Cheers Belfiore mate, we are having a bit of a warm spell at the moment. I came home the other day to this.....
Yep 42.3°C ambient temps and 40.2°C inside the tent. The A/C unit was pissing water all over the floor and plug socket.
I ventured out, under the house (watching out for spiders, snakes and goannas) where the condenser unit is, and found next to it, a pipe with some shit hanging out of it. A good poke with a stick and the remains of god knows what fell out along with some putrid water, and hey presto!
Managed to avoid having an Aircon engineer nosing around my nearly complete grow! I would have had to dismantle the lot!
This grow has been a challenge trying to keep the temps in check, I'm surprised I have anything to show you......
Its day 81 with the Glueberry 1 at the back with Glueberry 2 on the right and the Cinderella Jack on the left.
The Cindy Jack is an embarrassment really, she just limped across the finish line. I started flushing her today, and really don't expect much more than 1-2 ounces of shitty weed. I'm sure Mrs Tee won't mind it though
I've also started flushing the Glueberry 2. She's ready!
Lots of thick chunky colas....
I had a peek using a microscope and the trichomes are all milky. I am looking forward to smoking some of this bud in a month or so!
I am worried about mould.... I always seem to get a little bit especially if I flush for too long, so I'm aiming for 2-3 days flush and then I'm gonna trim all her leaves off while she's in the pot, before cutting her down.
Meanwhile the XXL sized Glueberry 1 is still packing it on.....
The main cola is coming on very nicely...
I think she has a good 3 weeks left in her. She's on an EC 1.0 feed with Top Shooter, Bud Candy, Bud XL all in the mix, and she's drinking a good 6 - 7L a day. I've been watering just once a day, but now I have just the one plant to feed, I might go for 2-3 times a day and really give her a boost in these last few weeks.
I'm itching to plant 4 more seeds. I only have 4x 5L airpots, or I could wait till I chop down the GB2 and CJ, and then I'd have 3 20L airpots (including the one from the abandoned CJ2).
I might get on and just plant them in the 5L airpots.....
then do a transplant into 20L ones at around 3-4 weeks. Hmmmm.........
I reckon 2 more Glueberries, a Night Queen and a Pineapple Express. Mmmmmmm...........
You know what? I'm gonna get on with it right NOW! (but first I'm gonna roll another joint)
Wow!!!
I actually managed to get off my lazy arse and plant some more beans...
2x Glueberry OG and 1x Auto Night Queen all in 5L airpots with Coco
and 1x Pineapple Express in a 20L airpot with Coco.
I figured get them in ASAP, takes a few weeks off the harvest time, and I think a house inspection is due end of May.
Dutch Passion strains are nice and stable so I can be confident they can take the stress of a gentle repotting into 20L airpots at 3-4 weeks. The Pineapple Express is a Fastbuds strain, so I just wanna give her a 20L airpot from the off and leave her to do her business.
Anyway, they are all in their new homes, covered with clingfilm for humidity and some cardboard over the lot to keep the light out. The lights in the tent will keep them warm, and I should expect them to pop up in the next 48-72 hours..... wish 'em luck!!!
Have a great weekend, and thanks for looking in!
