400w HPS DR80 Air Pot grow!

[Thundurkel]

Alright folks I harvested today I am not happy with my Thunder Goo at ALL!!! I don't know what the fuck it's deal was but it just didn't want to finish like it usually does. So damn near 11 weeks and I MIGHT have a zip per plant if I'm lucky and I found some bud rot! It was only on 2 buds that had dead fan leaves and sugar leaves from the stupid long flush so it ate itself from the looks of it. Also the Double Purple Blowfish was not in Air Pots! I can't wait to run it in the Air Pots this next cycle which I will start tomorrow. I have 3 Double Purple Blowfish clones and 3 LB#5 clones vegging under my T5s right now in 18oz party cups of Ready Gro Moisture Formula and I'm feeding them The Recipe by Rez Dog but with Cutting Edge Solutions MICRO and BLOOM but I'm hitting them with Liquid Kool Bloom on days 15,21,36,42 I think it is or something along those lines and should have and damn good show for you guys. I'm also going to veg longer and top and super crop all my girls for a canopy of tops...

I'll post some harvest pics when I get time I'm tired as fuck from trimming by myself all day...

WOW. Jaw dropping for me. I never thought such a small tent could handle so many plants and yield like that.

Some questions - I read and saw some info on your supplemental light but how exactly did you arrange it in the tent and what was the total wattage?

If I understood correctly you didn't top the plants or lst?

When you figure out your total dry weight that would be very interesting to.

The close up pics of the trichs are awesome - way to go!

 

[Mr.Bill]

Congrats man on your first tent grow. Very nice

 

[Thundurkel]

Thanks guys! I think I got like 1/2 - 3/4 of a oz per plant if I'm lucky I should've done coco specific nutes and followed a real feeding schedule instead of playing it by ear. This time it's gonna be incredible looking in there since the feeding will be PERFECT and I'll be able to drop the N completely having more control over my girls nutrient wise. I think I'm gonna do a test on my next round not this one but my 3rd grow in the tent. What I want to do is side by side coco nutes against the Head formula and see what I get and the company I was thinking of doing this with was either Canna or H&G. Not sure why but I always heard that Canna was really expensive to use ect BUT! When I picked up a bottle to look at over at J.st Hydro Garden it was only $13.99 for a Liter aka 32oz better known to newbs and lazy dudes like me as a Quart haha. But yea man less than $15 a quart is lovely IMO and when I checked the back for feeding info I saw that all you need is 5ml per gal!! So I'd do the Coco A&B along with PK13/14 and see if it yields better or gives me more potent meds than my modified "Hez Refuma" which is the Head Formula and Rez Recipe mixed with my own twist since I'm using Cutting Edge Solutions MICRO and BLOOM with Liquid Kool Bloom and will be using 5ml Vegan Tea every 3rd feeding

Attention New Grow Has Begun Grab a Seat...

Attention New Grow Has Begun Grab a Seat...

So yesterday was the day I transplanted my bitches into their Air Pots of ReadyGro moisture formula and tossed them in the tent under the 10,000K 400w MH. Not sure how long I plan to veg for but longer than last time cuz I'm shooting for 3-4oz per plant and will be topping and super cropping all of them. Well on with the show

3 Double Purple Blowfish on left
1 Shades of Grape in middle (Oregon Grape bagseed pheno A)
3 Little Blessings #5 on right

So I noticed something about my Air Pots I thought I would share with you all.. When put together correctly the holes get bigger toward the bottom for more air for those roots. Well that doesn't happen till after the bottom of my pot so I decided to move it down a row...

notice the bigger cones above the bottom piece..

this is where it says to put it but I didn't like it there haha

that's where I put it and I get more medium for more roots space outta of it and still have enough airflow through the bottom to air prune the roots coming through the floor...

End of first grow.. Very little pics..

End of first grow.. Very little pics..

Since I was very happy with my Thunder Goo's I only took the pic you guys asked for and some root shots but like I've been saying this next run is gonna be something for the record books I hope haha...

there ya go, Thunder Goo's side by side in a Air Pot and a regular Pot looking all flimsy and floppy falling all over themselves I had no idea how much of a sativa this bitch was feeling like I fucked my first grow up besides the Double Purple Blowfish plants which kicked everythings ass in the bunch....

here's a root ball from a Air Pot, pretty fucking dense

Air Pot vs Regular Pot AP left RP right

and finally here's the roots of a harvested plant in a Air Pot and I will say that thing was all roots damn near and tore apart in chunks instead of crumbling cuz it was being held together by all those damn roots!

