Hey Icetoker

Do I remember him??? Aw, aaaa uuuu I start shaking just the look of the black snowman (as information, hes made of 70+38my WW, AK48, Chrystal, AFHK garbage in Toms (Icetoker) Ice bubbleator - man was that a nice evening - Premium dinner, 4 runs on the Ice machine, and thick smoking all night long long.) thanks man, we need to grow more plants, so we soon can get some more "garbage" to make Ice off. hehe... still having round 4 grams of the harsh shit lying - hits like a hammer.

The green colour came, because in first place i thougt I was going to make Oil with my Honey Bee extractor. Then Icetoker showed me the holy grail of the Ice bubbleator. So i smashed all my garbage, making a lot of small green parts also (small ernough to travel throug the 38 my) - Icetokers Kaligria got the nicest white/brightbrown colour. Looks so nice...

I think I will post some pictures tonight. Think in about 4-5 days I can start thinking about lst and perhaps top or fim?

Greetings from Denmark

They are a little small for all that light... plus, only that green under... seems kind a waste of energy...
Best of lucks mate! :D

For your information im only running 1 of the 2 600w mh bulbs. The leds was only 103 watt extra, so thought I would let them run too. I know its a bit waste, but I dont dare to run the leds alone.

Exactly - thats also my impression. But I dont wanna waste 1 hole month on my second grow, on giving the leds a go alone. After this grow I will make a grow with pure leds, and hope to reach 2-300 watt ledpower at that time. At the time summer is coming to Denmark, and then the heat from the hps will be difficult to control. The leds, is about 35 degrees celcius when you touch them, so very little heat and possible to place 3 mm from the plants.

But I hope that they are good as an extra light source, the spectrums hit the rate of photosyntesis pretty good, but we will see about that.

Have a nice day everybody

Hi Gonz

Nice, and yourself?

Yup I love the setup myself, but damn, 1 month ago I had a hole forrest and now only small plants... Its a bit boring. But I have a nice looong bloom period in sight where I hopefully can enjoy the hole growing thing.

By the way, the snowman is made of the garbage from my first grow (only the good garbage with chrystals) all the leaf and the stems will be used for butter.
Mr and Mrs. Icetoker was so kind to invite me on a Bubble-friday-smoketoyoudie-evening. And the snowman was the result for me. The Icetokers got about doubble the size of their Alegria and Kali Haze = Kaligria Ice - yummi

Hello

Here a little update, still in the pretty boring phase, but think soon I should start the lst on the 2 biggest plants, they have 4 sets now, so wait to 5-6?

Some pics of the girls

Im trying some stuff bought on ebay. Microbes and activator, it is mixed with bout 8 liter water and sugar
dsc02131op1.jpg


The solution is hanging 1,7 meter over the plants (the grey long box)
dsc02141fc6.jpg


This is then supposed to produce co2 and increase as long as I feed it with sugar every day. Hmm well see!

crazy stuff
I did not find trying to add co2 to my stuff did anything but make a mess for me to clean up, so I dont bother I rather they get the natural stuff from me all the time I spend in there. I am not above singing to me plants

As for your lst question, is that their final homes, if so then start away, but if you plan on transplanting them again, I would wait till after that is done

Hi Dr Dog

Thanks for the comments. How does repotting in 1 week and start lst'ing in 1½ week from now sound like?
 
i am interested in the scrog method, is it as easy as just placing a screen over them, waiting til it is 1/4 filled then switching to 12/12? or is there a whole process i dont kno about? hours and hours of research on the subject and all iturned up was that.

BTW those leds are cool, i heard that they are the most efficent way of lighting.
I wonder if they actually work.

i will tay tuned :) :lurk:

Hi piffffalici0us

Well, as its my first time on the scrog thing, I better let the experts answer... But think its one of the "grow ways" thats has most work in it. Easiest would be growing sog with threes as far as I know. But scrog is good when you dont have ernough height in your room. Or if like me, want to make all buds optimum position to the light sources. (or thats the plan :eek:)

Yup the leds looks cool, and Im impressed of all the light each produces from only 13 watts.

Cheers

Hi again all

Can some of you champion growaz advice me; would it be ok to repot to 20 liter pots today? The plants are abour 15 cm's high and has 3-5 sets of new leaves oncoming... then I can start the lst'ing in 4-5 days?

Think I made a mistake, and thats to feed 5,2 ph from start. They feed 5,2 ph in the GHS video from start, but its as like the plants grew very slow or stalled. Now I have given ph 6,0 last 3 waterings, and its like it was the green light they were waiting for.

I can see big difference in stretch as this grow the plants has only about 1,5 cm between each set of notes. In my first grow with hps as veg, the plants with same amount of nodes was 2-3 times taller.

Heres couple of pics taken 5 min after lights went on, so they are a little sleepy...

Repotting

Repotting

Hi again

Well, I had the time today, so now the repotting is done.

Picture of the present roots
dsc02169wo3.jpg


Repotting 6-8 cm higher, then the roots get 6-8 cm more vertically, and the top soil will suck water like Sahara - lesson by my mentor and friend Icetoker.

Thats my lad.......lol. Watch this one you guys.......After one one and a half month this guy wont have a roof on his house.....just a green canopy.........hehehehehehhehhehheheheheheh picture that........

Exellent work on the repotting and good to see you followed my advise on the semi. double potting trick. Those sure look nice and tight and a good thing that you cought up on the ph issue. Franco is a good grower imho but i still think ph 5,2 is way to low in early veg.....in soil ofcourse. In a perfect world i would have given them a few days more until repot to fill out a little more with the roots. But hey bont worry, like i said in the start.....just watch..hehehehe.............boom......no roof.

great work and great and informative thread my friend. See u soon

Nice repotting method. I am going to follow this method on my upcoming soil grow. How old were they when you repotted? I will be using 1 gallon, then 3 gallon grow bags, how long should i wait to repot? just a few days before 12/12?

Hey poker t. I would give them atleast a week of veg in the new pots/bags. i normally give them 10 days.... just dont repot to early cos then the old (the one sticking out) rootball is too loose and you risk a loose plant and the roots become more vulnerable to root rot and shit like that. You will notice that the old roots that are visible on the old rootball will become tree-like and hard with time and will hold to the stem like concrete when done right........... and you get a stem thick as a carrot!!!!!!!!!

remember: more roots=more buds................
