Mmmmmm, Malaysaia sound lovely Bro. Good you have Muddy on hand to show you around!
Aus any time mate!

I have the tent up again, cleaned it and reinforced the roof.
3 seedlings have popped and it's day 1 with Another Cookie and Lime, but I have also got a Night Queen going as well.

Got one Skyline up over them...... quite high..... how high would you have them..... I plan to drop the light and give them all one panel each in a few days once they get more established, but as 2 are Indicas, I wanna get as much growth as poss during veg.

I figure the white light of the Skyline is better in veg compared to the Photons (reminds me of the kind of light MH produces).

Enjoy your break mate, but let me know about the heights if you get time!

I put on 5kg in 10 days. Food so good and friendly people.
They love to party.
Keep skyline 2ft in veg. In bloom 12 to 18in. I just let plants grow up to light.
They work in veg and bloom. I just love them. I think is the best light muddy got.

cheers Bro, good to hear you're having a good one! Those prawns.......... no wonder you're putting on weight!

I just lowered the lights to 2ft..... great lights and easy to move them as well, I'll put up a post of the new grow and my improved hanging options!

Well, that's that, the grow is over and I think the timing was perfect, I've completed manicuring the Cookie and the Blueberry and they were sticky sticky sticky. Ithen got on with the Lime, and even though I thought she'd have a few more weeks in her, she was looking pretty much done, with mostly nice fat resinous buds...... they smell very much like Think Different at the moment.

The car stinks.... I smoke and drive in it most days with no problem..... but that fresh bud smell is way too pungent. I have 2 Magic Trees in the boot and one in the car, and even then all I can smell is fine Dutch terpenes.

You know me, I'm such a lazy sod, at best I was only trimming for 3-4 hours a night..... I chopped them all down (and stuffed them in boxes) on day 85.... after 1 week in those boxes, I still had to do the Lime, and she was the biggest...... the boxes did the job though! This is what I to deal with by day 92.......

I was getting really bogged down until I cleaned my trimmers with some WD40..... then I found it a lot easier. The leaves had all wilted and stick to the buds so it was hard work manicuring. This is some of the Lime just trimmed on day 92, and she was looking sweet....

DL trimmed.JPG


I finished bagging the last lot on day 98, and surprisingly only lost about a quarter of an ounce to mould ;)

The buds are now jarred at 62% RH using Bovedas, and the final weights are in.

Blackberry Kush gave a disappointing 3.92oz. The buds look lovely, a deep purple colour and were very sticky..... she was quite tall, but there was just not enough bud sites on her..... I suspect that's an Indica thing? I'm about to grow an Auto Night Queen, another Indica, which I have been told doesn't get very big either. I'm growing her because I was also told she is very very potent indeed...... we shall see!

The Cookie delivered 5.85 ounces. I am looking forward to smoking her, the buds look and smell fantastic, Both the Cookie and the Blackberry could have done with 1-2 more weeks.

I pulled 11.29 oz from the Lime. I am surprised at the quality and quantity of the final outcome, I was expecting far worse in terms of weight and actual bud quality, but there's stacks of good solid sticky bud there. I still think she had a good few more weeks in her, I can't bear to think how much more she would have given me if she had grow to full potential.... I can only try again!

In total then,,,,,,, 3.92 + 5.85 + 11.29 = 21.06 ounces..... I'm well pleased! :grin:

The cupboard is looking great.... 7 strains to choose from!

Colorado Cookie
Daiquiri Lime
Blackberry Kush
Auto Ultimate
Think Different
Blue Automazar
Northern Hog
- plus assorted bits of bubblehash and scissorhash

I have another Lime and Cookie on the go, plus an Auto Night Queen.... this time with plenty of lighting options, starting with 2x Skyline 400's to go with my 2x Photo 126's and the Helios 6!!!

Cheers Bro, the Cookie and BBK were just a week off anyway, and the Lime was always destined to be a monster. :grin:

Had a test smoke of 9 day cured (after 7 days drying) Cookie and BBK..... both very very nice smokes.... the BBK was so smelly and a real caner.... the Cookie was very tasty and I found myself staring into the distance a few times after having one. A full month of curing will really develop those flavours.

The BBK needed a higher EC throughout the grow, so I'll probably give the new grow's Indica - the Night Queen - a higher EC than the more sativa dominant Cookie and Lime.

I'll do a test smoke of the Lime tomorrow!

I have about 4 ounces of AutoUltimate left, along with maybe 2oz of Think Different and a small jar of Blue Automazar....
All for the private stash :grin::::

I've been smoking mainly Daiquiri Lime this week.... there's loads of it, and 3 weeks in Bovedas has tempted me to crack on with the Lime as the regular smoke and keep the others for my own pleasure.

The moment I open the Lime jars, I get an intense zingy lime hit..... the ground gear smells fantastic, sharp citrussy, sherbet smells along with an underlying sour petrol like tang..... almost medicinal. The smoke is spot on, nice and strong, good for day or night and gets you well stoned.

The Cookie however is something else..... opening the jars gives you a complex hit of heavy fruit and a whiff of skunk. When ground, those aromas intensify and deep in there you can really smell the old fashioned skunk that I remember from Amsterdam coffee shops back in the 80's. The smoke is really strong, and you can actually smell biscuit in the air. This is my new favourite smoke :cool:

I haven't touched the Blackberry Kush since the test smoke.... there's not much and I wanna wait the full 4 weeks, then use it sparingly....

Lastly I dunno if it's cos I pulled them down earlier than I would normally have or what, but this harvest is the best in therms of bud hardness, these 3 strains gave me the most dense sticky nugs that I have ever grown!!!

They all went further than their advertised times of 70-77 days, but I usually go to day 90-100 for the big ones. Maybe the buds get looser the longer you go?
