AC otherwise I definitely would. Hopefully all continues to go well.

I think this plant has finished stretching. I'm continuing with the heavy 16 feed schedule and a few additives. I've been switching between Power SI Bloom and Amino drench. I'm starting to see buds start to swell and more trichs forming. Hopefully things continue to go well.

Things have been going pretty well, but these buds have not been stacking up as well as I'd like them to. I'm finishing up week 6 today and will repeat the same feed schedule this coming week, by my estimation this plant will go about a week longer than its estimated "flowering time". I added Rock Resinator into the mix to try to bulk up these nugs a bit more. I'm more or less following the Green Coast "Cadillac Special Sauce" recipe moving forward for the rest of this grow unless I start seeing signs of over feeding. Only a few weeks left. Wish me luck.

Last week I had said I wanted to try something new and all it did was burn the fuck out of my plant. I shouldn't have fucked with things that were already working well. Some lessons you learn the hard way. I noticed that I burned my plant about 2 days in and quickly flushed pretty heavily. Some foliage is pretty burnt but luckily it didnt burn the buds and they actually look pretty good. I'm pretty paranoid about burning the buds and over feeding due to what happened, I have since started using half the reccomended dose of Bud A and Bud B and half the dose of Fire followed by 2 ml of Rock resinator (it has a lower npk). Temps have been running pretty high, I think I might be able to safely stop running my Dehumidifier, which is raising the temps. Its looking like the yield on this girl is going to be quite a bit lower than I expected, unless the buds really start stacking up in these next couple weeks. I got about two weeks left. Hopefully things run a bit more smoothly.

I'm feeding week 8 nutes this week. It's been really hot and I'm glad things are starting to wrap up. I'm going to look into some automated controls soon, I'm tired of checking temps and humidity on my phone and running to adjust it. Buds are foxtailing a bit due to the heat and I'm thinking the heat along with the nute burn a few weeks ago is definitely going to hurt my yield, the buds aren't as dense as Id like to see them. As I'm reaching the end I'm using less of the basic two part nute for fear of burning my plants again. I have a week left followed by the flush. I know people say flushing is "bro science" and I have to partially agree. I've met the owner of the nute line many times and he encourages it and also gave me a few tips that arent on the feed schedule. Pistil haven't changed color much, but im starting to see a lot of cloudy trichs and I feel like the advertised flowering time should be pretty accurate. Only a couple more weeks

This will be the last post before harvest. I started flushing yesterday, The temps have been really hot and it shows with the foxtailing/structure of these buds. The buds are looking nice and frosty but oddly shaped due to the heat and proximity to the light. The further away from the light the better the buds look and I ran out of height a couple weeks ago. The trichomes are looking mostly cloudy but due to the new bracts popping out because of the foxtailing its not completely cloudy and pistil are still white on some parts. I'm going to chop in 6 days regardless. Hopefully these last few days go well and I'll end up with some decent smoke.

Had some significant environmental problems, but was able to pull this off. I'm looking forward to the dry, cure and enjoying the finished product.
