Too Blue

And we're off; a redesigned cab, cannibalised lights and a 3D printed extract system. Lets see how it goes. Black one is off to a bit of a longer stretch at the moment, but the brown potted one seems to have better leaf development. Will see if they catch each other up.

Interesting to see how the two plants are starting their lives differently. I hope the tall one calms down and starts to fan out. Nice growth overnight into day 11! Both starting to bush out towards the end of the week which is good.

I'm pretty sure I can see some hairs forming, which is a bit insane. I'm all for a quick flower, but at this rate there will be nothing for it to flower on with! Hoping they'll stretch & expand a bit more before they start fully flowering... Bit annoyed as i think Ive missed my opportunity to start LST, the stems are surprisingly thick already and I don't want to risk breaking. Time will tell if this was a bad decision or not...

Made the decision that I would only end up hating myself if i didnt do some training. Stems were pleasantly pliable so managed to get them bent over without issue. Everything is very tight still so not much room to get string round. They're pretty big when I compare to previous grows, so bit nervous as to how big theyre going to get! fingers crossed its just phat buds from now on. Ive printed another set of carbon filter pieces, so will be fitting that this week to help reduce the future smell (the wife's request not mine 😒)

All seems ok so far. Trying to get those bud sites to open up and spread out, but they're both still quite bushy so difficult to get the branches out separately. Will see how much they stretch over the next few weeks.

Starting to get a bit cooler int he house at night, not quite sure just how cold but will need to keep an eye on them. The nodes are so close together I'm finding it really difficult to train them as theres not enough space to get a string round to bend them out of the way...not much I can do about that. Starting to get a bit of discolouration and mottling on the leaves, as usual i suspect this is from a lack of purified water and nutrients. Nothing too worrying yet so no action being taken. Starting to get a bit more smelly and sticky! Buds are still super close together so I'm hoping I avoid any mould.

Its all going ok I guess, still bit bummed that everything is still quite compact, I feel like if I could get everything spaced out I could get some more light in to the buds in the middle? The smell is increasing, going to need to work on my DIY filters a bit more as I wake up every morning with the dank rising up to my bedroom 😂 Still, the main colas are starting to look good and now the smaller ones are turning up and starting to fatten up.

Still going! The smaller colas are starting to turn up and looking on profile they're growing quite well considering the density. I wanted to do some defoliation but not really sure what to take and what to leaf (lol) The brown potted one's leaves are looking a bit sadder than the other one, not sure why. I wonder if the night time temps are getting a bit too cool for her? Im waiting for a new thermometer which should be able to tell me if that is the case or not.

Leaves are looking dire! I mean, looks kind of cool, just not very good in terms of what a healthy plan should look like... No idea what has made them go so badly, as I cant believe the temps are getting that low in the night. Had a close look at the trichs and they actually look pretty close to all being cloudy, I guess whatever stress she's gone through might have made her hurry up? The other one is looking pretty ok, leaves starting to yellow, but i attribute that to natural life cycle.

Considering the bad leaves, the buds are still looking good. Trichs are getting more cloudy by the day so happy days!. The healthier one is turning a bit purple as well, but as its not as drastic, it actually looks kind of cool whilst its happening.

Pretty sure they've jumped the gun a bit and are ready. Cant get a good pic of the trichromes, but they're looking like a good mix of amber and cloudy so im just going to hold out a bit longer before giving her the chop. But would rather get them down before they start to suffer...

Another grow 99% done! Different experience with a different strain. still searching for the ultimate micro strain, but this was pretty good still. The smell is quite strong, much more than the other strains I've grown before, my DIY filters weren't really up to scratch and got a lot of earache from the wife! Cant wait for them to cure so I can have a smoke, will be back for an update in a month or so.
