McToker Grows Again ~ CFL/HPS Hempy Bucket ~ Bag Seed

[McToker]

Jake ~ We thank you for the kind words and we are very much looking forward to going purple.

We tried to upload some pics from today but I guess we're running into the same problem that shovelhandle had.

Hey, how are those outside male plants doing?

Hey, how are those outside male plants doing?

They succumbed to the heat several weeks ago when it hit 109. I miss those 109 degree days. Can't wait 'til it starts cooling off again. It was 114 yesterday.

Looks like the pics will upload today. Taken with and without flash.

1 & 2 are BA #3
3 & 4 are BA #5
5 is AK #1

Here are the rest of yesterday's pics.

1 & 2 are AK #1
3 is a group shot

Oh yea. We pinched a little off one of the BA's yesterday. Boy oh boy, it sure doesn't take much.:jointsmile::stoned:

Looks like that plant got snowed on, haha! :jointsmile:

Mrs. McToker and I really like this part of a grow since we get to see more and more sugar (as the wife calls it) each day.

Them are looking chunky, Bub. Noice! :jointsmile:

After a discussion with Shovelhandle over on his log, we've decided to hold off on adding molasses pending further research.

We dropped the CalMag from 10ml to 7.5ml. That puts it at 400ppm. Next feeding day we'll drop it to 300ppm.

Buds are getting plumper every day. I realize it's like comparing apples to oranges but we can see where the buds appear denser under the HPS than they did under the CFL's on the last grow. We don't know if it's the genetics difference or the light or both.

Almost forgot. We got purpled yesterday. Thanks Killa.

Who could have guessed? McT is powered by Mopar. :jointsmile:

My everyday driver is a '66 Belvedere II 318wideblock.
Hauled a friend's 89 civic on a 20 foot flat bed for 5 hours off of a homemade bumper hitch just 2 days ago.

begood Mrs. and Mr. McT.

Yup BeFree, we've owned 'em all from slant sixes, including a built one, to highly modified 440's. Well, everything except a Hemi. We plan to remedy that as soon as our 4x4 is paid off. I'm leaning towards a Charger but Mrs. McT really wants a new Challenger.:jointsmile: All I care is that I can blip the throttle and make it go WaahPaah.:jointsmile:

Bud weight seems to be becoming an issue. I found one branch broken and the bud just dangling. Couldn't rescue it so we lopped it off. Fortunately it wasn't a main cola.

One main cola (BA #2) just kind of fell over. This one twisted the stem rather than a break so we splinted it and will hope for the best.

As we watered we went through and tied up some of the lesser branches. Gonna have to get some bamboo supports real soon.

I just fealt like snapping a couple pics so #1 is the splinted BA and #2 is the main cola on AK #1 with fill flash on.
