Shov's Winter Grow

[Shovelhandle]

Looking great Shovelhandle! On that last picture, what's the scoop on the curling leaves? I had an OG Kush (supposedly..) that had similar looking leaves and pretty much appeared to be a mutant.. ugliest plant I ever grew and was incredibly weak. Yours looks much better from that standpoint.. :jointsmile: Farmer Rich

Yut, the claw is in the genes. This is my third-fourth run and probably the last unless one of the girls is hiding something. No more beans. The odor of this run is unreal. I'm hoping that the potency is a match.

I payed $6.25 each for the last few pairs of HPS. I pay quite a little bit more for the grow specific brands conversion MH lamps. And those conversions have less hours life than the HPS.
Decent enough photometers are sold on e-bay that would pay for themselves as far condition based maintenance vs time scheduled maintenance. That means, measuring light output from a measured distance and replacement when the lighting falls to a determined low value rather than re0placement based on hours ran. Either case is much better than run until failure which will be less efficient the longer the lamps run.

The Cyril were cut and hung two days ago. They are light weight fuckers but smell great. They should dry quickly.

The AK-47 and Bubblegum x Blueberry are finishing up. I watered them well last week and again this past weekend. The trichomes are ripening well, I'll cut and hang to dry as soon as the soil dries out in another couple of days.

An interesting note, the trichomes are changing from clear to some cloudy but many are changing to a clear bright purple/red color. I've not seen anything like this so far. Usually the change would be from opaque to amber or clear with a little amber in the bulb. But this color is the whole stalk and head. Any comments on that, my friends?

The crop ran to 12 weeks and dried them hanging for a week. I just finished trimming last night. Later I'll jar them up to cure. Wife and I have been busy being old and ill so no harvest photos. I'll try and get some bud shots today.
