4204Life Grow Log Kush & AF White Dwarf

[FourTwenty4Life]

So my computer of 5 years finally took it's last power breath this past weekend... I just ordered a new one today and typing this on a friends laptop that I'm borrowing.

The pics will have to wait until I can install the camera software on my new PC.

So we're now past the halfway mark for the white dwarfs. The dwarf ladies are doing great and smell delicious. They have had their first taste of Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom and are responding well. I will add Open Sesame to the mix in about a week. I cant wait to be harvesting some buds in about 30-40 days. Breeder suggests 65 days from seed to harvest but I want to ensure amber trichs so rather than waste money on a microscope, I'll simply flower a little longer. I don't care if it's 5% amber or 20% amber, but I know I'll have SOME amber lol:smokin:

My G13s and Kush are all getting Grow Big now and doing just fine.

Hope everyone is healthy and tokin'/vapin' some good ganja!:hippy:

A few pictures that I was able to upload today. You will notice in the first picture that the G13 fem SS has some issues going on with her leaves. I think this is due to transplant shock because I upgraded her to a bigger pot. I could be wrong though.

As you can see, both white dwarfs are flowering nicely. HPS still on 20/4. I am considering trying 19/5 but I don't know how much of a difference it would make:hippy:

be careful letting your ladies go to long. once they pass the "event horizon" the THC starts to degrade quickly.

Agreed. I think they have at least 30 days to go before harvest. They smell amazing though. It's not skunky or piney but more of dank sweet earthy smell.

Open Sesame next week followed by 1 more week of TB/BB and finally flushing the last 2 weeks. 18/6 for the last 24hr light cycle. Harvest at the end of 6th hour of darkness. Chop, Dry, Cure, Vaporize =):hippy:

Looking delicious so far, keep it up!

the open sesame should have been used when the ladies got flipped to 12/12.

not sure how it will work for you this late in flowering.

Hey shake I'm not on a 12/12 light cycle. Read the grow log man:thumbsup: lol

I've mentioned before how I'm doing my own nute schedule and the same goes with the Open Sesame. I will be adding some OS today for the first time. They will get one more feeding of OS before the end of the grow. I know it's a powerful soluble so as with the FF trio, I'll be using very little. The last 12-14 days will be nothing but distilled h20 for the final flush.

I need some advice on my light cycle. The breeder and most reading I've done suggests to keep the auto flowers on 20/4. I've seen people grow AF strains on 18/6 but read mixed opinions on weather or not 18/6 makes AF yields smaller or bigger. Since I am on 20/4, I was considering going to 19/5, what do you guys think?? My original plan was just to keep everything on 20/4 until harvest time for the auto flowers, then after harvest, switch the remaining MJ plants to 18/6 for 2 weeks, then 12/12 to start flowering (since they are normal strains).:hippy:

my bad 420. i just remembered reading the comment about 30 days til harvest and forgot that you had those AF strains. i read through a lot of logs.

and i understand that you are doing your own nute schedule, but it wouldn't make sense to use the open sesame if you were 30 days our from harvest. just making sure you don't blow your money.

don't know much about the AF strains. from what i have read though they aren't wonderful for much of anything. i'll look and see what i can find.

there shouldn't be much difference from the 20/4 19/5. and why switch the remaining "regulars" to 18/6 for two weeks. i mean it won't hurt (if you have the space, remember the stretch!).

Thanks shake. I know AF strains aren't the strongest or highest yielding but I like the simplicity factor. Plus it gives me an early harvest while I await the REAL ladies They are coming out with more potent strains gradually. I think over time the strains will adapt more of the cannabis traits and produce stronger buds. For example, Lowryder #2 is superior in high and yield to Lowryder #1. From what I gather, the strongest AF strains are the auto AK47s, Diesel, White Widow, and maybe the blueberry strains. I'm not looking for nug quality from the AFs, just some really good seedless middies.

All the plants transplanted outside in random spots are doing fine except 1 which seems to have been partially nibbled at by something. I'm not too worried since the rest of the plants are in completely different locations.

Temp/humidity inside grow room is 79F/47%. G13 fem is starting to heal from her transplant issue. I will post more pictures on Monday.:hippy:

Some Day 45 pics of the dwarfs. Sorry the quality isn't better, I think it's only a 5mp camera.:hippy:
