The plants have dried for two weeks whole and now the fruits are here. Still 1 more plant to chop, but so far 9 ounces on 3 plants. I predict an estimated 12 oz dried on 4 plants which has me pretty happy. We’ll see after the last Humboldt tomorrow. Got quite a few hand size tops which is pretty cool to see. (I’ve been told I have big hands). I will say Humboldt diesel produced fatter nugs, while Oregon produced many more in number. Even the smaller nugs on Humboldt diesel were considerable; I didn’t add one lower bud to the trim / pressing pile. Oregon diesel, however, definitely had lower popcorn nugs. I attribute this to topping and enhanced canopy coverage, but the results of scrog and topping made for a huge number of nice medium size nugs from mid to top plant, which was the whole point. Next grow, I will lollipop the lower most bud sites as well. I will be starting a new journal after my seeds pop. Moby dick time, I’m chosen for a contest on ILGM forums for this one.

Trichomes getting cloudy and or amber. Waiting for a few more ambers to show up, but at least I know I’m good to chop within about 7 days or so.

Oregon diesel pushing to the finish in one corner, learned I’ll be top dressing at the mid point of flower next time, and never missing a day watering. I’ll be staying over spring break, watch out for Moby dick for my next run, should be serious with the UV light and 1700k lights I’ll be adding.

Oregon Diesel is Turning extra purple now towards the end of flower, I estimate 10-14 more days based on trichomes turning cloudy. No amber yet.

Woke up to some more frost

Coming along nicely, buds are fattening up. Probably about 3 weeks left.

Forgot to water before I left for Vegas. Plants were super unhappy, but perked right back up. Where there was no yellow before, I have lots now. Overall very healthy thanks to a mistake free grow, until now.

Flowering is going well, oregon diesel is showing its faster 56 day flower time. Humboldt is 63-70 days flowering. Will probably harvest humboldt a week or so early and press all of it into rosin.

First scent of oregon diesel is incredible. Now pungent, there‘s a distinct sweetness mixed with a sour finish. Buds have become glittered and frosty already, yet they have so far to go. Co2 seems to be boosting the flowering speed. Humboldt diesel is flowering slower, although one of the ladies appears to be moving quicker. You can see I’ve done some serious training for this gal to increase bud sites, there are many unseen buds due to bending. Can’t wait to see more fresh ones and watch the main stems recover vertically.

Flowering away

Over 24 hours flowers on Tardis are coming in rapidly! I hope they stand up to their quick flowering time of 56 days, and lets hope Co2 accelerates that more so. I am racing the clock to my flight back home December 22. It will be curing over the holidays, I will have to chop and trim before I leave.

Plants are really enjoying the lollipopping. May remove a few more lower leaves, but at this point I’m trying to only remove leaves as I see them covering bud sites. I refuse to needlessly defoliate. Had to loosely zip tie one of the two main stems stimulated by topping, that girl is vigorous. Will probably remove the tie after a few days.

Its happeningg 🙃Little buds are forming day 5 of light flip. Defoliating did the plant so well. Recovery in about a day by view of side branching! Ooweee do I ever recommend defoliation for indoor, its a must to make use of space.

6 years ago

Defoliated again, Its always a pain to control the side branching and its a very delicate process bending the stems back under the net. Lost one bud site so far to careless bending. Small loss compared to bud sites being gained, every day the training induces more side branching.

Male down, male down. Unfortunately biggest plant (previously bottom right) grew a whole lotta baby pollen sacs. Luckily only One Tardis (OR Diesel x Timewreck) showed male. Extra space has done the plants good, 4 plants is all I want for the 5x5 anyway. 2 OR diesel and 2 Cali Humboldt diesel :). Look at how much Humboldt diesel has grown since the flip to flower! Really good stuff. Had to defoliate the bushy Tardis plants, waited a long time to do so, too long. Defoliating immediately perked up more bud sites the same day. Loving it, girls are kicking into over drive now 4 days since light flip. Smells are sticking to my hand already, very gassy early.

Second day of the light flip. They stretch every day now, and as they grow taller I bend them to a new quadrant. I go to train them today, and to my surprise I smell something skunky already! A little early resin production from one of the plants, beautiful. All females are ready to go and all unknowns are removed. Stretch ladies, Stretch!

Flipped to flower yesterday, vegged for 37 days. Initial pre flowers show FEMALE for all 3. The two feminized humoldt diesels still lag behind but that’s ok, I wanted them to be smaller. I needed to start the first week of September to harvest humboldt diesel on time for christmas, it takes 9-10 weeks to flower. Meanwhile, Timewreck lineage gives tardis a 53-63 day flower time.I may have pushed the boundary, but I guess this is my lesson learned with my short quarter system in grad school versus my long semesters back at Michigan State. I didn’t have my grow tent set up until the third week of September due to delays moving in.

Humboldt Diesel was transplanted to 5.5 and 6 gallon hercules and air pots. However, Oregon Diesel x Time Wreck is 2 weeks ahead, but has not yet shown sex traits. I may have to flip the light cycle to flowering before pre flowers arrive.

Tardis Plants have responded to the topping very well. Cali Humboldt Diesel is 2 weeks behind but has outgrown its air pots

Plants have been topped. Their growth has stunted vertically but they have recovered nicely. The new shoots have already formed in 24 hours. They should begin growing up again tomorrow.

Plants are finally large enough to take advantage of added Co2. The second set of true leaves developed almost totally in 22 hours. That’s outstanding for its age and size. Before transplanting I went from water every 6 days, to every 2 days. Photosynthesis must have increased.

6 years ago

Plant is growing exponentially with Co2 treatment, absolutely eating it up. Well, breathing it up.

6 years ago

Starting the new leaves, starting Co2 soon just waiting for a little more growth.

The plants like it outside, last few nice days here in Portland so I’m saving on the energy bill.

Plants are getting close to Co2 ready, after the first true leaves are half developed I will begin gassing them with my 5 lb tank.

Plants growing nicely, once my humidifier comes in I will start Co2. At 85 degree F co2 temperatures, 75% humidity creates optimal vapor differential for plants. Even at 75 degrees F, optimal humidity is 65%.

6 years ago

Plants grew again, ended up sealing my grow room with stripping and door sweep. Soon I’ll be starting Co2 once plants are a little more established. I switched them back to CFL’s for another week, young plants love them, and it dries the soil quick with such a close distance.

Growing semi vigorous now, pushing the new leaves out by v’ing its leaves. So adorable.

You all know what babies look like, no need to zoom.

Now they’re open, I’ve zoomed in so you can see progression under the Vero Redwood from Timber G. Lights...this sucker emits serious pfd’s of light. At 24” and fully dimmed (10% wattage) I had about 600-700pfd. To acclimate seedlings I started the light fully dimmed. All changes in environment should be done steadily if possible. Temperature difference between night and day should never max 18degF. Startling fact. So with heat and overall light intensity in mind, I’m slowly increasing bi-daily to 22%. I most likely will not top 50% during veg, depending on how vigorous my canopy. Work to 100% in flower. Not to mention the Co2. Honestly please prepare yourselves.
