Day 5 of 12/12

Gave them a good flush last night, a couple gallons of sweet leaf water each

2 Isis
2 Grapefruit x NH
1 Blueberry







The close up pic is of the blueberry, i think shes beautiful i cant wait to see her bloom.


The white rhinos are the 2 in the center



I pushed the nutes a little bit, they have a very small amount of burn on them. Not really fond of the Grow Big product. Ill go ahead and get the Pro Grow at some point.


The white rhinos are definitely starting to pull through for me, i hope they explode in the next couple days. Also, now i know they require lots of food hopefully i can get the other WR seed to grow properly. I dont think they took to the topping very well so on the next seed im just gonna let it go, no topping + lots of food. Shes the only one that has popped soil so far on the new seeds.


Did a little bit more work on the cab, its coming a long nicely. I plan on setting up the 400 watt light in the cab to see if i can stabilize the temps with the equip i already have. If not ill go ahead and order some fluoros or a vortex fan.


Hope you enjoy, thanks for stopping by






FLUSH!

Took some clones and rearranged the main room a bit. Turned on the 400 and put the shorter plants (Blueberry and the two white rhinos) under it. Left the taller plants 2 x Isis and 2 x GxNH under the 600. Trimmed up the bottoms of all plants.


Im pretty sure the clones wont survive, the medium i got from local hydro store would not close around the stem when squeezed. Any tips? its prolly a bit late now as its been 2 days since i cut.


Im surprised none of the girls have shown sex yet... they have been on 12/12 for a week now... This means they are gonna be TALL! I better get on LST'ing quick.


The new babies, all the well known strains popped but the 5 randy candy (doc freebies) none of them have popped. We'll see what happens.

Went ahead and ordered a 4 bulb T5 flouro system (for the cab) and some Pure Blend Pro Grow

You are moving along very quickly here
Nice growth on the original plants, they are filling in nicely, Nice new strains as well.
Where did you get that humidity dome, that looks like it is at least 12 inches high, i need one that big

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

HIya ilh - get a bag of earthworm castings. When you run into stem support problems like that, stuff the hole with EWC and your good to go.

 

[i love herb]

Dr Dog: I got it from a local hydro shop, its actually i believe around 7" high, pretty standard tall dome


MGJ: DAMN! thats a good idea, i know next time.


thanks!

Nice little cab. The plants look healthy and ready to blow up. What are you using to raise and lower your lights? If you aren't already you should get some of those light yo-yo's they work so nice when you have to come at your cab from one of the ends instead of the side. My cab is built length wise like yours and these yo-yo's are perfect for getting into the back. Will be watching this fo sho.

For 15$ you could make a bubble cloner that will work faster than a Rapid rooter that you have. I always tried humidity domes when I made a bubble cloner I got roots in 2 weeks some were quicker some took a little longer. Just a idea. Everything is looking great!!!! Thats such a sweet set-up I wish I had a basement!

 

[i love herb]

The plants have been on 12/12 for 10 days and still have not even shown sex. The tallest (sativa dom) have stretched to about 18". I suspect they are going to be very tall.... oh boy.

One clone has survived and its not looking good. I actually didnt expect any of the clones survive because of the medium. shitty medium.


I'll update with pics later this week.

 

[guest5703]

i personally have tried to do a bubbler cloner and it just didnt work for me. My method is your method Iloveherb. Except I use a tuper ware container for 100% humidity because I have your same dome as well and it doesn't stay shut all the way. Second I turn those little cubes you have upside down, rapid rooters, they stand up by themselves that way and don't need little drain holes to sit in like you have. Third, my friend INDO likes his stems held tightly against the rooters like you said you couldn't get. He cuts his own hole right next to the hole that the rapid rooters already have in them but he makes it small so the clones stems won't even move around after they are in.

I've never done the EWC with cloning, but I would think that any nootes or even EWC would be too much to give clones with no roots, they would just burn....Maybe not with EWC but like I said I've never done it. Good luck man your coming along smoooth, it's really nice to just be able to cruise down to your local hydro store and pick up what you need huh? lol I have this luxury as well, PEACE MAN

Oh and be sure to check out my flower box in about a week I will have it full and a new thread. Peace again

Huge update


Did lots of work last night. Finished cab, installed passive intakes, exhaust fan (lol smoke stack), light, light hanger. Temp seems to be around 75 with the light on.

Fed the big girls their first bloom feeding, also switched the lights to HPS. The tallest is 2' tall and staring to bud. I would say they are on day 2 of flowering. Finally! 2 month count down. They are really starting to look fantastic, I have to say the Blueberry and Isis by dutch passion are really nice plants. That makes me 3 for 3 with dutch passion strains. Im a fan.




White rhinos are really starting to beef up a bit






Blueberry looking picture perfect






Isis











Grapefruit x Nevillas Haze











Babies
