He's on the case Bro, no worries. I took the working LEDs out of the Helios 2's to get the Helios 6 upto full strength..... easy to change them!

Day 80

Hey folks, still sweating hot round 'ere with ambient temps up around 30C dropping to 23C at night, humidity ranges from 60 to 90%.

Luckily the Dutch Passion dames have the strength to flourish, and we're now approaching the final few weeks of this grow.

I took BAM down on day 76, so she's bagged and hanging, Lovely scissor hash, so I'm looking forward to smoking her buds in a few weeks. I reckon she'll come in somewhere around the 4-5oz range. Here's a shot of her main cola during the crop...

The other two are still pushing up buds, here's the tent now with AU in the foreground and TD just visible behind.....

That AU is full of thick flower.... I remember those lovely cone shaped buds from last time...

Her main cola needs a light of its own, high up in the ceiling of the tent...

Here's the reverse side....

and here's some of her main body....

I think she will go past 100 days

TD on the other hand is closer to finishing. She's at the back of the tent, so AU gets in the way a bit, but she's also a girl with girth.
Here she is from the side window...

Here's a closer look at the canopy...

She's got some nice thick sticky colas, with that unmistakable medicinally plummy smell....

She's still pushing out white pistils, but I thinks she's slowing down now, so I expect to start flush within a week.... I'll have a looksie at her trichs at next lights out, but last time I checked they were nice and milky with a few ambers..... depends which part of the plant you look at.

The Top Shooter is really taking it out on the leaves, I'm just about run out though, so the final few weeks will be on basic nutes with no flowering boosters. I've had the EC at 0.8 and pH between 5.7 and 6.2..... I haven't been checking so much this grow, but I thought I should keep an eye on the pH at this final stage.

I've also been a bit lazy with the molasses..... I usually boil up some water in a saucepan, add 4-5 big tablespoons of organic blackstrap molasses, and dissolve it all, finally pouring it into an old wine bottle topped up with more water..... but I'm such a stoner, I just can't be arsed to make some.

Anyway, seeing as I have a bit of space, I'm gonna plant some Colorado Cookies, Lime Daiquiri and Blackberry Kush tonight in 5L airpots, hopefully they'll pop just when I start flushing TD.

Have a great weekend and happy growing!

lovely bro. yum yum.
i love BAM, have grow her again.

[teetee]

Yeah, BAM is a nice smoke, very fruity and gets you nicely stoned..... I never seem to get big plants though, I think this one was stunted by the heat.... she took a lot longer to get going then was the 1st to flower.... she didn't stretch at all.

Maybe cos she's 75% Indica, and the EC was too low? I kept the EC low for TD, so perhaps that's why she was so much shorter.

Previous BAMs have cropped 3.8 and 7.6 ounces.

This crop, BAM gave me 4.1 ounces, but I'm happy with the quality, these were the best looking buds, covered in sticky trichomes, with a pungent fruity aroma.

They are jarred, curing with 62% Boveda packs to cure.

Just planted the Colorado Cookie, Lime Daquiri and Blackberry Kush, so, off we go again.... hopefully they'll pop on 4:20 coming up this Wednesday (20th April).

[ledbud]

nice, some DPautos dont get big but like you said lovely buds.
i want try Colorado Cookie, Lime Daquiri but my mate only grows photo plants.
i might do 1 in grow room, making some space for them.

[teetee]

I'd challenge you to a grow off, but even on 12/12 you'd still kick my arse!

When are the folks off?

[ledbud]

lol. you getting good bro,
no news from AB, you heard from him.

[teetee]

AB's been on 420, but not often.... I dunno why he's not been here for a while, I'll find out!

Happy 4:20 Bro, mine's nearly over, but got home from work and had these waiting for me.....

I planted these on Sunday night, so 3 days later..... born on 4:20

One problem with the BBK, I had to take her shell off and nipped a cotyledon off, but hopefully she'll be OK.

[ledbud]
