how does your camera have an IR function??

It's a Foscam, it can take video, stills and has the IR function built-in. It has about 20 very small IR LED's around the lens to take "night" pics. Those pics/video feed are great for highlighting bud development.

Update on the 2x 10gal DIY JTR x Blueberry outdoor gals @day 49/7weeks, coming along just fine. They enjoyed a few days of sun this week and filled in nicely. FIM'd all the tops last weekend, they've recovered and generated a bunch of split tops. Last bit of super-cropping yesterday to even them up a bit before the stretch. They should go another 2 weeks before pre-flower and stretch. Indoor these stretch in the 50% range, if that holds I'll have a couple of nice monsters on hand for potted outdoors'

Beer can between the pots and my guard cat passing by in the right-bottom corner for perspective. She's laying in the shade between the 2 pots during the day, taking advantage of the shade

So green!!!

Happy in the Sun Plants. :0)

Nothing like some good old sun, back to the basics, gotta love it

Update on flowering, Day 42 for the 2x 7gal, Day 14 for the newer batch. Both have taken off this past week. The one's at day 42 seem more like 7 weeks. I can't see them going another 2 weeks, too mature already. Some bud pics below, not much clear, brown/redish hairs. Buds are fattening up and getting tighter, looking like a good haul off these 2. The newer batch stretched pretty well even and buds are setting. Those 2x 3gal Blue Dream''s are looking alright for smaller plants, the Blue Ripper 7gal is spreading out and stacking buds, looking good so far.

Yummy!

Those babies have really filled in.

Cheers JD, loving this pheno, likes super cropping and FIM, just fills with colas

Pulled the 1st 7gal plant at Day 49, it was more than ready and stopped drinking. This is the smaller one, although it looks ok, buds are not as dense as previous runs so overall weight will suffer. Pulled the second plant last night at Day 53, again more than ready, lots of bud, but not as dense as previous runs. So the 660nm before lights on and 730nm after lights out knocked off a week. But while they matured quickly, they almost matured too fast. This next round they're running at 12.5/11.5, with 10 minutes of 630/660nm before lights-on, and 10 minutes of 730nm throughout the cycle, that's a total of 50 minutes more light per 24 hr. cycle. I think is needed to make up for the faster maturity rates with the trigger lights before/after the main lights. Will have to wait and see if this extra time makes up for faster finish times and produces my expected density/weight for this pheno. I have 2 more of the same strain, in 7gal going in tonight or tomorrow. Looking like lower weight than I had expected but no loss in frost

For size perspective, the door is 32" wide and the door knob is 37" from the floor:

Looks like my Ghost Train Haze! I put the clone out in late May and the thing went into flower hard! Luckily it got hit with the Paki Punch male so I am looking forward to collecting the seeds today.

Other early flowering clones were Cherry Pie, Pre 98 Bubba, and Maku Thick reveg. They all got the same Paki pollen.

Here is the male in the middle of the garden:

i like your green brick fence mo

Thanks! It matched the grass color when we painted it.

I just threw the samples down on the grass and picked the closest match. It has lightened considerably since it was first applied.

It really made the yard feel like a park!

• GroErr - thanks for tracking the effects of running the red trigger lights. It is really interesting to see how your results changed for time and weight.

Cheers @hayrolld, nothing conclusive, this is only one strain but I do have a baseline at 56 days before the 730nm trigger lights, running clones of the same plant again. Only variable in this next run is the main lights running 1/2 an hour longer.

Always enjoy your garden pics Mo, and the almost daily seed pulls, you must have an incredible seed stash!

Thanks! I am glad you enjoy it as much as I do!

I need to start testing them and find a winner pheno.

These are mostly stray seeds from the last crop:




Cheers,
Mo

Nice "strays" The pheno hunting through your own crosses is half the fun

I wish I had a helper and a place I could grow hundreds of seedlings!

Here's the new batch, Day 0 for 2x 7gal Blue Ripper's like the one's I just pulled, At the back are the existing 2x 3gal Blue Dream and 1x 7gal Blue Ripper at Day 26. The main lights are now running 12.5/11.5, 630/660nm LED's running for 10 min before lights-on, 730nm LED's for 10 min after lights-out. So just shy of 13 hours total light. The change of the light schedule mid-flower for the Day 26 batch could affect those a bit but not too concerned there. I'll be observing these new 2x 7gal this round to see what the effect is compared to the last one's running a full round with an extra 1/2 hour of light.

Group and new batch:
