BeAn's grow diary. 2006!

[Guest]

Mmm the stuff from the dam looks good! Sativa Hash is so great until my last run i had mixed indica's in and was i pleased i didn't last time.
But i agree gotta have one indica in your garden. The Fm#1 looks great, been good weather for this time of yr my plants are liking it too going to have to get some more out in the sun.
Good luck with your plants and keep it green my friend!
Have a great weekend all!!

Ha ha BeAn..that 'Dam gear is looking Damn tasty..
Lucky Dog...

I was wondering if we had matching munchers.
I didn't see any of these last year..but I didn't germ my grow 'til May.
Bug assasination day Sunday.

I love indy full stop. I like their tufty growth and for some strange reason..Indy works better for my type of pain.
She is a nice specimen.
I was just reading about the hollow stalked plants producing better trics..she looks hollow stemmed to me..

Try to make that stash last more than 1 weekend.....

Lol, thanks man...not bad for £50, my own little piece of Holland.
You had all indys? Last time we had pretty much all indy dom pheno's...or no more than a 50/50, not my cup of tea really...i like tweeky sativa's, thats the plan with this grow..even connie has enough C99 in there for head-high.
The weather has been awesome, im seriously impressed by the rate of growth..im seriously ahead of schedule season wise also, the 3D male is flowering...and the A11's are not far behind, the only 3 males out of 15pips are gonna drop n die before the girls even think about flowering, which presents another problem..the girls will be mega rootbound by then, needing big pots...i cant fit 12 massive buckets, only like 8 or something..i cant remember, but its a massive drop in the numbers if i cull.
The only way i can see to accomplish my goals, is to be shit-hot on the clones, keeping up the good run im having with labels(last time i decided to go with the flow and forget the actual strain..why i dont know.) Keeping small clones of the males in growth(?), or using up indoor space for male Bonzai clones...ill just have to work it out as i go along.

Any idea's..?

I certainly am a lucky S.O.B, i cant seem to get lucky with commercial...its all skunky indy's, or worse just a pile of poo. So smoking good gear, that we didnt grow is a rare occurance for us lol. Although, like you say..indy's i find real good for pain too. This girl isnt particularly hollow stemmed, in comparison the Lifesaver/Floater's woody stem's yeah..but the FM's i think are the Astro's, stems as fat as the Floater's main stem in Nov/Dec '06.
Ill take some pics tommorow, its a knarly mutated stem profile..with nodes at random around a kidney bean shape stalk.

Im aiming to make it last, but what can i say...

BeAn dude those look nice and healthy

Yo DocDizzle, thanks man...i feel this is gonna be a great year Ganja-wise, better than we've ever had before. I dont know about tips though, i just made the mix...planted them in it, watered them and left them to grow. They have seriously done the rest, im very impressed with the whole line up so far...the Apollo11's are some awesome lookin' plants in veg, i reckon anyway lol...cant wait to flower them, let alone smoke them.

Dude, you fix that thing up and get it outside...they are awesome bits of kit, for the price anyways. Id love a glasshouse though, the Saxe(i think) you had in your last season was really spectacular...it probably yielded more than the FL'indy i had outdoors. But plastic will do for now, i just gotta figure vents out for the late season...mould is a bitch.

All you dudes be safe, Jah bless...and toke a few for me..

yo dude,

When growing out in pots under plastic/glass, mold really should NOT be an issue.. think who is in control?

Control the photoperiod, by forcing plants into 12/12 round about July. Then we can harvest flowers well before things get too damp and too cold.

Control the amount of water that the plant receives. Little less soil and a dash of coco or perlite. Avoid soils with high levels of vermiculite. Likewise by reducing water we feed, we reduce humidity (to an extent). When plants transpire less they run less risk of playing host to viral and bacterial diseases blown in from elsewhere Many a plant can happily bloom on a tea-cup of cold water a day. Afghan's much less :wink:

Control the temps, so that day and night-temps are maintained at a balance. Fluctuations from hot to cold make certain wide-leaf indica plants pocket water at the base of leaf-blades, which then drips down their grooved leaf stems onto the calyx below Anaerobic activity then makes mold inside the plant. Keep doors and windows wide open in the day, and everything locked-up warm at night. Bubble-wrap is great at insulating glass/plastic.

Control spacing, by NEVER allowing plants contact with anything (walls, other plants or, themselves). Remove any such leaf, since these will condensate water at night as they transpire,, make drips, make humidity, make mold. Spacing equally helps airflow and makes bigger overall plants.

Remember - sardines grow small cause they roam in shoals :wink:

Make waste with old habits and simplify affairs.
Hope this helps, keep up the good work buddy :friends:

 

[DocLeaf]

yo dude,

tip: get them up off the floor buddy,, slabs are far too freaking cold for ganja roots,, and they give/store/hide water and little slug/bug things that crawl out at night!!!

some old wooden pallets with some black hydro trays placed on-top and bobs-ya-uncle,, ya tents has some ground cover / insulation :wink:

 

[BeAn]

These things, ive never even thaught about...good call man, ill get on it this after..and ill be down the Growshop next week for trays..

Mega thanks for the info, i just didnt think about the slabs bieng cold...and also the actual reasons behind mould appearing lol...got any more gem's in that brain o'yours lol, feel free to share some more.

Nuff respect dL...

 

[DocLeaf]

Life is measured by the seasons of growth,,,

"Cause just like a tree planted, planted by the river of water
That bringeth forth bringeth forth, fruits in due season
Every thing in life got its purpose
Find its reason in every season, forever Yeah!

We'll be forever loving Jah."

Just went out and tagged the plants mossy style, noted down some observations like: fast to root, looks A13 dom, looks C99 dom, decent male, knarly stem...etc etc....

Just about to go to the growshop for hydro trays....

 

[BeAn]

Today they are lookin' thirsty, so...im gonna hit them up with some N, a bit of P and some K...also a shot of BioHeaven, fo' micro's. This is PH'd water too, so no more yellow tips....

Be safe dude..

 

[TML16]

Lookin awesome...nice and stealth for the outdoor season

Bet those monsters will grow right out the top!

Congrats on the roots Good and healthy looking

Nice sativa lookin Lifesaver...bet you she'll be a treat

Great Growin BeAn

 

[BeAn]

Yo TML, thanks for the kind words man..this is gonna be the best season yet me thinks...

The LS is day wrecker bud, a few bowls or a joint....end's even the most seasoned smokers day...turns people into vegetables lol. The sativa looks come from the JC in her lineage,
the only other JC trait she has is the rude quality of the head high...like a whirlwind inside your head...quite an experiance, she's got potency lol.

Jah bless...
