The two branches on the right I pollinated with some northern lights #5 on one and dancing lime on the other.
 
Starting to get stinky in there. My new filter should be here today. The dancing limes and slymers have a strong citrus smell. One of my mint cakes smells like sweet cake, very pleasant.
Boy did I luck out on the weather this year. I barely have to use my space heater. Temps have been high 60's in the bottom of the tent rising to 80 in the middle. The concrete floor appears to be stable at 67 degrees. Continuing with maxibloom at 1.5 teaspoons per gallon every other watering.
In 2 more weeks I will start adding Koolbloom. Looks like the beginning of March before we're ripe.
We have a frosty dancing lime and then the group shots.

For the most part we are at 4 weeks of flower. The actual time line is hard to say. I effed up early in flower when I left the lights on for 24 hours right after I flipped. Some plants reacted worse than others but they are catching up. Bottom watering is going ok. It's super easy. I pour a gallon or so into the tub and they soak it up.
It's very cozy in my little corner. I have a laptop. I have an Alexa dot for music. A comfortable chair and a place to put my feet up. We have a space heater for the cold but suffer when it's hot. All of the plants that I pollinated have seeds growing. I haven't done much trimming. It's been my experience that they will start dropping the lower leaves naturally as they near senescence. I don't like to trim fan leaves, I feel like they drive the growth of the plant as a whole.
In the mean time I am out of homegrown pot. I stopped at the dispo and got 4 eighths of killer weed. It was on sale for 12 dollars an eighth. We got toxic marriage 32.2 % Kandy fumez 31% and gas face 31.5%. I almost greened out last night sampling.

I thought I'd show off my state of the art ventilation system. We have 3 fans blowing down on the plants. In the winter I have them above the lights to blow any warmth down on the plants. The reverse in hotter times. I have them set so all of the plants are quivering a little. You can see the exhaust tube in the corner. We have a ACI fan mounted on a piece of plywood on top of the tent. The filter is direct mounted to the fan. The tube run from the tent to the fan is minimal. The fan exhausts into a 2 x 2 tent on top of the 2 x 4 main tent. From there the exhaust fumes find their way out right near the exhaust vent for the garage. There is no detectable smell. It's legal and all but better to be discreet. My first grow was in a cardboard box with no odor control. You could smell it from the street. Probably not a good thing.

Some are starting to get ripe. I went back and checked.I flipped these back in mid December. The poor drainage and leaving the lights on for 24 hours slowed down the flowering cycle. They would appear to be 6 weeks into flower. A couple look like 7 weeks. I tried to take some close ups of the frostier girls. The single flower is the purple Slymer. My phone is a cheap one and the pictures reflect that. I know it's a poor workman that blames his tools but my camera really sucks. Dinner last night was the big salad with grilled chicken and an orange from our tree.

Have a few really dominant sativas in there on right. Got a nice variety of stuff going, looks great.
 
We had a minor event in the tent last night, fucking divas. Oh my God I was an hour late on the watering.
The gelato 41 looked like a folded up umbrella. And one of the kosher kush's was wilty, stinky and sticky.
Watered them all and within an hour they were happy again.
An overhead shot showing all 19 plants including a solo cup kk that I couldn't bring myself to kill. She's gonna make a pretty nice bud.
