'Dutch Dragon' by Paradise

Hello all and welcome to Week 9 of Bloom w/ Dutchy. The Deets: The Good: -Woot! Great week. DD has gotten her last feed on Aug 1st and we're going to let her run down, turn in and taper off all her doses now (already have been). Only Humic acid, a ripening additive and a touch of PK will be used until she's ready for the chop. Looking to Monday, August 10th to do this one. -Massive final push in both trich development and bud girth. She's quite thick and reminds me of NL #1 from Grow #2. Just a ball of bud. -Turning in very nicely. Not that "special" of a show, but she is turning to autumn colors and is looking just dandy👌. By Monday I'm positive she'll look fantastic and I'll give her some final glamour shots before I knock er down. The Bad: -Nopers. The 'Meh': -Meh. High heat created some fox tails. Not a big deal. Next summer grow I will need to find a solution to permanently tackle these heat issues, however. Notes of the Week: -Space Cookies will be coming down this Saturday, August 8th. Prepped the dry tent and we're ready to go. DD will come shortly after and GDPB and PSK will be last (according to trich pictures and color). -Fox tailing did occur on all! girls due to very high, consistent heat in my area. I'm not upset at all. Nature is nature and the girls are just fine despite a couple tails here and there. Besides being less aesthetically pleasing, there's nothing wrong with them at all. -I was going to go out and buy another 2x2x3 propagation tent but was thankfully stopped by someone who gave me a better idea. Why not just buy another 4x4x6... I will be expanding soon here and have been weighing my options, so going with a big unit makes sense... for 40 bucks more I purchased a 4x4x6 unit with a separate 2x1 propagation chamber w/ racking and a divider wall. May not use the propagation part of the unit, but I felt it was good to have options. Maybe I want to grow some micro greens? Done! -Looking for a location as we speak, to expand my projects. I talk about it a lot, but after some very informative and positive conversations/affirmations, I'm actively contacting and looking for a location that I can exercise my ambitions/passions. It's really tough... Anywho, I have faith I'll find something, write up a contract to cover my ass, and then move on to bigger and better things. Don't know if this will be a live in situation or a proxy location. When I know this part, I can finally pull my ACMPR licence and go bigger👌 -I won't name name's, but I wanted to thank the couple fella's I've been speaking too lately (you know who you are😉). These types of dudes are the reason I'm here in the first place. They have supported me endlessly and given me ambition to move forward. I've always had a pretty low level of self-esteem, but these two gentlemen are changing that (I don't think they even know...). I'm starting to see the value in what I do and have faith in myself in what I can accomplish, if I want it. As long as I keep my humility, stay humble and withhold expectations, I feel great things are on the horizon. -**I have a ramble/story posted in my SC entry this week if you're interested. Pertains to giving advice and/or taking advice.** Thanks so much for stopping by all you happy growers. I trust everything is well with you and I hope you have a great week with your projects. I'll get to your updates very soon if I haven't already! Busy week again and trying to catch up😉. Cheers and catch you on the flip side✊👋
