I've been remiss is keeping this diary up-to-date but things are going well with this lady. She's got the tent all to herself now and has JUST gone into flower so I'm pretty excited. It was difficult (nay - it was IMPOSSIBLE) to LST my Gorilla Glue and my OG Kush enough when they were both in the tent so I think this is going to be great. Frankly, growing in DWC, I'd rather LST the hell out of the plant rather than SCROG as I had done with GG and OG... scrogging made it impossible to turn the plant around to gain good access to the whole thing so my lollipopping of OG was a miserable failure and I had LOTS of larf to put into the bin when I harvested her (haven't made the harvest report yet as I forgot to take any photos - so don't go looking for it right now - I'll take photos of the dried harvest).
Now I need to go take pics of THIS lady! Life has been a bit hectic recently... sigh....
Haha, so now you are doing it my way. I asked you about it because I do find it easier to reason about, and from everyone I talked to, they did the opposite like you. Anyway, happy to help :)
@GrowingGrannie, I would bet it's fair to say most people do it the way you WERE doing it before, because now if you go to your page that lists all your diaries, it shows it as "2 weeks", because the site was presumably designed with the intention to add a week when the week is finished/ready.
Of course, we can do what we want, but there is that little off-by-one display error in the user interface. Then again, people should uhh...actually read the diary and not just look at a thumbnail with an approximate age on it...
I find this site messing with my head all the time. Now if your seed sprouts overnight, that is 1 day until you write week 1, you have a 13-day difference from what this site lists your diary's age as. Huh. ๐ฎ
@@resimax, yeah - when you asked that question, it made me stop and think! And it really WAS kind of stupid to write a diary at the END of the week.. LOL! That's one of the things I love about questions... makes you THINK!! :-D
@SwissKush, thanks my friend! I haven't updated her for a couple of weeks but JUST now did so... she's grown exponentially! I think this is going to be a GREAT harvest...
Oof. As a fellow sufferer of chronic back pain (bulging discs) I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Hope you feel better and recover quickly! Grow looks great regardless!
@Enemy61390, btw... thought a good manipulation would help but my osteopath couldn't even do a MINIMAL manipulation... far too much pain... so now I'm on a whole bunch of steroids, anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants and things are starting to turn around... THANK GOD! Also adding a bit of my own Pink Kush 30:1 CBD... :-D
@Enemy61390, I herniated a disc in my lower back TWICE in two days back in 1995... it will forever plague me, I know - but I've also gotten to the point where I know exactly what to do if something goes awry... but in this case, the problem/trigger was actually my mattress and I've spent a month and a half not having anything decent to sleep on so the problems just got worse and worse every day.... Finally have a new mattress that's going to be good but I'm having to see an osteopath next week to get things back in place.... Oh well, it is what it is....
@Enemy61390, oh you sadistic creature, you! LMAO!!!! Yeah - getting some smell (FINALLY) but it's real mild and NOT burnt rubber... but I couldn't tell you what it is she smells like... I'll try to get some friends to give me THEIR take on it - JUST for you! Funny fellow!!
@Themythicalchristine, thank you so much! I just kind of write a stream of consciousness when I do my diary - it helps ME much better when I go back to review what's gone right, gone wrong - much better than dry statistics! It's not everyone's cup of tea, not everyone's style, but it works for me! Good luck with all YOUR grows!
@Enemy61390, thanks! Yeah, as I just told @SwissKush, I've spent some time this morning doing something I've never had to do before in a grow - figure out how to support the buds so they don't fall over which some of them had started to do! Kind of makes me giggle!
@SwissKush, thank you my friend!! Yeah - I just spent some time this morning doing something I've really never had to do before - rigging up some SUPPORT for the buds! So many are getting so heavy they were dropping away from the light. Nice problem to have, though! I keep checking the trichs and they keep telling me "two more weeks, hon... leave me alone for two more weeks!" - but you're right... I don't think I'm going to want to to go past that....
@Raizen, thank you my friend! I found it MUCH easier to do rather than the SCROG which I tried for the first time with my Gorilla Glue and OG Kush.. don't think I'll ever try scrogging again... K.I.S.S!
@kohlrabi, Yeah - my first experience with it... and it was really weird how it SORT OF grew but then just stopped... pffffttttt... don't have time to waste on hopeless causes! :-D Onward and upward!
Wow! What a stretch! Looks like she's got plenty of room to fill in with buds! Hope she does. Looking great! Random question, was this meph genetics? Only breeder I'm fairly familiar with the catalogue of and I know they have F5 CDLC but reports show terps of burnt rubber and that does not sound appealing to me ๐
@GrowingGrannie, ๐๐ My strawberry gorilla glue smelled like an onion! I hate onions! Trimming that beast was like the 6th circle of hell for me lol. I ended up giving it all away. Everyone said it was good but I just could not get myself past the smell ๐ .
@GrowingGrannie, I've noticed sometimes the scent doesn't come until they pack on a little bud mass on certain strains. My bruce banner was like that. Not a smell out of her until like the 4th-5th week of flower. She looks good though! I just hope you don't get the burnt rubber smell, that is, unless that's what your after ๐. Looks like she'll be a solid producer regardless, keep it up!
@Tweezer, thanks! Working hard at it! I had scrogged another DWC grow and it was almost impossible for me to attend to the plant properly - at least doing it with LST allows me to turn the bucket around to get at the entire undergrowth! :-D
Thanks for spreading the message about not touching the roots! So many people do not listen when I tell them "dont look at the roots, it disturbs the ecosystem, introduces pathogens"! Hopefully they will see this video and realize the benefits of root protection! Excited for the effects/final weight, I think this is your largest plant yet!! ๐๐๐
