1toke's dual 400 HPS closet grow #6

[Guest]

Nice looking plants 1 toke... Sure have a nice variety of elites and cant wait to see your wreck finish... PeAcE

Good to see ya Wrecked! Gonna be great stuff. 18 days in flower and counting! Got 20 cuts off her for friends, 3 clones rooted and potted already, and 3 more cuts in the cloner.

Mornin babbabud! Thanks, yer too kind. Not the best camera in the world but fer an old hippie it works well enough. Now if I can just get this super macro mode figured out in flower portrait mode we'll be cookin!

Well, got 2 weeks' of pics in the cam, had them uploaded and tried to update a time or two, then set it aside. So, with that in mind the pics start again at 2 weeks ago, then last week and tonight I'll try to get this weeks' up. I'm hyped now, all the clones in the bubble cloner have rooted! Roots shot out in the last 2 days, that makes 100% success on yer gifts babbabud! And all of the TW cuts I took have rooted and are potted in beer cups.

Oh, and the pic filenames are misleading - they were named before I checked the journal. They are actually behind a week from the filename.

Okay, guess we start with the cloner as usual. (I'll get closeups of the roots tonight).

Then movin on to the Sage at 26 days in flower














Noticed a little leaf problem, misted with a tspn epsom per quart. Prolly too rich, should have gone with a half tspn.
To be continued with the Swt#3....

[Guest]

And on with the TW at 2 weeks in flower in Flower Cab #2














Whew. That's it for now - I'll snap this weeks' pics and try to get them updated tonight. See ya in chat!

 

[Guest]

Odam. Almost forgot.

Bubble Cloner: 100% rooted clones, couple Killer Queen, Schrom, and ECSD, along with TW cuts I rooted for more stash.

Propogation Greenhouse: 100% germ on 3 of each: PimpSlap, BluGhani, and AfGhani testers. Getting them in soil-less mix tonight.

Passed out 20 TW gift cuts to 5 Great Lakes growers. Huge thanks and much from all of us here to the babbas!

Got some pics of the wreck today, insane plant. Here are some of her goodies as babies - 2 weeks into flower:

 

[Guest]

Now that I've got the amazing wreck out of the way.

Let's take a look at the cloner - ECSD, Schrom and Killer Queen have roots, will get them potted soon. A few more have a little longer to go, I'll check them today and may recut and scarify if I don't see knobs yet, they should have roots with the others - have to figure out why they are slower.





Both Schrom have rooted, 1 Killer Queen and 1 ECSD rooted, 3 new TW cuts are on the left. Another KQ and 2 ECSD have to root yet, those are the ones I gotta check and figure out why they are bein fussy.

And some Sage lights out bud shots at 3 weeks




















Full shot of the wreck at 2 weeks


And SWT#3 at 3 weeks, this 4 foot SWT#3 had to be flushed yesterday, we'll see if it improves, looks like serious nute burn-with the half hour flush we will know if it was PH or nutes








And the SWT#3 in veg and a week in Flower Cab #2




That's all of them, cam's empty. See ya in chat, more as it happens. Gotta get the germed tester sprouts planted and get shots up of those.

 

[Guest]

Okay - we got a Schrom, ECSD and Killer Queen planted in beer cups and in the propogation cab to recover a little before they go into the veg cab. These were planted in Rapids Rooters slit and into ProMix, same as I did the wrecks in the back row.






Gotta get off to work. See ya in chat.

 

[Guest]

Just went over this huge thread. Awesome stuff 1toke. Looks like youve come a long way since page 1. Gonna be keeping an eye on this from now on.

hlgrg - dunno what that was all about, but as you're a newer user you have the benefit of the doubt that you don't know how things work here in our little community. Here we don't run about postin our pics willy-nilly all over other growers' threads, mucks everything up.

Your post has no substance to add to the subject of my thread? You just post pics of?? This is not the place to post your show or pics-you should create your own thread to post your pics. These are not related to my grow and have no reason for appearing in my thread. Please delete your post and create your own thread to post your pics in. Thanks.

Just looked at your other posts hlgrg- you are posting these all over everyone's threads. A note to the MOD is in order - please delete your posts that do not contribute to the threads and create your own thread.

Howdy Jay! Good to see ya out strollin in my modest dumpster grow. Grab a cold one, pull up a lawn chair & enjoy the show.

Okay, where were we. Two more clones have rooted, a Schrom and an ECSD, will get pics up tonight and get them into beer cups. That leaves a Killer Queen and an ECSD still to show roots.

