Highlighter! nice to some new faces in here!
twisted-Hey man welcome back! been thinkin about popping some more of these Apollo F2's when I get more room, imn the mean time I think my indica/C99 pheno has earned a permanent place in my garden....until something else better comes along..I don't know if my clone is going to make it so I'll do another re-veg on it if it succumbs to death.
bhb-Thanks much
cali- .....HELL YEA! thanks bro. good luck on that urkle reveg! all I did to mine was give it a nice dose of veg ferts after I chopped it and it has been doing it's re-veg thing like a champ! sorry about those bugs...they really are a PITA!
Big D-Hello and welcome glad you like my red circles, perhaps add them in more often..

Well...I had a bunch of really great pics to upload, but it seems like the site is having trouble with accepting new pic uploads...so we wait..

Also some bad news Now that I have successfully wiped out all of the spider mites some thrips have moved in(just starting to notice their signs, and I actually have seen 2 of the little buggers, so it's not a total infestation yet). I'll get back on the ball with the neem oil treatments, but if they last any longer, more drastic measures will have to be sought.
Stay kind all

Damn the borg!

Hope you get that all taken care of buddy

Sorry I havn't posted in awhile I have been always lurking though

Great shots, nice harvests, and a beauty re-veg job

Keep up the strong work friend :friends:

 

[Anima]

Heya TML thanks man! :friends:
Yea, damn bugs..Don't know who they're messing with!

Well here is the pics: I figured out that there is a medium sized pic(change _thumb to _med in the code), so you can still click the pics to see them a bit bigger, but it will save load time for people with slower connections :wink:

First one is of a purple stickyberry x AK47 comin up on a little over a week old.


Heres a shot of the smaller Sour bubble x casey/c13 this thing looks weird; real fuzzy and stalky, you can even see little bulbous seedling glandular trichomes!:


Now here is a much better pic of my re-veg progress of the Cherry pheno SDxAK:


And the latest, and greatest shots from my more indica/c99 pheno Apollo 11 F2:








Be kind to one another

Hey Anima
Like I said been meaning to drop by here for a bit, but I keep forgetting and well you know how it is
You know how to take pictures, those are some impressive macros dude.
The revegging plants always look weird, but kind of neat at the same time, I hated showing pics of mine while she was revegging but hey, gotta show something
Looks like it is working out nicely for you
Great work, I will be back

 

[Core]

wauw i love that seedling anima...yuou got trichs onthere already...that must be a girl man....gsssh you better keep her safe my friend...there is a saying here in belgium....if some1 starts doing things at a earl age is done at old age ..If you get my drift...:smile:..this is intresting in my book

 

[TML16]

I agree with Core A trich covered seedling has to be something special

Great shots man!

Beauty plants

A little love for the seedlings

 

[Anima]

Dog-Hey man! yea I know things can get hectic, believe me! Thanks for making a visit anyhow! :friends:
I am actually quite proud of my reveg-progress, not at all ashamed there..

Core-Thanks for stopping by! I'll try my best to give you a good show! (With a desirable outcome)
Not to say there won't be bumps...read on...

TML- thanks a bunch man! hopefully there's more to come!

Ok kind of a big update:
bad news first :
about the last time I posted I used some rainwater from a container outside to water some of my plants in veg (stupidly didn't check pH)
Well some of them curled up(a blueberry x AK, and 1 of the baby sour bubble crosses), and some got crispy leaves(the Flo, and the other sour bubble baby)..
After that happened I went into action, and flushed out all affected plants, re-potted the Flo, Both AK47 x Blueberry. The affected Blueberry x AK stayed in the veg cab and I sent the other one right into flower. Both of the stickyberry x AK plants went into bigger containers. The stickyberry did not get any bad water, they just needed bigger pots, but they stay in veg for now. These all got PBP grow at about half strength- pH'd to 6.5.
I also (very carefully) replaced the bottom half of the soil in the sour bubble babies (watered with straight filtered water pH'd to 6.5), and put them in the clear green cups that the stickyberry's came out of, so I could see if I had any root development. and sure enough I woke up this morning to new root shoots going down the sides of the cup into the new soil, and noticeable growth on the top! They had totally stalled after getting the bad water.
Sorry for the rocky start there, I'm not taking any more chances with them :wink:
Ok getting into the more brighter side of things: the flower closet is looking great! My hopes are even starting to build for my sativa pheno Apollo 11 F2!
The re-veg is doing great, and I found roots on my BBH clone!
And the bugs seem to be responding to my neem sprayings (no additional signs, and I can't seem to find any of the little buggers...). I'll keep up on those, as they seem to be working for me.
I'll get some pics of everything for everyone in a bit(of glory and devastation alike).
Be kind.

