Why twice-baked? Because I'm going to bake them til they're done, then use them to bake myself :P
Smooth sailing this week. Most of the trichomes are still clear but many are starting to turn milky. I imagine there will be at least 1 to 2 weeks left of flowering on these girls.
Got my wife some non-stick Fiskars like mine, she's gonna help me harvest when it's time!
I just keep doing the same thing every day, takes me about 20 minutes to water them and check them over. So about 2.5 hours per week spent tending to them!
@Jwjoh, looking at the pistils I don't think they will stop anytime soon. I have a feeling it will be well worth the wait! They are looking like straight Durban Poison.
@Wicked_Stix, yes 6 weeks in and still stacking calyxes! The 8BK was done filling out and ready for harvest around this time. I can really see the difference that genetics can make in growth patterns, smells, even the look of the pistils coming out of the GSC are different than 8BK.
@Jwjoh, im going to do my next grow in either coco or soil, might use biobizz light mix. definitely within the next few months i want to learn how to make one of these buckets! so cool man :)
@JuicyFruit, once the taproot reaches the water shelf down by the nozzle they will start to grow faster, and then once I put them in the grow tent with the REAL light, they will really take off!
@ILoVethisPlanT, No, it's called Low Stress Training (LST) which opens up multiple colas to the light. I continue to do this even after they are in the tent. It provides similar effect to ScrOG without the net. Right now, I have the net in place in the tent mostly for structural support or the colas would fall over. LST does not stress the plant nor stunt its growth. I love LST, it's my favourite training method.
Also I have a wife and kids, plus a full time job to support them and my in-laws. Each plant gives me 10 to 15 minutes per day of alone time and quiet. That's why I try to keep growing 4 at a time even if I'm growing 2 under a desk lamp. Then I have about 1 hour per day to myself, and that's all I get.
Google Translate:
No, si chiama Low Stress Training (LST) che apre più cime alla luce. Continuo a farlo anche dopo che sono nella tenda. Fornisce un effetto simile a ScrOG senza rete. In questo momento, ho la rete installata nella tenda principalmente per supporto strutturale o le cime cadono. LST non sollecita la pianta né ne rallenta la crescita. Adoro LST, è il mio metodo di allenamento preferito.
Inoltre ho moglie e figli, oltre a un lavoro a tempo pieno per sostenere loro e i miei suoceri. Ogni pianta mi dà da 10 a 15 minuti al giorno da sola e tranquilla. Ecco perché provo a continuare a crescere 4 alla volta anche se sto crescendo 2 sotto una lampada da scrivania. Quindi ho circa 1 ora al giorno per me, e questo è tutto ciò che ottengo.
@ILoVethisPlanT, they grew under a 13 watt LED desk lamp for the first 5 or 6 weeks of veg because I only have one tent and had another pair flowering in it at the time I started these. I can only legally grow 4 at a time, I only have 1 grow tent that's 60cm x 60cm. So at all times I have 2 flowering in the tent, and 2 vegetating under the desk lamp waiting for the tent to be empty.
Google Translate:
sono cresciuti sotto una lampada da scrivania a LED da 13 watt per le prime 5 o 6 settimane di vegetazione perché avevo solo una tenda e ne avevo un'altra coppia in fiore al momento in cui le ho avviate. Posso crescere legalmente solo 4 alla volta, ho solo 1 tenda da coltivazione che misura 60 cm x 60 cm. Quindi in ogni momento ho 2 fioriture nella tenda e 2 vegetazioni sotto la lampada da scrivania in attesa che la tenda sia vuota.