Also have the tester PimpSlap, Candy Kush and BluGhani beans germed, lettin the tails grow out a little then will get them in starter cups until they get strong enough to go into beer cups.

Got half dozen TW cuts to a grower up north, good luck bro - and 4 more cuts rooting. That's about it for now - more as it happens.

See ya in chat!

Got today's update off the cam, here we go with the Trainwreck at ~21 days. Have to note here, that I've seen some growers calculate flower time from the date they first see signs of sex. I count from the day they are flipped 12/12 (old habit from Neville's grows, it usually showed sex the day after they were flowered-or within 4 days). Some strains can take 7-14 days to show.

















Next our treasured gifts in the cloner, new TW cuts are on the left - all the Schrom rooted, one more Killer Queen and one more ECSD to go, one of each are already rooted - just lettin 'em beef up a bit before planting in the beer cups. I like at least 1/2 roots, any shorter and they seem to stress trying to adapt to soil-less mix, and any longer they want to go into hydro and have a harder time with soil.





That leaves two to root yet, an ECSD and a Killer Queen. Questions rise as to the water level, stems are just touching the surface and the scarified area is in the mist



And the rooted clones in beer cups then into veg



On to the Sage at ~30 days


And a few of the SWT#3 at ~30 days










That's it for now, more as it happens. See ya in chat.

That's it, I'm done posting until the asses leave.

That's it, I'm done posting until the asses leave.



So I get this nasty note and my first neg. rep. from a flamer after asking a troll to remove his ill-placed pic strings and start his own thread to brag. Sorry if we are small personal growers here and don't match your expectations of million plants with 4 foot colas off your six-thousand dollar grows, but some of us post the mistakes with the accomplishments for sharing and learning so others don't make the same mistakes we did. Not all of us judge success by the same standards, quality is more important to us than quantity.

"hlgrg contributed some fine lookin buds... but you have to be THE most useless grower i have ever seen. Page on page of crap, your gallery doesnt have a single picture of a descent Cola in it. Its a complete waste of bandwidth. You are a bad joke."

I've had it with all the arguing and fighting, and the holyer-than-thou crap landing on our site lately. We can't even say something tongue-in-cheek any m ore without some kid or arrogant asshole flaming it. I'll continue the tester grow information in PMs and continue to update friends interested, but I refuse to be fodder for jerks like this. Peace everyone, I'll be back if this situation improves but for now I'm gone. These are the same assholes that I thought I left behind on OG/CW, and this is one reason.

Toke, I got to say this. I've been following your thread for awhile. Trying not to jump in, because there is no need too. Your doing a outstanding job and the plants are just awesome. The thing i got to say is that from every picture i have seen. Has been super clear and very nice quality. I don't know what camera you are using and if your using a camera stand, but i got to say super nice job with the pictures also. I understand other members might not have a good camera or have had much use with one, but i always look forward to seeing your pictures and heathly plants. Just want to say awesome job.
Take care,
BG

 

[Guest]

Hey BG. Thanks, I try to take care with the pics. Focus and color are most important in my book. Kinda boring until they start frostin up and fillin in but it's hard not to take pics of the plant - thing of beauty in all stages.

See ya in chat bro.

Its a crazy world toke . But just remember what goes around comes around. The door is locked now and its time to cull some out. Soon as we get rid of the culls things will be right again

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Hiya 1toke - don't let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel. I'm another member who looks forward to your very well photo'ed and documented threads, always take something away each and every time.

This is the problem with high volume high population forums - if the population is 100 with a 1% PIA members you only have 1 to deal with. Population goes to 20000 and theres 200 of 'em.

I'm sure things will settle down in a while, meanwhile wanted to re-assure you your info is valued.... :friends:

 

[Guest]

MGJ hey bro, hope your harvest is curin up nicely, havent been able to find your grow since the armageddon and im glad i found your post here for the sig link

"

so well said, heck, i may even ask ya if its ok to add this quote to my sig line!

be well

 

[Guest]

Thanks guys, you know how valued your input and opinions are to me. I'm reconsidering and biting my tongue, 1...2...3...4..5..6...7...8...9..10

I guess after you've lived here for so long you relax and forget these encounters must be happening all over and others are practicing extreme patience. It's been so long since we've had to deal with inconsiderate invasions I hate to see them win, too. I loose site sometimes of the intent of posting a personal grow to share and teach, when I see braggarts posting in their pissing contests and missing that point it gets frustrating. Our nice orderly threads are gonna be missed.

I'm gonna turn in and take care of this migraine, talk to you in the morn. Thanks for the encouragement and support, I needed our perspectives.

Peace.