[guest5703]

so how long did it take ya to re-veg that one anima? It took me about a month to do a BK once....I'm hoping it'll just be a month for the ones I'm trying to revert right now. Good looking plants bro, PEACE

 

[Anima]

sup cali-g!
Well lets see here, it hasn't been too long....Yup I chopped it on the 30th.
So far it's been 18 days. That last pic was taken at 14 days (had to wait a day to get pics up due to site-wide pic malfunction). I'll get more up soon, she has grown a bunch!

I think that the dual spectrum (cfl's and hps) in my veg cab has helped, as have the veg nutes that I added right before the chop.
Oh and I haven't watered it again yet save for some spraying, along with the neem treatments. (uses water WAAY slower)
-Be kind

Starting with the devastation first:
Flo (got the worst of the bad water):


Blueberry x ak47 (still a little curled up, but it looks like it's going to be fine):


Sour bubble bx1 X Casey Jones/c13 (this was the larger seedling that got the worst of it):

Heres the smaller fuzzier one (pulled through with minimal stress ):


ok on to the stuff that hasn't had a hard time with polluted rainwater...

Purple stickyberry X AK47 These things are going like rockets! They both are about this size:


Heres my re-veg Cherry pheno SDxAK getting freaky with some dual spectrum and lovin it!:


And here's a quick snapshot of the flowering chamber:

Hey Anima, sorry to hear about the Ph problem, we've all done it. I recently lost 4 ak clones because of it. Loving the new lineup, some pretty nice crosses you have man. Take care bro.

B/r

 

[ixnay007]

Well, if you ever needed clear evidence of acid rain...

Good to see they survived anyhow.

 

[Anima]

heya B/R and ixnay!
Yea we all have our moments don't we?
But there was no loss of life and there is still fun to be had!

One thing I gotta do though is stop a sec and give some credit where credit is due:
Reptisun bulbs

I really think these bulbs have been overlooked by our community. I can't say enough good about them! Plants in my veg cab really love them! I'm thinking about adding one of these larger 26 W ones to my flowering cab.
They come in a bunch of sizes (tubes and CFL's). The cfl's come in 13w 20w and 26w, and have 2 UVA ratings 10.0, and 5.0. Both kinds put out 30% UVB as well.
When you turn it on the light that comes out just looks like your standard 6500k soft white, maybe a tad bluer. They aren't too expensive, and they are well constructed and last a year. (I've got some 2 yr old bulbs that still work, but just not as good as they used to)

I have only been using the 20W 5.0UVA coil type, but I'm thinking on upgrading to the 26w as these lights of mine have been around awhile. I'll probably stick with the 5.0 (pic shown is of a 26w 10.0)as they are a bit cheaper and have worked wonders for me so far. Seedlings love the things!
Heres some baby pics of the SDxAK's mother, a Sour diesel bx1.5 popped under these lights:




See what I mean? I mean you gotta give some credit to the genes, but the conditions play a crucial role in development.
So whats up? Has anyone else out there tried these bulbs? I think you should give it some serious consideration!
-peace all

 

[twistedtree]

Hey, bud. pH problems suck. That's one of the best things I learned about my first grow. Speaking of which, I just harvested for the first time ever. I'm not a virgin grower anymore. Still a noob, but no longer a virgin

 

[Anima]

more updating..

more updating..

heya twisted! Congrats on your first harvest! Welcome to the world of smoking your own home grown!

Nobody has anything to say about the reptile lights?...well I think everyone should give them a try and see for themselves..

On with the update!:
topping the list is some pics of my c99 pheno Apollo 11 @ 56 days:





Now here is some shots from my more sativa/haze dominant phenotype Apollo 11 f2 also @ 56 days:


heres a closeup...glad I didn't trash her now!!


And now for some shots of Nirvana's Bubblicious @32 days flowering:


Be kind!

[ixnay007]

I knew that sativa pheno would come through for you

 

[Anima]

ixnay-Thanks man! I knew you were rooting for it man :wink: I hope all the waiting is worth it come smoke time! it's at 57 days and still looks to be at 30 bud-wise.
It wants to be just like it's grandpa Haze...
Just a quick note: I put 2 more Cali orange bud seed into paper towels for germination.

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Aha - Anima, I've figured out your alter ego - you're the incredibly stealthy weed loving Ansel Adams Man, those are some wonderful shots - brings tears to me eyes mate! Whew - I'll take a pallet of each - take THCVantage Visa?

Love the calio - haven't had it in a while, from before I knew how to take care of a MIL-Breed I'm gonna enjoy watching yours grow out...

Haze - so nice when she behaves - so wild and strong when she's aggressive. Would you x her with a cindy? Bet you'd find some nice 60-70 day hazey phenos...

Strong work my friend - what a haul...