Coco specific nutes in these are gonna be INCREDIBLE!!!

 

[Irie_Lion]

Great job bro...lookin forward to your next run!

 

[ColoMediCann]

Thanks Thundurkel for this thread. I haven´t seen any threads about Airpots with anywhere near the quality and effort you have put into this one.

 

[sednal]

looks great bro. sorry to hear about how the thundergoo turned out, we all run into those strains.Is the smoke any good though?

 

[blynx]

Thanks guys! I think I got like 1/2 - 3/4 of a oz per plant if I'm lucky I

So what was your total yield for your first run in this cab? 6-8oz?

 

[Thundurkel]

Shit if I'm lucky Blynx! The Thunder Goo isn't even dense!!! Nothing like my CFL grown colas of it so I'm real disappointed about em but have 8 plants vegging right now in my tent and I'm shooting for 2-3 oz per plant this round...

I'm hoping I have a qp total of the Thunder Goo and that would make 6.75 oz total

 

[dank.frank]

well, let me ask this real quick then....the Thunder Goo...is your soil mix itself different than it has been in the past.....i.e. more nitrogen perhaps?

[Thundurkel]

Yea it was different it was my first time using PBP and coco/perlite mix but the Double Purple Blowfish LOVED IT!!! But like I've said I have switched to the Head/Rez formula recipe ect and my CFL cab looks as healthy as can be! But!!!! Plants in straight Bio Bizz Coco Mix seem to be having issues I'll post pics and maybe somebody can help the cocky asshole Thundurkel out hahaha... I will say that I looked at a bunch of my posts last night and most of what people get of me here is my fucked up Bi Polar side that sounds like a pure douche bag sometimes. Then every now and then I break through my 3 personalities and say something worth saying haha So sorry to everybody I may have offended in a Bi Polar fit of madness....

 

[dank.frank]

I see....never offended me, bro...

I really like the PBP line....seems to give very consistent and even results.
I'm really curious as to why you got better cola formation under the CFL's with that particular plant....

You and me both bro! I was running Heads formula that was the only diff so maybe since the nutes were tailored for coco? I thought it was that and spectrum but now I'm leaning more towards the nutes cuz I switched over to them on that plant in the 2nd week of flower. This time it's been the Head formula the whole way or should I say Rez Recipe with CES cuz I'm hitting em with the Liquid Kool bloom once a week starting week 3 and I'm at about 4.5 weeks on my new ones and DAMN are they healthy! They also smell much better like before it was all lemon in the first few weeks than the DPD smell crept through a bit at the end but now it's a straight blend of the two so we'll see. I do know the all my girls in my CFL cab are loving the mix and my Thunder Goo's smell sweet as ever. I want to switch to coco specific nutes by H&G when I get the money though...

 

[Thundurkel]

Ok so I need some help and have posted a thread about it already but might as well ask here too just to get a answer quicker...

So I have my Shades of Grape girl in my tent vegging and she was looking fine while in the mom tent under T5s and getting the Head Formula in straight Bio Bizz coco and I'm still feeding her that using Cutting Edge Solutions MICRO and BLOOM which Head worked out for me to be 6ml M 10ml B

Is she just hungry and feeding more now that she's under HID? cuz she is right in the middle...

 

[Walt Jabsco]

light bleach

 

[GrnMtnGrwr]

light bleach

That's what I thought, especially after the mention of it only being this plant, and this plant being directly under the light. Just a guess though.

 

[Thundurkel]

THANK YOU!!! Cuz it didn't happen till it went in the tent and was doing fine before

 

[Thundurkel]

Smarts Pots have arrived!!!!

Smarts Pots have arrived!!!!

So I had to go and get me a few Smart Pots cuz I am going to have all my moms in 1 gal Smart Pots eventually and got 3 today!! I started a new LB#5 mom in one and then put the other 2 in the tent 1 with a Double Purple Blowfish and the other with a LB#5 so we can all see side by side Air Pots vs Smart Pots I'm a little of by a few days of veg but I'm waiting till they are all over 12" before I flower this time. I'll take some pics and post shortly..
