Day 39 ladies..

BATF #2
Hawaiian Punch
BATF #1
Kong

Every one is looking great and getting better by the day.

Very little PM in the tent the last few days.
I might spray with just PH+ and water one more time just to be safe.
Hoping the 20 pulses a day will help them finish close to their potential.

Looks like H-Punch should finish 1st. Kong the BATF..
Day 50 I will switch to plain water/molasses in tots in this order around 2 days apart.

I'm just digging the difference between the strains.. Each has its own style and the mix of all the different smells.. Cant even begin to describe. ..

Very happy with the progress and getting better every day..

Also ordered 100' 3/8 tubing and 20 quick release straight connections.
Going to upgrade the lines to the totes and the pulse manifold.


20 feeds at one minute a day and no more over fill issue.
Might try for 2 minutes each hour X 20...
Also need to make wider watering rings and Get the outer edge of pots watered more.

Only took 3 leaves with PM today so I can live with that..
It took 6 fans in the tent but it got the job done..lol

Check out that stem. Just started ta frost.. oh my...lol

Just wish I could get this camera to take clear shots...

.

How big is your pump? and how big are the pots your pulsing? 1 to 2 minutes might be too much depending on the size of the pump and how far the feed needs to go, there is quite a few variables that need to be addressed.

 

[DamnUglyDogE]

Pumps are 260gal. I have 2 hooked into a single1/2 pvc pipe.
1/4" line to the ladies. 3 gal smarts and 2 gal Air root.
This is pulsing-I think 18 plants... About 36-48 oz in a minute x 20 a day.

Thinking - The more the better as long as I dont overflow.

Also changing out the drain line to 3/8" instead of 1/4". Later this week.

 

[DamnUglyDogE]

Playing with the camera. Trying different apps Cam-Apps out.
Getting better yet not there yet... lol
Got a little warm in the tent last nite. Got some claws..ops..
Checked PPM running 1100s.. PH 5.8. Happy with this.
Bumping pulses to 2 minutes per hour x20 today. See how this goes..

All I see in the tent is a sea of bud sites... lol the back wall is a solid 2' wide canopy. Hell I'd call my 4'x8' 60-70% full canopy. Lol

Im really happy I chose this set up for variety smoke.. Though mixing both strains and styles has been a challenge.
Having the same strain (BATF) at different flowering times and multiple cuts of the same ladies has given me a chance to see a kinda side by side on picking leave vs full canopy as well as training different ways and learning what works for her.


Ive been moving the Vert bulbs up-down about 6" a nite inorder to help the highest bud sites...

Sprayed all ladies with just PH+/water last night 45 minutes before lights on.
Looking for a green nite lite as I dont want to open early to spray again.
Figure one time wont hurt...

So happy with what im seeing and am confident it shall only get better..

 

[hotboxes]

looking good man !!!!

3/6/13 GS cookies Day 1

3/6/13 GS cookies Day 1

So im taking the 2nd branch for clone #2 and it dawns on me.
She is too far ahead to save for round two with just rooted clones and im dying to
See what she looks like..

I had a open spot where I took out the male so in she goes.
She will be a small ladie being in a 1 gal smarts. Be fun to see what a 1 gal smart pot can do in a ppk.


Added a Vert 300w CFL under the 400 and...
Call me crazy. ..
Pinched and bent 90 degrees- all the tallest ladies down so as to
Lower the 400.
Even out the canopy.
Give a good amout of lumens to the new girl.

I pinched real slow and tied down. (Fingers crossed)
I've done this veg no problem. 1ST mid flower/streach.

Had to chill pulses back to 1 minute each as 2 minutes drains pulse bucket dry at 1.1/2 minutes.

Turns out my pumps are 360 gal pumps. Not 260.lol-Good thing.

Thinking 2 pulse buckets..

[delta9nxs]

are you having fun? looks like a party in there!

i want girl scout cookies! what's the smoke like?

 

[DamnUglyDogE]

Ya know when ya 15 and your pops brings home that 68 mustang not running-looking beat up. You spend a couple summers working-buying parts-wrenching her out and putting her together.
Then one day ya have your drivers licence and you wake up and realise...
Im soooo going to get laid..



That how I feel...

GS cookies in General taste Milky soothing smoke,you get the taste in layers, cherry, lemon grassy, chocolatey, minty, then a refined silky kushy taste on the exhale. Very nice complex of ups and down high. Roller coaster buzz..

I wish I could smell it once though.. My place is always full off clouds of dank smoke.
Cant tell one smell from the others...lol

I'll tell ya though...
Nothing have got me as good as this.
Platinum Thunder Fcuk...
What a fcuking great strain this is.
Sweet and spice with a classic haze after taste (very suttle)
The high.. Beyond compair.. Very heavy - very uppity and so puts a smile on your face.
One fat joint takes you places 3 joints of anything eles would have a hard time getting you to..

Fun... yeah.. I'd call this fun...
Peace to ya my friend.. Thanks for the fly by...

Glad you got the pm under control.
Noticed you correlated the claw with heat. I thought it was a nute/ph issue? I got some clawing on my USD, but none at all on the Chem's Sis, in the same room. I added two more lights recently, so heat may be the issue. Temps are 80 lights on, 70 lights off. Got to 85 for a couple days before I dialed back the heater.
I know there is a thread on the claw, but my brain is too full of crap to remember the consensus ..

 

[hotboxes]

Hey Arm, I know this isn't the place to ask maybe I can PM you about somethings if you wouldn't mind.

The claw I noticed can be caused from a few different things, Ph being the main one but heat causes it from the intake of water to transpire more often thus drinking more but not metabolizing the food in it as fast creating a build up of excess food. You can control this by thinning out your mix till your environment is under control. hope this helps

Makes sense. I slacked on feeding a couple times, which explain build ups. Once I get the drippers and my pump timer it shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks for the feedback! Feel free to PM any questions...

I pulled a total stoner move and was feeding at 3000ppm with PH 6+ for almost a month as I was busy with environment and PM and not watching my feeding.
Tested my PPM-PH once and just went with it a month.. looked and 3000

The only clue ghe ladies gave.. A little "claw" lol
I diluted PPM back to 800s over 2 weeks (slow) IMO thats why the claw still shows.That and a couple 85 degree nites.
Only with a PPK can you screw the feed that bad and have PM with treatments.
Having only a little claw as damage. . Crazy if ya ask me... Crazy..

Lol 3k! Talk about hot juice!
Once a leaf claws, should you pull it? I don't recall ever seeing a leaf recover from the claw...
