Mammoth mint white led run

[WeedHopper]

What kind of fan is that? Don't think I've ever seen one like that.

 

[clearsky]

I run 4 hurricane fans 2 12 inch ones and 2 16 inch ones.

 

[WeedHopper]

The one with a tube sticking up. What kind is that and where did you find it?

 

[WeedHopper]

Okay I found it. It's a humidifier.

 

[clearsky]

That's my humidifier, it stopped working so bought another one and took the pump out of it and put in my old one and started to work like a new one, so I ordered 3 extra water pumps for them so I never go down again and have two of them now, they cost around 160.00 a peace and the pumps costs 30.00 and peace but they work good and hold about 5 gallons of water.

 

[WeedHopper]

Pretty cool.
I've never had a problem with PM in Texas but I'll keep them in mind.

Ok yesterday the 4th will be my count for first day of flowering, a lot of people start there count the day they flip to 12/12 but I start my count when I see pistols in my tops.
So 8 or 10 weeks this journal should be over with some nice bud's hopefully.
I took a picture of each plant and you can see the flowering stage has started so I don't think they are going to get much taller, because of the stress I put on them during the early stretch.
I did things differently on this grow because my rule is don't stress the plants during the two week stretch so I will see what kind of weight i end up with.

 

[clearsky]

Well this morning will be days 7th of flowering for this run.
Looking healthy so far and changes each week should be nice looking.

 

[greenmobster440]

Yep, on my time clock they look 15-20days in..lol. Looks like just a few days away from the stretch ending.
Love them big long finger skinny leaves. Leaning towards the C99. I bet they pack a nice punch with the Cap Junky in there.

 

[clearsky]

That's why I start my flowering count when I first see pistols in my tops, then it usually works out 8 weeks of flowering to harvest.
Will see how it goes with these but there needs to be a lot more tops closer together on the main stems to get nice colas so I hope there's another good week of stretch, if not I don't think the bud's are going to be what I'm used to growing, will see with next two weeks then I will have a idea what things are going to look like.

 

[clearsky]

I looked at my last run and it was a different strain but 7 days of flowering looks a lot like I have now, so could end up with some big colas like last run.
This picture is from last run 7 days flowering.

 

[Oscarzuma]

In my experience a bigger stretch can reduce the odds for big colas. Stretch means the bud sites are getting further apart not closer together. Sativa leaning plants stretch more and tend towards smaller colas. An Afghani kush stays short and thick. Bud sites stay close together, there's more chance for big colas. This isn't ironclad and is strain dependent, but it's what I'm used to seeing.

 

[clearsky]

Things are getting pretty thick again so probably need to remove the bud sites down low that won't mount to much along with some of those big fan leaves.
Some say leave the leafs alone because they feed the bud's sites, but what ever gets removed now won't be back sense in the flowering stage.
After looking at them again I think they will produce some big bud's.

Unless that C99 blows up I wouldn't expect what your used to.

 

[clearsky]

Will see what happens, after setting down thinking about it thought go ahead and get it over with, cleaned everything up under them and removed some from top to let light in.
I don't like any larf on my plants and what i took off i know it could of been some weight but I'm ok with that.
In couple of days they will take back off and should look ok so I will see.
Here's the girls now.

 

[greenmobster440]

Oh yeah, that looks great. You'll never know ya did it in a few days...except for that naked bottom...lol.

I've gotten a little to lazy lately and been letting that undergrowth go. My daughter loves the larf for cooking n stuff so I don't mind it.

 

[clearsky]

It might not look like it but it's actually a lot of work removing all that stuff, it takes a little time to do it.
Usually do it the 2nd week flowering but this time did it day 7 of flowering or if you was going by 12/12 it would of been day 19 I think.
